Tokyo Drifter (1966)

While the release date fate of #F9 remains in limbo, the Tokyo
Drift lap marches on with the appropriately-named Tokyo Drifter!
Before we tussle with the yakuza, we catch up on the mailbag and
begin our minute-by-minute breakdown of the Turbo Charged Prelude
to 2 Fast 2 Furious, which yields far more detail than you may
think. Then, we welcome back our new resident yakuza expert,
Garrett Smith (I Like to Movie Movie, Moviejawn), to talk about all
things Tokyo Drifter! We talk about the movie's beautiful visuals,
semi-incomprehensible story, and how each of those serves the
other. We also talk about Tokyo Drifter's influence on modern
filmmakers (like Quentin Tarantino), the wonder of weird/genre
films, the apparent benefits of being in the yakuza, and the
dangers of blind loyalty. (Movie conversation begins around 43:00.)
