Wild, Wild Podcast

This time Adrian and Rod travel the globe in search of illicit drugs and the perfect J&B, whilst Ivan Rassimov and Stephanie Beacham get stuck into crossing, double-crossing, triple and even quadruple-crossing pretty much everyone along the way. The big question is, could you be more bastard than Inspector Cliff?

We're back with a full ten film season, and this time we are getting violent and gritty on the streets of Italy. First up is a stone cold classic of the filone: Milan Caliber 9. So join us as we talk girls, guns, guts! Prog rock and Bruce Campbell also get more air time than they probably should.

This time we return to the world of the Decamerotici to see what Antonio Margheriti could do with his version of the Arabian Nights. And, brace yourself, it's actually pretty good. Although we do have to qualify that claim quite a lot. So, join us on a magic carpet ride through the wild, wild tales of a Sultan with erectile dysfunction, an Aladdin with carpet dysfunction, and a Queen whose sexual appetite is defeated by a healthy supply of bananas.

Rod's detective work uncovered the fabulous Florentine castle location used in the film, which is currently the focus of a campaign to save it from ruin. Find out more here: Save Samezzano

Check out this excellent article on the filone we've been wallowing in these last few weeks: “Canterbury Rides Again”… PASOLINI & HIS “DECAMEROTIC” IMITATORS

And if you want to explore this filone further here's a pretty helpful IMDB Complete List of Adaptations of the Decameron and Decamerotici

Finally, Adrian mentions his Margheriti blog about lost films. You can find that here: The "Lost" Films of Antonio Margheriti

We're back for more Decameron-inspired shenanigans, as this time we travel to medieval Viterbo for a collection of ribald tales featuring cuckolded husbands, horny ghosts, frustrated brides and misplaced shellfish.

For more information on this Italian sub genre, which morphed into the highly successful commedia sexy all'italiana, this article is a very good primer and one we will be coming back to: “Canterbury Rides Again”… PASOLINI & HIS “DECAMEROTIC” IMITATORS

We're back and this time we are taking a dive into the world of Pasolini's Trilogy of Life. In this episode we discuss films based on the first in the trilogy, Il Decameron (1971) and its many imitators, in particular the film known to English-speaking audiences as Ubalda - All Naked and Warm. Yes, it's the one with Edwige Fenech in a chastity belt, so grab your skeleton keys and head back to the middle ages with us.

We are very pleased to welcome author Matt Blake to the podcast for this special bonus episode. It was Matt's book Science Fiction Italian Style that inspired this whole podcast in the first place, so it was great to get to talk to him about his work and his love for European genre cinema.

Several of Matt Blake's books are available on Amazon in the UK and around the world so do check them out, particularly his latest book Spanish Cult Cinema, Volume 1: 1960-1964.

Get ready to party with Rod, Adrian and Darth Glitter Beard as they all celebrate the last episode of this first season by firing up the Megatron and getting down on the disco planet, better known as Earth. This is the film that asks the important questions, like "What is water?" and "Do you have any more spandex?"

We would love to hear what you think of Escape From Galaxy 3, and what you think we should cover in our next season. You can contact us on Twitter, Instagram, or by email at [email protected]

It's 1980, and things are getting a bit saucy. Join Adrian and Rod as they return to Alfonso Brescia's unique take on space exploration: It is as if he thought, "I know what was wrong with Cosmos, it was missing some horses getting it on."

Join Adrian and Rod as they travel back into the furthest reaches of the galaxy to find out just exactly what really happened to Richard Kiel after James Bond left him in space at the end of Moonraker.

The Humanoid is another fun Italian film that makes no attempt to pretend it's not ripping off Star Wars, but this podcast believes that is something to be celebrated. It's got heroes, villains with black helmets, cute robots and guns that go "pew pew!"

The closing song is called Love Games by the band Ganymede. They've long since split up now but you can still read about their interest in The Humanoid on this fan site. Whilst you're there check out some of the other amazing stuff they have like these behind the scenes stills.

We would love to hear what you think of this film too. You can contact us via Twitter and Instagram, or you can email us at [email protected]

Sing with me now: "Starcrash, it's a Starcrash, we're having a Starcrash..." Yes, we've made it to 1979's Italian Star Wars knock-off par excellence, the one and only Starcrash, featuring Caroline Munro in a space bikini and David Hasslehoff with a tight perm.

In this episode Adrian and Rod share their unabashed enthusiasm for this silly film, whilst not holding back on just how difficult it is to accurately summarise the plot, even when it's written down in front of you.

We would love to hear what you think of this film too. You can contact us via Twitter and Instagram, or you can email us at [email protected]
