With the inspiration of Kurosawa, the progenitor of Akira, and enough gore to fill a slasher flick, this week the guys tackle an inspirational movie that marries edo period samurai with body horror. The 1993 essential film known as Ninja Scroll. This is a movie that came out on MTV right after edgy original Aeon Flux to keep young insomniacs awake at night, does it still hold up? Are the graphics any good? Is there a person with worse luck than Kagero? Why is the Bee ninja the creepiest one? We try to find out all this and more as we cure poison with love making.

On this special Thanksgiving episode, Box Office Pastries treats you to an expertly crafted culinary experience that will leave your earbuds raving! We welcome to our kitchen guest sous-chef Sarah Stubbs of Geeks Who Eat, who has prepared an appetizer of sinful cuisine confessions. Next comes the main course, a delightful desiccation of Mark Mylod's delectable horror debut, The Menu. Our love for this satire of class, pretention, and the disregard for labor is apparent in every savory bite -- and don't you dare ask for ketchup! Next up comes the dessert, as Sarah bakes a love letter to gastro-horror, a subgenre whose entries number in the hundreds, some of them even good! Finally, once you've finished we will provide a take-home box, colloquially known as a "dog's bag," filled with after-dinner discourse on the finer points of fine dining, and the poorer points of poor punmanship. Enjoy, and we implore you, take all you want, but please eat what you take.Take part in this taboo dish by listening now!Get 20% OFF MANSCAPED + Free Shipping with promo code BOXOFFICEPULP at MANSCAPED.com!Follow Sarah @SpookySarahSaysFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BoxOfficePulpPodcast/Twitter: https://twitter.com/BoxOfficePulpApple Podcasts: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/box-office-pulp/id577338641Amazon Podcasts: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/7c11ff8b-2875-454d-8770-8b1d36d04b52Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/534ZPRmDoZzNs5GtiAhOEcStitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=37192&refid=stpr

Tonight, in front of an audience of millions, the crew of Box Office Pulp will attempt something heretofore unseen on the internet! With nothing but a six-pack and our recording equipment, we are attempting to make content with "Ariel," a Midwestern cryptid known for appearing to strangers in the mist and recommending obscure found footage films. At great personal peril, we will attempt to record her feelings on the changes in technology the sub-genre has seen in recent years, the surprising appearance of found footage franchises, the many layers of reality a mockumentary can play with, why The Last Broadcast is best enjoyed by traveling back to the 2000's, and what is to be made of this "Art The Clown" business sweeping America. If this goes right, the podcasting world will never be the same! If not, we recorded a cool guest episode before being discovered in pieces.

Our fleeting return to reviewing Kurosawa's filmography includes the 1963 procedural drama.

In this episode of Life Matters, Brian Johnston gives a brief history of the Life Fest Film Festival which has been held in Hollywood, California for 12 years! This is the first of a special iteration of Life Fest which will be entirely visible from your home. All films and workshops, all breakout sessions will be available to you directly, and a special season pass is available for your viewing in the weeks after Thanksgiving.  The program contains interviews with Vanna White, Kevin Sorbo, Clint Howard and others.  This unique film festival allows aspiring filmmakers and ‘experienced hands' in the industry to present their work to film watchers around the world. In this episode, Brian gives a brief overview of his experience in the entertainment industry, and his teaching experience of both literature and film. This special online film festival is unique in the world and allows many of these international film makers an opportunity to reach an otherwise unreachable audience. Some Iranian filmmakers and those who have been cut off from free-speech rights have submitted films. Perhaps most importantly, the theme of this unique festival is that it honors films that underscore the significance of each individual life and in particular, the seemingly insignificant life.  It has brought a fresh hope to Hollywood and to the industry at large. Go to lifefilmfest.com for season tickets to this extraordinary life affirming entertainment venue.

