Podcaster Chris Osborne comes by the show for a discussion of one of the classics of J-Horror. In this episode, we dive into Takeshi Shimizu's Ju-on: The Grudge, which helped contribute to the J-Horror craze of the early 2000s (and Hollywood's obsession with remaking them).
This is the final episode of the season. Thank you so much for listening, and we'll be back in a few months with Season 12!
