Yellow Fangs (1990) with Greg and Kron

Chris is joined by Greg from The Weekly Podcast Massacre and Kron from 5 Day Rentals as they discuss the 1990 Japanese film Yellow Fangs (リメインズ　美しき勇者たち aka Remains: Beautiful Heroes) directed by Sonny Chiba. They cover the film's background, including its inspiration from the real-life 1915 Sankebetsu brown bear incident (三毛別羆事件). The conversation explores the film's thematic depth, blending of genres, and notable performances, particularly by Hiroyuki Sanada. They also examine why the film was a critical and commercial failure and resulted in Sonny Chiba never directing another film. The episode ends with a game called Grisly Men, where participants identify whether a series of quotes came from either Timothy Treadwell or a famous serial killer.
