Episode 79: Suspiria + Thunderbirds Are GO
Episode description
We love a mismatched double feature, and this is a doozy. Charlie Adlard is back to discuss a couple of films that couldn't be more different. We reflect on Dario Argento's masterpiece of phantasmagoric horror, Suspiria (1977), followed by Gerry Anderson's own childlike dream of mecha joy: Thunderbirds Are GO (1966), directed by David Lane.
One thing these films have in common? Plot is entirely secondary in importance, and as such, we don't bother calling out a Spoiler Territory section for either of them.
