The lads are joined by writer, director, comic book artist and creator Christian Gossett.
Christian is on the show to champion the groundbreaking Akira Kurosawa film, Seven Samurai (1954). But first, because it's near the holidays, they discuss their favorite Christmas movies.
Christian got an early chance to design for the Star Wars universe Old Republic, and, as part of that process, created the double-bladed lightsaber. As he did this work, he did a deep dive into George Lucas's influences. One of those was Seven Samurai. The movie has had a huge influence on Christian's work.
Christian is more than a fan of Kurosawa -- he's deeply engaged with the director's process and history and is knowledgeable about both.
If you enjoy the Star Wars universe, the work of Kurosawa, and how those two worlds tie together, don't miss this episode!
