We talk about the historical context of this film taking place between WWI and WWII with the rise of fascism looming in the background, how incredibly enjoyable and underrated this movie is, why Miyazaki made Porco Rosso a pig and why so many of his films focus on air travel.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Available to stream on HBO Max and Amazon Prime (for a price), available on Netflix outside of the U.S., and also available on Blu-Ray and DVD everywhere anime is sold, including Amazon, Barnes &amp; Noble and Best Buy.</p> <p><br></p> <p>David lives in London, UK.
