On this episode, we talk about a couple of movies dealing with cancer and what its knowledge of diagnosis means to the person with the ailment. First, we review and discuss the new movie from writer/director Lulu Wang called The Farewell starring Awkwafina. Then we get into another movie dealing with a person with cancer, though from a very different perspective. This time it's from Japanese master Akira Kurosawa and the movie is Ikiru starring his longtime collaborator Takashi Shimura as a man whose real life's work begins only after finding out he has stomach cancer and a short time to live.
