Ben is joined by frequent guest Odie Arbuckle to discuss Let Him Rest In Peace from director Yôichi Sai. Odie graciously spent hours reading the book the film is based off of in Japanese to help provide context to this episode. The discussion focuses on the similarities between Japanese and Westerns filmmaking, Okinawa, Japanese regional filmmaking, and the universal themes of the film. For the episode, Odie watched many films from the late Yôichi Sai—let him rest in peace!
Happy New Year to Odie in Japan, even though this is posting on New Year's Eve in America. Time zone shenanigans are fun. Cheers everyone! Here's to a blessed 2025 filled with more movie watching and all the other good things to come.
