On today’s episode of One Missed Pod, Zack and Kelly are joined by Brett der Wiese, who had previously guested on the Wicked City and Monster of Frankenstein episodes. They're back together to talk about another Marvel anime horror adaptation for Japanese TV, Dracula: Sovereign of the Damned (1980), also known as The Tomb of Dracula. The comics featured the vampire hunter Blade! The movie does not. The film is, at the time of this episode’s recording, available in full on YouTube.

On today's episode of One Missed Pod, Zack and Kelly are joined by Brett der Wiese, who had previously guested on the Wicked City episode. This time the gang are talking about Monster of Frankenstein (1981), an anime horror movie adaptation of the Marvel comic inspired by the Mary Shelley classic.

In this episode of One Missed Pod, Zack introduces Kelly to the 1958 cat curse movie Black Cat Mansion (aka Mansion of the Ghost Cat. From director Nobuo Nakagawa (Jigoku), the film is a delightfully odd little horror story with catgirls, curses from beyond the grave, and samurai cheating at boardgames, all squeezed into a short 69 minutes (nice). Zack and Kelly mostly giggle their way through the episode.

In a new episode of One Missed Pod, Kelly and Zack sit down to talk about Dark Water (2002). The film was directed by Hideo Nakata, based off a novel by Koji Suzuki -- a creative pairing that our duo has spent some time with before during the Ring-A-Palooza. Zack and Kelly differ a bit on this movie, which makes for some interesting conversation.

In a new episode of One Missed Pod, Zack and Kelly discuss Shohei Imamura's 1979 true-crime serial killer thriller, Vengeance is Mine. Anchored by a frightening lead performance from Ken Ogata, Vengeance is Mine is a film of deception, perversion, murder, and pitch-black humor.

One Missed Pod is back! This week Zack and Kelly are talking about the Takashi Miike J-horror modern classic Audition (1999). The two discuss the film's use of violence, mystery, and sexism, but are particularly drawn to the unreliable narrator and dreamlike aspects of the film. Spoilers abound throughout the entirety of the episode.

Suehiro Maruo is the master of guro, a Japanese artform which combines the beautiful with the grotesque. Midori (1992) is the adaptation of Maruo's 1984 cult-manga masterpiece retelling of Shōjo Tsubaki. Kelly Gredner, one half of the Spinsters of Horror, joins host Zack Long in discussing this ultra-violent, messed up anime.

Junji Ito is a decisive figure in the horror community, though each year finds more and more fans devoting themselves to his work. On this episode of One Missed Pod, Zack Long is joined by Danielle Ryan to discuss 2000's adaptation of his three-volume manga Uzumaki.
