Showing rape is a taboo in film. But when it comes to breaking this taboo, Japan does it very differently than the rest of the world. On this episode, Madeline discusses 'Rape!', a 1976 Nikkatsu Roman Porno written by 'House' scribe Chiho Katsura. Along the way, she discusses the depiction of sexual assault in film - and why it matters.

Music:

Grant Green - 'Idle Moments'

Diego Nava - 'Chill Bro' (Cinema Cauldron outro)
