NOIRVEMBER: 'Stray Dog" (1949, Dir: Akira Kurosawa)

Listen to Corbin and, lesser degree, Matt, get all swoony over STRAY DOG, a police procedural by THE MASTER Akira Kurosawa. Topics include: soup, noir-and-not-noir elements at work, Kurosawa's enduring influence, and the heroic impulse vs. the rational impulse.  Corbin reccomends a movie currently in theaters. Matt reccomends "Tokyo Vice" on HBOMAX.  Next week's episode is about Le Jour Se Leve/Daybreak, which you will have to rent.  Matt: "Song at end: Himiko Kikuchi- Don't Be Stupid. Famous Japanese Jazz album apparently"
