30 Aug 2024
00:51:30
George Lazenby is an unlikely sleauth in Aldo Lado's oddly familiar Who Saw Her Die?/Chi l'ha vista morire? from 1972. Part one of our season finale!
There' a lot of plot to figure out in Luciano Ercoli's 1972 thriller Death Walks at Midnight/La morte accarezza a mezzanotte. Are Dave and Jon up to the task?
Who is the mysterious masked figure terrorizing TV's Michael Brandon? And what is the strange connection between Dario Argento and Thomas the Tank Engine? All will be revealed as Dave and Jon tackle 1971's Four Flies on Grey Velvet/4 mosche di velluto grigio.
CW: Gendered violence, mental illness, homophobic portrayals of LGBTIQ+ characters.
Season two comes to a bloody climax with one of the quintessential gialli, which bizarrely was made by a Hollywood director in the USA. Jon and Dave spend a New York minute delving into Brian De Palma's Dressed to Kill (1980).
CW: Gendered and sexualised violence, victimisation of sex work, problematic and invalid depictions of trans characters
Episode 25: The Corruption of Chris Miller (2022 Christmas-ish Special)
24 Dec 2022
00:47:58
A rather tangiential festive episode as Jon and Dave discover the rain in Spain falls mainly on the deranged, with Jean Seberg and Marisol competing to have it away in a manger with Barry Stokes, in J.A. Bardem's 1973 film The Corruption of Chris(tmas?) Miller/La corrupción de Chris Miller.
CW: Sexual violence, rape, gendered violence, PTSD, the killing of a child.
Graphic violence, illicit liasons and chunky knitwear all feature prominently in this episode's film. Jon and Dave ponder who is killing the girls at an exclusive Catholic school in Massimo Dallamano's 1972 thriller What Have You Done to Solange?/Cosa avete fatto a Solange?
Two beautiful giallo queens, a faded Hollywood star, a remote Venetian island and a heavy sigh from Jon. It's Silvio Amadio's Amuck!/Alla ricerca del piacere, literally 'In Pursuit of Pleasure,' from 1972. Did we find any? Listen and see.
Jon and Dave venture back to the days when London's Covent Garden had several actual apple stores instead of an Apple Store, in Alfred Hitchcock's 1972 return to form Frenzy. Lovely!
Episode 21; The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave
23 Sep 2022
00:52:42
Dungeons, thigh boots, heroic serial killers and plot holes you could fit several pairs of tits through? Jon and Dave come up against Emilio P. Miraglia's 1971 trashfest The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave/La notte che Evelyn uscì dalla tomba.
CW: Gendered violence, rape, sex work, animal cruelty, mental illness.
How did we manage to do twenty of these things?? For their 20th discussion, Jon and Dave delve into the dark delights of Aldo Lado's 1971 classic Short Night of Glass Dolls/La corta notte delle bambole di vetro.
Dave and Jon talk Hitchcock influence, movie strip clubs, and somewhat bizarrely the TV career of Emily Booth as they break down Lucio Fulci's swinging '69 giallo Perversion Story/One on Top of The Other/Una sull'altra.
CW: Gendered violence, gaslighting, the death penalty, exhumation.
A welcome return to familiar territory (and Carroll Baker) for Dave and Jon with Umberto Lenzi's not-at-all-awkwardly-named Orgasmo (1969), also known as Paranoia. Not to be confused with Lenzi/Baker's other giallo called Paranoia. Sigh...
Is Alfred Vohrer's 1967 murder mystery caper The College Girl Murders/Der Mönch mit der Peitsche the missing link between German krimi films and Italian gialli? Or is Dave an idiot? Jon has strong feelings on both.
CW: Gendered violence, sexual assault, the Holocaust.
This time, Jon and Dave take a sidestep into Proper Film™ as we attempt to ascertain if a movie that influenced a lot of gialli, Michelangelo Antonioni's legendary Blowup (1966), is itself a giallo. Also, whether anything happens in the movie.
It's season 2 of Due signori in giallo! We're back to (almost) the beginning with the Italian gothic/giallo hybrid The Murder Clinic, a.k.a. La lama nel corpo (1966), directed by Lionello De Felice and Elio Scardamaglia.

Dave and Jon have their first encounter with giallo queen Edwige Fenech in Sergio Martino's 1972 classic All the Colors of the Dark/Tutti i colori del buio.
Pop art explodes in an orgy of gaslighting, funkadelic disco sounds and unfortunate body suits in Romolo Guerrieri's 1968 treat The Sweet Body of Deborah/Il dolce corpo di Deborah.

Darkness rolls in to engulf Jon Dear and Dave Thomas as they examine Luigi Bazzoni and Franco Rossellini's 1965 arthouse thriller The Possessed/La donna del lago.
The Possessed Arrow Blu-Ray: the original pressing contained a booklet with writing on the film by Andreas Ehrenreich and Roberto Curti. Though sadly this version is now out of print, the excellent disc without booklet is still available.

An array of giallo regulars, and Stanley Baker, are confounded by a murder-within-a-dream in Lucio Fulci's bloody, brilliant 1971 classic A Lizard in a Woman's Skin/Una lucertola con la pelle di donna.
CW: Sexualised violence, suicide, drug use, gaslighting, animal cruelty, gore.
Dave and Jon ponder another fateful meeting with Paul Naschy in Italy, no honest, it is, in León Klimovsky's A Dragonfly for Each Corpse/Una libélula para cada muerto (1975).
Jon and Dave asked for Star Wars for Christmas but the shops were were all sold out, so instead our nans got us Luigi Cozzi's delightful space opera shambles Starcrash/Scontri stellari oltre la terza dimensione (1978) instead.
There's a voice reaching out in a piercing cry. It's definitely a case of "Argh! Vienna!" as Jon and Dave tackle the tantalising Edwige Fenech (if only) in Sergio Martino's The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh/Lo strano vizio della Signora Wardh (1971).
CW: Sexualised violence, suicide, gaslighting, sexual assault.

(Re-uploaded with slightly better audio balance).
CW: Violence, sexual violence, self harm, suicide, real autopsy images.
British national treasure Francis Matthews (Paul Temple, Dracula: Prince of Darkness) is faced with a different kind of scarlet in Stelvio Massi's 1974 giallo Five Women for the Killer/5 donne per l'assassino.

Episode 46: The Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion
21 Nov 2025
00:52:03
We're back with the very liberated Susan Scott and her beau Luciano Ercoli, along with a host of giallo regulars, for Ercoli's first giallo The Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion/Le foto proibite di una signora per bene, from 1970.
"Depressingly timely" is one way of looking at Luigi Bazzoni's 1971 corker The Fifth Cord/Giornata nera per l'ariete, and not just because it's partly set on New Year's Eve.
CW: Violence, gendered violence, sexual abuse of minors, problematic portrayals of LGBTIQ+ characters.
