Supple & Lean | A Geekcast 13: 'Keanu, Katanas & Code of the Streets'

Welcome to Episode #13 of the 4ever in Electric Dreams & CONFESSIONS OF A CURLY MIND co-production - Supple & Lean | A Geekcast.

Presented by Imran Mirza from London, UK, and Vahé Vishapakagh Koshayan from Melbourne, Australia, for this episode we dive into two cult classics: Jim Jarmusch’s Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999) and Keanu Reeves’ directorial debut Man of Tai Chi (2013).  Ghost Dog blends hip-hop, samurai philosophy and mafia codes in a meditative hitman tale starring Forest Whitaker while Man of Tai Chi brings Keanu to the director's chair — and into the villain role — in a slick martial arts flick about fighting, morality and spiritual discipline in modern-day China.

We unpack the East-meets-West aesthetics, the existential questions and discuss why both films punch way above their weight in the action genre.

The show today features original music from Supple & Lean featuring Balogneous Monk with 'Run N' Cut Ya!'.
