Japan On Film
We Made This
Anime, kaiju, J-horror, exploitation, and everything in between—Japan has been producing some of the most interesting and creative movies for decades. In this show, author and Japanese film lecturer Perry Constantine and his guests will introduce you to the wide, wonderful, and sometimes weird world of Japanese films. We not only review, but also use these movies to provide some education on Japanese society, history, and culture.
Categories: TV & Film
Listen to the last episode:
Author Frank Schildiner returns to the show for the final episode of the season. This time, we discuss Shinya Tsukamoto’s serial killer thriller, Nightmare Detective. Though it has some unique ideas and impressive filmmaking, there are some shortcomings that we discuss.
Thanks so much for listening to this season of Japan On Film! We’re going to go on a hiatus, but we’ll be back in a few months with more great discussions about Japanese movies. And if you’re interested in being a guest yourself, please visit the website to find out more information.
Hosted by Perry Constantine
Guest-Starring Frank Schildiner
