Welcome to the second anniversary episode of the podcast that talks about movies that exist! We celebrate this auspicious occasion by bringing our own family back together. Esteemed former co-host Rufus joins us for a healthy discussion of the late Yoshimitsu Morita’s debut feature The Family Game, one of the few ’80s Japanese films that garnered international attention. We also talk about our second anniversary (which you can also read about here: http://bit.ly/vc2contest), catch up with our goings on, and have flashbacks to the first two years of VCinema zaniness

In 2004, he returned to the United States to complete his Masters in Language Education and continue his career as a language educator and cultural anthropologist with a focus on language policy and language shift.
