Have we hit celebrity overload? Plus, Miyazaki's movie magic

Brittany feels like we've entered a new phase of celebrity
oligarchy; new celebrity business enterprises are popping up daily,
and we can't seem to get away from it all. But is this new?
Brittany invites culture journalists Bobby Finger and Lindsey Weber
to discuss how the notion of celebrity is changing, and what it
means for us.

Then, we turn to Hayao Miyazaki, the legendary animator-director
whose latest film, The Boy and the Heron, is a frontrunner at this
year's Academy Awards. Brittany is joined by Jessica Neibel, Senior
Exhibitions Curator at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, to
unpack the life lessons Miyazaki's films offer, from the
unreliability of adults to the messages of resilience rooted in
Miyazaki's own postwar childhood.
