Byrd, Lux, Matt and Kevin kick off our October Halloween episodes with a discussion about Nobuo Nakagawa's classic Jigoku (aka Japanese Hell, aka Inferno, aka Sinners of Hell) from 1960.  The film follows two friends who accidentally kill a yakuza in a hit and run.  It just so happens that they're also surrounded by other horrible people and when they all die, they meet in the afterlife and have to endure several circles of hell.  This surreal and nightmarish vision of hell was the final film made by the dying Shintoho classic and has influenced other artists such as Takashi Miike, Gasper Noe, Hideo Kojima, and Kiyoshi Kurosawa.  In addition to our thoughts on the film, we also give a news roundup that includes Toho's monster election for a future Godzilla short, rumors of the next Japanese Godzilla film, and Kevin's spoiler-free thoughts on Godzilla Minus Zero.  Enjoy!
