In this episode Rod and Adrian take a deep dive into the formerly lost Mario Bava crime film Rabid Dogs, aka 'Cani arrabbiati', aka 'Kidnapped', aka 'Semaforo rosso', aka 'L'uomo e il bambino'. They try to unpick the tricky post-production history, and Adrian posits the controversial opinion that all Stelvio Cipriani themes sound the same.

The new book on Bava mentioned in the show is Mario Bava: The Artisan as Italian Horror Auteur by Leon Hunt
