This is a preview of the bonus episode available on the $3.50 tier of our Patreon.

In the 16th Century, Japan was long into its Sengoku (Warring States) Period. With no legitimate Shogun to enforce the Emperor's Law across the land, the disperate feudal lords forged alliances and fought in bloody conflicts to seize the title of the military dictator of Japan. What this meant in reality for the everyday peasants toiling in the fields was that warring Samurai clans were constantly raiding your home, taking your shit and killing you. With constant war came constant lawlessness, so when Samurai weren't pillaging you, bandits were instead. Being a peasant fucking sucked.

One village of peasants know that it's only a matter of time before their next harvest and the bandits plaguing their lands will return. Will we give them everything we have and die, or fight them and die? Neither look like great solutions. Thankfully our wise old man in the village proposes a solution. Find a samurai who will defend our village. Will a proud Samurai defend them for nothing more than a few bowls of rice? A hungry one will.

Thankfully, they meet a wise sagely Samurai who is convinced to help defend them for the bandits. The problem? One Samurai cannot hope to take on 40 odd bandits and hope to live without extra hands. We need something more. We need numbers. We need a rag tag team of quirked up Samurai boys. We need...Seven Samurai! That's right, this is the classic Akira Kurosawa Samurai flic that everyone gushes over. I'll say personally (as Frosty) that Japan certainly had better directors then and since, but few broke the international scene and influenced particularly the Spaghetti Western like Kurosawa. If you've seen anything Samurai related from film, television, anime, or video games, you have seen the influence Kurosawa had on how we tend to imagine Japan's feudal warrior caste.

Also this movie is really misogynistic, like holy shit. This time period hated women. No, I don't mean the 16th Century, I mean the 1950s.
