| 0:00.0 | Hi this is Steve. One of the best things about doing the Cinephiles is turning people on to films they've never seen before. |
| 0:07.0 | But that's also a heady responsibility. I mean, how will they react? Will people love these films as much as John and I do or will |
| 0:15.1 | they think that we're absolutely crazy? There's certainly some films which created a fair |
| 0:20.0 | amount of controversy and others that some of our listeners absolutely hate. |

| 1:14.7 | stream 7 Samurai, along with every other film we've ever reviewed, then come back on Friday |
| 1:20.4 | to hear John and I conclude our discussion of one of our favorite films of all time. |
