When a warlord divides his land among his three sons, chaos spreads as betrayal and regret lead to bloodshed.

Austin and Eric return to figure out exactly who kidnapped this child. They look into the film High and Low, which was Akira Kurosawa's adaptation of an American crime novel. They look at the intricate details of how they solve the case as well as examining the complexity of the villain. Also Toshiro Mifune doesn't scream this movie!

Austin and Eric are joined by Pedro Aubry from The Immortals podcast to discuss--POSSIBLY--one of the greatest films of all time. This is the heroic tale of seven samurai who are willing to risk their lives to save a small village from being robbed by bandits. This is a story that has been remade so many times, but how do those compare to the Kurosawa original?

This week they're looking at another one of Akira Kurosawa's beloved films, Ikiru, which is about a sad pencil-pusher who discovers he only has a few months left to live. The guys talk about why this film is so different for Kurosawa and how emotional this movie is to everyone who watches it.
