SHOWNOTES: Frank from Geek Freaks joins us once more for Bad Movie December! This year, we are covering two films: Samurai Cop, the 1991 direct-to-video film that attained a cult following, and its indie sequel crowdfunded in 2015, Samurai Cop 2: Deadly Vengeance. Starring the likes of Mathew Karedas, Robert Z'Dar, Mark Frazer, and even Tommy fucking Wiseau himself, these two so-bad-it's-good flicks have somehow passed us by over the years despite being exactly the Collateral Cinema bailiwick! Happy New Year and stay tuned for our anime content this January, as we discuss The Last: Naruto the Movie and Ghost in the Shell!
