Shinoda-cast: A Journey into Folkloric Strangeness with "Under the Blossoming Cherry Trees", "Himiko" and "Demon Pond"

Published: April 17, 2023, 1 p.m.

Eric and Jason are back looking at the cinematic work of Masahiro Shinoda with a look at three of his most mysterious and beautiful films, Under the Blossoming Cherry Trees, Himiko and Demon Pond. These complex dives into Japanese history provide the guys with fertile ground to discuss the role of nature in the Japanese tradition, female independence, and the terror of mass murder along with much, much, much more. Really, dear listener, Shinoda's films are absolutely fascinating and we hope we tap into even a small amount of what makes them so terrific.
