Apologies in advance for the poorer than usual sound quality, but it is being rectified as we speak in time for the next episode. For our last horror-themed episode of the season, the great Gabe Powers of DVDActive.com (and guest contributor to our site) returns once again to talk about the incredibly influential horror director Mario Bava. This is our 2nd episode on Bava, as there is still so much to cover. We focus on his take on the anthology film BLACK SABBATH as well as what is considered the first Giallo film, BLOOD AND BLACK LACE. We later expand upon a couple more of his other films as well. In addition, Gabe talks about THE HAUNTED PALACE, and both Jim and Patrick reignite and strike another fast-paced Director’s Club Lightning Round!

In about two weeks, we will be talking with Chris Olson about one of Jim’s favorite directors, Nicholas Winding-Refn. Please do leave us a voicemail to play on the show as well at 224-366-9528. If you’re a movie blogger/podcaster and would like a guest spot on the show to talk about a filmmaker whose work you admire. Thanks again for listening and be sure to check out our updated upcoming schedule in the sidebar to see which directors we’ll be talking about soon!
