Episode 46: Howl’s Moving Castle

Welcome to Screen Tea Podcast! Stoke Calcifer and put on the kettle, Lisha and Jules are rounding out a month of animated films with Hayao Miyazaki’s 2004 fantasy adventure film, Howl’s Moving Castle! Listen up as Lisha goes on a tirade against weird love stories while simultaneously loving on a fire-demon, as Jules pokes at some writing issues and salivates over beautiful animation, and both of your hosts lament over how the titular character is really just a lil punk. It’s a bit of a rickety ride, but just push play and let Turnip-Head lead the way!

Episode 43: The Triplets of Belleville

Welcome to Screen Tea Podcast! Bonjour et buvez beaucoup d’eau pour vous préparer à l’épisode de cette semaine! For week two of all-animated film December, Lisha and Jules are coming at you with the feature length directorial debut from Sylvain Chomet, 2003’s The Triplets of Belleville! Ecoutez as Lisha 1. Mangles the French language and 2. Get’s really, really bent out of shape over some sound and character design, as Jules becomes the protector of all things Grandmother, Dog, and 2D animation related, and as both of your podcasters get their feelings all over the place re: the absolute beauty of this film. If this is one you haven’t seen yet, folks, consider it homework: find it, watch it, and then hunker down with us for a review that’s all over the place, in true Screen Tea Podcast fashion (but this time, with more French swear words tossed in!).

Episode 42: Kubo and the Two Strings

Welcome to Screen Tea Podcast! Please get cozy with whatever warm beverage brings you the most comfort, because for their first ever animated film episode, Lisha and Jules have chosen possibly one of the most heart-wrenching animated films created to date: Travis Knight’s 2016 masterpiece, Kubo and the Two Strings! Settle in with some loved ones and listen as Lisha explains exactly why Kubo ranks amongst her top nine films of all time (yeah, top nine, she knows what she said), hear Jules struggle to come to terms with her feelings about Beetle/Beatles while being smart about animation, and get a healthy dose of your podcasters getting annoyed about precisely ONE THING about this movie, really (can we maybe not whitewash roles? Guys? Hello?). Don’t blink; there’s lots of story here, in the first episode of an all-animated movie month!
