While Ronald Reagan is elected President in the United States, we look to Japan where master filmmaker Akira Kurosawa rekindles his career with Kagemusha. Arthur and Andrew geek out and profess their love for all things Kurosawa, his use of color, and his attention to historical details. Find out how George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola got involved in this film's production. In our Patreon episode, we talk about our favorite and least favorite movies from Kurosawa's career and Arthur confronts the idea that Kurosawa actually did make bad films.
