Ep. 12: Branded to Kill

from Eiga Night Hosted by Chris & Aruba

Checking in from our quarantines, Aruba and Chris correct the mistake made by the Academy when they snubbed the legendary Joe Shishido (1933 - 2020) from their In Memoriam montage with a lively discussion of his best work as an actor, Suzuki Seijun's Branded to Kill (1967). We discuss his intense qualities as an actor, Suzuki's esoteric style and aestheticized use of violence, the film's more peculiar plot points, and how it's third act becomes a little too real in a COVID-19 world. This episode is dedicated to the memory of Joe Shishido. If you liked the episode, rate it wherever you get your podcasts and spread it around to help us grow. Wash your hands, stay indoors, all that good stuff/
