In this episode the table crew discusses the multi-generational family crisis unfolding in Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Tokyo Sonata (2008). It's a film John saw in college, and he's bringing it to the table for Ryan and Dixon to help him process what he didn't have the words for all those years ago. Join us as we sift through the tragedy, comedy, and drama in search of what it all means (much as the characters do).
