This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve are back in force to discuss 2003's The Last Samurai, a film that's like a meditation on honor, respect, and the fine art of not getting your head lopped off. Think of it as a cultural exchange program where the curriculum includes swordplay and soul-searching.
Join us as we discuss how the film attempts to contain the twin dragons of Tom Cruise's Nathan Algren and Kats -"Don't Call Me Mats" - umoto played masterfully by Ken Watanabe, the age old magic movie trope of overcoming substance addiction overnight, and finally we'll recognize Tony Goldwyn as perhaps one of the best underrated movie villains of all time?
The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, dare to look inward and overcome our self-loathing to explore themes of cultural assimilation, honor, and the time tested clash between tradition and modernity - time is a flat circle, etc.
This is a very good conversation.
Let's wax this honor-bound porpoise.
