Dave shows Guy THE BLACK CAT from 1989, not to be confused with the million other films with the same title. This is the one directed by Luigi Cozzi, the Italian b-movie master and charismatic clerk of Dario Argento's Profondo Rosso Store! This film is a sort-of-kind-of meta sequel to Argento's SUSPIRIA and goes to some extremely strange spacey places. Cue vomit, haunted fridges, incongruous rock songs, and random cutaways to black cats!

Guy shows Dave HAWK JONES from 1986. The tagline for this sums it up perfectly: The movie with the kids in it! Yep, HAWK JONES is a buddy-cop crime caper with a cast made up entirely of tiny kids. Despite being aimed at a young audience, the kids spout sexist quips, smoke cigars, and blast each other to death with guns and grenades. HAWK JONES also features the greatest villain of straight-to-video cinema: THE DESTROYER! This is a fun one!

Dave shows Guy END OF THE WICKED, a Nigerian film from 1999 made by Helen Ukpabio and the Liberty Gospel Church. This is definitely the darkest thing we've ever talked about as Dave digs deep into its disturbing backstory of Christian propaganda and child witch accusations. But not to worry, there's plenty of goofy video effects, vomit-spattered witch make-up, humans turning into guinea pigs, cross-eyed electrocutions, and dog ghosts floating out of dead bodies to keep everyone happy. All that and blood-deprived Beelzebub at the centre of the proceedings. Bring on the trauma!

Guy shows Dave WEREWOLF from 1987, not to be confused with the many other films with the same title released around the same time. This one is from Thailand and directed by Sommai Khamsorn. Even if you haven't seen the film, you may have seen a clip from it titled "Greatest Werewolf Transformation Scene Ever". There is more to WEREWOLF than just that scene though. It also features crotch-thrusting zombies, cinema's worst wig, and a cackling witch with a massive chin. This film is as cooked as it gets.

Warning: This is an especially gross episode.

Our third and final mini episode about our recent trip to Tokyo! In this episode, we discuss our visit to Ryuji Yamamoto's izakaya. Yamamoto is an absolute legend of the AV and pinku world and has worked with everyone from Hisayasu Sato to Akio Jissoji. And, most importantly for us, Yamamoto featured in previous Show Me Something Wrong episode, DOG AND AUNT! Yamamoto was both fun and terrifying to speak to. Also featured in this episode: a long tangent about free gyoza and a discussion of our nightcap with Shozin Fukui.

Dave shows Guy OGROFF aka MAD MUTILATOR from 1983, a French Super 8 slasher. Directed by Norbert Moutier (often credited as N. G. Mount), this film is an insane masterpiece. Every frame is utterly mad with chainsaw fights, incongruous zombies, kid murder, cars being battered to bits, and axes being used in ways they shouldn't. And it's all set to a relentless score that sounds like it was recorded in a lunatic's basement. Dave digs deep into Moutier's fascinating backstory, discussing his work outside of OGROFF.

The second of three mini episodes about our recent trip to Tokyo! This was recorded after we went out for drinks with Hisayasu Sato and Kôichi Imaizumi. Like minutes after. So, at this point we're like ten beers in and recording the middle of a vomit-strewn Shinjuku street. We share some of the fun stories we heard from Sato and once again discuss our love of his first film DISTORTED SENSE OF TOUCH. Enjoy!

Guy shows Dave BLOODY BUNS, a Hong Kong CAT III from 2002. It's a film about a man who murders a family, grinds them up, and turns them into human pork buns. Sound familiar? Yep, BLOODY BUNS is an almost scene-for-scene remake of Herman Yau's 1993 masterpiece THE UNTOLD STORY. Only crappy. So, so crappy. Join us as we lose our minds watching this horrendous film and discuss our love for the brilliant original that it rips off so poorly!

The first of three mini episodes about our recent trip to Tokyo! This episode was recorded on location in Shinjuku. We discuss the screening of two Hisayasu Sato films: his new film, DEAR KAITA ABLAZE (2023), and his first film, DISTORTED SENSE OF TOUCH (1985). DISTORTED OF SENSE OF TOUCH was a particularly exciting watch as it so rarely shown. After the screening, we were able to chat with Sato and hear a few exciting tidbits about his career.
