Even for a sad-man-movie podcast, Akira Kurosawa's "Ikiru" from 1952 is really, really sad! But that doesn't mean we didn't have a good time talking about it. In this episode, Riddy and Tom talk about the continuing relevance of this Japanese classic; saddest karaoke songs; $3,850 hedonistic binges; the similarities between "Ikiru" and "Parks and Recreation"; Immaculate Grids; personal public works projects; and hats! Surprise, everybody! Tom finally relented and you can now follow us on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cheerupbuddypod/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@cheerupbuddypod</a>.

In The Mood For Love

Each episode, Riddy and Tom watch a movie about a sad man then have free-flowing discussions in the hopes they can improve their own lives by learning from these fictional sad sacks. Do the discussions sometimes get personal? Yes. Do the hosts also go on off-topic rants? Also yes. Whatever you think this podcast is, it probably isn't. Hosted on Acast.
