This week on The Denouement Podcast, Josh and Mpona are looking at the final episode of GIRI/HAJI on Netflix.

On the one hand it’s a story about the Yakuza v London gangsters, gun battles and shady detectives. But it’s also about duty, shame, and the melancholy of the big city.

We get into how best to tell women’s stories in a masculine narrative, climactic structuring of a good finale, the joy or recognisable locations, and - of course - interpretive dance routines in noir thrillers.

Next time on the podcast we will be discussing Cardiff-set teen comedy-drama IN MY SKIN and we will be joined by special guest, fellow script editor Will Roach.
