It's the new year, but Dave Babbitt (https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/24panelspersecond) & Ross May are keeping the party going by talking about the films of Akira Kurosawa! In 2024 we watched the first half of his filmography, and in 2025 we'll watch the second half.
Oh yeah, when talking about the movie Sanshiro Sugata, Ross got confused on ju-jitsu and judo. Judo was the newer martial art, created in the 1880s!

It’s the holidays! Ross and Dave Babbitt of the Films(trips) podcast spent the year watching every movie from Studio Ghibli! Listen to us talk about all of them, and why directors Miyazaki and Takahata are more problematic than just being the grumpy artists most people view them as.
Yes, Ross says “Princess Mononoke” incorrectly several times. Oops. He also says Hayao Miyazaki won the third animated feature film Oscar, when he actually won the second.

Join the family reunion for Twins, from 1988. After the lackluster Legal Eagles, can Ivan Reitman get his comedic groove back? Learn how important this movie was to Arnold Schwarzenegger's movie career, and how much of a focus family will be to Ivan Reitman moving forward.
-Meet Ivan's kids! Aren't they adorable? Can't you just see that kid Jason directing movies someday?
-Reitman's new musical maestro, Randy Edelman.
-Shaky science!
