Scott and Brian welcome special guest Mark Gagliardi to the show for Takashi Miike's dark musical comedy, Happiness Of The Katakuris (2002). Mark learns about Japanese culture the hard way: from two idiots just making it up. And just what is up with that cherub fetus, anyway? ----------------- podkashimiikast@gmail.com twitter.com/PodkashiMiikast www.facebook.com/Podkashimiikast/ Special Guest: twitter.com/MarkGags

Scott and Brian announce the subject of their next episode, Happiness Of The Katakuris. Scott is inspired to sing a haunting ballad and Brian pairs a beer with the film. WARNING: contains SPOILERS for the current season of Game of Thrones, for some reason.

Scott and Brian delve into the madcap and surreal second Ultraman Max episode directed by Takashi Miike. In episode 16, "Who Am I?", Japan is attacked by the Space Monster Cats, and everyone loses their memories. Can the seemingly incompetent Team DASH come to their senses in time to save the day? ----------------- podkashimiikast@gmail.com twitter.com/PodkashiMiikast www.facebook.com/Podkashimiikast/
