Kenny and Del venture into new territory with their discussion and review of the legendary Japanese ronin film, YOJIMBO.

Released in 1961, YOJIMBO was an instant box office success.  YOJIMBO is the story of a wandering ronin (Samurai without a master) who came upon a small village plagued by two rival gangs.  The ronin assumed the name Sanjuro and plotted to pit the rival gangs against each other by offering his services as Yojimbo (bodyguard) to both gangs, earn some money, and free the town.   

This show is the beginning of the Brothers in Armchairs Podcast’s journey into Akira Kurosawa's filmography.  Kurosawa's YOJIMBO opened the western world to Japanese films and became the origin/inspiration for many film makers, novelists, comic book artists, and more.  For these reasons, the guys felt it imperative to pay tribute to this film through their usual discussion and breakdown.   

Listen to the show and let us know your thoughts about YOJIMBO.
