It's week four of nine of our trip through the Zatoichi the Blind Swordsman boxset. First up is Zatoichi's Revenge (Akira Inoue, 1965) wherein Ichi faces off against bad guys who are actually maybe too evil for this series. Then it's the mercifully s... more
In week three of our boxset endeavor, we cover Zatoichi's Flashing Sword (Kazuo Ikehiro, 1964) which has a series highlight so far Underwater Zatoichi Attack; then Fight, Zatoichi, Fight (Kenji Misumi, 1964) which gives Zatoichi a baby, a phenomenal ... more
It's week 2 of the Zatoichi boxset and we get our first taste of what will become a favorite aspect of the films moving forward: Zatoichi versus a corrupt government. That doesn't show up until movie six though, and we've got two others to talk about... more
Oh boy.
Sometimes the Criterion Collection hears a whiff that there's two guys doing a Spine Number podcast and says to themselves, "What can we do to mess this up?" Normally, within the Collection, and therefore within our podcast, each Spine Numbe... more

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.
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.
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.

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.
