Tampopo (1985) - The Greatest Food Story Ever Told


Listen Later

Episode 15 looks at Juzo Itami's 1985 masterpiece, Tampopo. Billed as a "Ramen Western", it's a parody of the Spaghetti Westerns of the 1960s. Tampopo also happens to be one of the best food movies of all time. We also talk about love, sex, and conformity in 80s Japan.
