Red Med Redemption

    This week- a nurse in the Second Sino-Japanese War and a group of Yakuza on a forced vacation. 

     Sakura Nishi is a young nurse. A series of  weightless vignettes follow her experiences, mostly sexual, through her postings all over. From a safe hospital far from the fighting to a field surgery to treating a cholera outbreak right on the front line. Considered by some to be a classic war film- Red Angel.
     Murakawa has grown tired. After years cultivating his incredibly profitable territory, he's ready to retire from the Yakuza lifestyle. While contemplating calling it a day, his boss sends him to mediate an insignificant dispute between two allied gangs. When his office is bombed and he is attacked in a bar, Murakawa and his remaining men take shelter in a small house on a beach to wait for the trouble to blow over. A minimalist work of humor and apathy- Sontine.
     All that and Tyler dreams of trading card games, Dave gets episodic, and Kevin creates a new calendar. Join us, won't we?
    Episode 292- Red Med Redepmtion
