This week we’re putting a team together, saving some farmers and falling in love, all while discussing Akira Kurasawa’s masterpiece ‘Seven Samurai’.

Seven Samurai (Japanese: 七人の侍 Hepburn: Shichinin no Samurai) is a 1954 Japanese epic samurai drama film co-written, edited, and directed by Akira Kurosawa. The story takes place in 1586 during the Sengoku period of Japanese history. It follows the story of a village of farmers that hire seven rōnin (masterless samurai) to combat bandits who will return after the harvest to steal their crops.
