In this eye-catching episode, Vanessa challenges Elijah to find the perfect martial arts pairing for the Italian gore classic The Beyond. After talking a bit too long about the part where a tarantula eats a guy’s tongue, Elijah decides to uphold the podcast’s long standing tradition of discussing sequels before originals whenever possible and chooses the twenty-second film in the Zatoichi franchise, Zatoichi Meets The One-Armed Swordsman. But what could these two swordsmen possibly have in common with a hotel built on a gate to hell? Is Elijah going to make good on his promise to eat every snack pairing? And why is Vanessa so fired up about a recent video game character reveal? Find out in this week’s double-feature discussion!  

The official snack pairing for The Beyond and Zatoichi Meets The One-Armed Swordsman is étouffée onigiri.
