Show Notes
a wee warning for you, the first part of this podcast we had some technical difficulties where Bradley was unavailable for about 15 minutes while he was working on some connectivity issues, we decided to leave that portion intact, we thought it was worthwhile :-) This is an all-new format we are experimenting with, where we will pull a topic (director, country, year, genre, etc.) and ask each guest to come up with one title that we all watch. This episode we ask our guests John Cribbs and Christopher Funderburg of the great 'The Pink Smoke' website and podcast to give us one title from Japan, Dan and Bradley also join in with a selection of their own. Here are the selections along with the letterboxd link: John Cribbs: Memories (1995) directed by Katsuhiro Otomo , Koji Morimoto and Tensai Okamura Christopher Funderburg: Flunky Work Hard (1931) directed by Mikio Naruse Dan Pullen: Big Man Japan (2007) directed by Hitoshi Matsumoto Bradley J Kornish: Lunch Box (2004) directed by Shinji Imaoka John Cribbs is on X and Letterboxd Christopher Funderburg is on X and IMDB (Producer, Writer, Director) Dan Pullen is on X, Letterboxd and Bluesky Bradley J Kornish is on X, Letterboxd and Bluesky The Pink Smoke Website The Pink Smoke Podcast The Pink Smoke Patreon The Pink Smoke on X
