2026/10/03

Welcome to episode 10 of the PinkCat Podcast. It's impossible to accurately discuss the history of Pink film without covering the rampant themes of sexual assault that have been a reoccurring theme that has plagued the late-60s output of Wakamatsu Pro. We have chosen to discuss Yasuharu Hasebe's Okasu! (1976) and Hisayasu Sato's Naked City (1990), which we believe are two excellent examples of how such sensitive subject matter can be examined in a way that focuses on the resulting trauma, rather

Welcome to episode 9 of the PinkCat Podcast. For this episode, we will be discussing Ho Meng-Hua's Black Magic (1975) & Black Magic 2 (1976). These two Shaw Brothers films helped to jumpstart the Hong Kong black magic subgenre which was a wave of exploitation horror that depicted taoist and Southeast Asian folklore. These films typically feature supernatural surrealism, rituals, curses, bugs, body horror, and lots of shocking content. We will be discussing how these early black magic films were

Welcome to the 8th episode of the PinkCat Podcast. On this episode, we will be discussing two films: Kōji Wakamatsu's Sex Family (1971) & Takashi Miike's Visitor Q (2001). After Visitor Q received a new blu-ray restoration from New Wave Video, we felt it was an opportunity to talk about the history of Japanese incest/sex family films as it is a prevalent theme in post-war Japanese cinema and erotica.Naomi (BjorkBoobah):LetterboxdAsian Cinema ShineInstagramVisp:LetterboxdInstagramTrevor (The Film

Welcome to episode 7 of the PinkCat Podcast. For our seventh episode, we will be discussing two films: Nun in Rope Hell (1984) and Golden Nun (1977). The former was recently released on Blu-ray by New Wave Video and is part of Nikkatsu's Roman Porno line, the latter however, isn't a retroactively rated Cat III. Instead, it's a bizarre Taiwanese horror film from the 70s. While Japanese cinema is home to many Nunsploitation films, China and Taiwan hardly have any. Instead, the
