Stand honorably with your sword drawn, or die like a dirty dog in the streets. Such is the way of the 13 Assassins. Our second foreign film excursion takes us into the political intrigues of the Tokugawa Shogunate, as we talk about one of N’s favorite films of all time:

13 Assassins.

We certainly had an awful lot to say about this one, and we had a lot of fun recording it. As always: There be spoilers!
