Podcast appearances and mentions of Akira Kurosawa

www.castarolepod.com In this episode of Cast-A-Role, we dive deep into Akira Kurosawa's legendary 1954 epic, Seven Samurai — a cinematic masterpiece that redefined storytelling, action, and the ensemble cast formula. Join us as we break down the film's iconic characters, revolutionary directing techniques, and the lasting impact this samurai film has had on everything from The Magnificent Seven to Star Wars. We explore the themes of honor, sacrifice, and strategy that still resonate today, and discuss why Seven Samurai remains one of the greatest films of all time. Whether you're a die-hard fan of classic Japanese cinema, a filmmaker in the making, or just curious about what makes this movie a must-watch, this review is for you.

How much of a fortress can you really hide? Your Star Wars pals Dan, Kat, and Tony return to discuss Akira Kurosawa’s 1958 epic, The Hidden Fortress, a film which had a significant influence on George Lucas’s work. We discuss rich people buying the horse out from under you, the unquestionably most successful Fire Festival, and who exactly the three villains are. Dan Moren, Tony Sindelar and Kat Benesh.

Mentre Elon Musk si prepara a lanciare il suo partito e Donald Trump ha ricominciato il balletto dei dazi, nel mondo della finanza è stato coniata una nuova teoria: quella del Rashomon effect, che prende il nome da un film di Akira Kurosawa del 1950 in cui c'è un omicidio che viene analizzato da quattro punti di vista diversi. Ecco, sui mercati sta avvenendo il Rashomon effect: ognuno li interpreta con una visione diversa. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Total Massacre - Takashi Miike's 13 Assassins  Not a whole lot is better this week, so Mr. Chavez & I find ourselves digging deeper into an examination, coping, and understanding of Fascism, Cruelty, and Troubling Political Rule with this week's film, Takashi Miike's 2010 13 Assassins. Miike's vision is typically brutal, violent, and magnificent. 13 Assassins exceeds the critical constraints of your "Typical Action Film" with a look at Samurai Culture during the Edo Period (1603-1868 - in this case, 1844). With a strong debt to Akira Kurosawa and Seven Samurai, Miike's film is an action-packed drama that holds a mirror to society and the abuses of power seen throughout history. A fifteen year old film, set nearly 200 years in the past, 13 Assassins has a great deal to teach, if we are willing to learn.

In episode 17 of (Pop) Cultural Marxism, Ajay and Isi once again find themselves in the regrettable position of praising the Walt Disney Company. After chatting about recent cultural highlights (Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, a 40th anniversary screening of Kurosawa's Ran, and a Criterion retrospective on Johnnie To), they consider the popular and critical success of Andor's second season, and ask what it means to describe a pop cultural text as “politically timely.” Their conversation turns to extratextual ecosystems (press junkets, interviews), Gilroy's deep engagement with cinematic depictions of fascism and rebellion (Army of Shadows, The Conformist), architecture and costume design, season 2 high points (the Ghorman Massacre, Mon Mothma's Senate speech), the politics of revolutionary alliances, and imperial bureaucracy. Finally, they consider how the show makes the transition—narratively, visually, musically—into the lore-dense timeline of Rogue One and A New Hope, and ponder its uncharacteristically fascistic final scene.

In this episode, we dive deep into Akira Kurosawa's The Bad Sleep Well (1960), a noir-inspired tale of corporate corruption and personal revenge. This searing indictment of postwar Japanese bureaucracy, and the moral ambiguity of its tragic protagonist, played by Toshiro Mifune.

