In episode 9 of That movie sounds gay, I'll be looking at Ichi the Killer (2001).

Takashi Miike's ultraviolent interpretation of Hideo Yamamoto's manga has been no stranger to controversy, with critics and audiences split on whether it is brilliant or just nasty. In this episode, the focus will mostly be on the film's portrayal of sexuality. I'll be comparing the way it handles its themes to the manga, as well as taking a look at the bisexual, sadomasochistic yakuza enforcer, Kakihara.
