Podcasts TV Two for the Road: Movies with Matt and Adam 91: Yojimbo () (1961) and Sholay (1975)

91: Yojimbo () (1961) and Sholay (1975)

Published: Oct. 17, 2021, 7 p.m.

Actually, this is really a western is this weeks theme. Akira Kurosawa's "Yojimbo" (1961), is the film Sergio Leone based "For a Few Dollars More"\xa0 on. M & A both liked it, but Adam thought it dragged a little. It also lacked the signature Kurosawa shots that are so common in his films. "Sholay" (1975) is the show's first film from India and is considered a benchmark of Indian cinema, but the boys weren't prepared for a 3 + hour film that had every genre thrown in except horror and sci-fi. Both guys used the fast forward button a lot. Though the film does have some worthy moments, it could have been an hour and a half long.