Pesquisadores do Brasil, França, Estados Unidos e Japão se reuniram - presencialmente ou online - na Escola Normal Superior (ENS), em Lyon, no oeste da França, para discutir durante dois dias (24 e 25 de junho) as perspectivas históricas e estéticas do cinema realizado pela diáspora japonesa no Brasil. Patrícia Moribe, em Lyon As discussões sobre o cinema amarelo no Brasil foram permeadas por questões de preconceito, aculturamento, ancestralidade, pertencimento e construção de identidade. Presencialmente ou online, os participantes apresentaram aspectos históricos e discutiram a identidade nipo-brasileira forjada a partir de culturas e experiências geograficamente opostas. A chegada oficial do primeiro navio de imigrantes japoneses ao porto de Santos foi em 1908. A imigração nipônica foi fruto de um acordo entre os governos do Japão, que tinha em seu território uma crescente população carente, e do Brasil, que buscava alternativas de mão de obra barata após o fim da escravidão em 1888. Essa parte da história foi retratada pelo longa “Gaijin, Os Caminhos da Liberdade”, de Tizuka Yamazaki, prêmio da crítica internacional em Cannes, em 1980. A cineasta Olga Futemma, que coordenou a Cinemateca Brasileira por mais de 30 anos, também tratou dessa temática em seus curtas. O trabalho seminal das duas cineastas foi citado por vários participantes, principalmente na mesa dedicada às mulheres cineastas. Estima-se que dois milhões de japoneses e descendentes vivam no Brasil, representando a maior comunidade de chamados “nikkei” (japoneses) fora do Japão. Fenômeno dekassegui O encontro em Lyon discutiu também o retorno, a partir dos anos 1980, de parte dessa população ao Japão. Na época, o país atravessava um boom econômico e necessitava de mão de obra não qualificada. Uma das exigências do Japão era que o candidato a dekassegui tivesse antepassados japoneses. Esse fenômeno diminuiu nas últimas décadas, mas nunca foi interrompido. Hoje cerca de 200 mil brasileiros e descendentes vivem no Japão. Há imigrantes que ficam no Japão, que voltam para o Brasil, ou que fazem idas e voltas, como retrata o documentário “Bem-Vindos De Novo” (2021), de Marcos Yoshi, exibido no encontro em Lyon. "É um filme a respeito da história da minha família, do meu núcleo familiar, dos meus pais e das minhas irmãs. Meus pais decidiram ir para o Japão como dekasseguis em 1999. E por conta disso a família se separou. Os filhos ficaram no Brasil, meus pais foram para o Japão, a princípio para ficar 3 anos, e acabaram ficando uns 13 anos. E o filme é o retrato dessa experiência. Mas também é o momento em que meus pais voltam para o Brasil e a família se reencontra e a gente precisa lidar com os sentimentosos sentimentos e com as feridas que ficaram de certa forma abertas.” Alienação e solidão Marcos Yoshi, que também é pesquisador, apresentou em uma das mesas de discussão um outro lado da moeda do fenômeno dekassegui. Muitos brasileiros sofrem com a alienação e a solidão no Japão, acabando por desenvolver problemas psiquiátricos. Essa problemática é também tema do novo projeto de documentário de Yoshi, tendo a história de um tio paterno como fio condutor para falar dos dekassegui e as consequências desse retorno. Outro filme exibido no final do primeiro dia de discussões foi “Amarela”, de André Hayato Saito, selecionado pelo festival de Cannes de 2024. O curta trata da jovem Erika, fã de futebol, na época da final da Copa do Mundo de 1998, quando fica dividida entre o seu mundo carregado ainda de forte influência japonesa e a discriminação que sofre no dia a dia. O pesquisador Hugo Katsuo, da Universidade Federal Fluminense, destacou curtas realizados em Curitiba, dando uma outra perspectiva a uma produção geralmente centrada em São Paulo. O franco-japonês Tristan Chiffoleau, pesquisador no Japão, falou sobre o filme “Okinawa-Santos” (2020), que retrata um episódio pouco conhecido da expulsão de japoneses de Santos em 1943, sendo a maioria de origem okinawana, etnia marginalizada no Japão. Já Tomyo Costa Ito, da USP, falou sobre uma descoberta que realizou quando fazia parte do projeto Nitrato, da Cinemateca Brasileira, de arquivamento e preservação de filmes. “É um filme de 1950 em que os melhores nadadores da época, que eram japoneses, vieram para o Brasil e participaram de um tour visitando cidades por São Paulo com comunidades japonesas. O filme também traz esses elementos de uma certa propaganda do desenvolvimento do Estado. Na época, os governantes estavam preocupados em transmitir uma imagem de São Paulo como um o lugar de modernidade e de desenvolvimento dentro do Brasil”. Com estética dos cinejornais da época, o material está montado e narrado, mas, no entanto, não tem créditos, ou seja, ele é virtualmente anônimo. Para descobrir pistas, Ito foi atrás de fontes como jornais da época, mas relata que a pesquisa foi um grande desafio. O Brasil como utopia Alexandre Nakahara, da USP, em participação online, apresentou filmes japoneses que tratavam do Brasil como uma utopia, o sonho do Eldorado. Entre eles, “Viver no Medo” (1955), de Akira Kurosawa, sobre o dono de uma fábrica no Japão que, abalado pelo medo de um ataque nuclear, planeja se mudar com toda a família para a segurança de uma fazenda no Brasil. Os pesquisadores apresentaram também filmes que evocavam o Brasil dos dekasseguis ou o Japão dos imigrantes, realizados por japoneses, brasileiros e franceses. O colóquio do Japão ao Brasil e vice versa, perspectivas históricas e estéticas de um cinema de diáspora, foi organizado pelos doutorandos Romane Carrière, Emmanuel Dayre e Lucie Ryzdzek.

