For Episode 450 we spent the entire episode with our friend, and one of our favorite working filmmakers, Kurando Mitsutake! We get the scoop on his upcoming Japanese Giallo film Maniac Driver, we have the world premiere of the opening theme to the film, and we even get a glimpse into the future of his next film. Plus, Kurando joins us for a special discussion of the classic flick Tenebrae, from maestro Dario Argento! There is plenty of Giallo talk, Kurando does a round of Q&A with listener questions, and we put our pocket change together in an attempt to fund his next film! So grab your black gloves, show off your disarming arterial artwork with a Lone Wolf and Cub amount of blood, and strap on for the world\\u2019s most dangerous podcast!
