Captain’s Logs and Lightsabers - Episode 2: Kurosawa and the Seven Samurai

Join Jonathan and Chris as they first cover news stories from Star Wars and Star Trek from the past two weeks.  Topics include Star Wars The High Republic, Tom Kane, 800 Episodes/Films from the Star Trek Franchise, and Tig Notaro and Discovery Season 4.   Then we have our feature discussion regarding Akira Kurosawa, Seven Samurai, and their influences on both Star Trek and Star Wars.  We discuss how an episode of Star Trek: Enterprise, an episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and an episode of The Mandalorian all connect to Seven Samurai, as well as their similarities and differences.  We discuss which episode did it best, and choose a favorite.   Contact the Show:   Twitter - @LogsAndLightPod Facebook - www.facebook.com/LogsAndLightsabersPod Instagram - @logsandlightsaberspod Email - [email protected]   Contact the Hosts   Jonathan - justadisneygeek on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube   Chris - @chrisstough1 or @PghTrekChat on Twitter,  Pittsburgh's Trek Chat on YouTube,  Email [email protected]   Connect with Geek News Now   Twitter - @GNN_Home Facebook - Geek News Now Website - www.geeknewsnow.net   Theme Music composed by Chip Cranmer.  Find his other work at https://www.soundcloud.com/chipcraymer   www.metallicdicegames.com Promo Code - GNN   www.riptapparel.com Promo Code - GNN10 (Daily Tees excluded from promotion)
