LowResHOST
And, you know, I kept seeing similarities.
LowResHOST
This is a very different movie than Cure.
LowResHOST
But have you ever seen Cure? It's been a while.
LowResHOST
Kiyoshi Kurosawa's probably masterpiece
HansHOST
movie.
LowResHOST
It's
HansHOST
Cure.
HansHOST
And what's the other one? There's another one that's also.
BrittanyHOST
And I'm Ashley.
BrittanyHOST
And on this week's episode, we're discussing Cure from 1997, directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa.
BrittanyHOST
So this week in these episodes, we are in our J-horror bag.
BrittanyHOST
We have the bright idea to discuss two movies that, you know... kind of sparked off the J-horror trend in America.
BrittanyHOST
You know, Cure, which is a J-horror classic, and we're pairing it with The Ring from, I believe, 2004? 2002, wow.
BrittanyHOST
Which, you know,

Okay, so...
Quark HenaresHOST
I've been re-watching a lot of the Kiyoshi Kurosawa stuff.
Quark HenaresHOST
Cure?
Ramon de VeyraHOST
Yeah, Cure.
Ramon de VeyraHOST
And then
Quark HenaresHOST
I saw Serpent's Path, the original one for the first
Dave BuesingHOST
What is it?
Zach DeanHOST
Brand new, 2026, made by Kiyoshi Kurosawa, director of Cure.
Zach DeanHOST
Usually a horror director, Japanese horror guy, but this one is a kind of a slow, thinky, talky, political drama, and it was really good.
Zach DeanHOST
It was a...
Ian KillianHOST
Yeah.
Jordan MushnowHOST
I probably like it more than Cure last...
Jordan MushnowHOST
Or not Cure.
Jordan MushnowHOST
Um, what's the movie last year?
Ian KillianHOST
Cloud.
Ian KillianHOST
Okay.
Ian KillianHOST
I was gonna say-
Jordan MushnowHOST
Yeah, Cure's a-
Dennis BartokHOST
Uh, it has, it also has overtones, I think, of, of '60s Stanley Kubrick.
Dennis BartokHOST
It also reminds me of one of, uh, my favorite modern Japanese filmmakers, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, with films like Cure and Charisma.
Dennis BartokHOST
And I just think it's a really amazing movie that for some reason has...
Dennis BartokHOST
It's one of those films that has kind of slipped through, uh, you know, the cracks of film history, and for some reason was, as far as I can tell, never released here in the US until, like, we're able to collaborate now with, uh, the, uh, Danish Film Institute on putting it out.
TimHOST
Mine is one I've done before, but it'll be a key one ahead of next episode.
TimHOST
When we talk about Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Pulse, I would recommend you watch Cure.
TimHOST
It was my entryway into his filmography.
TimHOST
It is one of my very favorite movies.
ShaneHOST
I really liked it, so I would recommend people check it out.
ShaneHOST
I don't know if it's a good first Kiyoshi Kurosawa movie, 'cause Cure is so beloved, you know? But, uh, worth checking out.
ShaneHOST
And I had never, like, heard of it before, and I just saw it on the Criterion Channel and I threw it on, and I was like, "Oh, this is really good." So Charisma from 1999.
ShaneHOST
Uh, check it out.
BillHOST
What- uh, Kenny & Company was Chris', Avenging Force was Howard's.
BillHOST
This week we are doing Cure, which is also Howard's pick.
BillHOST
Um, probably should've swapped those up so we could've done them together for him, but instead he gets two weeks worth of shows.
BillHOST
Good for him.
BillHOST
I said that backwards, I apologize.
speaker_2SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It's the end of your fucking life, you motherfucking dog.
BillHOST
Cure is Chris's second pick.
ChrisHOST
Oh, okay.
JaiGUEST
Yeah

But yeah, I think it reflects-
