About this episode
Hideo Nakata’s Ring became an international sensation and Gore Verbinski’s American remake kicked off a whole slew of American remakes of Japanese horror. Special guest host Sam LeGassick of A New Winter: Cults & Culture podcast joins Perry to discuss both the original and the remake. Find out just how much effort and care was put into translating this very Japanese story into an American context and some of the different aspects of their respective societies both movies choose to highlight. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/japanonfilm/message
