Back to Japan we go as the Crit Club watches the 2014 family drama from director Nobuhiko Obayashi Seven Weeks. This epic-length movie seeks to lay out everything from generational lessons in one family, the continuing fallout of postwar Japan, and old man meditations on dying. It’s really a whole lot. But what did we think? Well, you’ll have to listen to that hot, hot conversation.  Next week we’re staying in Japan with a Coire Pick! We’ll be watching Akira Kurosawa’s 1963 classic High and Low. Watch along with us! You can follow the whole of our podcast, aided by ⁠this helpful spreadsheet⁠ which documents all the scores we gave to the movies we have watched. And drop us a line! You can email us at [email protected] or find us on Instagram, Threads, or Bluesky with the handle @critclubpodcast. Crit Club's theme song and art were made by co-host ⁠⁠Peter Allen Clark⁠⁠.
