Episode title: "Imprint" [Wikipedia] [IMDb]
Director: Takashi Miike
Writer(s): Daisuke Tengan (screenplay), Shimako Iwai (original novel)
Stars: Billy Drago, Youki Kudoh, Michie Itô

PROMO: Too Many Captains (@ItsaFilmPodcast)
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: 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.
