223: Ponyo On the Cliff By the Skeleton Man

For this Double Edged Double Bill, the fantasy realms are coming to us! Yes, Adam and Thomas are here with an episode about urban fantasy films (ie when fantastical elements come into our real world) given the genre is in the air with the recent premieres of House of the Dragon and Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power! First, Michael Rooker and a group of mercenaries must catch the baffling titular villain in the Predator rip off TV movie known as The Skeleton Man! Then, acclaimed animator Hayao Miyazaki does his spin on The Little Mermaid with a little fish girl and boy finding each other in Ponyo On the Cliff By the Sea! Together, our duo answer the crucial questions. What would it be like to work with The Skeleton Man? Why can't we eat anime food? Which two films will they cover for their next episode on Viola Davis? Well, watch out for helicopter destroying arrows as you run on top the sentient waves of Japan so you can listen to find out!
