We return to our regular schedule with a brand new double feature: this time centered on Japanese codes of honor and why, just maybe, they are no good. This week we discuss the #1 highest rated film on Letterboxd (as of June '24) and a totemic work of the samurai genre: HARAKIRI (1962). McKenzie also continue her Billy Wilder journey.
Thank you to dear friend of the show, Brandon, for his letter!
