SHOWNOTES: Hajimemashite, yōkoso, and all that weeb shit. This month, Collateral Cinema is talking anime films—and by anime films we mostly mean the pre-weeaboo era of the 80s and 90s (you know, when anime was GOOD, amirite?). And whaddya' know, this is our first Studio Ghibli movie as it happens. That's right, folks; we are exploring Hayao Miyazaki's 1997 supernatural/historical fantasy classic Princess Mononoke! While considered by many to be Miyazaki-sensei's greatest work, is Mononoke-hime (as it is known in Japan) truly "influential of an entire generation"? Ok, probably not, but this movie is dope as fuck, and it's part of what's you weebs owe your entire personality to.

SHOWNOTES: The Collateral Media Podcasts join up once again for a video game movie theater review, this time on the recent adaption of the action–adventure game series Uncharted! Starring Tom Holland as Nathan Drake and Mark Wahlberg as Sully, this flick has been under the scrutiny of series fans since before its release, but does it hold up to the spirit of the games?