With the exception of those of us who no longer welcome birthdays, most people love anniversaries. But when it comes to movies, anniversaries give us the opportunity to remember great cinema and the directors who make it. On this week's show, Dan Webster, Nathan Weinbender, and Mary Pat Treuthart discuss two such directors, Akira Kurosawa, whose film “Ran” is enjoying the 40th anniversary of its release this month, and Steven Spielberg, whose 1975 film “Jaws” is celebrating its 50th anniversary.

This week, Elliot and Kiriko dive into the legendary world of Akira Kurosawa—Japan's master filmmaker and, let's be honest, probably your favorite director's favorite director. From samurai epics like Seven Samurai and Rashomon to powerful character dramas like Ikiru and High and Low, Kurosawa knew how to tell a story that hits you in the heart and keeps you on the edge of your seat.They unpack the big questions his films tackle—truth, justice, mortality—and connect the dots between Kurosawa's personal life and the unforgettable worlds he brought to the screen. Whether you're a longtime fan or just Kurosawa-curious, this episode is a love letter to one of cinema's all-time greats—and a reminder that great storytelling never goes out of style.Get tickets to The Films of Kurosawa @ LAB111

We're going on vacation through the world of classic film! Yes, International Month is back. But unless the previous two years, where we did two movies from different countries, we're spending June in one country with a single director: Akira Kurosawa. TCM host and author of the new book TCM Imports: Timeless Favorites and Hidden Gems of World Cinema, Alicia Malone, joins us to kick things off with a look at one of several Kurosawa movies dubbed the best movie of all time. It's 1954's Seven Samurai. Kristen, Emily and Alicia explore the samurai genre, discuss this movie's influence on our conception of the American West, and thirst over Toshiro Mifune.

En el episodio de esta semana tenemos un gran clásico del western como es “Raíces profundas”, la película que el American Film Institute sitúa en el puesto número 3 de los 100 mejores westerns de la historia. También una película épica japonesa, “Ran” de Akira Kurosawa. Hasta que hizo “Ran” cuando le preguntaban al maestro japonés cuál de todas las suyas era su película favorita siempre contestaba “la siguiente”. Después de rodarla ya nunca más fue ambiguo y siempre decía: “Ran”. Hemos charlado con la cantante Christina Rosenvinge sobre su faceta de compositora de música de cine, ya que acaba de debutar en el género con la banda sonora de la película “Hombres íntegros”. Y vamos a recordar también que hace 20 años fallecía Anne Bancroft, una actriz que la mayoría de la gente recuerda por su personaje de Señora Robinson en “El graduado” pero que, como veréis en el reportaje que hemos preparado, fue mucho más que eso.

The boys head to Japan this week to discuss Akira Kurosawa's “Yojimbo”. Starring Toshiro Mifune, the film is considered one of the most influential movies of all time. It's so influential that an entire series of westerns ripped it off so good they couldn't be released in the US for years due to threats of lawsuits. Anyway, this film is awesome, but did the boys think it stands up to the other Kurosawa greats? Grab a beer and tune in!  Our phone number is 646-484-9298.

Welcome to another bonus episode in a series we are calling "Pilot Season". We are currently trying out some ideas for our brand new Patreon, so consider these bonus episodes as proof-of-concept ideas we are currently trying out for exclusive Patreon content in the future. This go-around is called Movie Blind Spots. Each of us made a list of movies we hadn't seen before that we felt like we should have, spun a wheel, and let the fates decide three movies that would be watching this week. We start with Anthony's choice, the Akira Kurosawa crime drama, High and Low. Dan follows it up with his assignment, the comedy classic This is Spinal Tap. We finish off our discussion with Mark's pick, the sci-fi epic Interstellar from director Christopher Nolan. Let us know what you think of this concept and if you would like to hear us talk about good movies in the future. The Patreon page is now live and you can check it out at Patreon.com/TCTAMPod.Find us on Bluesky, Instagram, and Threads @TCTAMPod and on TikTok @theycalledthisamovie.Our theme music was written and performed by Dave Katusa. He can be found on Instagram @dkat_productions.

Your boys are back with some poetic cinema this week! First up, Sean discusses some live pro wrestling he witnessed and Parker discusses the old TV shows he's finally watching. Then, the guys watch a vicious Japanese death match and do a live commentary for it. Will either one throw up from intense gore? Then, it's more Japanese blood as the guys review Akira Kurosawa's "Throne of Blood," which is based on Shakespeare's "Macbeth." A samurai (Toshiro Mifune) meets a witch that tells him he will become powerful, leading him to seek power. Does he go too far? Direct Donloyd Here After this episode, be sure to go to patreon.com/junkfooddinner and sign up to listen to literally hundreds of hours of bonus episodes!

