TV & Film
This week, Liz and Evan flip over to the Criterion Channel to tackle Kaneto Shindo’s 1964 erotically-charged historical horror film Onibaba. Join them as they praise the taiko drumming and the influence of Noh theatre, try to unpack the unreconciled tension between styles and stories, and ruminate on how the brazen toplessness of the protagonists reveals interesting nuance.

Just like the war, this podcast may go on forever… but only if you rate, review, and subscribe wherever you can.
