After visiting the more obscure side of Japanese cinema in the last episode, this time we kick off a two-parter with one of the most well-regarded names that the country produced in the modern era – Takeshi Kitano. Or Beat Takeshi as he was known when he broke through.
Joined by Graham (POP SCREEN) & Ben (Cymreig Samurai), we talk about his international breakthrough, Hana- Bi (A.K.A. fireworks) and 1999’s light-hearted yet tragic comedy Kikujiro.
After touching upon Kitano’s eventful past and two incredibly touching movies, we chat about some other movies we have been watching. This includes more from Alejandro Jodorowsky, the newest entry into the Predator saga, Prey, and Nunsploitation. It’s a weird podcast, Directors Uncut.
