Lauren Bacall Tribute Podcast – “Howl’s Moving Castle (2004)”

Note: One point I forgot to mention on the podcast – the film was originally slated to be directed by Mamoru Hosoda, who has directed two SF films which we’ll be discussing later on the GSSFT Podcasts – Summer Wars, and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, before Hosada was removed from the project and Miyazaki took over.
