Dom, Eric and Jason Look at Two Akira Kurosawa Classics, "Ran" and "Throne of Blood"

Published: Nov. 29, 2021, 2 p.m.

Akira Kurosawa is obviously one of the greatest filmmakers in history, but Jason hadn't seen many of the master's films. That begins to change this week as his friends Dominick Grace and Eric Hoffman join Jason for the first of a multi-part series exploring Kurosawa's classic. This week they discuss Ran and Throne of Blood, two loose Shakespeare adaptations moved to Japan. Ran is famously one of the most beautiful and bleakest films ever made, while Throne of Blood has one of the most famous endings in film history.

Whether you're a Kurosawa expert or still learning your way, we think this episode will give you a lot to think about.
