Episode 131 - Your bags are packed, but hopefully you packed a proper sword, because this week we dive into a couple of classic samurai films with Harakiri (1962) and the required supplemental Samurai Rebellion (1967). You won't want to miss this episode since one of these films joins the elite MRAC Honors society which has been given to only two other films that we all unanimously rated it a minimum of 10/10. Which one is it? Tune in to find out. Also tune in to hear a very special guest and fellow Japan enthusiast, Ettore San, coming at us live from Japan. If you enjoy hearing Marco nerd out on Japanese history then you are in luck because he has a partner in crime for this one. And tune in next week for Sansho the Bailiff (1954) email us at mracfilmclub@gmail.com
