DC from The 8pl8s Podcast returns to MAS to discuss the Japanese Robocop rip-off Lady Battle Cop. This episode is exactly what you think it is. Fire. Just like Lady Battle Cop.

Hans from Movies: A Podcast About The Act Of Cinema joins me today on MAS to talk about Jason Eisener's Kids vs. Aliens. We also discuss the state of the horror genre, film critics/criticism, indie vs. establishment art, Mass State Lottery, bad remakes (Black Christmas), Hollywood careerism, and art vs. commerce.

On today's MAS I talk with J. David Osborne about Tsutomu Nihei's 5-part Wolverine miniseries SNIKT! as well as a wide range of topics. This 3-hour-plus episode is an instant banger.

Grant Wamack is back on MAS. We talk in depth about Don Glover's new Amazon show SWARM.New MAS podcast series AKIRA PILLED coming soon! Outro song PAIGE TURCO by Gone Wallace.

On today's MAS, I talk with director Kurando Mitsutake about his film Maniac Driver. We get into how he ended up making his first Pink Eiga film as a way to make a "Japanese Giallo" film. We also talk about growing up in Tokyo, moving to America, Japan's samurai identity, intimacy coordinators, making a film in 4 days, manga, otakus, Takashi Ishii, Kihachi Okamoto, AI art, breaking the 4th wall, Shinzo Abe's assassination, the Tokyo subway gas attack, art influencing violence with art, and his next film Lion-Girl. I had a great time talking with Mitsutake san and think this is the best episode to date of the podcast.

I went and saw Scream 6. These are my thoughts about the movie on the drive home from the theater. I kept it spoiler free except for the opening scene. Also left in my reactions to the trailers that played before Scream 6.

The subject of today's episode is a book published in 1971. That book is The Naked Soul Of Iceberg Slim by Robert Beck (aka Iceberg Slim himself). I invited Duvay Knox, author of The Pussy Detective (Clash books), to talk about it and Iceberg Slim.
