  • #87, - A Mixed Bag

    Sound level changes and late coming guest (they go ahead without him!) make episode #87 difficult to listen to. But guest De Palma, when he arrives is, insightful, but could have been so much better. Needs a redo/ re-edit.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#662 - Kiyoshi Kurosawa on The Samurai and the Prisoner
Q: What was it like working with Masahiro Motoki in the role of Murashige, given the balance between historical context and a modern sensibility?
Kurosawa notes Motoki's modern, forward-thinking approach and how his interpretation helped shape the dialogue-driven performance within the Jidaigeki framework.
#662 - Kiyoshi Kurosawa on The Samurai and the Prisoner
Q: And how was directing this style a challenge for you, given that Chidageki has a more theatrical rhythm than your usual, more realistic projects?
Kurosawa explains that the film demanded balancing period aesthetics with contemporary resonance, emphasizing dialogue and controlled pacing over realism, and notes that working with a capable cast helped find an authentic baseline for the characters' world.
#661 - Yeon Sang-ho on Train to Busan
Q: How did you approach zombie design and movement to make it feel unique to Train to Busan?
He notes starting from a makeup-based approach but ultimately prioritizing movement and choreography, collaborating with a breakdancing company to achieve the film's distinctive jerky zombie motions rather than relying on traditional makeup to carry the effect.
#661 - Yeon Sang-ho on Train to Busan
Q: Can I ask you a little bit about how you worked with your cinematographer to create this cinematic look and feel?
He explains that his background in animation and extensive storyboarding shaped pre-production, and that while live-action required budgeting and scheduling adjustments, the fundamental planning process remained similar, with a shift toward understanding real-world filming logistics.
#660 - Ena Alvarado on Lost Chapters
Q: What can you share about the upcoming second film and Ena's journey to Barcelona?
The second film will follow Ena to Barcelona to explore the archives related to Bolívar Coronado, focusing on friendship, the struggles of starting new creative projects, and the persistence required to pursue intellectual pursuits across borders.
