In this episode, we slide back into the comfortable world of yakuza flicks with Dustin’s pick as we once more discuss the beloved film star Joe Shishido. So join us as we check out Takashi Nomura’s A Colt Is My Passport from 1967. Jason celebrates the film’s composition while Dustin charts its importance in the scope of Shishido’s career at Nikkatsu. But before all that, we dish on some recent watches as a new documentary sends Jason back to a much-maligned Exorcist sequel and Dustin casts a wide net with some new releases, streaming surprises, and a few recent blu-ray pickups. And so much more!
