Seven Samurai

Adam and Brent are talking the 1954 classic 'Seven Samurai'! The fellas break down the structure of the movie, get into what makes Mifune's performance incredible, and the timeless place this movie holds in history, including the many projects it's influenced. It's one of the very best movies covered yet on Director Showdown (Brent had somehow never seen it) and it was an enlightening talk over a staple of modern cinema.
