(@tbevarietyshow) SHOWNOTES: That's right, fellow movie geeks; Collateral Cinema is back, and we've finally reached the final episode of Season One! On this season finale, Beau, Rob, and Ash decided to go full-on cult movie mode (again! Lol) as we review and analyze the absolutely batshit-insane 1991 martial arts/exploitation classic, Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky, which has the head exploding scene used on the Craig Kilborne-era of Comedy Central's Daily Show! This movie is legendary for its absolutely excessive gore, which soaks the screen (and its actors as well!) with more blood than you can shake a Deadite at, and the martial arts action that causes all the mayhem, as well as the amazingly exaggerated acting and dialogue, makes for a graphic experience that we'll always enjoy with every viewing. So join us, as we send off our first season with tons of gore, and more than a few ham-fisted performances!
