French Guys and Samurai: 1-2, 306, 1057
Episode description
The epic journey begins. Anthony and Sean start their mission to complete the Criterion Collection by diving into four films with themes of honor in death, samurai code, and lonely guys killing dudes. This week is all about the boys as we talk about the very French The Grand Illusion, Kurosawa's renowned masterpiece Seven Samurai, and two very closely related films, Le Samourai and Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai. Topics include whether people pretend to like chess, what our catchphrases should be, Timothee Chalamet's acting heir (it's Sean), whether movie scores were good before the 70s, which of the seven samurai we are, and Ghost Dog vs. John Wick.
