Miyazaki and the Boy and the Heron: Do You Have To Suffer To Make Great Art?

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/d21d0a93-47d1-46f3-80c1-b1e8016cea80/transcript

Always with you, sis.

Jason and Rosie react to the beautiful finale of Arcane. From the battlefield to the dance floor, there was a LOT that happened in these final three episodes, and our hosts share their read on the show, insights from the creators, and what parts hit us the hardest. Our Xtras hosts Aaron, Abu, and Joelle join to talk about the pacing, which storylines we expect to continue in the future, the MANY many easter eggs placed along the way, which character left Jason wanting more, and of course, the jail scene. To close out our coverage of Arcane, everyone picks which character they would choose to main if we were jumping into a match of League of Legends after watching Arcane.
