In this week's episode we get this week's movie introduced right away: It's Perfect stranger.
Apart from Yaguchi complaining when Halle Berry starts lifting up her skirts in one of the more suggestive scenes, and Haruki simultaneously mentions how he wants to see more, there is really not much interesting going on here. It's a movie trailer. Yaguchi does show a little insight though, informing us that despite Bruce Willis being in the movie, this really is a different kind of movie than Die Hard :P
Following this part there is a little small-talk, followed by a riddle-solving challenge. Yaguchi makes a "wisdom-circle" to ensure us we are dealing with a real brainiac, before before announcing the guest shown on last week's preview: Yamamoto Touru (山本徹).
He brings some huge, intertwined metal-bars which Haruki finds awfully heavy. This is just a start though. They have a section where they present lots of different stuff made of metal. Basically fooling around in studio with cryptic metal-constructions, and trying to get things evidently locked together apart. I'm sure it makes more sense when you see it.
Now the hosts are to figure these out. All going on while some counter in the background counts down for something earth-shattering to happen. And it doesn't look good. Well, no, it does look good, because I want to know what this earth-shattering thing is XD
Time is running out and while Yaguchi struggles with the simplest one and calling it "difficult", she kinda accuses Haruki of being stupid for not figuring out one of the harder ones XD
Movie covered this week is Taitei no tsurugi (大帝の剣, The great emperor's sword). While this one looks cheesy the way I usually like my movies, this one also seems a little bit too cheap for my taste, but feel free to have a look. Also featured is some Stephen King's short movie-series.
This week's recommended movie is Sukiyaki Western Django thing. Since we've already seen this on Yaguchi Hitori, there's really not much to say here.
In spirit of the movie, this weeks competition is a quick-draw competition. The prize this week is a Western Django Bandana signed by Quentin Tarantino, and for once Haruki seems genuinely interested. Guess I was wrong with my theory last week :P
Let's not be wrong about next week though: The preview look's pretty actiony with lots of potential for goof-ups with random blame placed at random hosts. I think I can dig that!
As for this episode... There's not really much happening, but still a pretty good watch, and easy to follow too! None of the hosts impress anyone with their problem-solving skills, but this makes for good chatter, and it's the small chatter between the hosts as they struggle that basically makes this episode.
As usual: Screenshots and torrent. Enjoy :)
