Imprint scared Showtime's censors enough to pull it from the release schedule. Even our seasoned podcasters have to admit it's pretty grim. Takashi Miike is back to his old tricks with Imprint. It's got gore, grotesqueries, and all sorts of torture. Bennett and Jim also found it far more atmospheric than your average Season 1 episode.  As with last year's look at Miike on Split Picks, our hosts admire Miike's craft while occasionally wincing at some of his more excessive decisions. Imprint has plenty of images that still surprise in 2024 and must've been utterly scandalous almost 20 years ago.  Not sure you can handle Imprint? Skip watching it and listen to Bennett and Jim's discussion instead. Created by Mick Garris, Masters of Horror was a two-season series on Showtime that challenged genre legends to create an hour-long horror film. Follow along as Bennett and Jim are forced to spend no more than 20 minutes discussing each episode from the first season of the series or face a room full of poisonous gas.

     This week Japanuary comes to a close with three films by the prolific master Takashi Miike.     Leo is a boxer climbing in the middle of a great win streak. When his doctor tells him he has an inoperable brain tumor and only a short time left. Kase, an ambitious yakuza, and Ōtomo, a corrupt cop, plan to steal drugs and frame Yuri, a trafficked young woman. When Leo hears Yuri call for help, he figures he has nothing to lose and intervenes. Things spiral from there. A thrill ride through alleys and sporting good store massacres, First Love.     Manji, an ageless immortal drifting through under a traumatic loss, is hired to be the bodyguard for Rin, an orphan on a quest for revenge. Rin's father was murdered by the Itto-ryu, a group of samurai assassins seeking to bring all schools of combat together under them, and their leader Kagehisa Anotsu. This live action adaption of a successful manga and anime series is also Miike's 100th directorial effort, Blade of the Immortal.     It has been a decade since Iwao sacrificed his eldest son to settle a dispute with a rival gang. Now younger son, Riki, is getting revenge. Riki also happens to be the head of a gang of startlingly young assassins, who have the leaders of his father's gang squarely in their sights.  Buckets of blood flow, killer darts are fired from undergarments, preteen gunmen, games with unusual balls, and a biker who like a good scrap- Fudoh: The New Generation.      Join us, won't we?   Episode 345- Takashi's Castle

To close out the series on Japanese Horror, Spit Picks looks at a director known for testing the limits of violence on film.Takashi Miike is best known for three things: He is prolific, versatile, and is no stranger to using extreme gore. With 115 directorial credits listed on his IMDb page (at time of publishing), he has made films in just about every genre imaginable. But from blood-soaked epics like Ichi The Killer and 13 Assassins to a glut of Yakuza films, and even a death-centric musical comedy in The Happiness of the Katakuris, Miike's films are never shy to show off fountains of gore with no sense of shyness. But through them all, Miike always injects his unique style, no matter the genre. With Bennett Glace and Jim Hickcox, Split Picks finishes its special series on Japanese Horror by comparing Miike's masterwork to one of his most extreme depictions of violence — an almost hour-long school shooting. With Audition, Miike follows a widowed man, Shigeharu (Ryo Ishibashi), after his friend suggests they set up a film audition to help him find a new wife. When he meets Asami (Eihi Shiina), they quickly fall in love, but everyone around Shigeharu tells him to notice the red flags, which he gleefully overlooks, until he finds himself in a scenario that ranks among the most infamous torture scenes on film. It's a testament to Audition that, in an era when most successful Asian films were remade by Americans, still no one has remade this tale of revenge. Lesson of the Evil finds a popular and handsome teacher on a path to violence against his own students. With a code of morals that makes sense to only him, he tries to stop his students from cheating on tests and uncovers various scandals in the school. As his background comes into focus, he doubles down on what he learned during his time in the United States and. with the assistance of a talking shotgun, he decides to solve his problems in the worst way possible. The pairing of films provides some fascinating contrasts in tone, and some striking similarities in their overall structure. In this episode, the gang discusses how Audition bends time, if Lesson of the Evil crosses the limits of acceptable violence on film, and how As The Gods Will might be the spiritual sequel to Lesson of the Evil that makes black humor work in a similarly morbid scenario.

