Ran

Adam and Brent discuss the penultimate Kurosawa movie of the season, his 1985 King Lear adaptation 'Ran'! They talk the jarring evolution into color, 27 year gap between films, and his cynical approach to the story, drawing comparisons to Scorsese's 'The Irishman' and Miyazaki's 'The Wind Rises'! They also once again dive into what makes comedies great and how Spongebob is maybe the best modern comedy? Thanks again for checking out the show! There are only 2 episodes left of Kurosawa and Lean, so get excited for those as well as the hard pivot we have planned next!
