On this sequel to our episode on Yojimbo, Liam and George welcome back Jose Rodriguez to discuss Sanjuro (1962), directed by Akira Kurosawa and starring Toshiro Mifune, Tatsuya Nakadai, Keiju Kobayashi and Yūzō Kayama. Topics discussed: Roborat; explosive violence; pounds and pence; keeping your sword sheathed; Demolition Man; ronins with hearts of gold. Also, faxes! Remember those?!

Topics not discussed? Terfs! They suck.
