Gena and Patrick join Joel and Spencer to discuss the baffling, bloodless blitz to the brain that is the James Hong film...The Vineyard (1989). James Hong, Hollywood's greatest character actor and one of Spencer's favorite actors, directed a softcore horror feature that defies everything that you think it will be and is. Some liked this movie...others did not. James Hong is an Erotic Sex God!
The Vineyard is on DVD and streaming on Amazon currently.

Joel is on assignment, so Gena from Kill By Kill stops by to discuss the delightful and crazy Hausu (1977). This film is incredible and a thrill ride through the mind of Nobuhiko Obayashi. If you have not seen it, see it. Words can't and don't describe what it's like.
Other Films Discussed: Suspiria, High Anxiety, 3 Women, Kingdom of the Spiders, Pigs and Battleships, Jigoku, The VVitch, Martin, and the Hills Have Eyes
Listen to Gena on Kill By Kill, available wherever you find podcasts.

Joel and Spencer discuss the convoluted, Jidaigeki, Mobster, and yakuza film, Hunter in the Dark from 1979 (not much for 1980). The film stars...Tatsuya Nakadai and Sonny Chiba. This is the sleaziest movie covered so far. Jigoku and Gates of Flesh look tame in comparison. They also go over their favorite films of 1979.
Also Joel HAS NOT seen the Steve Martin classic...The Jerk.
