  • Ep. 16 | Ghibli Nostalgia: What We Needed Then vs. Now
    Feb 2 2026

    In Part 1 of our two-part Studio Ghibli mini-series, Natalie and Zori reflect on their personal histories with Ghibli films and the deep sense of comfort, wonder, and meaning these movies have carried across different stages of their lives. From childhood escapism to adult reflection, they explore how the same stories can meet us differently depending on who we are and what we’re navigating at the time.


    This episode is about nostalgia, growth, and the quiet magic of revisiting stories that once held our hands and now offer something new. Cozy, reflective, and a little emotional, this conversation sets the stage for why Ghibli continues to resonate, no matter how much we change. 🌱✨

  • Ep.15 | Arcane Bonds: The Price of Progress - Viktor's Emotional Blueprint
    Jun 23 2025

    In the final episode of our Arcane Bonds mini-series, Natalie and Zori turn the spotlight to one of Arcane’s most quietly compelling characters: Viktor. From his complicated friendship with Jayce, to the brief but impactful presence of Sky, to the haunting mentorship of Singed, Viktor’s relationships reveal just how deeply human his journey truly is—despite his pursuit of something beyond human limitations. This episode explores how Viktor’s relationships mirror his inner struggle between vulnerability and ambition, human connection and sacrifice.


    This episode explores how Viktor’s relationships mirror his inner struggle between vulnerability and ambition, human connection and sacrifice. Join us as we unpack the emotional cost of brilliance, the grief behind progress, and the ache of becoming something more… at the risk of losing yourself in the process.
