MPM: Ep. 435 - Double the Pain, Double the Fun

 

Saga of the Phoenix | Jigoku - This week, we check out a couple of hell-themed Asian horror films. We go through Saga of the Phoenix (1990) from Hong Kong, and Jigoku (1960) from Japan. In this episode, we all talk about our own personal circles of hell, we find out that Jigoku has one of the earliest displays of brutal gore in films, and how we should always check to make sure movies aren't sequels before we podcast them. Enjoy!
