    Deeply obsessed with how rie sweetly demolishes the guys with “is that dog food” and “is that garbage”
  • I’m so glad Andrew was there to provide the necessary rat content in Shane’s absence with that charlotte’s web pick.
  • @casual_nihilism
    Man, I didn’t realize how much I’ve missed Andrew. Please keep putting him in situations he can be pleasantly hostile
  • @sarailopez3331
    We need to all sign a petition for Ryan to watch all of the Ghibli films and then rank them.
  • @needyverse
    The way Rie says “Is that garbage?” is simultaneously the fanciest sentence I have ever heard, and the most savage.
  • @bunnie5394
    rie's sweet demeanor coupled with her quick roasts of the boys is so fantastic lmao
  • @Scrofar
    so the verdict is Rie's perfect food group: white blobs and two pieces of produce Ryan's perfect food group: animal feed and Mexican cuisine Andrew's perfect food group: sludge, grease, and vermin
  • @ryanaspelund9247
    Ryan tears apart fresh cucumbers and tomatoes and then picks literal dog food
  • @lensexton5516
    Love Rie roasting these guys for wanting to eat dog food and bugs 😂
  • @bakenstrips
    the fact that ryan hasn’t seen My Neighbour Totoro or Kiki’s Delivery Service but has seen Grave of the Fireflies is wild
  • @sirenfang1179
    rie is so valid for only choosing ghibli foods but I gotta say she did pick the blandest of its selection, like damn there are so many more delicious meals to choose from...where my ponyo's ramen or howl's breakfast at 😭
  • @SingAllTheThings
    A lot of Rie's list had foods that spoke to comfort in the given environment: the cucumbers and tomatoes were being eaten in the heat of the summer, with friends. The rice porridge was being made and eaten after a long day, in a chilly enough environment that hot food would have warmed the soul. The hot oatmeal was made for a sick little girl by a new friend who cares about her, and the egg and toast was shared by two new friends on a dangerous adventure. And Zeniba's tea party is a kind of respite for Chihiro, where she gets some support and answers, as well as comfort food. But that's my assessment :)
  • @FramesPerSecond
    Rie saying “why are you here?” Was amazing. Ghibli has the best looking animated food. Ryan was defs under qualified lol
  • @calliope720
    Andrew really bringing strong Shane vibes with rat feast, pig buffet, and bugs as top 3
  • I'm ashamed to admit how offended I immediately felt when Ryan said Casa Bonita is fictional 😅 As a Coloradan I want it to be known that Casa Bonita is indeed real and a cultural icon, infamous for terrible food, amazing dinner shows, and a big scary gorilla.
  • @JonDiss
    THANK YOU ANDREW FOR REPRESENTING THE PEOPLE WITH HOWL’S EGG!! We miss Andrew’s dry sass!
  • @camryncraig5489
    How Ponyo’s ramen wasn’t anywhere in Rie’s list is shocking, it’s always the first thing i think of when i think of ghibli food
  • @1Lanavis1
    The moment Ryan said he didn't watch Totoro or most other miyazaki movies made me realize his animated food takes couldn't be trusted 😂
  • @daleblanquita
    I like how Ryan’s picks aren’t necessarily based on the aesthetic appeal and animation quality of the food but the passion that people in the animated universes have for the food.
  • @missatralissa
    I thought Rie was gonna have the best list, but aside from the tea party the rest were not ones I would have picked. And Andrew was 100% right the egg in Howl's is the superior Miyazaki egg.
