GGP 186: Rated D for Dancing Ghosts, Dial-Up Dimensions, and Disappearing Denizens AKA PULSE (2001)

Beware of dial-up connections, because this week we're covering the 2001 tech horror PULSE from writer-director Kiyoshi Kurosawa. The movie follows two groups of Tokyo residents who find their world invaded by existential dread and internet ghosts.

We'll have a brief summer break after Sidetracks and then we'll be back with some cool surprises!

If you want to help Katie pay for Gizmo's surgery or just like cool art, follow the link in our "Research Links" section.

Thanks for listening and stay spoopy ya'll!
