## Resource

The Brendans celebrate Animation Domination with a brief all-spoiler chat about the money-printing Super Mario Galaxy Movie before celebrating 40 years of Studio Ghibli by diving deep into the studio's first film: Castle in the Sky . There's also chat about showing spooky 9-year-olds One Cut of the Dead , the reappraisal of 2005's Constantine , emotional pro-shots of live theater, and a surprisingly large dose of Scooby-Doo. Our Opening/Closing Music is from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): "Skies of Hope" by RA https://uppbeat.io/t/ra/skies-of-hope You can follow Foley on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and/or read his work on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cinapse⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ , and you can follow Agnew on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Letterboxd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ , ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ , writing at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cinapse ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ occasionally, and wherever you can bloody well find him.
