Film A Week ends Masters of Cinema month with a true master of the medium: Akira Kurosawa. Serg and Patrick take a look at his classic 1961 film “Yojimbo” for our second dive into Criterion this month. Listen as we discuss Toshiro Mifune, great adaptations and the legacy Kurosawa left behind.

"Because making something disappear isn't enough; you have to bring it back. That's why every magic trick has a third act, the hardest part, the part we call "The Prestige."

Abracadabra. Serg and Patrick see a magical rivalry as only Christopher Nolan could tell it in “The Prestige.”Listen as they talk up the modern cinema auteur in this tale of illusions, betrayal, notebook reading, clones, wonderful cinematography and a splash of David Bowie.
