The Last Samurai is on trial this week. A perfect blossom or a knife in the guts?

Alex defends, saying that this love letter to Japan made a fascinating period of history accessible for Western audiences. Dave feels too much is lost in translation, with glaring historical inaccuracies that stop it achieving greatness.

All this with an impression of the big man Billy Connolly and a quiz all about Akira Kurosawa.
