Next Episode

Absurd (1981) with Stephen from The Stacks Podcast

With the Los Angeles area fires raging, I wasn't sure if there would be an episode this week...or any time soon. The first responders have been amazing and the people of the city and our neighbors have really come together to help. So, here are a couple of links to help and where to find help. This episode is dedicated to my home and the people here fighting for it.

For this episode, I was joined by Stephen from The Stacks Podcast to talk about an Italian giallo so desperate to masquerade as American that it won't stop mentioning the Super Bowl. So, grab some un-sauced spaghetti and join us for:

Absurd (aka Rosso Sangue 1981)

A priest-doctor chasing a man with supernatural regenerative abilities, who has recently escaped from a medical lab, reaches a small town where the mutant goes on a killing spree.

Director: Joe D'Amato

Writer: George Eastman

Stars: George Eastman, Annie Belle, and Charles Borromel

It was great to meet Stephen, officially. You can find him on Letterbox and talking bad movies, good movies, video games, and more at The Stacks.
