SHOWNOTES: We've elapsed that time of year again where we celebrate Collateral Cinema's anniversary with a film by the legendary Chad himself Takashi Miike! This time, we take a look at his entry for Showtime's 2006 Masters of Horror anthology TV series: "Imprint". Deemed too graphic and disturbing to air as planned, this episode embodies the dark side of Miike cinema with brazen depictions of torture and incorporation of transgressive subject matter. How does it compare against other credits in the subversive Japanese director's impressive film library? Find out Beau and Ash's thoughts in our Season Five #Miikeversary Special!
