Joe and Graham from Films at First Sight join Caitlin to cover 1999's Audition. Takashi Miike is a memorable director, and Audition is an unforgettable movie. Some view it as a feminist take on revenge; others view at as misogyny put to screen. Regardless of where you land, we can all agree that Asami is an iconic figure within the monstrous feminine and that Audition is damn scary. We expound on the film's themes of love, loneliness, depravity, and surrealism, and we like that we've grown to see the movie with new eyes. And we can't believe Joe's parents watched it.
Tangents include: Joe's 40th, hair cuts, the "male loneliness epidemic," mojo dojo casa houses, rock stars, TV, sandwiches, morning vs night showers, choppable toes, crackers, and Daphne du Maurier.
