This is a fair response and I appreciate it.

Is racist art important to you beyond looking at a well made film promoting evil? What is the value in a completely racist story being in The Canon?

Can a film where you have to take the ENTIRE story part of it set it aside make it into the Canon purely on its film making prowess/advances and aesthetics? I think thats actually an interesting thing worth exploring.

I'm glad we can appreciate all art in a complete context free vacuum. Do it up then, I want to hear you defend either film in a podcast.

Yeah I'm pretty sure a film glorifying the KKK and a film glorifying the Nazis should not be in the Canon. I don't think thats a wild bloody statement.

You laughing while you get out "she's been dead for a long time" is a classic Canon podcast moment. As for the movie, Mickey Rooney's performance in this movie makes me so uncomfortable in this day and age that it just edges it out of Canon worthiness for me. I'm sorry that I'm the "anti-art" argument but like you guys said its a character that adds nothing to the film and it generally takes away from the timelessness of the story. If Mr. Yunioshi was not in this movie its an easy Canon film, but the discomfort I feel when watching this can't be overlooked to me.

Felt like the entire podcast Devin really didn't offer a legitimate defence for his movie and mostly just attempted to cut off Amy as much as possible. Amy's criticism was some of the best I've heard from her, loved it. There's better movies in this niche genre that could be in the Canon, voting no.
