Your Movie Rocks: Crazy Samurai Musashi

Welcome to Your Movie Rocks, an Alternate Ending podcast hosted by Mandy Albert. For every episode, Mandy will watch a movie assigned by her guest host, followed by a lively discussion. There’s only one rule: no matter what the movie does to her, Mandy is only allowed to love it.

In Episode 5, Mandy is joined by AE regular Andrew Milne for a lively discussion of a movie that does not even occupy the same fold of spacetime as her wheelhouse: Shimomura Yuji's Crazy Samurai Musashi (2020), a psychology experiment in the form of a movie.  But was it an enjoyable psychology experiment?  Tune in to hear Mandy and Andrew develop a Grand Theory of Crazy Samurai Musashi in real time, learn about one of the strangest movie gimmicks of the decade so far, and find out why Andrew was so eager to revisit a movie that made him angry the first time around.   You can snag a copy of Andrew's novel White Scar Across the Firmament here!
