On this episode of The Gala Show, Gala chats with Japanese horror historian Jasper Sharp all about Matango (Attack of the Mushroom People). Jasper reveals to Gala his love of mycology, how Japanese horror evolved over the years, and why everyone should watch this flick — but first, a question about why he was drawn to Japanese cinema.

Jasper's documentary The J-Horror Virus is available now on Shudder.
