Fenomenal and the Treasure of Tutankamen (Ruggero Deodato, 1968)
Season 7 · Episode 6
Monday, June 10, 2024 • Duration 01:14:05
In this phenomenally good episode, Rod and Adrian get to grips with a film that makes very little sense whichever language you watch it in. Yes, it's that dastardly master of crime/ vigilante hero (delete as appropriate, we couldn't work it out) Fenomenal: Thrill as he kicks drug dealers into the sea! Gasp as he climbs walls very carefully! Worry in case he bumps into the furniture with that mask on!
You can see the whole film for yourself on YouTube.
We are now halfway through our fumetti season. If you want to do some background reading on the most popular Italian comics of the sixties, there's a great resource here on Comic Vine.

Arrriva Dorellik (Steno, 1967)
Season 7 · Episode 5
Wednesday, May 29, 2024 • Duration 01:15:00
Take one of Italy's most popular entertainers, stick him in a moth-eaten supervillain costume, then have him come face to face with a buffonish Terry-Thomas and you have Arrriva Dorellik, a star vehicle for singer, actor and all-round charisma machine Johnny Dorelli. But given this is an Italian comedy, will Rod and Adrian be able to agree on whether this is one to enjoy or avoid like the plague? Tune in to find out. In this episode Adrian also gets very easily distracted by Dorelli's Sanremo win of 1959 which leads to him going on about the Eurovision Song Contest at length.
Johnny Dorelli was still singing this film's theme Arriva la bomba well into the 1970s, and can be seen making an appearance on Italian television here.

The Three Fantastic Supermen (I fantastici 3 $upermen, Gianfranco Parolini, 1967)
Season 7 · Episode 4
Tuesday, May 14, 2024 • Duration 01:12:34
What's better than one Superman? That's right, it's three Supermen! Plus Rod and Adrian makes five. Strap on your suction cups, grab your mini-capes and join them in them in this super-exciting, very silly adventure film that combines elements of the Peplum and the Eurospy with Batman and The Green Hornet. The Three Fantastic Supermen is nothing if not ambitious.

Argoman the Fantastic Superman (Sergio Grieco, 1967)
Season 7 · Episode 3
Wednesday, April 24, 2024 • Duration 01:21:02
Argoman or Psychoman? That's the question posed in this episode as we take a look at the pop art-infused crazy world of Sir Reginald Hoover, noted criminologist, playboy and masked criminal. Other questions raised by this film include "Is ten minutes of pleasure worth losing your powers for six hours?" and "Can you really take over the world by being able to make metal bendy?"

In this episode Rod & Adrian grab their bulletproof spandex and head for the wrestling ring for a tag team bout with Superargo!

Yes, Superargo is here, in a double-bill featuring maniacal mad men, secret underground lairs, killer robots, deadly swamps, femme fatales and extremely valuable cocktail olives!

Kriminal (Umberto Lenzi, 1966) & Il Marchio di Kriminal (Fernando Cerchio, 1968)
Season 7 · Episode 1
Tuesday, January 16, 2024 • Duration 01:17:58
The Wild, Wild Podcast emerges blinking into the light after the long dark Christmas break to bring you a new season dedicated to the heroes and villains (but mostly villains) of the films adapted from or inspired by the fumetti neri publishing phenomenon of the sixties (which is still going strong today in Italy).
Our first episode sees us going toe to toe with a devious, ruthless, devilishly handsome villain, Kriminal. He's self-serving and will stop at nothing to get what he wants, in the comics at least. The films have him toned down a bit, as we explore in this discussion, which also covers such vital topics as the best way to shave and how to deal with your dad being Mussolini.
If you want to do some background reading on the most popular Italian comics of the sixties, there's a great resource here on Comic Vine.
We would love to hear from you if you have any favourite Italian comic-based films, or if you ever got beaten up and robbed by a man in a skull mask.
