SHOWNOTES: We've elapsed that time of year again where we celebrate Collateral Cinema's anniversary with a film by the legendary Chad himself Takashi Miike! This time, we take a look at his entry for Showtime's 2006 Masters of Horror anthology TV series: "Imprint". Deemed too graphic and disturbing to air as planned, this episode embodies the dark side of Miike cinema with brazen depictions of torture and incorporation of transgressive subject matter. How does it compare against other credits in the subversive Japanese director's impressive film library? Find out Beau and Ash's thoughts in our Season Five #Miikeversary Special!

SHOWNOTES: The Collateral Media Podcasts join up once again for a video game movie theater review, this time on the recent adaption of the action–adventure game series Uncharted! Starring Tom Holland as Nathan Drake and Mark Wahlberg as Sully, this flick has been under the scrutiny of series fans since before its release, but does it hold up to the spirit of the games?

SHOWNOTES: Hajimemashite, yōkoso, and all that weeb shit. This month, Collateral Cinema is talking anime films—and by anime films we mostly mean the pre-weeaboo era  of the 80s and 90s (you know, when anime was GOOD, amirite?). And whaddya' know, this is our first Studio Ghibli movie as it happens. That's right, folks; we are exploring Hayao Miyazaki's 1997 supernatural/historical fantasy classic Princess Mononoke! While considered by many to be Miyazaki-sensei's greatest work, is Mononoke-hime (as it is known in Japan) truly "influential of an entire generation"? Ok, probably not, but this movie is dope as fuck, and it's part of what's you weebs owe your entire personality to.
