We Finish up our Yokai Monsters 2 Week Discussion with the last 2 movies this week. We discuss Along With Ghosts (1969) Where a young girl is hunted by a gang who just killed her grandfather. She's set to find her father she never met and the Yokai lend her a hand. Then we take on the one of the newer takes on Yokai Monsters w/ Takashi Miike's The GREAT YOKAI WAR (2005). Where a young boy is chosen to be the hero of the world and becomes a hero with the help of some Yokai to take on the the modern menace in Tokyo. This concludes the Arrow Video Set that we bought and reviewed ourselves. Even though there is a newer Yokai movie by Miike we discuss in this episode! JOIN US!

We are going all the way back to 1968 this week!? WHA!? Yep. With the new Arrow Released Collection called the Yokai Monsters Collection. It contains the Original 60's trilogy and the Takashi Miike The Great Yokai War (2005). This week we start with a pretty long intro for you guys. We talk about spoiler free about Dashcam a little bit, the controversy about it, how Alex lost a friend over it. Then we discuss Stranger Things and what we thought of the first half of the 4th season. Then we jump into a brief history of what Yokai are. The history of them and how significant they are in Japan and the world now. Plus obviously our Reviews of 100 Monsters (1968) Part 1 of the Yokai Monsters Trilogy and then the 2nd film Spook Warfare (1968). We cover the last film next week with the remake by Miike. So join us for some interesting movies from the past! JOIN US!
