Cannabis comic Ngaio Bealum is back and we are livin' the dream with a pair of movies about strivers who live their dreams, and their dreams are really friggin' weird. First, Nobuko Miyamoto is a single mom with dreams of making the greatest ramen in all of Japan and Tsutomu Yamazaki is the cowboy trucker who is going help her achieve her dream in TAMPOPO, a "ramen western" from director Juzo Itami in 1985. This movie is filled with surreal tangents, tasty-looking food and a fair amount of freaky sex! Describing the plot does not do it justice. It's also hilarious. One of Ngaio's all-time favorites, you'll definitely want the strain--and ramen--recommendations for this one. And then Don Knotts turns into a fish AND fights the Nazis in THE INCREDIBLE MR. LIMPET, a half-animated, half-live-action cross between "The Little Mermaid" and "Hogan's Heroes" from Warner Bros. "Why does Captain America have to be a fish," Ngaio asks, and there really isn't an explanation except that Don Knotts has "fish rizz" according to Philena. So glad Greg could make it for this one so he could talk about classic animators Bill Tytla and Robert McKimson who shaped the amazing cartoon sequences of this baffling maritime classic. We go a little long in the opening segment where we discuss the "fan" reaction to the new-look Shrek, the upcoming release of the animated THE DAY THE EARTH BLEW UP with Porky Pig and Daffy Duck, and Philena's culty new job + Bob finally saw THE SUBSTANCE!

Juzo Itami's “ramen western” TAMPOPO is… just a delight. The lines that separate class, sex, and generations are broken through the lens of food in vignettes that surround a sweet, satisfying A plot. The mundane and universal is elevated to indulgence through the presumption of taboo, with each character's indulgence – a meddling supermarket crone, a wealthy, browbeaten elder, a gangster's hedonist escape – building them as more human than caricature.

Theme: "Raindrops" by Huma-Huma/"No Smoking" PSA by John Waters. Closing music: "Sonata for Bassoon and Cello in B-Flat Major, K. 292-196c - III.

In unserer heutigen Episode trifft überlanger Kunstfilm auf humoristische Nudelsuppe. Wir schlagen Leos Carax' cineastisches Programmheft bühnenzentrierter Performanz auf, tauchen in die genrebeladene Ramen-Schüssel von Tampopo ein und bekommen mächtig Kohldampf bei Juzo Itamis genüsslichem Meisterwerk.

On our episode this week we're stirring up the largest bowl of Ramen with the Japanese classic "Tampopo"! Directed by Juzo Itami, "Tampopo" is a film that has been publicly called the very first "ramen western", a play on the famous term Spaghetti Western. But it's more than just a term for this film, as there is drama, comedy, and plenty of ramen! We discuss this and more on our episode this week! Plot: Two Japanese milk-truck drivers help a restaurant owner learn how to cook great noodles.

We hope that you're hungry for this week's episode because we're watching Juzo Itami's great cinematic love letter to ramen.  Even more than that, this fantastical narrative jumps between a dizzying array of comic vignettes exploring all things food.  It's a feast of good food, bad food, good manners, bad manners, high cuisine, and road side grub.   If you'd like to watch ahead for next week's film, we will be discussing and reviewing F.W. Murnau's The Last Laugh (1924).

It goes without saying that this is a big one for us.  Akira Kurosawa's classic tale of peasants-seek-samurai/samurai-get-crew-together/samurai-kill-bandits is both a highly influential titan in 20th-century cinema and perhaps one of the most defining films of the Criterion Collection.  But will our episode attain similar lofty heights among movie podcasts?  Well, Takashi Shimura is standing over there with the barest hint of a smile in his eyes giving us a single nod of approval.  So, yeah.  I think we did it. If you'd like to watch ahead for next week's film, we will be discussing and reviewing Juzo Itami's Tampopo (1985).

POP ART, WHERE I FIND THE POP CULTURE IN ART AND THE ART IN POP CULTURE: PUTTING THE FUN IN FUNERALS UPCOMING EPISODE (to be uploaded 11/26/21): “That's not my father”. It's fall. The leaves are dying. The plants are dying. The earth is dying. It's nothing but death, death, death. But is that going to get us down? Well, we shall see. Sounds like it's time for Episode 69 of Pop Art, the podcast where my guest chooses a movie from popular culture, and I'll select a film from the more art/classic/indie side of cinema with a connection to it. This time, I am happy to welcome back as my guest, film enthusiast, blogger, and host of the LAMBCast podcast Richard Kirkham, who has chosen as his selection the Frank Oz farce, Death at a Funeral, while I have chosen the perhaps more subtle, but no less effective Japanese film by Juzo Itami, The Funeral, two films that put the fun in funerals. And in this episode, we answer such questions as: What's so funny about funerals? Why did Juzo Itami make so few films? Where have I seen that actor before? Why was Japanese comedy so oxymoronic for such a long time? What is Frank Oz's best film? Who is Itami's brother-in-law? What are the here remakes of Death at a Funeral? Where does 55 Days at Peking and Lord Jim come in? What married couple play a married couple in what film? Who was Itami married to?

