Episode #12 — Ikiru

Austin and Eric are back to think about what it means to live. This week they’re looking at another one of Akira Kurosawa’s beloved films, Ikiru, which is about a sad pencil-pusher who discovers he only has a few months left to live. The guys talk about why this film is so different for Kurosawa and how emotional this movie is to everyone who watches it.
