This directorial debut by horror legend Dario Argento also happens to be both his first and perhaps most accessible feature film – so popular in Italy that it played at a single theater in Milan for several years.
It’s a bleak story, but we both seemed to like it a lot better on the second go-round. Listen to also discover how it compares with the Japanese original. Shout out to loyal listener, Jordan, for this week’s request. Thank you!
We both found plenty to laugh at in this Naked Gun-style send-up of pre-1982 horror films.
The three of us enjoyed chatting about this “Goonies for horror fans,” delivered like a time capsule from the 1980’s. We kinda wonder why it isn’t more popular today.