In 1961, Akira Kurosawa reinvented the samurai film with Yojimbo... and Masaru Sato composed one of the most unforgettable scores in history, combining action, theatricality and satire into a bold new sound. Join creator Julian Mundy (StarTripper!!) as we discuss Sato's surprising inspiration for the score, Kurosawa's mastery of sound design, the jagged off-kilter nature of the film, and much, much more.

Os samurais, personagens amparados na filosofia da honra e lealdade, são importantes elementos da história do cinema japonês. Essa trajetória passa pelo filme Os Sete Samurais, de Kurosawa, em 54, e avança por outras obras que inspiraram até autores hollywoodianos, como George Lucas, inspirado por A Fortaleza Escondida, também de Kurosawa.

Darren had been referencing it, so Justin asked it if was just time to watch Kurosawa's Dreams and see if it lived up to Darren's vision of it. A movie composed of scenes from 8 dreams from the writer/director made one of us very happy. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100998/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_2

Getting back to our regular Film Club list, we watched Akira Kurosawa's 1957 Macbeth adaptation.

Fourty-four years ago, convicted murderer Michael Myers escaped from Smith Grove Sanitarium, and upon returning to his home town of Haddonfield, Illinois, committed five murders that would transform horror cinema forever. But those murders would also transform the town of Haddonfield, scarring its people with every new massacre, while an evil far more sinister than a man with a knife boiled beneath its surface. With Halloween Ends, David Gordon Green and co. wrap up both their sequel trilogy and the story of Laurie Strode with a movie nobody saw coming, and the horror community is having all kinds of feels about it. Join us as we discuss the good, bad, and weird of the most polarizing franchise movie since... the last big franchise movie, whether or not Michael is actually a car, and where the legend of The Shape can go when the corpse of this series is eventually unearthed to terrorize a new generation.Stop your local DJ by downloading here!Get 20% OFF MANSCAPED + Free Shipping with promo code BOXOFFICEPULP at MANSCAPED.com! #manscapedpodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BoxOfficePulpPodcast/Twitter: https://twitter.com/BoxOfficePulpApple Podcasts: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/box-office-pulp/id577338641Amazon Podcasts: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/7c11ff8b-2875-454d-8770-8b1d36d04b52Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/534ZPRmDoZzNs5GtiAhOEcStitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=37192&refid=stpr

From the Ki Ki Ki's to the Dance Macabres, scores have been an essential part of the horror landscape since the days of Nosferatu. So why is the composer so often overlooked when we share our love for these classics? On this episode we welcome to the show author and podcast host J. Blake Fichera, here to talk about his new book Scored To Death 2, his second round of interviews with the Masters Of Scorror (We're sorry, Blake). In a lovely chat, we pick his brain on the scores that influenced both him and Hollywood, the role of the score in all genres of filmmaking, and his desire to spotlight composers big and small, with everyone from John Carpenter to Jay Chattaway.Insert your CD of Haunted House sounds and listen here! Get 20% OFF @manscaped + Free Shipping with promo code BOXOFFICEPULP at MANSCAPED.com!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BoxOfficePulpPodcast/Twitter: https://twitter.com/BoxOfficePulpApple Podcasts: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/box-office-pulp/id577338641Amazon Podcasts: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/7c11ff8b-2875-454d-8770-8b1d36d04b52Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/534ZPRmDoZzNs5GtiAhOEcStitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=37192&refid=stpr

"Throne of Blood" (1957) Season 5, Episode 8 On this episode, Travis and Justin are once again joined by the incomparable Annie on a journey through Kurosawa's vision of a classic Shakespeare tale.

For this occasion, Nate is joined the Dapper Man himself, Kevin Joshua Burnham, who is a YouTuber, the co-host of The Bottom Shelf podcast, and a longtime fan of MIFV.

