In this week's episode we discuss two films from acclaimed Japanese director Kinji Fukusaku, both heavily influenced by his experiences during WW2.
First, Battles Without Honor and Humanity, a gritty depiction of a post-war Yakuza family and a film often hailed as Japan's answer to The Godfather.
Second, Battle Royale, a controversial yet celebrated post-apocalyptic tale of high school students trapped in a fight to the death.
Which one will come out on top?
