About this episode

The episode discusses the film 'Sadako vs. Kayako' and its implications for the J-Horror genre.

Byrd, Kevin, Tom, and Lux (with a cameo from Trev) follow up our Ju-On mega-pod with the film that pitted Kayako against J-Horror's other top star, the Ring's very own Sadako. While the film was originally announced as an April Fool's joke, the online excitement over the possibility left Kadakawa-Daiei Studio no choice but to bring the monster fantasy match to life. They recruited J-horror veteran Koji Shiraishi to write and direct. So does this crossover do justice to the two iconic ghosts? Listen and find out!
