JasonHOST
He, he, [laughs] he saw it as well.
JasonHOST
And we have, uh, famed director of Seven Samurai, High and Low, Yojimbo, Ron.
JasonHOST
We have-
Ed SmithHOST
Mm-hmm
IsaacHOST
...
IsaacHOST
this is like a, a Yojimbo and a Fistful of Dollars-
O'BrienHOST
Yeah, could be
IsaacHOST
... situation.
BradGUEST
Yeah.
BradGUEST
Yojimbo is a film I think I've seen I don't know how many times.
BradGUEST
And for some reason, the sequel, quote unquote, the sequel, I haven't really seen as much.
BradGUEST
And so it's been a long time.
Sophia RicciardiHOST
I'm a big fan of the Kurosawa samurai movies and beyond.
Sophia RicciardiHOST
But, you know.
Sophia RicciardiHOST
It's a basic answer, but who doesn't love Seven Samurai and Yojimbo? And I think Sandro is kind of the often forgotten sibling there, but it is an incredibly fun movie that I'm very excited to talk about.
Sophia RicciardiHOST
So I'm glad that you guys had the excuse, Troy, to bring it onto the show.
Ryan EllisHOST
And that's how he said it.
Ryan EllisHOST
Same with Yojimbo.
Ryan EllisHOST
He didn't say Yojimbo.
Ryan EllisHOST
I'd always put the emphasis on the gym.
Ryan EllisHOST
Maybe you had too, but I guess it's Yojimbo.
Ryan EllisHOST
I'll probably mess this up a few times with Sanjuro and Yojimbo, but we'll aim for Sanjuro and Yojimbo.
Ryan EllisHOST
In any case, I'll be doing my very best with the pronunciations.
Ryan EllisHOST
I'll probably mess it up.
Uncle PatchesHOST
Yes.
Uncle PatchesHOST
Like Yojimbo and Lone Wolf and Cub, which actually they spoof on Grogu and The Mandalorian.
Uncle PatchesHOST
Oh, yeah.
Uncle PatchesHOST
That's all Lone Wolf and Cub there.
Jakub FlaszHOST
You know,
Jakub FlaszHOST
well, I don't think I saw Last Man Standing, the Yojimbo.
Jakub FlaszHOST
No, that's definitely a Western.
Randy BurrowsHOST
Oh, yeah.
Dennis LinggHOST
Really? Yeah.
Mary JonesHOST
The great Japanese actor worked with Kurosawa, you know, star of Yojimbo and all that.
Mary JonesHOST
Yeah.
Dennis LinggHOST
Or any of the Seven Samurai.
John MillsHOST
You're right.
John MillsHOST
I mean, if anything, it calls to mind shades of Yojimbo, right? You're going in and the town sucks.
John MillsHOST
And, you know, is the guy going to, you know, make it out? Is he going to do the right thing? Is everything going to be OK at the end? But what I love is this turns it on its ear.
John MillsHOST
And this guy doesn't care about doing he cares about doing the thing that he's got to do.
Adam NightingaleHOST
It's essentially...
Adam NightingaleHOST
the unofficial basis for Yojimbo, because it's about a detective that comes into a town completely run by gangsters.
Adam NightingaleHOST
He's sent there to solve a murder, which he solves in about five minutes and then decides, and he's kind of given the brush off and he decides, no, I'm going to stick around because this town is absolutely vile and I'm going to make sure everyone wipes everyone out.
Adam NightingaleHOST
And so it's violent, it's episodic, It's sharp.
Rebecca FonsHOST
Okay.
Rebecca FonsHOST
It's not really a remake of anything, but its ties to Yojimbo are...
Jack NewellHOST
Right, so I'll spell that out a little bit more for the less cinematically hip people.
Jack NewellHOST
Fistful of Dollars, the first in the trilogy that Sergio Leone did with...
Jack NewellHOST
Clint Eastwood, a little film actor named Clint Eastwood, it's a remake of Yojimbo.
Jack NewellHOST
It's actually not kind of.
Jack NewellHOST
I believe that I think Toho sued Sergio Leone successfully because it was so clearly a ripoff, essentially, is what they would call it.
