Germanya year ago - A Good Recap Pod, But Comes Up Short
These guys do their due diligence, and they do Kurosawa well; however, they get some stuff wrong (they especially miss some stuff in Ran, I think). But, this is just killer podcast and I would love to hear Timothy and Chris do another podcast together.

United States3 years ago - More Mifune please
Loved your podcast! I’ve periodically searched for years for any “Kurosawa” mentions in podcasts, so what a dream come true when you guys came along.
My followup dream podcast would be your coverage of non-Kurosawa Mifune films. Especially where he’s a 10: Samurai 1-3; Wedding Ring; Muhomatsu, The Ricksaw Man. Plus any I haven’t found on Criterion.
As far as I’m concerned, your podcast gets a 10 in art/entertainment/knowledge excellence. Thank you!!!

What’s crazy to me is that you boys have been reviewing and discussing these movies almost simultaneously with my own Kurosawa-Quest, and I didn’t find you until you were almost done going through the catalo... more
