Made in the rubble of postwar Japan, RECORD OF A TENEMENT GENTLEMAN (1947) finds Yasujirō Ozu exploring his familiar preoccupations of family and modernity through a different kind of setting. PLUS: Is the Canadian election a done deal?

That Carney music is some wwe Vince McMahon entrance shit.

Carney’s fandom for Down with Webster came up in his interview with Nardwuar, which I watched because I am an informed citizen. The best part of it, to me, was when they discussed how much Carney loves the Clash, but he made a point to emphasize that he doesn’t like Sandanista! I chose to interpret this as a pivot back to the centre to distance himself from the leftism of the band and that title in particular.

Been trying to get the nickname "Mean Trudeau" to stick for Pollievre for some years now. So happy to hear you lads frame that performative yin/yang of these two blubbering incompetents.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, Yasujiro Ozu is back!” got an actually embarrassing laugh out of me while listening at work lmao

Surprisingly, Dinosaurs is on Disney+ though I'd say just buy it on physical media. Still not enough reason to subscribe to another streaming service. I've narrowed mine down to Criterion and Paramount+. I was paying for five and only watching two which are the two that survived the purge....DIGITALLY. Added note:Thank you for another Ozu episode. A breath of fresh air always. Nicely done gents! Come over to Portland,OR sometime. Michael and Us Nation is strong here. Keep up the good work and don't wait too long to start more Sorkinverse episodes. Happy you're watching those so we don't have to🙏🏻

Re: John Waters, don't forget that he cut a video for DeRay when he made a puzzling long shot bid for Baltimore mayor

What is that interstitial song around the 22 minute mark from? Trying to think of it is breaking my brain.

I like to picture Mark Carney coming home after a long day of work and playing that Down With Webster song on his stereo

I'm going to disagree or at least quibble with the idea that not all of Ozu's shots advance the story. I think they all do. Luke's analysis of the role of the lottery is discussed at the dinner, which also defines the community within the 'tenement'. That's part of the story. The opening monologue is, I think, a reflection on the war, the effects of which are so visible but the event itself is not mentioned. (How did O-Tane become a widow? Maybe her husband was killed in bombing or combat.) The beach scenes on the way back from Chigasaki emphasise her isolation. It all adds up. I would contrast this with the Apple+ series Severance where I think too many shots/scenes go on a beat or two too long, and it doesn't really add up. The point is made, move on. Thanks for doing an episode on this. As soon as Will said to watch the film, I went and did that because I was already in love with the story so far. It's only my second Ozu in some 55 years of watching film on television or at the cinema. I really enjoyed both film and podcast and I wouldn't have found it without you two.
