S5E6 - The Sword of the Beast (with guest Jack Eason)

Hello everyone, 

In this episode of Heroic Purgatory, John, Jason, and invited guest Jack (Optimism Vaccine) discuss Hideo Gosha's 1965 chanbara film, The Sword of the Beast. Far from a simple minded swash buckling flick, the film reflects the anxieties, tensions, and complex politics of the time by deconstructing the faux nobility of a past era. 

We hope you enjoy our discussion. Also make sure to check out Jack Eason (https://bsky.app/profile/jackeason.bsky.social) and his podcast, Optimism Vaccine (https://www.optimismvaccine.com/)
