For the fourth movie in our Japan leg of our tour of Asian movies, we watch a lesser known collection of three short films by famed animator and manga-ka Katsuhiro Otomo. Does this series of shorts live up to the same quality set by him earlier with Akira? Also, what does each episode bring to the table? Find out on this long awaited episode of the Midnight Filmclub.

This week we dive into the absolutely messed up mind of Takeshi Miike, one of Japan’s weirdest and grossest filmmakers for a look at the movie Audition, a movie that has gained cult status for its absolutely different take on the horror genre. We don't really know what else to say with this one because this movie just kind of needs to be seen to be believed.

This week we dive into a niche Japanese comedy from 2001, Waterboys, which is the story of a bunch of misfit students accidentally getting themselves stuck doing a synchronized swimming routine for their school culture festival. Wacky hi-jinx ensue as the boys with no experience have to race against time to become proficient performers before they have to hit the pool.

This week we start our second season of the Midnight Filmclubs tour of Asia. Starting this week with a classic from Japan is the hit 2000 movie Battle Royale. Does this movie stand the test of time, or was it just a shock value flick from the past twenty years? This week we have brought on a very special guest, our friend Jordan to talk about this cult classic film.

Come on in the water is great! Well, maybe not as great as we remember. This week we get flushed through time so strap in, prepare your cassette players and put on those leg warmers as we take a look at the 2010 Steve Pink comedy Hot Tub Time Machine.
