Podcast appearances and mentions of hiroshi katagiri

Gabe and special guest Betsy Jorgenson of the Your Favorite Monsters Podcast kick off month two with Genre Grinder’s first (of probably many) witch-themed episode. Witch movies are a broad concept, so this time, we’re covering witches as a historical concept, the intricacies of Satanic cults and covens, and witches as the victims of inquisitions. Marvel at Gabe’s utter inability to pronounce Slavic and Italian names as we focus on three specific films: Konstantin Yershov & Georgi Kropachyov’s Russian folk horror comedy, Viy (1967), Michele Soavi’s surrealistic, Gothic freak-out The Church (1989), and Stuart Gordon’s Inquisition-themed adaptation of Poe’s The Pit and the Pendulum (1991). We also chat a bit about newer witch movies, including Ari Aster Hereditary (2018), Robert Eggers’ The VVitch (2015), André Øvredal’s The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2017), Gareth Evans’ The Apostle (2018), and Hiroshi Katagiri’s Gehenna: Where Death Lives (2016). After you’ve listened, be sure to share your feedback on genregrinder.com or @GenreGrinder, then mosey on over to YourFavoriteMonsters.com hear more from Betsy and her podcasting partner Blake.

This week, the Grue-Crew survive an encounter with a ferocious sea-god, a walking nightmare, and... David Tennant. First up is the feature film Soft Matter from director Jim Hickcox featuring a dancing monster made of trash bags, duct tape, and really fresh Kicks. What? The next film, Gehenna Where Death Lives from director Hiroshi Katagiri, features Doug Jones and Lance Henriksen in the cast...for a few precious minutes - thankfully, the rest of the film is interesting as well. Rounding out the show is the theatrical release of Bad Samaritan from director Dean Devlin and it features David Tennant as a serial killer - what else do you need to know. The hunt is on for the diamond in the rough.

  Hiroshi Katagiri was born in Japan. Enamored by the artistry of film at a young age, he moved to the US at age 18 to pursue a career in special makeup effects. He became a primary artist at Stan Winston Studios, where he was a go-to effects guy for 3 films directed by Steven Spielberg - Jurassic Park, A.I., and War of the Worlds.
