In this episode, Ollie and I take a look at a once-forgotten, now-remembered Hammer Classic, “The Plague of the Zombies!” Is there a plague? No! Are there zombies? Hecks to the yes! Is it good? Oh, you betcha!

Do you know what’s 2 Spoopy 4 Me? Dead kids! This week, Ollie and I look at the deadliest of dead kids in Mario Bava’s “Kill Baby, Kill” from 1966. Of course, you may know “Kill Baby, Kill” better as “Curse of the Dead” or “Curse of the Living Dead” or “Operation: Fear!” or “The Dead Eyes of Dr. . . . Dracula?” Seriously? What the heck, international distributors?

Oh boy, were Ollie and I ever looking forward to this one! Yes sir! So glad it . . . happened. This episode is all about Frankenstein(‘s Monster’s Heart Recipient) (not) conquering the World! It’s about a giant boy who kills dogs and a man crawling around on all fours. Enjoy.

She did the mask. She did the MONSTER MASK! Ollie and I talk about masks and war and sex and tree humping. It’s 1964’s “Onibaba!”

Boy oh boy! Ollie and I tackle 1964’s “Kwaidan” and . . . it’s a long one. Like, the movie and the episode.

These are the stories that inspired “Kwaidan” so you can hear them before the episode on “Kwaidan.” Make sense?

How do you make the possibility of total global nuclear annihilation seem funny? You just sit down and tell the truth. Stanley Kubrick mined a lot of comedy out of the absurdity of the Cold War in 1964’s “Dr. Strangelove, or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb.” Do Ollie and I mine a lot of entertainment out of our discussion? Eh?

This episode, Ollie and I are back in Kurosawa country with the multi-layered “High and Low.” We look at this seemingly innocuous kidnapping thriller and delve into what was happening in Japan that informed Kurosawa’s telling of the story. It’s quite a trip!

This week, I take a look at the unusual – and unusually neglected – film “The Fallen Idol” by the team that brought us “The Third Man” just a year later. It’s intense, frustrating and a wonderful film.
