Episode 56 – Tampopo (1985)

A row of people at a counter, bowls covering their faces to get the last of their meal

This week we have a special guest, our good friend, the librarian Kate Eckert, to talk about the Japanese comedy Tampopo, a “ramen western” about a young widow and the truck driver who helps her become an expert ramen chef. We talk about food, sex, and old women who can’t stop squeezing the merchandise.
