David is joined by Dave Eves and Richard Doyle as they talk about Episode 23 in the Zatoichi franchise to launch Season 4 of this podcast.

Criterion Reflections is David Blakeslee’s ongoing project to watch all of the films included in the Criterion Collection in chronological order of their original release. This fourth season of the podcast features conversations about movies that originally premiered in 1972 and were destined to eventually receive the Criterion imprimatur. In this episode, David is joined by Richard Doyle and Dave Eves to discuss Zatoichi at Large, directed by Kazuo Mori.