Spoiler warning: the Xiliens aren't anti-American symbols. Before the broadcast, Jimmy tells Nate he has something he needs to show in his garage after the show. Afterward, Jimmy shows him the “museum piece” Cameron Winter bribed gifted him with: a Xilien saucer. But the big secret is what—or rather, who—is inside. Check out Kevin's YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/TheDapperMan) and The Bottom Shelf (https://geekdevotions.com/category/the-bottom-shelf/).

Just when you thought it was safe to walk the darkened streets of Italy with a bare throat, Dario Argento is BACK! And he's sporting gloved hands and a killer pair of DARK GLASSES. Which, of course, happens to be the name of his new movie in a very, very long time. Even longer if you don't want to count his last movie as a movie. But, thanks to Shudder, we get a chance to see the legend return to his simplistic giallo roots and ring in the month of October the right way.

Despite being a box office hit in Japan, Akira Kurosawa's first widescreen film is perhaps best known now as a direct inspiration on George Lucas as he created Star Wars. My guest today is cinematographer, visual effects artist, and known Star Wars nerd Nick Oberlander of the Bay Area, CA. Join us as we pick apart Kurosawa's big "popcorn flick" and see just how much of an "inspiration" the film was on a young Lucas. Not to mention a mutual admiration of Toshiro Mifune's winning smile.

Everybody loves Akira Kurosawa's samurai films, but his films set in current day Japan also rank as some of the greatest movies ever made. This time Eric, Dom and Jason discuss two of Kurosawa's darkest, most noir films: Stray Dog and The Bad Sleep Well. The trio find these films to be fascinating, amazing works of cinematic art definitely deserving a 90 minute discussion time.

Josh and Leia are joined by Bear and Jennifer from Graphically Novel and return guest Jason Taylor to explain Old Man Logan! A Kurosawa-esque post-apocalyptic romp with betrayal, tragedy and hillbilly inbred Hulks!

Mikey & Jeremy watch S3E4 "Slumber". They discuss Lionel's menacing member, Kurosawa collectibles, and R.E.M.'s greatest hits. 

We all consider the possibility our parents are vampires, but do we have the guts to actually go through with the staking? Mike ponders this question, along with pondering the fangerific (sorry) new horror movie from Argentina, A TASTE OF BLOOD, coming at us from writer-director  Santiago Fernandez Calvete and loosely based on A.K. Tolstoy's The Family Of The Vourdalak. With unique alterations on vampire mythology and an intimate story of paranoia and familial breakdowns, how does A TASTE OF BLOOD fit into the long and proud lineage of bloodsucker cinema?Download the episode before sundown and find out!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BoxOfficePulpPodcast/Twitter: https://twitter.com/BoxOfficePulpApple Podcasts: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/box-office-pulp/id577338641Amazon Podcasts: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/7c11ff8b-2875-454d-8770-8b1d36d04b52Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/534ZPRmDoZzNs5GtiAhOEcStitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=37192&refid=stpr

Hello, kaiju lovers! Today them Jaconetti boys, Luke and Jason, join Nate for the latest entry in “Godzilla Redux”: Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster. This was Toho's third kaiju film in the momentous year of 1964 and their second Godzilla film that year. As Luke puts it, it's The Avengers (2012) of Toho kaiju, where several monsters who debuted in solo films come together to face a common alien enemy. It's a momentous turning point for the franchise: Godzilla and Rodan have their “face turns,” and it's the first appearance of Godzilla's archnemesis, the three-headed golden space dragon himself, King Ghidorah. Get ready for a lively, nostalgic discussion riddled with pro-wrestling references! Before the broadcast, Nate is met by Jessica at his new mega-office. During their argument (what'd you expect?), Gary comes in along with a beautiful mystery woman, whom Jessica immediately hates. Later, Nate returns to his office where he argues with Jessica again, only for Gary to come begging for help—just as the mystery woman reveals herself to be a Bug Lady from the Church of Mothrianity! Check out all of Luke and Jason's podcast at Two True Freaks: https://twotruefreaks.com/podcast/. The prologue and epilogue, “Jessica has a Romantic Rival! The Vampiric Strike of Kalyptra!” was written by Nathan Marchand. Guest stars: Sarah Marchand as Jessica Shaw/Crystal Lady Kim Lacanilao as Mina/Kalyptra Damon Noyes as Gary Steward, Mimo, and Motte-Priester Herzog Jerry Nachtfalter Hoshiko as Luna Additional music: “Red Waltz” by djpretzel “King Ghidorah Theme” by Alyssa Charpentier “Chant My Name!” by Masaaki Endo “Transformation (Sailor Moon Remix)” by Vincent Lee “Mothra's Song” (from "Godzilla: King of the Monsters") by FalKKonE “A weird thing” by Chiro Sound effects sourced from Freesound.org, including those by InspectorJ.

