CalibanHOST
And there are plenty of actual folklorical Japanese monsters who have hair attacks, like the Onryo, who Mika told us about in Sailor Noob Classic Episode 62.
CalibanHOST
These are long-haired ghosts of women seeking vengeance, seen on the silver screen in the form of Sadako from The Ring or Kayako from Ju-on, or Sadako and Kayako from Sadako vs. Kayako, the Freddy vs. Jason of J-Horror.
CalibanHOST
Whoever wins, we lose.
CalibanHOST
So we're in good hands here, tropically, but Beryl's never done this before.
GriffeyHOST
Is
SamHOST
Ringu
GriffeyHOST
witchcraft?
SamHOST
Yeah, that's what I was thinking, too.
SamHOST
The ring, is that witchcraft? Because she has visions and this and that, but they have, like...
SamHOST
No,
GriffeyHOST
Ringu.
GriffeyHOST
Ringu.
ShaheenHOST
It's a remake of the Japanese original.
ShaheenHOST
I have the remake of The Ring, which was called Ringu in Japan.
ShaheenHOST
I love this movie, and I think it's so much better than the original.
ShaheenHOST
And everyone disagrees with me because Ringu is adored.
ShaheenHOST
Yeah.
ShaheenHOST
I kind of find Ringu kind of boring, to be honest with you.
ShaheenHOST
It didn't really do anything for me.
ShaheenHOST
Same with The Grudge.
Michael David WilsonGUEST
Yeah.
Dan RobertsHOST
Well, I think fundamentally, um, it's intriguing from the perspective of a person from the outside moving to Japan and fundamentally, um, the, well, I'll say this, obviously the ring and, um, the one with Sarah Michelle Keller, which, uh, with a hand reaching out of her head, um, The one with Sarah Michelle Gellar is at least an example of what you're talking about.
Dan RobertsHOST
The Ring and what's the one with Jennifer Connelly?
Michael David WilsonGUEST
Jennifer Connelly.
Michael David WilsonGUEST
I think I know, but I'm going to research because I don't want to embarrass myself.
Dan RobertsHOST
No, maybe The Ring is the one with Jennifer Connelly.
Michael David WilsonGUEST
Yeah, because I'm more familiar with the kind of original source material.
Michael David WilsonGUEST
So I'm...
GilHOST
If y'all
ZachHOST
want to allow this, you can, but I would say a movie like, for instance, The Ring and Ringu would not qualify because they were made within like two years of each other and it was just an American remake.
ZachHOST
It wasn't a modern remake of a classic horror movie.
ZachHOST
If you guys really want to do that, we can, but I would say, pick something that came out like in
ScarahHOST
I love Japanese horror.
ScarahHOST
I love Ringu.
ScarahHOST
I love Ju-on.
ScarahHOST
I love The Audition, which is one that I'm considering showing as the first movie that I screen with subtitles at my show.
AshtonAUDIENCE
Whoa, this is way far.
ScarahHOST
Ju-on, Ringu, The Audition, Oldboy.
ScarahHOST
There's a lot of Japanese horror that I like.
ScarahHOST
If I can't find a Halloween-themed horror movie, Ju-on would be a great one.
BryanHOST
In his review of the film for The New York Times, Elvis Mitchell, uh, said that the...
BryanHOST
Noted the way the film develops the mood, finding it part of the cycle of Japanese, Japanese films like Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Cure and Hideo Nakata's Ring.
BryanHOST
Uh, that's the original The Ring-
KatieHOST
Mm-hmm
BryanHOST
...
NathanHOST
And this is the podcast where we talk about two movies a week, every Tuesday and Thursday.
NathanHOST
And this Tuesday, we are talking about Ring from 1998.
NathanHOST
Not The Ring, as I've been calling it forever.
NathanHOST
That is what the American remake is called.
NathanHOST
It is just Ring.
NathanHOST
We are talking about the Japanese original from 1998.
NathanHOST
Yeah, I mean, just getting right into this movie, I guess I've heard about this movie for a very long time, probably one of the most popular horror movies ever made.
NathanHOST
I remember being a kid on the playground at school.
Nadia OxfordHOST
I mean, it fucks me up, but I like it.
Nadia OxfordHOST
I mean, no, the original ring, it's okay.
Nadia OxfordHOST
Ringu is, I think that's much scarier.
Victor HunterHOST
Okay, no, when I say the ring.
Victor HunterHOST
So Ringu, this is a pet peeve in the J-horror world because it has only ever been called Ringu in North America.
Nadia OxfordHOST
I know, kind of to distinguish it, I figured.
Victor HunterHOST
Yeah, but there is...
Victor HunterHOST
They've made it worse with the recent Hero video collections that call it Ringu.
Shane HawkGUEST
I know it came out a bit later, but did you
Steve BeckerHOST
try it again with Ringu?
Shane HawkGUEST
No. No.
Shane HawkGUEST
And it's funny because back then, even adults weren't sure that that movie was real or not, right? Because the internet was still kind of nascent for any discovery of facts, really.
