We’re nearly ready to wrap up December – and 2021! Subscribe to our Patreon for tons of additional content! We just discussed Jay Baruchel’s Random Acts of Violence and fantastic UK genre flick Get Duked! and next week we’re doing an audio commentary on Urban Legend. It’s also textbook Freudian psychosexual, right down to those red heels.Ĭome for Michael’s impassioned defense of dubbing in Gialli, stay for Trace’s love of the doberman sequence (the Helen Shivers of giallo setpieces!), then leave for Michael’s terrible dad jokes.Ĭoming up on Wednesday: We’re reappraising Camilla Belle’s “acting” talent in lesbian director Jamie Babbit’s The Quiet. Tenebrae is also a surprisingly queer positive text from the master of horror, from the casual inclusion of a lesbian couple in the film’s most notorious set piece to the casting of trans actress Eva Robins. This is another video nasty ( see our episode on Island of Death), so it’s got a convoluted production history that includes censorship and rumored on-set tension between Argento and frequent collaborator Daria Nicolodi.
On this week’s episode, Joe, Trace and special returning guest Michael Varrati board a plane to Rome to discuss the pod’s very first Dario Argento film, 1982 (or is it 1984?)’s Tenebrae. You can subscribe on iTunes/Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, iHeartRadio, SoundCloud, TuneIn, Acast, Google Podcasts, and RSS.Įpisode 89 – Tenebrae (1982) feat. Or could it be one of the film’s plentiful supporting cast: twinky Gianni ( Christian Borromeo), lesbian film critic Tilde ( Mirella D’Angelo), or TV personality Berti ( John Steiner)?īe sure to subscribe to the podcast to get a new episode every Wednesday.
Is it Neal’s assistant, Anne (Argento’s frequent collaborator and former flame, Daria Nicolodi)? Is it his agent, Bullmer ( John Saxon, sporting a great hat)? Is it Neal’s ex-wife, Jane ( Veronica Lario)? In the film, American crime novelist Peter Neal ( Anthony Franciosa) and his titular book are tied to a series of gruesome Freudian murders and everyone is a suspect! After a busy “Vacation” themed month filled with cave diving, as well as trips to exotic Mykonos, Fiji and the Muskokas up in Canada, it’s time for some R’n’R in beautiful Rome with Dario Argento‘s Tenebrae.
