But first, Tommy gives in and does a Supersummer hero recap without Sunny, one that's filled with funny awards, and further distaste for Zac Snyder. Following this, the gang heads right into a preliminary discussion on Makoto Shinkai, and some of his traits as a director. Then the duo has a mix up and is forced to do encapsulated reviews on early Shinkai film VOICES OF A DISTANT STAR and THE PLACE PROMISED TO US IN OUR EARLY DAYS (which Tommy keeps confusing with The Place Beyond the Pines). After that, it's the epically epic FIVE CENTIMETRES PER SECOND, which is revered by both hosts. After that, Umer and Tommy finish with THE GARDEN OF LOST WORDS, which leads to a discussion on the awkwardness of student teacher relationships, and finally CHILDREN WHO CHASE LOST VOICES, in which Tommy comments on why the hell does Shinkai feel the need to have stupid long titles. Then its time for the SUPER HURE MEGA ANNOUNCEMENT THINGY, which is super important and is crucial to the further endeavours of this podcast. It's an episode complete with Will Sasso, Summerheros in the dead of winter, economy of story, google hangouts, beards, a missing Sunny, arguments, Japanese anime, and the worst closing in the history of podcasting ever. This is one episode that'll make you want to listen for approximately the time it takes a rose petal to fall to the ground! As always we would like to thank you for listening. If there is something totally awesome that you have to tell us, then send an email to [email protected] or [email protected]. Be sure to join us next week, as we (fingers crossed) re do the Polanski episode.
