SHOWNOTES: It's that time of year again! Collateral Cinema is celebrating our anniversary with another Takashi Miike film: Visitor Q! This black comedy features a number of disturbing taboos while showcasing the benefits of digital video, in a realistic documentary-style juxtaposed with surrealist bizarre events. Beau, Ash, and Dakota discuss Miike's approach to social commentary through shock value—comparing and contrasting the direction of this title with other Takashi Miike movies we've featured on the podcast—and ultimately just how fucked up this film is! Just listen. You'll know what we mean.
