In this episode, love is in the air and for the special occasion of Valentine’s Day, we return once more into the wild world of Nikkatsu’s Roman Porno series. Dustin has selected a fitting companion piece for the block of films we covered last year and that leads us once again to the amazing star power of Naomi Tani paired with the direction of Masaru Konuma. So join us as we check out Wife to Be Sacrificed from 1974. Jason weighs the film’s light plot against his feelings for the subgenre in the wake of exploring several films. Dustin excitedly fills out a conspiracy board’s worth of connections between this film and other movies we have covered prior. But before all that, Jason ponders the cursed phenomenon of the half-remembered movie. And so much more!
