“Are you a ladies’ man, Bob?”

After a long unplanned hiatus, the Arts Union Science podcast returns with a look into the 2003 “historical” 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’ll pour on the praise for Ken Watanabe’s performance, outline the necessary components of a good Big Battle Scene, and accidentally remember that The Rise of Skywalker was a thing.

If you’d like to leave a review of our findings, feel free to email us at artsunionscience@gmail.com. You can tell us if you accept our findings, accept them with revisions, or outright reject them.

Join us for more episodes of the Arts Union Science Volume 6, releasing every two weeks (or so) on Spotify, Google Podcast, Apple Podcast, and more.
