Wild, Wild Podcast

It's time for our epic journey across the irradiated wastelands to come to an end, so what better film to bring things to a satisfying conclusion than The Final Executioner? Join Rod and Adrian as they struggle to find anything positive to say about this late entry in the pastapocalypse cycle whilst still remaining upbeat. This is a film that even it's mother would have left out there in the desert to fend for itself, but there is action and the occasional bit of funky synth, so it's not all bad.

You can watch the film on YouTube if you want to see what you've been missing.

This film is about a man called Rage. His name is on the poster and everything. But is he actually full of rage? Or is he just a bit annoyed at being mildly inconvenienced by the post-apocalypse? There may have been nuclear war, but it hasn't stopped him being able to get a really good haircut or from going to the gym. It's hard to see what's got him so cross. Let's see if we can find out. Join us for this latest episode as we get ripped with Rage and slashed with Slash, and head out once more into the forbidden lands in search of whatever it is they need this time, with only a gun and a girl in hot pants for company. Standard military issue hot pants.

Strap your motorcycle helmet on, rev your engines, grab your weapons and head into Rome's New Colosseum where violent death is just seconds away! Yes, Rod and Adrian are once again dressing up in leather to face the nightmarish futures of Italian cinema, and in this episode it's a future brought to you by none other than the Godfather of Gore himself, Lucio Fulci. Many aspects of the film are discussed, including when is a post-apocalypse not a post-apocalypse, and Adrian gets sidetracked by the brief pop career of its female lead and Playmen cover model, Eleonora Brigliadori. Once you've heard Balla Il Tip Tap you may find yourself wishing for the apocalypse.

In this episode we leap from helicopter to nuclear sub to mysterious island in our pursuit of the Atlantis Interceptors and their quest for, well, who knows. It may not make any sense, or even really be post-apocalypse, but fun will be had along the way - and after all, perhaps the true meaning of Atlantis was inside us all along.

Yes, it's the late Ruggero Deodato's bonkers Filipino action film Raiders of Atlantis, an odd entry in the Pastapocalypse sub-genre, but one that belongs there nonetheless. We discuss its origins, try to get to grips with its plot, and even find time to mention Oliver Onions again.

It's time for another special bonus episode, and this time Adrian chats with Graeme Lloyd and Tom Lee Rutter at Treasured Films, the new UK blu ray label responsible for releasing a fantastic uncut restored edition of the spaghetti combat classic The Last Hunter (1980, Antonio Margheriti). We also cover their distribution site Film Treasures, some upcoming releases, the trials of establishing a new label in a crowded field, and why the BBFC seem to be going out of their way to make life difficult.

You can order this superb release direct from Treasured Films, and if you do they will send you a double-sided poster! You can also find them on Facebook and Twitter. Their sister company Film Treasures is the go to place for importing international releases, which you can find HERE.

It's time to pull your leather trousers on, apply some Ziggy Stardust-style make-up and grab a shotgun as we bravely head into the Endgame arena for the reality show battle of our lives! Along the way we'll have some psychic alone time with Laura Gemser and go toe-to-toe once again with Joe's lucky mascot George Eastman.

We also find time to discuss the fact that we are living in a golden age if you are a fan of cult Italian cinema, which of course you are, and Rod makes a surprising revelation!

Welcome to this special bonus episode where Adrian speaks to Patricia Barsanti down the line from Paris to discuss the fantastic restoration work being done on Castle of Blood (Danza Macabra, Antonio Margheriti, 1964). This Italian gothic horror is one of Adrian's all-time favourite films and is long overdue a restoration and reappraisal, so this is exciting news indeed. If you're lucky, you might be able to hear it in his voice. We had a couple of sound problems in the first few minutes of the interview, but it settles pretty quickly so do stick with it!

You can read more about the fundraising restoration project HERE: ENSEMBLE, FAISONS REVIVRE "DANSE MACABRE"! 

You can find out more about Patricia Barsanti's company HERE: Société Cinématographique LYRE

The new artwork for Danse Macabre is by artist Milana Kamieva, and can be found on T-shirts and tote bags in the gift shop of the Cinemateque Francais.

Join us and Michael Sopkiw as we hit the road in our not-ripping-off-Mad-Max hotrod for some not-ripping-off-Death-Race car-smashing action in deserts of Utah/ a quarry just outside Rome. And that's just the prologue to the real story, which is not-ripping-off-Escape-From-New-York at all. Yes, 2019: After the Fall of New York is the fruit salad of Italian post-apocalypse films, throwing in a bit of everything and then pouring the synth stylings of the De Angelis brothers over the top in the hope that you won't notice the joins or the obvious miniature work. But we love it! Along the way we discuss the ubiquity of George Eastman, ponder the difficulty of finding the last fertile woman on Earth if no one has told you her name or what she looks like, and reminisce about Dogtanian and the Three Muskerhounds.

In this episode Adrian somehow had the wrong mic recording so everything on his end sounds like he's down a well. Perhaps a good place to survive the apocalypse?

Yes, we're still in a dystopian future world, and this time we're in the safe hands of uncle Joe D'Amato. 2020 Texas Gladiators can be found on YouTube if you want to play along at home, and this is one film you won't want to miss!
