Our friend and samurai-film-fiend Donovan joins us to talk about Hideo Gosha's Three Outlaw Samurai (1964). This origin story for a long-running tv show that seems like it was Gosha's version of the A-Team plays like a more cynical version of a Kurosawa tale. It's also got some fantastic camera work thanks to Tadashi Sakai.
Quick, funny and with a strong central theme, Three Outlaw Samurai holds up. Read more at: https://scottsself-indulgentmovieblog.blogspot.com/

A The Last Jedi hatásai közül az utolsó az 1964-es Three Outlaw Samurai (Szabiki no szamuráj) című kalandfilm Gosa Hideó rendezőtől. A filmnek nemcsak a párbajtechnikái, de a karakterábrázolása is visszaköszönt számunka a Star Wars legutóbbi részéből. A Three Outlaw Samurai valójában egy tévésorozat előzményfilmje, de minket a sorozat ismeretének hiánya nem gátol abban, hogy megpróbáljuk megállapítani, mire akarhatott kilyukadni Gosa a nyakatekert történetvezetéssel. A három ronin közül melyik lopja be magát a szívünkbe, és hány karaktert keverünk össze minden jószándékunk ellenére? Sikerül a forgatókönyvnél is zavarosabban elmesélnünk a cselekményt? Áradozunk egy sort a kamerakezelési bravúrokról, leosztjuk a szerepeket egy képzeletbeli remake-hez, és arra is fény derül, milyen szégyenteljes okból kerüli el Gosa, hogy minduntalan Kuroszavával hasonlítsuk össze.

This week’s Force Material podcast is all about two-fisted tomfoolery and problematic poetry, as we break down why 1939’s Gunga Din is actually part of the Star Wars universe!This week’s Force Material podcast is all about two-fisted tomfoolery and problematic poetry, as we break down why 1939’s Gunga Din is actually part of the Star Wars universe!Oh, sure, it may not get Pablo Hidalgo’s official tick of approval - but we’re pretty sure Gunga Din is canon, and we explain why on this week’s episode!Our breakdown of the 1939 RKO classic marks the fourth entry in our series on director Rian Johnson’s ‘film camp’, the range of classic films Johnson required his cast and crew to watch before they began filming The Last Jedi.We discuss why the film could never be made today, its deep ties to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Lucasfilm lore, and the hints that it offers us about the events of The Last Jedi!The film also gives us an opportunity to dig into the origins of the Gungans, and the connection that Jar Jar Binks has with our very own hometown of Brisbane!We also give our takes on the recent announcements of an all-new trilogy of Star Wars films and a live-action Star Wars TV series!The Force Material podcast - come for the Star Wars analysis; stay for the surprisingly moving dramatic readings of 19th-century colonialist poetry.If you liked this episode, check out our earlier entries in the Film Camp series on Three Outlaw Samurai, To Catch A Thief and Twelve O’Clock High!The episode of DorkLair with the sweet Snoke theory that we reference in this week’s show can be found here.
Grab your s'mores, because we're off to Rian Johnson's film camp in the second episode of the Force Material podcast!Our weekly deep dive into the influences and inspirations behind the Star Wars saga continues with an examination of director Hideo Gosha's pulpy 1964 classic, Three Outlaw Samurai. This was one of a number of films that director Rian Johnson required the cast and crew of The Last Jedi to watch as part of his 'film camp' before production began. In the lead-up to December, we'll be discussing each of these films, breaking down what makes them special, and taking a few educated guesses at how they might influence The Last Jedi. This episode, we're taking a look at the cultural influences that have made Star Wars 'big in Japan'; how the swordplay of Three Outlaw Samurai could inspire all-in brawls with the Knights of Ren and the Praetorian Guard in The Last Jedi; why Obi-Wan's duel with Darth Vader in A New Hope is actually awesome; and whether or not the cynicism of Three Outlaw Samurai is compatible with Star Wars. Three Outlaw Samurai is available as part of the Criterion Collection here (but please note that, if you live outside North America, you'll need a multi-region Blu-Ray player to watch the film).

After a discussion for roughly the first 20 minutes where Jack mentions the latest Cinema-Con, where the National Association of Theater Owners (or, and don't laugh, NATO), get together with the studios for a trade/industry convention to check out what's going on with new movies (Jack and Andrew also briefly talk about the latest JUSTICE LEAGUE trailer), and in this discussion a major component being how studios may decide to go to a faster streaming/on-demand service system for new titles and what that means, WE TALK ABOUT MOVIES! Of course we do! That's all we do! That's all we'll ever do! We're movie Terminators, Kyle Reese! ... Sorry, went off on a tear there. The movies this week range from the classic and notorious when it comes to "campy" movies involving Bette Davis and Joan Crawford; a long-awaited follow-up to a cult Scottish dramedy; a documentary about... tickling (no really, but about much more); a King Kong remake-cum-tribute by Peter Jackson (and a 1970's King Kong knock-off that was distributed later by Quentin Tarantino!); Anne Hathaway also as a giant monster... sort of, not really, listen more about why; and a samurai movie from the 60's that may inspire the new Star Wars. Listen in! 1) Cinema Con Discussion (w/ JUSTICE LEAGUE reaction) 2) WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE? (1962) 3) MOMMIE DEAREST (1981) 4) KING KONG (2005) 5) THE MIGHTY PEKING MAN (1977) 6) COLOSSAL (2017) 7) TICKLED (2016) 8) T2: TRAINSPOTTING (2017) 9) THREE OUTLAW SAMURAI (1964) wagesofcinema@gmail.com CORRECTION TO MOMENT IN PODCAST: Ginger Hayden (from comment left in episode 77.2) - THANK YOU for your comment on Susan Hayward!
