Art. U. Sci. 6(6): Rashomon

Published: Sept. 19, 2022, 10:30 a.m.

“It's human nature to lie. Most of the time we can't even be honest with ourselves.”

The Arts Union Science Podcast returns with the final episode of Volume 6. Join your corresponding author (Tyler D. R. Vance) and this week’s first author (Phil Linden) as they attempt to unravel the truth within the lies of Rashomon, the Akira Kurosawa film from 1950. Along the way, they’ll gush about the beautifully thematic setting, ponder on what Rashomon has to say about a modern era where we can’t even agree on which way is up, and somehow spend ten whole minutes talking about King of the Hill . . . surprisingly, it is relevant.

“I don’t care if it’s a lie. As long as its entertaining.”
