GHOST DOG: THE WAY OF THE SAMURAI with Saleem Reshamwala
3425
Y'all, I am so stoked for this episode. Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai is a "fearless mashup," according to our guest, of genre, philosophy, culture and music. We're talking a gangster film blended with Eastern teachings and a really dope soundtrack. This film hit Saleem Reshamwala at a very specific moment in his life, and he obtains new meaning from it every time he watches it. And being a self-explained "mashup kid," Ghost Dog seems like the perfect film to talk about. Saleem is a Emmy-nominated mediamaker whose most recent projects are two stellar podcasts, Far Flung from TED and More Than A Feeling from Ten Percent Happier. Check out everything Saleem is working on here!

Welcome to the Show!
88
What is your favorite movie? How about your favorite TV show? We all have our favorites. But why are they our favorites? Whether it’s because we identify with a specific character, or are fascinated by a mythology or if it’s just simply to escape, we all have our reasons for loving the things we love. I’m your host Taylor D. Adams and this is the Film Nuts Podcast, a humble attempt to understand why and how what we watch affects us. I’ll talk to artists, musicians, writers and others about their favorite films and shows, and ask them to share what has inspired or affected them. And hopefully we can get to the root of why we love what we watch, why we’re crazy about a movie or nuts about a show…get it? |
