    Ikiru (1952)

    We're back with a light and fun episode about cancer, bureaucracy, and the desperate search for meaning. I'm pretty sure we're gonna find it at the bottom of this next bottle of whisky, stomach pains be damned.

    Late Spring (1949)

    We're not recording episodes as often as we used to, but Dixon saw this 1949 masterpiece from the great Yasujiro Ozu and just had to talk to somebody about it.  Ryan and John come along for the ride and attempt to place Ozu in the broader context of post-war and modern day Japanese cinema. Have you seen Late Spring or other Ozu films? Let us know what you thought. Check our podcast page for ways to engage with us on social media. https://theafterpod.transistor.fm
