The coats are conversing with one of the greats in the world of giallo: Michael Mackenzie. Michael is an author and senior producer at Arrow Films who wrote his inspiring 2013 PhD thesis titled: "Gender, Genre, and Sociocultural Change in the Giallo: 1970-1975" (disregard the 'pretentious' title as he calls it). He is incredibly well researched in the history and lore of giallo and was a fantastic guest to chat with. You can read the thesis in the show notes of this episode or go to his website: https://www.mrmackenzieauthor.com for all his most recent work.

The Coats are strutting their stuff all over Luciano Ercoli's 1971 giallo: "Death Walks on High Heels". A classic Ernesto Gastaldi plot-line filled with: diamonds, heels, piercing blue eyes, and a splash of comedy; all set to a jazzy Stelvio Cipriani score. Will these shoes fit on the Coats? Or will they grab their purses and walk out the door?

Director
 - Luciano Ercoli
Starring
 - Nieves Navarro (Susan Scott)

The coats are catching all the butterflies of Duccio Tessari's 1971 giallo: "The Bloodstained Butterfly". The first of director Tessari's giallos (he's done three) that the coats have covered on the podcast. Atypical from other giallos, when the investigation leads into the courtroom to become a procedural drama. Will this film have the coats flying high with the butterflies or banging their gavels in disapproval?

Director
 - Duccio Tessari
Starring
 - Helmut Berger

The coats are cruising across Mario Bava's 1971 giallo: "A Bay of Blood". Also known as: Ecology of Crime; Twitch of the Death Nerve; Carnage; Chain Reaction; and Blood Bath; this is by far Mario Bava's most gruesome film that the coats have encountered. What's more, this giallo is credited with being a major influence on the slasher sub-genre. With so many names and such a storied history will it raise the coats' eyebrows or will it sink to the bottom of the Bay? Listen now to find out!

Director
 - Mario Bava
Starring
 - Luigi Pistilli

The coats are crawling around Dublin on the hunt, not for beer, but for Riccardo Freda's 1971 giallo: "The Iguana With the Tongue of Fire". Perhaps the only giallo ever set in Ireland, this film is filled with red herrings, acid-throwing, and even an anecdote about Iguanas; who would've expected that?! Will this giallo have the coats singing its praises or breathing fire? Listen now and see if you concur.

The coats are climbing into the crypt to get to the bottom of Emilio P. Miraglia's 1971 giallo: "The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave". Milk stains, carnivorous foxes, and undead redheads adorn this giallo; with a promising premise and twists and turns that spin your skull-faced head around. Will this semi-fantastique giallo breathe life into the coats? Or will they dig it a new grave?! Listen now.

The coats are chasing tails and cracking cases in Sergio Martino's 1971 giallo: "The Case of the Scorpion's Tail". A jet-set giallo with $1 million on the line, after a widow tries to cash in on her husband's death in a tragic plane accident; naturally, bodies begin piling up. The second giallo by Martino the coats have covered. With a cast of giallo regulars and a screenplay by the humble Ernesto Gastaldi, will this cement Martino as the 4th head on the Mt. Rushmore of giallo? Or will the coats need more coaxing? Listen now!

The coats are hanging in the freezer as they discuss Mario Bava's 1970 giallo: "Five Dolls for an August Moon".

Pour yourself a glass and listen now!
