“Here comes Chekov’s sack!”

The panel of peril scrub themselves down with a wire brush and bleach having already watched this week’s film, Audition (Takashi Miike, 1999).

Shigeharu Aoyama (Ryo Ishibashi) is a single parent with his own, successful, film production company. He is also extremely lonely. Knowing this, his friend Yasuhisa arranges for a film audition to double as an interview process for a romantic partner for Shigeharu, unbeknownst to the women. Or is it? Taking a shine to Asami Yamazaki (Eihi Shiina), the widower may get more than he bargained for after a brief getting to know you period. Oh my, yes.

********PLOT SPOILER ALERT********

She’s insane guys. She’s absolutely insane. Asami enjoys nothing more than paralysing men with poison, before dissecting them slowly for her own amusement. Seriously, do not watch this one if you are averse to explicit gore. How can Shigeharu possibly escape the clutches of Asami once tangled in her web?

What the actual flip did the panel make of this one? How the actual flip can they improve upon the villain’s dastardly scheme? And who the actual flip will be victorious in this week’s competition?
