OMP 24: Audition (1999)

  • Summary

  • One Missed Pod is back! This week Zack and Kelly are talking about the Takashi Miike J-horror modern classic Audition (1999). The two discuss the film's use of violence, mystery, and sexism, but are particularly drawn to the unreliable narrator and dreamlike aspects of the film.

    Spoilers abound throughout the entirety of the episode.

    Audition was previously covered by Alyssa Miller for her The Haunted and the Sick column and you may enjoy reading that, too: Untreated Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in Takashi Miike’s Audition.

    At the time of this episode's recording, Audition is available to stream on Shudder, Arrow-Player, Tubi, asiancrush, and MUBI. It is available on Blu-ray from Arrow Video.

    The next episode of One Missed Pod will focus on Shohei Imamura's Vengeance is Mine (1979), a film which is mentioned in passing during talk about Audition. Vengeance is Mine is on DVD and Blu-ray from Criterion and can be streamed on the Criterion Channel.
