Akira Kurosawa. Ever heard of him? We kick off the final 5 episodes of Season 7: The Big Ones Part Two, with one of the pillars of cinema, Seven Samurai. We’re joined by Escape Hatch Kurosawa Korrespondent, MikeyP. And by Escape Hatch Projectionist, Silly Oswald. They provide all of the incredible behind the scenes details like the post-WW II American cinema review board that had to approve any movie made in Japan in 1954, Kurosawa's and his frequent collaborators' careers, Toshiro Mifune's good guy work ethic, and much much more.
