Hey everybody! Welcome to episode 114 of the Not Joanna Eggs podcast! This week, Tracy and Robin review the 1981 Japanese anime film, Chie the Brat (Jarinko Chie).
Based on a long running manga series, this film was directed by Isao Takahata (Pom Poko, Grave of the Fireflies) and follows the story of a surprisingly responsible but short-tempered young girl, Chie, and her life running a small restaurant and reining in her deadbeat dad, Tetsu.
Join them as they discuss Tetsu being more of a dum-dum than a himbo, Chie's adorable relationship with her mother and the weird subplot involving cat testicles. (I mean, it was a thing with the tanuki in Pom Poko too, but this is just becoming a pattern now!)
