This week we're so delighted to welcome Ryûhei Kitamura to our show! He's the director behind Midnight Meat Train, Versus, Godzilla: Final Wars and so much more. His latest film The Price We Pay is currently available on VOD. We chat about Ryûhei's career, the changes they made to the ending of The Price We Pay and he shares so many fantastic stories about first coming to America, living in Australia and basically living at the movie theater. Don't miss this conversation.

Then we dig into Phantasm, the movie that scared Ryûhei growing up. We talk about the Japanese poster, the programs they make for movies with the salacious details inside as well as the dreamlike nature of the film.

You can follow Ryûhei on Instagram. And check out his site XROSSCOUNTER for cool merch.
