Episode 262 - BTTB Presents: Tales of Horror - “Audition”
About this episode
Join us as we dive into Takashi Miike’s cult classic Audition, a chilling fusion of romance and nightmare from 1999. We explore how Miike crafts a deceptively calm setup that unfolds into one of Japanese horror’s most infamous knife-edge reveals. We discuss performance masterclass from Ryo Ishibashi and Eihi Shiina, the film’s unsettling atmosphere, and its lasting impact on the genre. If you’re curious how a slow-burn premise can explode into pure terror, this episode is for you.
