Episode 48 whisks you away on a magical journey to the land of Japanese Extreme Cinema. By which we mean shoving you into the deep end of the pool! Our resident expert, Jolyon didn’t make the featured film, so don’t blame him! In fact, he called it “pretty offensive”. Before your hosts get into the particulars of “Entrails of a Beautiful Woman” (no, really - and it translates literally) Jolyon gives us some facts and history of this genre known as “Pink Films”. Have you heard of “Satanic Panic”? Well, some of these movies were so extreme that they sparked “Cannibal Panic”! Will explains that the main attraction "features rape and a cock monster”. He isn’t wrong. Richard notices that all art and technology, from petroglyphs to modern computers, is eventually used for porn. Also not wrong. There is a lot to be mined from the extreme, but your hosts reign it in a bit and suggest some more appealing choices to get started. Are some of these titles chosen by just rolling dice with words on them? Maybe! In any case, if you are planning an “Asian Food / Asian Horror” party or just want to do a nice dose of Angel Rain and relax, this episode is dropping like a watermelon on pavement!
