051: Your Name (2016): An Excellent Adventure

Join Ellen, Paul and James in a wide-ranging discussion that begins with Makoto Shinkai’s Your Name.

What starts as an exploration of the film’s narrative - two strangers connected across time and space - expands into a conversation about memory, identity and the human desire for connection.

They consider how films like Your Name reflect deeper cultural questions about fate, loss, and longing and why stories of chance encounters continue to resonate.
