Episode description
Byrd, Matt and guest host Tom delve into Japan's premier cyber-punk superhero, the Guyver! We discuss the films The Guyver (1990) and The Guyver: Dark Hero (1994). These two American adaptations of the Japanese manga/anime franchise combined body horror, Japanese tokusatsu hero aesthetics and the dark superhero cinema of 1990s Hollywood. How successful were these bio-punk oddities? We get into that, but first, as a primer, we also have some conversation on other aspects of the Guyver franchise, including the manga and anime. Enjoy the discussion!
