Lady Snowblood (1973)

On this week's episode Phillip is joined by the author of Japanese Cult Cinema: Films From the Second Golden Age Selected Essays & Reviews, Jennifer Upton. www.jennuptonwriter.com (GET HER BOOK!) Who better to discuss a Chambara-Revenge film like 1973's Lady Snowblood, than J.M. Upton. The two of them discuss Jennifer's background and being a writer. Phillip then gives out the general information for the movie and Jennifer throws in some facts and background throughout. It's then time to for Phillip to read Listener Opinions from Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Phillip and Jennifer then discuss all aspects of this very cool movie. Then they answer the question of whether they noticed anything Tarantino might have liked or used in a film, and this is by far the most referenced out of them all. They individually rate the movie 1 to 5 stars, 5 being the best. Time to see whether they would buy, rent, or get this movie for free. The two of them then go on tangents and talk about all kinds of movie related things. It's then time for the randomizer to pick the next movie that Phillip and his returning guest Dave Lizerbram will be discussing, and the movie is...Shanghai Joe AKA The Fighting Fists of Shanghai Joe (1973). So join us next week. Thanks for listening.
