    Also known as "Hauru no Ugoku Shiro"
    Welcome to our 16th podcast on the films by Studio Ghibli. Today we're talking about one that is often less well regarded by critics but we're giving the movie an earnest shot! Of all the Miyazaki films this might be the most divisive, but it is also a fond memory of many childhoods. On the cast today are: Nyard, PlatonSkull, Hipster_Cthulhu, Tassu and Voice-Flower.
