Gobbledygeek - A podcast by Paul Smith and Arlo J. Wiley

We know that every episode of Gobbledygeek makes you cry, but this one might especially depress you. It's Geek Challenge time once more, so Paul has tasked AJ with watching the 1978 animated adaptation of Watership Down; in turn, AJ has challenged Paul to watch the 1988 anime Grave of the Fireflies. One is about the brutal escape of a group of rabbits from their soon-to-be-demolished warren. The other is about the brutal attempts at survival made by a very young brother and sister after their home is demolished in WWII-era Japan. Both are very sad. To lighten the mood, AJ talks about watching every episode of Childrens Hospital over the last week and both of them discuss the addition of Ciarán Hinds to the cast of Game of Thrones.   Next: as summer winds down, it's time to take a look ahead for the Fall/Winter Movie Preview.
