Dan's brother Will joins the podcast again to host an outing of "Violent Ends," an exploration of films with similar set ups but very different finales. Here, they discuss two films about wandering men cleaning up corrupt frontier towns: Kurosawa's influential samurai flick Yojimbo and parody western Support Your Local Sheriff. Join as they discuss the long tail of Kurosawa's influence in westerns, Yojimbo's remarkable cinematography, the extended universe of remakes and spinoffs, the hysterical supporting cast of Support Your Local Sheriff, and Dan and Will's personal connection to the "Support" comedies.

3 Animated Three Wise Men Stories ft. Gavin - Three wise guys
Saturday Jan 06, 2024
Saturday Jan 06, 2024
Biblical scholar and friend of the pod Gavin returns to The Goods to discuss three animated films telling stories about the Three Wise Men. A crazy, racist 1976 Mexican film, a bananas 2003 Disney-dubbed film, and a more straightforward 2006 Andy Griffith-narrated Nativity short.
Join as Dan, Brian, and Gavin discuss the biblical and historical background for the wise men and Jesus's birth, the unusual contexts for each of the three films, an enumeration of the most insane episodes of the film, and appreciation for the musical design of the 2006 short.
