SHOWNOTES: It's that time again! Celebrating 3 years and 4 seasons of being the only movie podcast that matters(!), and per our annual tradition, we are analyzing another Takashi Miike film: the 2003 horror comedy crime flick Gozu! This obscure yakuza pic inspired by Japanese urban legends is 1 part unsettling and 2 parts just...  weird. There's plenty for hosts Beau, Robert, and Ash to unpack here as we celebrate our podcast anniversary!
