On this coming of age themed episode of Inside the Silver Screen, the crew dives into the necessary elements of a coming of age story. They then look at how those elements manifest themselves in Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away. They end by looking at how Linklater uses music to poetically comment on Mason’s coming of age journey in Boyhood.
