AGP#077 – It’s Your Name! We’re Swappin’ Bodies!

Yes indeed it’s time for Evan and David to talk about Makoto
Shinkai’s smash hit film Your Name (Kimi no Na wa). Spoiler alert
for those of you living under a rock (also spoilers for 5
Centimeters Per Second). Everybody else, expect lots of serious
discussion of the themes and execution of the film, as well as
whether or not the characters actually bang (we’ve gotta stay on
brand). Topics include: Hayao Miyazaki the cat, “pulling a
Shinkai,” and Horniness Correspondent Davide Bestrella.
