Ep. 539: Tokyo Story (1953) — The Greatest Movies of All Time

Hello dear listeners! It is time for Anti-Trash 2024! And to justify the strict parameters of last month, I revealed this Anti-Trash marathon will have us looking at the best of the best. In fact, we're watching the four films that sit atop the Greatest Movies of All Time list from Sight and Sound. And we start with number four, the masterwork from Yosujirō Ozu, Tokyo Story. A new experience for Arthur and Dalton, we check in with this family drama about shifting expectations and generations in post-war Japan. Does it stand the test of time? Tune in now to find out!