Content Warning: Suicide by falling We look at the life and works of famed director Juzo Itami, known for his humorous and wry social commentary on Japanese society. His death in 1997, however, still remains something of curiosity, and many continue to suspect foul play... Today's guest is Michael, aka HumanFilthXVX.

Juzo Itami's 1985 film Tampopo, about one woman's search for the perfect ramen recipe, has become so popular over the years that the restaurant industry around the world adopted it's name for many of it's own ramen and Japanese establishments.  The film teams the director with his real life wife Nobuko Miyamoto, along with Kurosawa regular Tsutomu Yamazaki and Ken Watanabe, who would go on to be one of the most bankable Japanese actors around the world. Dan and Vicky discuss the culinary comedy along with several recently seen items like Zach Snyder's Justice League, Tenet, Hunter, Hunter, What's New Pussycat?, The Irregulars, and the Obama/Springsteen podcast Renegades. We also give a shout out to listener Edward Karam and discuss Dan's dip into the world of FunikiJam.

Today's episode is a lesson in respect. Respect for your food. Respect for your work & Respect for yourself. Ølund and Martin take a good hard look at themselves after watching Juzo Itami's "Ramen Western" Tampopo.

1992's Minbo is a satire of Japanese criminals trying to strong-arm a hotel. It so angered the real yakuza that they mounted a direct assault on director Juzo Itami. Japanese cinema professor Patrick returns to the show in order to discuss the film's multiple layers and its clever subversiveness.

10 Jahre hat es gedauert, bis aus der Herzensangelegenheit des Schauspielers Masahiro Motoki (bekannt aus Takashi Miikes THE BIRD PEOPLE OF CHINA) der Film OKURIBITO von Yojiro Takita wurde. Es geht um Daigo Kobayashi, der seinen Job als Cellist in einem Orchester verliert und mit seiner Frau die Metropole Tokyo verlässt und zurückkehrt in seine Heimatstadt Yamagata. Dort findet er einen Job als Leichenwäscher. Zuerst fällt ihm die Arbeit sehr schwer, aber dann findet er Gefallen an diesem sozial geächteten Beruf. OKURIBITO hat 2008 den Oscar für den besten fremdsprachigen Film bekommen und ist unser vierter Beitrag zum #Japanuary2021. Der Originaltitel OKURIBITO ist ein zusammengesetztes Kunstwort und bedeutet „Eine Person, die andere verabschiedet/geleitet“. Das trifft die Funktion der Einsargung (japanisch „Nokan“) genau, die im Film mehrfach gezeigt wird: Es handelt sich um einen wichtigen Übergangsritus, der der Angehörigen hilft, den Verlust zu bewältigen und sich zu verabschieden. Daigo und sein Lehrmeister Shoei Sasaji (gespielt von Tsutomu Yamazaki), waschen den Körper des Verstorbenen vor den Augen der Angehörigen, ohne dass die Leiche dabei entblößt wird. Der Verstorbene wird in das Totengewand gekleidet und geschminkt. Im Film erleben die Männer als Nokansha (Bestatter) während der Zeremonie ganz unterschiedliche Reaktionen: vom friedlich-tröstlichen Abschied mit Kussmundlippenabdruck bis hin zu aufbrechenden Konflikten mit Rockerbanden. Das im Film gezeigte Ritual ist allerdings in Japan mittlerweile eher die Ausnahme. OKURIBITO ist ein Film der überwiegend leisen Töne mit einem sanften, trockenen Humor und berührenden, traurigen Szenen. Es ist auch ein Film über Aussöhnung zwischen den Generationen und auch zwischen den Eheleuten Daigo und Mika, die zwischenzeitlich getrennt sind, das sie ihren Mann durch den Beruf als „unrein“ empfindet. In der Tat spielt die rituelle Unreinheit (kegare) im Buddhismus eine wichtige Rolle. Aber Mika ändert ihre Einstellung, als sie bei der Zeremonie zusieht und erkennt mit welcher Ruhe, Hingabe und Sorgfalt Daigo den Verstorbenen und den Angehörigen einen ruhigen und würdevollen Übergang ermöglicht. OKURIBITO ist nicht der einzige Film, in dem Beerdigungen eine Rolle spielen: Auch in Ozus TOKYO MONOGATARI von 1953 ist eine Totenfeier zu sehen, aber vor allem in OSOSHIKI (The Funeral) von 1984, dem Debutfilm von Juzo Itami, den wir als Regisseur von TAMPOPO und DIE STEUEREINTREIBERIN kennen. In OSOSHIKI dreht sich alles um eine Bestattung, in deren Verlauf alle Familienprobleme sichtbar werden. Eine der Hauptrollen spielte 1984 Tsutomo Yamazaki, der in NOKAN den wortkargen Chef des Bestattungsunternehmens spielt. NOKAN-Regisseur Itami und vor allem Hauptdarsteller Motoki haben für den Film die Rituale und das Handwerk erlernt, Motoki hat sogar das Cello-Spielen gelernt. Über alle diese Themen und über öffentliche Badehäuser, Essen mit dem Chef, über „Stein-Briefe“, über Gesichtsverlust, dreieckige Häuser und eigene Trauererfahrungen sprechen Hendrik und Thomas in dieser einstündigen Episode.

