Jaume Balaguero's Venus is one of the best horror films of 2023 but not many people are talking about it. So I invited writer, musician, and podcaster Evan Dean Shelton on to spread the gospel of Venus.

Today's MAS is about G.I. Samurai. A film about modern-day soldiers who get transported back in time and decide to conquer feudal Japan. They battle Samurai clans using machine guns, grenades, a tank, and a helicopter. It's as awesome as it sounds. Watch G.I. Samurai for free on YouTube here.

Today's episode is about Noboru Tanaka's Village of Doom. A movie based on The Tsuyama Massacre of 1938, when a 21-year-old man from Japan killed 30 people and injured 3 using a Browning shotgun, a katana sword, and an axe. After all the murders, he killed himself with two bullets in his chest.

This ain't about the Usher song.

MAS has dropped every week for an entire year. 52 weeks. 54 episodes. I guess this is a milestone for the podcast. But it's business as usual over here. In this week's episode, I talk about the controversial exploitation film Calamity Of Snakes. Fair warning, if animal cruelty upsets you (which it should), you might want to stay far away from this movie. That said, I feel it's a film worthy of discussing at the very least. If you're a fan of insane cinema this episode is for you.

On today's MAS I discuss Guzoo: The Thing Forsaken by God (Part I) directed by Kazuo Komizu. You can watch the movie for free on Youtube beforehand if you want. Or not. Guzoo can't be spoiled regardless.

I went to see Shin Kamen Rider. This is the episode about it.

It's season three of MAS. I'm shifting the direction of the show a little. More solo episodes. More extreme cinema/art. To kick things off, I'll be discussing Olaf Ittenbach's SOV (shot on video) splatter film The Burning Moon.

The big five oh. Episode number fifty. MAS is no longer a baby podcast. So it's appropriate that we discuss a film about infanticide. Today I talk with return guest Peter Dragovich about Subconscious Cruelty.

Today's episode of MAS I talk with return guest Drew Bolduc about the 2010 film Mutant Girls Squad, directed by Yoshihiro Nishimura, Noboru Iguchi, and Tak Sakaguchi.

We also talk about growing up in Tokyo, moving to America, Japan's samurai identity, intimacy coordinators, making a film in 4 days, manga, otakus, Takashi Ishii, Kihachi Okamoto, AI art, breaking the 4th wall, Shinzo Abe's assassination, the Tokyo subway gas attack, art influencing violence with art, and his next film Lion-Girl. I had a great time talking with Mitsutake san and think this is the best episode to date of the podcast.

I went and saw Scream 6. These are my thoughts about the movie on the drive home from the theater. I kept it spoiler free except for the opening scene. Also left in my reactions to the trailers that played before Scream 6.

The subject of today's episode is a book published in 1971. That book is The Naked Soul Of Iceberg Slim by Robert Beck (aka Iceberg Slim himself). I invited Duvay Knox, author of The Pussy Detective (Clash books), to talk about it and Iceberg Slim.

I intended for this to be a short "Off A Bean" episode for the MAS Patreon. But I decided to release it as a regular episode. So it's kinda both. In this hybrid episode, I talk about Frank Miller and Geof Darrow's Hard Boiled. It's a violent cyberpunk masterpiece.
