Manga Mavericks

You thought we were done releasing all the podcasts we recorded in 2017. You were mistaken. Very mistaken. Throughout 2017, the Mavericks attended GKids and Fathom Event’s first Ghibli Fest, hoping to unfurl the secrets behind Hayao Miyazaki’s animated masterpieces. Instead, they discovered something different… something darker. A conspiracy. THE GHIBLI CONSPIRACY. This podcast was a mistake. Like anime. But enough is enough. The truth must be heard. Brace yourselves, because once you listen, you’ll never be able to look at these films and the man behind them the same way again. CONTENT WARNING: Our conversation features disturbing and mind-blowing dissections of your childhood favorites. Don’t listen unless you can handle THE TRUTH!!
