The movie
Show notes
Ok, don’t let Tim’s rating fool you. It’s not a condemnation of this film, it’s a matter of taste. That being said, you better strap yourself in and peel those eyelids back for this week’s film “Ichi The Killer,” because you are about to get a real eye-full! This movie is out of control, and the weird, Manga-esque, hyper-stylized, ultra-graphic, sadomasochistic, visual storytelling on display is something to behold. Speaking of holding things, prepare to try and hold down your lunch for a few scenes. All of this is to say we went on a serious journey with this film, resulting in a “rent” from Ryan and a rare (and previously explained) “avoid” from Tim. Join us for the conversation…before we cut off our own tongues. Ichi the Killer (2001) Directed by Takashi Miike Written by Sakichi Sato and Hideo Yamamoto Where we watched: Shudder RecommenDEADtions: Tapestry by Carol King (album) / Heaven’s Gate: The Cult of Cults Next week’s film: Apostle (2018)
