A podcast is trying to reunite with their old friend amid a city ravaged by a plague that turns its victims into deranged, bloodthirsty sadists. On Episode 511 of Trick or Treat Radio we discuss one of our most anticipated films of the year, The Sadness from director Rob Jabbaz, streaming exclusively on Shudder now! We also connect up with one of our friends who also happens to be one of our favorite directors, Kurando Mitsutake! Kurando talks about his latest film Maniac Driver, and gives some early info about his next project!
