This week we are watching the final animated film to be featured on this season of Shifting Expectations. Discussing Spirited Away is a challenge and a pleasure. We try to describe the beauty of the story and animation. We also wrestle with the themes of the film and ask what cultural significance we might be missing.

Also this week is The Godfather. It should also be next in your feed. We briefly debate if this film is deserving of its unmatched praise and popularity.
