"By order of Queen Elizabeth, listen to my podcast!"
In this episode, we sit down to discuss Takashi Miike's 2001 film 'The Happiness of the Katakuris', a happy-go-lucky pop-rock musical about love, family, and suppressing the trauma that comes with serially burying dead bodies. We had lots of fun talking about Miike's 'elevated tackiness' aesthetic, and the clash between the film's various claymation sequences and its early-digital aesthetics. Listen in to hear us talk about this crazy, heartfelt cult classic!
ON THIS EPISODE: Harrison Hall, Kian Schmeer
