On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are joined by podcast favorite, Eimanne, to save a village from a rival gang. We all watched the 1961 film from Akira Kurosawa, Yojimbo.

Wandering the country looking for something to do? Have unparalleled sword fighting skills, but nowhere to use them? Willing to teach some bumbling villagers how to stand up for themselves?

If that describes you, then have we got a classic film that’ll change your life! Whenever a Kurosawa film comes up, you know it’s going to be a good time on the podcast, especially so when we’re joined by such a lively, passionate guest.
