In this episode, we continue our Extreme Horror extravaganza with Dustin’s regular trip to Japan, circling us back around to the first episode to talk a bit more in depth about the infamous Guinea Pig series. Join us as we check out Hideshi Hino’s Mermaid in the Manhole which may be the fourth, fifth or sixth entry in the series depending on who you talk to (and don’t worry, we get into all that too). We also dive into and discuss a bit about both the career of Hideshi Hino and the ero guro subgenre. And so much more!
