- Melvin does a rundown of similarities he's observed between the 3 Miyazaki-directed movies they've covered on the show.
- Chihiro grows from someone who fears a lack of agency into someone empowered with determination.
- Spirited Away is a little different from other family-accessible movies in that its complicating incident isn't the fault of it's child-protagonist but rather their parents.

- Talking about the "weeping rice-cake" scene.
