Cinema Degeneration Presents - "Ichi The Killer"

'Cinema Degeneration Presents' is a podcast that aims to be an all-encompassing show that doesn't limit itself to one topic or genre. We'll be covering all sorts of movies, books, music and more. There will be solo reviews and group chats with multiple different guest hosts and interviews.  Sometimes there will be themed segments such as "How The F$%k Did That Get Made", "The Good, The Bad, The Independent", "Why Is That Not Eric Roberts?" and iterations of past shows like Old Not Obsolete and This Is Your Brain On Film.  For our 6th episode we are bringing you a celebration of the truly weird and utterly bizarre with a review from our "How The F%$K Did That Get Made" hosts and filmmakers Marcus Koch and Cameron Scott dissecting the 2001 ultra-violent "ICHI THE KILLER" directed by the legendary Takashi Miike and starring Tadanobu Asano, Nao Omori, Shin'ya Tsukamora, and Paulyn Sun.  Our hosts will take you on a trip through this dark comedy crime thriller fueled by hyper-violence. It's a mad story of Kakihara (a sadomasochistic yakuza soldier) on the hunt for his missing boss that encounters Ichi (a psychotic killer of killers) that may hold the answers to all his sadistic questions. It's thrills and chills of the likes only Miike (with over 120 directing credits and counting) can orchestrate!  This movie has to be seen to be believed.  Join us in celebration of this insane and definitely weird movie!
