Rashomon (1950), The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)

The pairings keep getting stranger and stranger every week, and
this week's show is no exception! Special guest Ryan Oliver joins
Sam and Jon to tackle two very different classics, starting with
Akira Kurosawa's massively influential 1950 arthouse classic
Rashomon. We discuss everything from our differing experiences
with the film, how multiple viewings have yielded different
interpretations, and why the film has remained so meaningful even
after 70 years. After that, we take a huge left turn toward
Transylvania to examine the legacy and power of Jim Sharman's
1975 genre-defining cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show,
which one of us doesn't like! It's another collection of varied
experiences complete with a litany of recommendations to go along
with both films!
