Masaki Kobayashi)","description":"EPISODE #470-- We commemorate the glorious dead with the classic film HARAKIRI (or "Hara-kiri," depending on how particular you want to be), directed by none other than the firebrand Masaki Kobayashi. This is a classic Japanese film, a classic samurai movie, and one of the all-around important works of all of the 20th century. We also turned out a pretty good episode about it. We also briefly discuss BAHUBALI Parts 1 and 2 (2015 and 2017, dir. S.S. Rajamouli), SWORD OF DOOM (1966, dir. Kihachi Okamoto), PREDATOR: BADLANDS (2025, dir. Dan Trachtenberg), and MR. SCORSESE (2025, dir. Rebecca Miller). LINKS-- Join the cause at Patreon.com\/Quality.