For Ryan's 1952 selection the guys review Akira Kurosawa's Ikiru. A dying man has a chance to do something meaningful with the last months of his life in this film, but did we find it enjoyable in 2025? Come back next week as we begin our Final Destination series with the original film leading up to the new film, Final Destination: Bloodlines!

Foreign Film Month is officially underway at The WatchTower Film Podcast! And what better way to start than with Akira Kurosawa's legendary Seven Samurai? In this episode, we dive into the film's groundbreaking storytelling, unforgettable characters, and why it still slaps 70 years later. We talk samurai code, rain-soaked battles, and how this epic set the stage for modern cinema—all while having way too much fun with it. Grab your subtitles and swords—it's gonna be a good one.

We're back with Brendan's 1990 pick, Wild at Heart. Conor's love for Nic Cage and Brendan and Ryan's love for David Lynch crosses over here in a big way, but does the movie hold up thirty five years later? We'll be back next week with Ryan's 1952 selection, Ikiru by Akira Kurosawa. Then, on to the Final Destination movies after that!

Welcome back to the show! For our season 11 premiere we are discussing Akira Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress. Listen as we breakdown this surprisingly light hearted adventure following two peasants, a general, and a princess fight their way through the enemy to their sanctuary. Enjoy!

"Some say life is hard, but that is just talk. It is good to be alive, it is exciting!" For Episode 352, Brandon and David are joined by Marcus Patterson to discuss Akira Kurosawa's Dreams. Marcus is a talented director of photography who worked on the recent Sundance film, SUNFISH (& OTHER STORIES ON GREEN LAKE), which was also an anthology film. David and Brandon talk with Marcus about his work on the anthology film, and he brings some context to the month on the elements of creating one. The trio also dives into Kurosawa's Dreams and his early upbringing in Japan. Listen as they discuss how Kurosawa's traumas affected the film, which Hollywood A-listers stepped in to help make the film, and how the creative team was able to mix practical and visual effects to create Kurosawa's fantasy world.  Also, don't forget to join our Patreon for more exclusive content: Opening Banter - Watching Movies with Family -  (00:00:10) Introducing Marcus Patterson (00:04:38)  Recap of the Anthology Genre (00:07:48) Talking “Sunfish (& Other Stories on Green Lake)” -(00:08:57) Intro to Dreams (00:25:02) How Dreams Got to Production (00:29:20) Favorite Scenes (00:42:56) On Set Life - (01:22:14) Aftermath: Release and Legacy (01:32:12) What Worked and What Didn't (01:34:12) Film Facts (01:39:47) Awards (01:40:03) Final Questions on the Movie (01:45:14) Final Questions on the Genre (01:50:33) Wrapping Up the Episode (01:57:41) Contact Us: Facebook: @cinenation Instagram: @cinenationpodcast Twitter/X: @CineNationPod TikTok: @cinenation Letterboxd: CineNation Podcast

We're getting really bloody this week as we take a trip to feudal Japan for the 1972 samurai movie that set the pace for violent sword fighting movies to follow. This is not your father's samurai movie. This is not Akira Kurosawa. This is Kenji Misumi's epic starring Tomisaburo Wakyama and his wonderful, weapon-laden baby cart.Adapted from the extremely popular manga by Kazuo Koike, Lone Wolf and Cub tells the story of wandering assassin, Ogami Itto and his son, Daigoro as they walk the demon way in hell. The evil daimyo, Yagyu Retsudo wants them dead but it's going to take an army if they intend to get the job done.Utterly ridiculous and bloody, Sword of Vengeance sets the tone for the five movies that follow and is a tremendously enjoyable movie. Let us tell you all about it.Support Bring Me The Axe on Patreon!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/c/bringmetheaxepod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Bring Me The Axe merch here:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.bonfire.com/store/bring-me-the-axe-podcast/⁠

Todo director tiene una etapa de su vida creativa de plenitud, en la que parece que cada película le sale perfecta. En el caso de Akira Kurosawa esa etapa cubre prácticamente toda su carrera.

You may know Scott Derrickson as one of the best genre directors around, thanks to “The Black Phone,” “Doctor Strange,” and “Sinister”; what you might not know is that he's a literal Akira Kurosawa scholar. So this week, he joins us to discuss one of the master's most influential films, “Rashomon” — as well as Scott's new movie “The Gorge,” which is out Friday on Apple TV+.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/one-heat-minute-productions/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
