After a long unplanned hiatus, the Arts Union Science podcast returns with a look into the 2003 \u201chistorical\u201d epic: The Last Samurai. Join your corresponding author (Tyler D. R. Vance) and our returning first author (Sean W. Phippen) as they tackle the complexities of a well-crafted film built upon a shaky, problematic foundation. Along the way, they\u2019ll pour on the praise for Ken Watanabe\u2019s performance, outline the necessary components of a good Big Battle Scene, and accidentally remember that The Rise of Skywalker was a thing.
