Sideburns and Cigarettes review "Jigen Daisuke"!

Friends of the site and no doubt staple in many a Lupin fans ear Sideburns & Cigarettes have released a brand-new episode reviewing the recent Amazon Prime feature film, Jigen Daisuke! Or… was that Daisuke Jigen? Journey to the Jig Dimension? … Who knows! Or cares!

If you read our review, the new film is a blast, and I was honoured to join the podcast gang (sans Chris, who was sorely missed!) for the recording of the episode.

I’ve enjoyed listening along to Sideburns & Cigarettes over the years, in particular their weekly reviews of Lupin ZERO and Part 6 (which at twenty-odd episodes, must have been quite the commitment and a lot of hard work)! The crew has had some superb guests on the show, and I’m honoured to have even been considered! Hanging out with them is always a blast, and everyone is so kind and welcoming.

You can give the episode a listen below, but I encourage you to check out some of their others. They’re all a good listen - with lots of in-depth discussion, and humour. You can visit their social media links page here. Thanks again for having me on - I had an amazing time!

“In this episode, Drew, Emma, Natalie, and our debonair co-host in Switzerland, Guillaume, are joined by a very special returning guest. The wonderful fellow behind Lupin Central himself, Lee Sparkes! Join us as we discuss the latest, live-action entry in the Lupin franchise, "Jigen Daisuke"!

Jigen's Combat Magnum is giving him some trouble. On the search for Chiharu Yaguchi, a master gunsmith, he's pulled into the vibrant, seedy underworld of Deigyo-gai Town. Soon finding himself as the guardian of a child named Oto and in the crosshairs of the mysterious Adele and her right-hand goon Kawashima.”
