Throne of Blood (1957)

On this week's episode we tackle the next phase of our Western cask with a look at a samurai film from acclaimed director, Akira Kurosawa, with Throne of Blood. Journey with us as we dissect his style of filmmaking and this adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth. Would this film be better in color? And how impressive is Spider Web Castle as a set? Our Flight is a conversation on which westerns would make good samurai films and we wrap with a Nightcap discussing our favorite Shakespeare film adaptations. So pour some Suntory, grab your witch prophecy, and get ready for the forest to move. Cheers!
