Ugotz Gantzed

     This week- Japanuary 2023 kicks off with two films about restless dead people.

     As an opposing army approaches, Genjuro, a potter, is blinded with dreams of profit. His neighbor, Tobei, dreams of improving his status by joining the samurai class. Soon their actions will bring unintended consequences for themselves and those around them. A reflection on the militarism, arrogance, and greed. One of the three films that popularized Japanese film in the West 70 years ago and a long time resident on the Sight & Sound poll... Ugetsu.
     It is five months after the events of GANTZ. Kurono has dedicated himself to earning the 100 points needed to resurrect his friend, Kato. When GANTZ sets a normal human girl as the next target. The team finds themselves divided against each other with a new stronger enemy on their heels. Fast sword fights and slow philosophical questions come to a conclusion in GANTZ: Perfect Answer.
     All that and Dave learns the error of his Crisco hubris, Tyler goes trick or treating, Kevin tries to bring last year to a close, and Craig squeegees off enough grease to fry a turkey. Join us, won't you?