In this episode we cover the heartwarming, strange and hilarious Tampopo (1985) directed by Juzo Itami and it’s absolutely essential viewing. …

Tampopo (タンポポ, Tanpopo, literally "dandelion") is a 1985 Japanese comedy film written and directed by Juzo Itami, and starring Tsutomu Yamazaki, Nobuko Miyamoto, Kōji Yakusho, and Ken Watanabe. The publicity for the film calls it the first "ramen western", a play on the term Spaghetti Western (films about the American Old West made by Italian production studios).

The boys are back in town with another explosive episode. We watched Juzo Itami's hilarious crime comedy, WOMAN IN WITNESS PROTECTION (1997). A gloriously goofy and original story about a famous actress who witnesses a murder and must now navigate herself through a world of fanatical death cults, bumbling policemen, and rascally media vultures! We also discuss Jon's newfound gambling habit, the nuance of Kelly Reichardt movies, and I even give an update regarding my broken side mirror! Enjoy.

[As Emacabras Também Comem Espaguete] Emma., da diretora estreante Autumn de Wilde, é a mais recente adaptação do último livro de Jane Austen. Em debate o filme, suas diferenças frente versões anteriores, e também suas Chances para o Oscar num ano tão indefinido. Macabro (35:59), do diretor Marcos Prado é a primeira estreia nacional no circuito de Drive-in. O filme resgata os crimes dos anos 90 que teriam sido cometidos pelos irmãos necrófilos, num misto de thriller psicológico com toques de terror. No Momento Belas Artes à la Carte o destaque fica para uma comédia dirigida por Juzo Itami, no Puxadinho alguns filmes que passaram pelos cinemas e chegam aos streamings agora, além do polonês Rede de Ódio. E o Puxadinho da Varanda com os comentários dos ouvintes sobre o episódio anterior. Bom Podcast!

For this week's episode Max picks one of the most beloved food movies ever, Juzo Itami's Tampopo, but not before depressing everyone with the stark early effort from Denis Villeneuve, Polytechnique. Christian lightens things up with Radio Days, a nostalgic look at childhood from everyone's favorite goofball Woody Allen, then gets even breezier with Divorce Italian Style, a fun spoof about murdering your wife because Italy has weird divorce laws.

Watch out crooks and scammers! The Toho Gang are joined by Ed from The One Piece Podcast to explore the world of tax evasion and investigation in Episode 46: A TAXING WOMAN!

This week, we talk arts news and peer into the brothy underbelly of Juzo Itami's ramen western "Tampopo," the next film in our Arkansas Times Film Series.

Ever tried yam infested boar intestine? Sounds heavenly right? Well Japanese director Juzo Itami might have a way to curb that desire. Tampopo is a one of a kind, genre-bending classic, and the only film the boys know to be categorized under “ramen western”. Mike “Big Sugar” Commins joins them on the cast today as they explore what makes Tampopo so perfect. Of course, the boys try to get Mike on the Ru Paul band wagon and admire an Anthony Hopkins life moment before jumping into the broth. Watch and listen! Original Music: Alan Loosbrock

Tampopo, Juzo Itami's "noodle western," came out in 1985, back when most Americans had never even heard of ramen. Join us for a discussion of this hilarious film as well as the history of ramen in Japan and the U.S.

This week's ‘palate cleanser', post-Batman, is the iconic Mike Myers vehicle (iconic, but unwatched for one of us!). We talk about the conventions with which the film is fairly obviously playing, touch on its meta-filmic nature, and think about the extent to which this is a genuinely funny comic film with very few jokes. This Week's Media TAMPOPO (1985): Juzo Itami, Tsutomu Yamazaki, Nobuko Miyamoto KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE (2014): Matthew Vaughn, Colin Firth, Samuel L.

Rob spends some time talking about Myers and camera angles; this gives more info on the details of this. This is the American TV series that required some Googling from us(!). And this is a good piece on some of the stories behind WW that we may not have had time to explore.

The Frasier Crane of Brain Eating Monsters Shame on us! This week we reveal the classic films that we haven't seen, and look forward to the future classics that you'll be too busy to catch at this year's Cannes Film Festival. After that it's two very different dishes in a gourmet Off The Shelf, with Frank Henenlotter's "Brain Damage" (which is best watched on an empty stomach), and Juzo Itami's "Tampopo" (you'll never look at eggs the same way again).