Star Wars as a whole is built of many pieces borrowed from world mythology and cinema history. One of the most important influences on George Lucas' creation is the filmography of Akira Kurosawa, the famed Japanese director. Join me as I discuss how that galaxy far, far away was influenced by this great man. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Hey Bombers! Welcome back to another exciting episode of Not A Bomb. Normally, this is the podcast where we go back reexamine some of the biggest cinematic bombs of all time. This week, though, the guys pull the Hong Kong Clause which states that at any point the gang can discuss a Hong Kong film if they feel the need. The guys really really really wanted to discuss an underappreciated film from an underappreciated director. We are talking about 2004's Throw Down directed by Johnnie To, which is a personal film for To and is dedicated to the late Akira Kurosawa. Throw Down is one of the most challenging films discussed on the show. The film has so many levels and can be enjoyed as pure entertainment or as a zen parable. On top of listing all of their favorite Johnnie To films, Troy and Brad use this as an excuse to discuss Kurosawa and his debut film - Sanshiro Sugata. Timestamps; Intro - (2:26), Release Information - (10:11), Behind the Camera - (13:45), In Front of Camera - (34:40), Throw Down Discussion - (38:30), Is it a Bomb? - (68:16), Sanshiro Sugata Discussion - (69:24), Listener Feedback - (90:46), and Outro - (103:04)Throw Down is directed by Johnnie To and stars Louis Koo, Aaron Kwok, Cherrie Ying, and Tony Leung.If you want to leave feedback or suggest a movie bomb, please drop us a line at NotABombPod@gmail.com.

From the ashes of a Raimi-less Doctor Strange sequel from another multiverse comes Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill's exemplary adaptation of Joe Hill's THE BLACK PHONE, which gifts us a new horror icon in Ethan Hawke's THE GRABBER and some of the best child performances since IT! Cody and Mike ring up some ghosts themselves to dive into the 70s trappings, heady themes, the ways Derrickson and Cargill expand and improve the short tale, and for some reason debate whether or not the LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT remake should have included the chainsaw massacre or not.Pick up that damn phone, you naughty boy, and download the episode now!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BoxOfficePulpPodcast/Twitter: https://twitter.com/BoxOfficePulpApple Podcasts: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/box-office-pulp/id577338641Amazon Podcasts: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/7c11ff8b-2875-454d-8770-8b1d36d04b52Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/534ZPRmDoZzNs5GtiAhOEcStitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=37192&refid=stpr

A motorbike adorned with a zebu skull is one of the central images of Djibril Diop Mambéty's classic 1973 film, whose title translates as The Journey of the Hyena. Listed as one of the 100 greatest films of all time in the Sight and Sound magazine poll, it mixes West African oral traditions with influences from the French New Wave and Soviet cinema. Mory and Anta are two young people growing up in a newly independent Senegal who fantasise about leaving Dakar for a new life in France, but how can they realise those dreams and do they really want to leave? Matthew Sweet is joined by New Generation Thinker Sarah Jilani, Estrella Sendra Fernandez and Ashley Clark.

