*Spoiler Alert*!!! This description and episode will spoil the movie if you haven't seen it!....you've been warned!
One Cut of the Dead
Pete's third selection of the take-over month was a bit of a bait and switch. While not necessarily a "horror movie" it is a movie about making a horror movie. "One Cut of the Dead" is a delightful and hilarious independent film from Japan. Made for about $25,000, the film went on to make over $25 million globally. The highlight of the film is the 37 minute one-shot to open the movie and while the second act was a slog to get through, the final payoff is magical. The biggest surprise of this episode is Nate's M. Night Shyamalan twist at the end. One Cut of the Dead is a HUGE recommend from Pete but what do the guys think about it?

Grotesque - Interview with Director Brandon Rhiness
Join Nate and Charlie as they try to sneak a special interview episode past Pete this month. The guys are joined by Brandon Rhiness who wrote and directed the movie 'Grotesque' now available on Tubi (man we love Tubi). Brandon talks about how this movie came to be, some behind the scenes info, as well as his career up to this point. Both Charlie and Nate really enjoyed the movie and have a blast digging into the creation of the character Mildred and all of the chaos that ensues after her "surgery".
Bonus: we find out some info on how movies get picked up for Tubi!
There are some mild spoilers in this episode but we definitely recommend you go watch 'Grotesque' 2022 so you can enjoy the glee we all had talking about the surprisingly high body count!

Robo Geisha - Action
The final selection for "The Month of Pete" is completely banana pants. It's bloody. It's weird. It's nonsensical. It's outrageous. It's a little naughty. It's ROBOGEISHA!!! If you like Japanese splatter films like Machine Girl and Meatball Machine than you're in for a treat. No joke. This one is really weird and the boys should be thankful I didn't make them watch Takashi Miike's Gozu instead. Boob guns! Butt swords. Circular Saw Jaw! A geisha that turns into a tank and crawls up a building! Temple Kaiju! What's not to love?
