It’s our 50th episode, and, to celebrate this milestone, we’re discussing the two movies that inspired this podcast: DOOR and SABAKU! When we first started this podcast, Banmei Takahashi’s DOOR was a brutally underseen, almost forgotten film. Now, thanks to Third Window Films, it has had a second life! Guy unpacks the story of its production company and his own introduction to the film. We then take a hard violent turn with SABAKU, a vicious queer pinku from the early 2000s. This film has always been shrouded in mystery. Dave digs deep into secrets, focusing on its oddly named director, ”Casino”, and its connection to podcast favourite, Hisaysu Sato.