We're taking Peter to school.... film school. Of the four flickers Peter has missed out on some of the film school classics. Wells, Felini, and KURAOSAWA! In this episode the boys help Peter break down the finer points of Kurosawa's 1957 classic: "Throne of Blood".  The boys talk samurai, Shakespeare, and that weird stain on the floor of the set. Also Frank eats an entire meal, which... is infuriating.  Join us as we talk about Mifune's acting, and getting pin-cushioned by a million arrows! Subscribe and rate us wherever you found us!

The "Secrets" theme can be easy to miss, but not in minutes 101-105 of Solo: A Star Wars Story! The veil of secrecy is lifted as the "Secrets" motif cycles through a progression of revelatory chords leading to Crimson Dawn. This is one of Xanthe's favorite musical moments in the film. Alex Cunningham returns to the show to nerd out about it! Discussion Guide: 00:00 - Hello there! 03:14 - Visual preview of these minutes. 11:33 - What makes the buildup to the Crimson Dawn reveal so interesting? 14:56 - Same pitch collection as Enfys Nest theme. 17:29 - Is the instrumentation gendered? 20:57 - How the harmony contributes to the buildup and reveal (plus some sweet, sweet Major 7th action). 30:12 - Timbral interaction between bass singers and bass flute. 32:06 - Addressing the whole Augie's Municipal Band and Emperor's Theme thingy. 36:26 - Does Frank Lehman have a list of how many variants of a theme are present in each movie? 45:32 - The chords matter in the "Secrets" theme. Otherwise, it's just 3 notes that arguably sound like Jurassic Park. 51:09 - Brief "March of the Resistance" cameo. 54:45 - Enfys Nest's accent, British accents in Star Wars for women, especially women of color. 1:02:01 - Alden Ehrenreich's performance. 1:07:02 - "Secrets" theme 7x: Cycling through the chord progression. (C Major, A half diminished 7, E minor, C minor, A7, Eb Major, C Major) 1:17:00 - Kurosawa-esque sound design on Savareen. 1:27:03 - Qi'ra's intuition about Han + the classic moviemaking time trick. 1:30:24 - Different interpretations of the harp during Beckett's goodbye. 1:33:56 - A critique about the Millennium Falcon takeoff sound. 1:43:05 - SWMM Questionnaire Things to Check Out: SWMM Solo 17: Adagio for L3 (minutes 81-85 with Lacey Gilleran) - https://youtu.be/cV9LHk05w20 All the ways to Power-up the Millennium Falcon (Supercut) (Bruce Kenobi) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQyRLge-_-U Akira Kurosawa - Composing Movement (Every Frame a Painting) - https://youtu.be/doaQC-S8de8 Doctor Eleven from STATION ELEVEN (composed by Dan Romer) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lj9-hx4Pgzg Theme to GIRLS5EVA - https://youtu.be/baaSjb-Cihs Combat Archery (Wayward Wolf) - https://youtu.be/MkAYRh0tuKc?t=273 Complete Catalogue of the Musical Themes of Star Wars (by Frank Lehman): https://franklehman.com/starwars/.

A two-hander again, featuring Marc Cooper, as we watch the backdoor pilot for STARFLEET LEGAL in this LeVar Burton-directed banger. Worf is on trial, but not for all the good reasons (Iike being a bad friend, brother, dad...) but for being bad at captaining a starship (he blew up a civilian transport without hesitation). It's a pretty cool mashup of Kurosawa's Rashomon and Spike Lee's Clockers as various characters give their point of view direct-to-camera, including Dax's from... THE HOLODECK! Hosted by Marc Cooper and Jan Lefrancois-Gijzen Computer Voice provided by Verona Blue Music by "b o d y l i n e" available on Bandcamp

We started with a Kurosawa classic, but now we're jumping ahead to a film much later in his career. We're discussing Akira Kurosawa's Dreams! Does this have as much impact as some of his earlier films? Will the anthology format help or hinder it?! Tune in to find out!
