Hosts Josh and Jamie and special guest Trace Sauveur discuss videotape J-horror procedurals involving supernatural folklore with a double feature of Hideo Nakata's ghostly slow-burn cursed videotape horror-drama RINGU (1998) and Koji Shiraishi's paranormal, conspiratorial found footage/mockumentary demon-horror film NOROI: THE CURSE (2005).
