This episode we discussed the 1985 Japanese Comedy/Western with writer/director Jacob Davison. You may know him from his short film work - I have spoken about his film, Ei8ht on my TikTok short film reviews - or from his two podcasts: Eye on Horror with iHorror.com and The Hallow-Rewind Podcast. While he never specifically avoided the film, Tampopo, he was never really drawn into seeing it. I’m so glad that he didn't because this allowed me to have a wonderful conversation with him about the role that food plays in this slice of life film that is full of whimsy, absurdity, sex, food, gangsters, truckers, fights, and so much more! TRIGGER WARNING SCENE: Skip 59:50 to 1:00:30 if you don't want to see a graphic depiction of a turtle having its throat slit.
