Episde 583: Black Lizard (1962)

Special Guest: Earl Jackson
Guest Co-Hosts: Carol Borden, Samm Deighan

Carol Borden (The Cultural Gutter) and Samm Deighan (Twitch of the Death Nerve) join Mike to discuss two adaptations of Edogawa Rampo's Kurotokage. The 1962 was adapted by Kaneto Shindô and directed by Umetsugu Inoue while the 1968 was adapted by Masashige Narusawa and directed by Kinji Fukasaku. Both were based on the stage play version by Yukio Mishima.

Professor Earl Jackson discusses the strange bedfellows behind these amazing films about a criminal mastermind who squares off against the Japanese Sherlock Holmes.
