In this episode, we're hitting the mean streets for a killer crime film by way of Japan, thanks to Dustin's pick. So join us as we check out Kinji Fukasaku's Japan Organized Crime Boss from 1969. Harkening back to our prior format, Dustin delivers a whirlwind overview and history of the yakuza subgenre. Jason digs in with the aesthetics of the film and how well they build the atmosphere. But before all that, Jason makes it back to the theater for a big horror franchise revival and Dustin digs further with Arrow's J-Horror Rising box set. And so much more!
