S4 E7: Throw Down
Conrado and Rachel strap their Judo belts tight and travel to Hong Kong to talk about the first movie by prolific director Johnnie To to be included in the Criterion Collection. Known for violent gangster movies and frothy romantic comedies, Throw Down stands out in his filmography as a martial arts melodrama heavily inspired by the work of Akira Kurosawa.
