In this episode I ask animator Chris Boylan to pair something from the world of animation with my movie pick which is Punk Samurai aka Punk Samurai Slash Down. Directed by the legend Gakuryu Ishii (Sogo Ishii) this action comedy is unique and wildly entertaining. Chis chose to pair it with Afro Samurai, an animated 5 part series. We hope that you enjoy the conversation!
