Two episodes in a week?! What a treat. Brad Garoon & Jake Ziegler are back with a look at the films of 1973. The two movies discussed come from different countries and represent popular film movements coming out of each. Jake assigns Brad Hal Ashby's The Last Detail, a road movie starring Jack Nicholson, Otis Young, and a very young Randy Quaid. They talk about subcultures of the time, and the style that many New Hollywood-era films were interested in. And by the way, when Brad says God of Carnage in this conversation, he means Carnal Knowledge. 

Brad then throws it to Jake to watch Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart to Hades. They talk about this bloody, exploitative martial arts film and the deluge of similar films that came out of Japan around this time. They talk about its influence on modern franchises like Star Wars, and the clear (and admitted) influence it had on Quentin Tarantino.
