Joe made Nick watch Takashi Mike’s Audition (1999) and holy sh*t!!! Miike is a prolific director who works in a wide variety of genres, but Audition is the movie that put him on the international map! This one changed horror, influencing the likes of Eli Roth when he made Hostel and introducing the world to just how hardcore Japan can be! It’s a creepy, disturbing slow burn of a movie that pays off with some of the most extreme stuff ever put on film! We also think it’s a lot of fun!

Corrections: *James Wan didn’t do Sinister. I was thinking of Insidious and The Conjuring. Also meant to say Takashi Miike directed Dead or Alive not Dead Heat

Next Episode 11/14/22!
