33. Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters + Silence

It's our second Marty Scorsese episode and our first ever look into the filmography of Paul Schrader, both New Yorky New Hollywood movie bros who collaborated on 'Taxi Driver' and have here made their own attempts at telling stories of religious agony and ecstasy in historical Japan. The only problem? Both 2016's 'Silence' and 1985's 'Mishima: A Life In Four Chapters' are reeeeeally good n engaging n maybe made Noah have a spiritual moment, so where are we gonna land ???We argue about the technical achievements of 'Mishima' versus 'Silence''s painful reckoning with religious integrity, as well as playing a stupid lil minigame that proves Anthony knows everything about music and that the rest of the team is WOEFULLY lacking in their knowledge of Aardman's 'Flushed Away'. absolutely shameful.TRIPLET IN THE ATTIC LINKS:Meg's fave Schrader eco-drama 'First Reformed': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_ReformedNoah's other missionary misery movie 'The Mission': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mission_(1986_film)Eliza's Kirsten Dunst harajuku appropriation music video 'Turning Japanese': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0X3CLJVMJUEMAIL: [email protected]: twinpicksFACEBOOK: @twinpickspodcastROUGH CUT: https://roughcutfilm.com/NEXT TIME: 'Clue' + 'Knives Out' Hosted on Acast.
