Ahoy hoy #oldtimers and welcome to another sadistically woeful, but nonetheless exciting episode of ATGB! This week we are joined by Zedd Simpson Smith to talk about Miike's 1999 J-Horror classic Audition.

To being, Troy dives into questions for Zedd pertaining to content curation, creating films for ourselves, and talk foundational film influences that inspires deeper understandings of the medium at large!

Moving on, these two new mates talk all about Audition by running through the plot, accentuating motifs and thematics, and end it all with a box office game and the shedding of negative ideations. "You may think I am desperate... I was longing for your podcast. I didn't think I would see you again. Sorry, I'm pretty excited. Podding alone was a hassle, I have nobody to talk to. You are the first one... Who is really warmhearted and tries to accept me and tries to understand who I really am."
