We say goodbye to the Zatoichi the Blind Swordsman Boxet with film #25: Zatoichi's Conspiracy (Kimiyoshi Yasuda, 1973), and we end with neither a highlight or lowlight, but  a solidly middling entry. It doesn't help that not only are we tired of this... more

Our penultimate Zatoichi episode brings us one that is possibly the best Zatoichi movie, one that is not quite the most middling of the middle ones, and one that is quite probably the most infuriating movie the Criterion Collection has made us watch ... more

Our itinerant samurai expert Donovan H. joins us for this set of three Zatoichi films, giving us some insight into Ichi's sword fighting style and what some of the movies we won't be watching say about Ichi's blindness. As for what we did watch: Kenj... more

  • Great discussions of interesting movies

    I appreciate the “two friends talking about movies” vibe of this, especially when they bring their cultural knowledge and political perspectives to bear on the films. They let you know when they don’t think a movie deserves its reputation, but they also recognize and appreciate genius when they see it. They are also funny, congenial hosts, and the theme music is so damn catchy.

  • i really wanted to like this

    but it’s just terrible. condescending, moralizing, extended periods of literally each guy saying “yeah uh huh” multiple times to each other while laughing about the film. they don’t like these films, don’t like the directors, don’t like the people who like these films. not knowing who john cazale was the last straw though. just another couple of smug guys with zero frame of reference prior to ~2015 and proud of their ignorance.

  • I'm pretty mixed on this podcast. There are some good discussions to be had and I appreciate the effort they put in to provide background context to the movies. However, for the amount I've listened to now ~25 they spend way too much time talking about what they don't like with some episodes having no positivity. If they read this I would say, negativity is not interesting to listen to.

  • Good Show; Too Much Banter

    Guys I like the show but you are surely losing a lot of listeners with your pre-film banter. Your strength is the review and analysis. If this whole endeavor is for you then don’t change a thing. If it is for the audience (or both), then improve the banter or drastically cut it or eliminate it or use chapter indexing so we can skip right to the movie content.

    This is all intended as constructive criticism.

    I appreciate you doing criterion films.

  • Rambling

    Great subject matter. Unfortunately these guys can’t keep a thought together without drifting off topic. Only heard the Ikiru episode but I won’t return to this pod.
