Halloween Horror Knights Discuss Horror Films in a Tesla

After a quick chat about new Dragon Ball updates, Hajime No Ippo and Godzilla events in November, and how little Men require to be happy (opinion), we break format and talk about HORROR. Despite this being an anime podcast, we're both huge horror hounds. Join as we discuss our histories with the genre, some of our gateway films, and the quest to find media that scares us as much as the stuff we watched when we were kiddos. And of course, we do mention Junji Ito (arguably the greatest horror mangaka) and the Suitmation Trials (an analog Horror inspired by Godzilla). Slide on, my friends.    Please rate the show on your podcast platform of choice!   Edited by Michael D Rowland.   Opening/Closing by Stu Rosenberg.    Follow us on Instagram: @dermot.akiraslide   00:00 - Anime Newz: Godzilla’s Birthday Month + new Burning Godziller, New Dragon Ball projects, Hajime No Ippo “Dynamite Glove 2025” Event 31:18 - Mike Jallah has not been in “Anime Mode”+ is “Tron: Ares” good? 36:00 - What drives Michael crazy about Jujutsu Kaisen? 41:09 - Favorite Horror Films Discussion Begins 43:24 - Did Scary Stories have a place in our childhoods? 47:43 - Gateway Horror: the “Nightmare on Elm Street” franchise 51:03 - “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” vs. “Goosebumps” 53:19 - “Child’s Play” series 56:01 - Jallah’s Influential Horror Films (Pan’s Labyrinth, Hills Have Eyes, Saw…) 01:09:57 - The “Found Footage” subgenera discussion (Blair Witch, Paranormal Activity) 01:21:38 - Can we ever watch Horror the same as we did as kids? + Michael’s Faves (The Thing, Wicker Man (1973), House/Hausu, Ring/Ringu, Martyrs, Alien, Event Horizon) 01:32:29 - Ari Aster, Audition, Tale of Two Sisters… 01:37:13 - Michael’s Never in the Mood in October… 01:39:51 - Mike Flanagan and Comedy-Horror (Cabin in the Woods, Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Teeth) 01:49:18 - Jordan Peele chat (Get Out, Us, Nope) + Horror Manga + Final Horror Thoughts + Analog Horror (Backrooms, Oldest View, Suitmation Trials)
