Director Showdown

Brent and Adam are back talking Kurasawa and his timeless masterpiece 'Seven Samurai'!

Show Notes

Adam and Brent are talking the 1954 classic 'Seven Samurai'! The fellas break down the structure of the movie, get into what makes Mifune's performance incredible, and the timeless place this movie holds in history, including the many projects it's influenced. It's one of the very best movies covered yet on Director Showdown (Brent had somehow never seen it) and it was an enlightening talk over a staple of modern cinema.

What is Director Showdown?

Director Showdown is an idea that came about after months of intense arguments between Brent Carroll and Adam Daufen about which famous director was better: Spielberg or Kubrick? From those arguments, season one was created. Each new season pits two new directors against each other, and every other week Adam and Brent get together to make their case - sometimes with help from guests.
