Recovered takes on Seven Samurai and their legacy

In a topic too big for one episode, Dan and Keith travel back to feudal Japan to revisit Akira Kurosawa's classic, The Seven Samurai, and the films it inspired. There's a lot to break down: legendary warriors, a town in crisis, and a debate among our co-hosts on Toshiro Mifune's wardrobe choices for the big siege, and then it's time to jump forward to 21st century China for The Seven Swords, which is said to be based on a Chinese novel, but still somehow ends up a Seven Samurai remake, only much, much bleaker.

We hear you, we know what you thought the second half of this episode was going to be. Don't worry. We'll get there. It's coming.
