The Ring-A-Palooza curse won't release Zack and Kelly just yet! Because Hollywood's Ring movies got so much discussion in the previous episodes, it seemed only fair to revisit those movies and offer updated opinions on them. Plus, the much-maligned The Ring Two was actually directed by the original Ring director Hideo Nakata, making it an interesting movie to talk a little about.Sneaking into the discussion is talk about the Jonathan Liebesman short film Rings from 2005, which was a promotional tie-in short that bridged the two Hollywood features (there would later be a feature-length Hollywood film sequel titled Rings in 2017 but it does not share the same plot as the short discussed here).The short film Rings is included on The Ring's Blu-ray and The Ring Two's unrated DVD. It can also be viewed on YouTube, presented here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stddELfKnsYGore Verbinski's The Ring can be found on Blu-ray and DVD. Hideo Nakata's The Ring Two is only on DVD.
