Scriptophobic editors Zack Long and Kelly Warner are massive Japanese horror fans. From the earliest silent films (A Page of Madness) to the latest incarnations of Ju-On, they’re obsessed with Japan’s output of horrific, spine-tingling tales.
And so they have decided to share this obsession with you through their new podcast, One Missed Pod. Each episode will cover a different film (or two!). From classics to dumpster fires, modern masterpieces to underappreciated gems, One Missed Pod will work its way through the genre in discussions fit for newcomers or old fans alike.
In the first two episodes, Zack and Kelly talk about the films that gave the podcast its namesake, the One Missed Call trilogy. Episode one focuses on Takashi Miike’s original film (released in 2003), while episode two takes a look at both Renpei Tsukamoto’s One Missed Call 2 (2005) and Manabu Aso’s One Missed Call: Final (2006). There’s also some commentary about the Hollywood remake from 2008 thrown in there for good measure.
(Please note that the audio quality on these first episodes is not the greatest. We discovered that Zencastr’s native echo cancellation setting results in audio data being dropped at times and have since corrected it. However, the first three episodes had already been recorded by the time this was discovered)
