Mister X (Avenger X, Piero Vivarelli, 1967)
08/21/24 • 57 min
Bored of winning the golf championships all the time? Is life with your beautiful fiancé just not quite giving you the thrills you need? In that case, why not put on a black mask, stick a big X on your belt and then head out to fight international criminals? That's just what Mister X did, and he's never been happier, whether he's chucking henchmen out of windows or blowing up phone boxes.
Yes, we're back with another episode in our Fumetti season, and this is one of the lesser-known films based on a relatively unsuccessful comic. As usual with this season, there's no decent home video release to speak of, but you can find a poor quality copy on YouTube. It's good fun though, and gives Rod and Adrian plenty to discuss.
We are now coming towards the end of 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.
We would love to hear from you if you have any favourite Italian comic or masked hero/ villain-based films, or if you have used your fiancé as a honeytrap to catch a sleazy mafia boss. You can contact us on Twitter and Instagram or by email at [email protected]. You can also find our YouTube channel here.

Danger: Diabolik (Mario Bava, 1968)
Dashing home after having stolen a country's entire gold reserve and blown up its tax offices, Rod and Adrian grab their microphones to talk about one of the greatest films to be covered on Wild, Wild Podcast - Danger: Diabolik. In this episode the latest Severin Films announcements are discussed, and Adrian potentially alienates everyone by saying something blasphemous about Morricone's score.
