Put on your best pair of denim dungarees and head to Austria with Rod and Adrian as they try to work out why this film is called Magnum Cop when he's not a cop and he doesn't own a magnum. This is a strangely comedic yet harrowing late entry in the cycle featuring the powerhouse coupling of Marizio Merli and Joan Collins. What more could you ask for?

In this episode Rod and Adrian go deep undercover to bust open an international drug-smuggling ring. Thankfully Fabio Testi is on hand to all the heavy lifting. Yes, it's our penultimate film in this action-packed poliziotteschi season! With a Goblin-heavy soundtrack and more stunts than the entire James Bond back-catalogue, The Heroin Busters is not to be missed.

In this episode Adrian breaks Rod out of prison and together they persue Umberto Lenzi as he makes his debut appearance on the podcast. With Tomas Milian and Claudio Casinelli along for the ride, just about anything could happen. Yes, it's Free Hand for a Tough Cop, although what he's going to do with that free hand is anyone's guess. Grab a J&B?

Join us on a wild ride as we try to escape Milan for Switzerland with a depressed Tomas Milian on our tails, with only a shotgun and a bottle of J&B for company. Will we make it to the border?
Yes, we're finally back to talking about some films, and this time it's the under appreciated Young, Violent, Dangerous, a fantastic police thriller where there is so much to discuss that Adrian and Rod singularly failed to mention the Fernando di Leo script, or the fact that it is based on another short story from the same collection that inspired Milano, Calibro 9.

After going on about it often enough, Adrian has finally been on his trip to Rome and Turin, where he attended a film conference, looked for film locations, went to the new Dario Argento exhibit at the Museo Nazionale del Cinema in Turin, and got too hot.
In this episode Adrian takes you with him so you can enjoy the sounds of Italy, without having to endure the heat and the smell of Rome in high summer.
The Museo Nazionale del Cinema has some videos connected to the new Dario Argento exhibit, including a launch event with Argento himself in attendance, although unfortunately there are no English subtitles.
If you want to see any photos from the trip they will be on our Twitter and Instagram feeds, which is also how you can contact us, as well as by email at [email protected]. Please remember to rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice!

What happens if you put Joe Dallesandro and his pals in a cage? They turn savage, that's what! What happens if you put Rod and Adrian near a microphone? They start making podcasts! It's almost the same. In this episode we get to explore Turin with three bored friends hellbent on causing chaos and destruction. Is there nothing they won't do? Eurovision also gets a mention, and Adrian keeps banging on about his holiday. Sorry about that.

One of the most entertaining and nauseating films we've covered so far, What Have they Done to your Daughters? is a classic of the genre and one that every Poliziotteschi/ Giallo fan needs to check out. Join Rod and Adrian for their first anniversary episode as they delve in to the sleazy, blood-splattered world of meat cleaver-wielding bikers, peeping toms and teenage prostitutes. Yes, it's an episode the whole family can enjoy!
Adrian also offers some form of apology for his dissing of Stelvio Cipriani in the last episode.

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
