Criterion Reflections – Episode 109 – Lone Wolf and Cub [Part 2]

Criterion Reflections is David Blakeslee’s ongoing project to watch all of the films included in the Criterion Collection in chronological order of their original release. This fourth season of the podcast features conversations about movies that originally premiered in 1972 and were destined to eventually receive the Criterion imprimatur. In this episode, David is joined by Richard Doyle, Jason Beamish and David Seeley to conclude a discussion about the Lone Wolf and Cub series, six films released in Japan between 1972-1974. Part Two of this two-part series covers Baby Cart in Peril, Baby Cart in the Land of Demons and White Heaven in Hell.
