136: Horrors of War - Double Feature! 'The Wave' & 'Waltz with Bashir'

Okay, so these two movies don't have a LOT in common.  One is a fictionalized examination of how easily a movement like Fascism can take hold and one is an animated documentary following one soldier's attempts to remember what happened during a war.  

But both do show, in totally different ways, the horrors of war. 

Since this is not the easiest of subjects to talk about, naturally we handle it with grace and decorum....Okay that last part MAY not be true.

121: Samurai Madness-Double Feature! 'Sword of Doom' and 'Ran'

It's stunning that we somehow got to episode 121 without covering Samurai films.  Well, we finally decided to rectify this sad situation!

Lee brought "Sword of Doom," which sounds like the most awesome Samurai flick ever!  And Juan got Shakespearean on us with "Ran."  Check out the review!

113: Military Classics! - 'Seven Days in May' and 'The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp'

What does it say about our show when Juan picks a classic film from the 1960's in black and white, and Lee picks a film from the 1940's, but makes sure it's in color?

Not only that but they each not only picked a classic film, but a military classic. 

Let's take two very different looks at military service in cinema!

98 - "Flame and Citron" Sounds Like a Really Awful Drink...

...but it's actually a GREAT film.

After covering "Valhalla Rising" we got a TON of suggestions to cover other Mads Mikkelsen films, and out of all of them, this is the one Juan and Lee liked the best.

No surprise there as we're going back to World War 2!

92 - This week we say a eulogy at the "Grave of the Fireflies"

We don't cover enough animation on this show.

There I said it.

To help make up for that fact, this week we're covering one of the most culturally important films Japan has ever produced. 

A film largely heralded as one of the most effective anti-war films ever made.

Let's take a look!
