S6E8 - Save the Green Planet! (2003)
<p>In the latest episode of Heroic Purgatory: An Asian Cinema Podcast, John and Jason put their tin-foil hats on and lock themselves in basement to talk about Save the Green Planet, Jang Joon-hwan's 2003 South Korean film that somehow never got the credit it deserves. A truly idiosyncratic film, Save the Green Planet features incredible acting, art direction, and just enough melodrama to make you feel sad for the unhinged protagonist. </p> <p>Enjoy!</p> <p>Website: <a href="https://www.heroic-purgatory.com/2026/07/s6e8-save-green-planet-2003.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.heroic-purgatory.com/2026/07/s6e8-save-green-planet-2003.html</a></p> <p>Follow the show on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/heroicpurgatory.bsky.social</p> <p>Follow Jason: https://bsky.app/profile/filmnohito.bsky.socia</p> <p>Follow John: https://bsky.app/profile/jmhimara.bsky.social</p>

S6E6 - My Neighbor Totoro (1988)
<p>In the latest episode of Heroic Purgatory: An Asian Cinema Podcast, John and Jason move to the countryside for a friendly chat with magical owls and bus-sized orange cats. That's right, we are covering My Neighbor Totoro, the 1988 Hayao Miyazaki film who's titular character became the logo for the newly minted Studio Ghibli. Though often viewed as a "children" film, Totoro is not all about laughs and cuddles. We discuss the more tragical underpinnings of the story and how it reflects the ambivalent Japanese society of Miyazaki's youth. </p> <p>Enjoy!</p> <p>Website: <a href="https://www.heroic-purgatory.com/2026/06/s6e6-my-neighbor-totoro-1988.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.heroic-purgatory.com/2026/06/s6e6-my-neighbor-totoro-1988.html</a></p> <p>Follow the show on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/heroicpurgatory.bsky.social</p> <p>Follow Jason: https://bsky.app/profile/filmnohito.bsky.socia</p> <p>Follow John: https://bsky.app/profile/jmhimara.bsky.social</p>
