June 2nd kicks off the month with ARROW's latest curation of Paul Joyce documentaries, this time looking at legendary filmmaker John Cassavetes, straight from the mouth of his friend and collaborator co-star Peter Falk (Columbo) in Out of the Shadows: The Films of John Cassavetes
After a six year directing hiatus, Monte Hellman sat down with Paul Joyce and just talked for an hour while Joyce filmed. The result is Plunging on Alone: Monte Hellman's Life In a Day.

June 2nd kicks off ARROW's Seasonswith Ero Guro (UK/IRE/US/CA): The Japanese sub-genre of horror and pink films Ero Guro combines the erotic (ero) and the grotesque (guro) to deviant, decadent and unforgettable effect. ARROW’s Ero Guro collection features the unholy trinity of core Ero Guro films, Teruo Ishii's Shogun's Joy of Torture and Horrors of Malformed Men and Yasuzo Masumura's Blind Beast, plus plenty more exciting, explicit and enticingly depraved delights to delve into.

On June 6, ARROW invites subscribers to Warriors Two (US/CA). After making his directorial debut with the intense The Iron-Fisted Monk and firmly solidifying his worth at Golden Harvest, Sammo Hung would be given more creative control behind the camera. Now able to inject more of his own personality, Hung would bring to life the more upbeat (yet only slightly less violent) Wing Chun cult classic: Warriors Two!
Predating the Ip Man tetralogy by three decades – as well as Hung’s own The Prodigal Son (starring Yuen Biao as the younger incarnation of Leung Tsan) by a few years – Warriors Two is one of the earliest films to authentically portray the teachings of Wing Chun while also delivering the kind of kinetic and pulse-pounding fights synonymous with the name Sammo Hung!

Matsuda was the definitive screen icon of 1980s until his career was tragically cut short by cancer at the age of 40, following his Hollywood debut in Ridley Scott’s Black Rain.
The Most Dangerous Game(UK/IRE/US/CA): In this career-defining triptych, Matsuda is Shohei Narumi, an ice cool hitman of few words, a steely trigger finger, and a heart of stone, hired in The Most Dangerous Game by a company bidding for a lucrative government air defence contract to take out the competition.
The Killing Game(UK/IRE/US/CA): Narumi finds himself caught in the midst of violent yakuza gang warfare, while his own brutal past catches up with him in the form of two beautiful women still bearing the emotional scars of his past assignments.
The Execution Game (UK/IRE/US/CA): Narumi falls for a mysterious saloon bar chanteuse who may or may not be part of the same, shadowy underworld organisation as the rival hitmen he is employed to rub out.

Introducing GenreOnlinenet on YouTube.

A YouTube companion to GenreOnline.net, my website/blog where I cover genre films and television as well as other media. I also make shorts and remixes of genre content for both educational and entertainment purposes and sometimes share personal videos about people and things in my life. When possible I post interviews I conducted with genre personalities in front of and behind the cameras. I am a fan of Rodney Dangerfield and Don Rickles and a lot of the classic comedy shows I grew up watching when I wasn’t viewing sci-fi and monster pictures so you’ll find an eclectic mix here, but please remember that genre entertainment is not just about swashbuckling adventures, bizarre mysteries, encounters with things out of the ordinary or romantic comedies. Every film is a genre film and in that respect GenreOnlinenet has great potential to serve a larger audience with an independent spirit and a glad heart. This channel is not for kids. Contact me in the comments. Be grateful. Not hateful. ​
