On this episode, Randy is joined by Grawlix Podcast co-host Melanie for a technology gone awry horror double feature! First up is the 2018 single-location horror thriller Await Further Instructions. Then we jump back 30 years to the 1988 hidden gem that is Pulse, starring Joey Lawrence! This pairing goes to show that even as technology has changed, fear stays the same. Enjoy!

The quest for revenge continues and if you’ve got to fight... fight dirty! The GCU boys are joined by Grawlix Podcast’s own Jesse Kiefer for a kung fu and karate double feature. First, they marvel at Sonny Chiba’s X-Ray karate chops and confusing morality in 1974’s The Street Fighter. Then the conclusion of Quentin Tarantino’s tale of the blood-soaked bride with Kill Bill Vol. 2.

In a first for the podcast our guest did NOT come with a cinematic universe pitch. Instead, Jesse presents a Street Fighter/Kill Bill mash-up by way of cartoon series. Complete with concept art! Behold the glory that is BB’s World, the saturday morning cartoon you never knew you wanted but after you hear Jesse’s pitch you will! Enjoy!

Two ladies, two movies, a whole lot of killing. This double feature review focuses on a pair of bad@$$ women who are out for blood. First on our hitlist is Lady Snowblood, the 1973 revenge classic directed by Toshiya Fujita, based on the manga series of the same name. This movie served as a clear inspiration for our second review, Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill Vol. 1 starring Uma Thurman. Enjoy!

It’s the penultimate episode of Season #Taran3no! Like in GCU #29 we once again find ourselves in the Old West. No mechanical spiders to be found, though. Just a massive ensemble of gunslingers, bounty hunters, civil war vets, and villainous varmints.

First in our adjective-numeral themed western double feature is a golden age Hollywood film about seven men – who fought like seven hundred. The Magnificent Seven starring Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, and Charles Bronson. To be clear, that’s the 1960 American remake of the classic Japanese film, Seven Samurai. Not the 2016 American remake of the 1960 American remake of the classic Japanese film, Seven Samurai.

It wouldn’t be Season #Taran3no without over-the-top violence and racial slurs, though. We also discuss a film about eight strangers who, quite frankly, are just not very friendly people. Of course, we’re talking about the cabin fever inducing Netflix extended cut of Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight. To even the odds on this magnificently hateful double feature we asked Matt D. of 60’s Reboot Podcast and Comics with my Kids to join us. Hold on, Daisy! I wanna watch!
