Season 6, Episode 14 (#166):

We begin by announcing the live stream of the podcast on Patreon for subscribers. This is a new direction for the pod and we encourage anyone who wants to support these episodes to join Jim's Patreon, where you can listen as we make the sausage, and get bonus materials (songs, novel chapters, and more). This podcast requires a great deal of editing and incurs costs relating to the software we use to record and stream, so your support is very much appreciated.

Lionel and Jim both watched Tokyo Story by Yasujirō Ozu, considered a perfect movie by film buffs. We react to it as amateur film watchers, from our own cultural perspective. We compare and contrast other films like Singing In the Rain, Citizen Caine, and others. Notable is the comparison with the film making of directors like Wim Wenders, and the inspiration he must have drawn from this film. Lionel did not see Tokyo Twilight, but Jim did, and offers his reaction. Late in the podcast we mention a poem by W.H. Auden and compare that sentiment with the final scene in the film.
