So Necessary, Thank You!

I’m a huge Sarah Marshall and I’m excited to get to know Alex! I’m someone who grew up with a single mom and only distantly remembers his dad personally but has much second person information about him. So amped about this show.

One movie I’d love to hear you process would be My Neighbor Totoro, perhaps both the sub and dub to glean what you can across their differences. I recently saw it for the first time and felt such a profound joy in seeing the intimacy and kindness Mei and Satsuki’s father demonstrates towards his family. Perhaps you could make comparisons across Miyuzaki/Ghibli films about portrayals of fathers in the dubs, given there are a lot of big name American stars as voice actors if you’re more comfortable focusing the analysis on the American distribution.
