Natsu Banzuke & Sumo Cinema

The May 2022 Grand Sumo Tournament is almost upon us! In this episode we take a look at the Natsu banzuke, try to make sense of why various rikishi were moved up or down the ranks, and indulge our wicked fantasies. We also show a little love for the winners of the 2022 US Sumo National Championships, and then get all riled up about some fascist jerks in the 1920s who wouldn't just let girls do sumo in the movie 'The Chrysanthemum and the Guillotine.'"  Toss some coin into our tip bucket: https://ko-fi.com/sumopunx Find us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/PunxSumo Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sumopunx/ Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/SumoPunx/    YouTube: https://youtu.be/ZSJfEMaD2Jk Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0TZO9Bszi3voDkVwO9jhDf?si=a691ab22d5ed49b2 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sumo-punx/id1615858347 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy84MjIxNzQyNC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/B09VZVR5DX?source_code=ASSOR150021221000N Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/5464c866-ca0c-487e-a2cd-f63965df6823/sumo-punx Beginning and ending theme songs by Crime Coven.
