Guyver-Mania!

Byrd, Matt and guest host Tom delve into Japan's premier cyber-punk superhero, the Guyver!  We discuss the films The Guyver (1990) and The Guyver: Dark Hero (1994).  These two American adaptations of the Japanese manga/anime franchise combined body horror, Japanese tokusatsu hero aesthetics and the dark superhero cinema of 1990s Hollywood.  How successful were these bio-punk oddities?  We get into that, but first, as a primer, we also have some conversation on other aspects of the Guyver franchise, including the manga and anime.  Enjoy the discussion!