On this episode, I'm wrapping up my Miike May by talking about some of the items that are in smaller doses but had a huge impact. The controversial Masters of Horror episode, Imprint (2006). The segment Box in the film Three Extremes (2000), both of his television series, MPD Psycho (2000) and Connect (2022). Some of these are definitely not for the faint of heart and can be triggering. Even though they are not full length films these are some extraordinary additions to the lengthy list of his works. For this episode, the song is Imprint (Dedicated to Takashi Miike) by Buckethead.

On this episode, I'm discussing Yakuza Apocalypse. A martial arts, horror, comedy, fantasy extravaganza film that only Takashi Miike could make. So many things in this film from Yakuza vampires, people with melting brains and a pretty bad ass costumed frog with some Bruce Lee vibes. It's wild, wacky and hilariously fun. It's a short and spoiler free episode I think you'll enjoy. Also I forgot to mention you can view this one on Tubi and Pluto TV if you are intrigued and interested in checking it out. For this episode, the song is Yakuza by A Samurai in Tokyo.

On this episode, I'm continuing with week two of my Miike May love fest. One Missed Call (2003) is a J-Horror film from the early 2000s and let me tell you, I was so afraid of weird voicemail messages after watching this one. Lots of ghosts, freaky deaths, a bit of a mystery and some red gumball candy that gave me the creeps even though it looked delicious. Come and listen to my short and spoiler free horror TED talk about one of my favorite Takashi Miike horror classics even though the ringtone still has me fearful of vengeful spirits to this day. For this episode, the song is Ring Ring Ring by De La Soul but go listen to the ringtone for this film because it's infectious.

“If you feel like you're stuck in your communication, if you feel like you've got a barrier in front of you, if you feel like people have said that you can't do it or you're not that good, whatever it is, three components will get you from where you are to where you want to go,” shares Mike Acker, executive communication coach and author of 10 books, including bestsellers Speak With No Fear and Speak with Confidence. Today, Mike explains how speaking authentically can create executive presence.  There can be many types of barriers to success. Some of these barriers may be external and less under your control, such as location or a speech impediment. However, if it is doubt in yourself or a victim mindset that is holding you back, improving your communication can help to remove those obstacles. In the end, poor communication reduces a person's executive presence. And a great leader who communicates poorly will be interpreted as a worse leader than someone who has fantastic communication and mediocre leadership skills.  If you are unsure where to start, Miike shares three different aspects of communication seen in those with high executive presence. These are a basic awareness of your starting point, knowledge of what needs to be changed, and lots of practice to build confidence.  Quotes “Sometimes it's the doubt that it's even possible. Sometimes it's a lack of desire. Sometimes it's this mindset of, well, not me, I couldn't do that. And it's this victim mentality, and sometimes it's the external obstacles.” (9:08-9:23 | Mike A.) “Your poor communication actually causes people to see you as less than what your leadership presence does.” (14:01-14:10 | Mike A.)  “If you feel like you're stuck in your communication, if you feel like you've got a barrier in front of you, if you feel like people have said that you can't do it or you're not that good, whatever it is, three components will get you from where you are to where you want to go.” (30:06-30:20 | Mike A.)

The Only Horror Movie Podcast with Nick and Joe

Joe made Nick watch Takashi Mike's Audition (1999) and holy sh*t!!! Miike is a prolific director who works in a wide variety of genres, but Audition is the movie that put him on the international map! This one changed horror, influencing the likes of Eli Roth when he made Hostel and introducing the world to just how hardcore Japan can be! It's a creepy, disturbing slow burn of a movie that pays off with some of the most extreme stuff ever put on film! We also think it's a lot of fun! Corrections: *James Wan didn't do Sinister. I was thinking of Insidious and The Conjuring. Also meant to say Takashi Miike directed Dead or Alive not Dead Heat Next Episode 11/14/22!
