LOTC presents Black Glove Mysteries with Ian Urza and Greg Amortis. Welcome to Land of the Creeps presents Black Glove Mysteries where each and every other week on Friday specifically you will hear... Two individuals talking what they love to talk, and that is Italian cinema. Specifically, Giallo, but not... solely yellow we may go into spaghetti western we could possibly go into polizia or many other avenues but you will hear italian cinema on this segment

Without further ado, let's welcome in each host, and that is myself, Greg Amortis, along with Ian Urza. What's up, Ian? Would you please clean my shoes? I love it, man. Look, motherfucker. Clean my shoes. And because we're doing two movies, both of them are worthy of a quote. I figured I'd also say for... Strip nude for your killer. I want to be a model, not a kept woman or a slave. Yes. I love it. So the movie, the movies that we're talking to was that he has quoted and I absolutely love it.

Or Andre Bianchi's in. Is it Bianchi or Bianchi? Andrea Bianchi. That's what I was thinking, Bianchi. And the two movies we're talking about tonight is 1974's Cry of a Prostitute.

And his 1975 hit, Strip Nude for Your Killer. Yeah, listen to the names and think, what are we getting into tonight? We're in Italian cinema, my friends. And once again, Ian doing that wonderful quote from... there's so many quotable moments in both these movies honestly man we could you could have picked a hundred of them uh but anyways that's what we're gonna be talking about tonight uh we're super excited this is episode 424 of lotc double double 60 if you're keeping count and

At the end of this episode, we're going to announce something very super awesome that's going to happen in the future and we'll go ahead and reveal that. But tonight, man, we have got movies upon movies that involve two of our crushes, Ian. We have one with Barbara Boucher as well as one with Edward Finney. So, yeah, there's your double banger, right? Yeah, for sure. Love both of them.

Barbara Bruchet, I am always hoping, I'm like, please, please, please come to a con in America at some point. Please, please, please do it. She always goes to these cons in Europe. It's unfortunate. I think that happens to a lot of these. A lot of these Italian genre cinema actors, though, because it probably costs them more to come overseas, although I think most of the time the events pay for that. But even still, it's a lot of time.

They may not make as much over here because they're not quite as well known. And, you know, they're definitely more of a cult item. You and I would meet them, but who knows how many others. And it's unfortunate. But. Yeah, I mean, I'm just always hoping. And Edwidge, you know, she seems happy in retirement. I was happy to see that she did a film.

Last year with Poopy Avadi, Eli Roth was talking about that when I met him. And she did an interview for Private Crime. So she did step out of her shell a little bit. compared to how much she's sort of been in that in the past. So that's always good. Yeah, definitely. And maybe at their age, too. I mean, Barbara Boucher has been credited with something as of 2024.

It's not that she stepped away completely. She's still doing a few things here and there, but at their age I'm sure it's a little harder to travel. uh as well across seas and you know all that but maybe one day and we can put it on the bucket list or if nothing else maybe we can make a trip over to europe and catch one that would be interesting if there was you know maybe in england or something there was a con

There's always like one in like Manchester or one of those places usually gets Italian stars. I mean, I remember recently it was Sylvia Colatina and Ottaviano Delacqua were both there for one of those. Yeah, it's awesome. Shout out to Ian McCulloch for coming over here a little bit more than most because I've met him at two different cons and he seems to come to America more than some of the other ones. Heck yeah. I can't wait. I got to meet him too. So that's awesome. Yeah.

all right so here we are tonight once again we're going to look at 1974 as a cry of a prostitute as well as 1975 strip nude for your killer uh we're going to go in chronological order as we always like to do or at least i always like to do and ian follows along with me because he's like hey I'm going to do what he says, right? No! Because that's just the way we do it. It keeps it kind of interesting to keep it in order years. That's right.

So we're super excited. I always love, man, these shows. And it's like a highlight when I get together with Ian to record on these episodes, man, because I get to dig into your brain, Ian, get to get inside that knowledgeable. uh cinema of italian and uh learn some stuff i actually bought this is cool and i bought a a a book i went to a used bookstore i've never been to here in wilmington it's old it's actually an old house

Interesting. Yeah, that they've made into a bookstore. And this thing is like... stacked like you would think from roof to uh floor of just books books books of everything but i get into i'm looking for shallow and specifically i'm like man i wonder if this guy's got some shallow books which would be hard to find here in the states for sure But I'm looking for every yellow-covered book I can find. And I never found some yellow-covered books, but they were not yellow. But.

I did find a book that is basically a traveling book on... uh english to italian and it's basically a translation book on like if you wanted to go travel you would carry this book around for certain phrases or words or sentences and that so i bought it i had to it's a little pocket size so i told for i was sitting there thumbing through trying to figure out here's the only problem I still don't know how to pronounce some of the words. Even if it's looking right in my face, I'm like.

Well, I can say what I think it says, but I don't know if my southern twang is going to be exactly what it is. So I may be saying something completely off-wall, but it's been fun thumbing through it. I've got it actually as I speak right here. Yep, here it is.

So, like I said, it's pocket-sized. Got it in my hand like you can see it. But Berlitz, and it's called Italian Phrase Book and Dictionary. Travel with ease. Communicate with confidence, man. And it's so freaking cool. Like, I could ask you how to eat.

You know, where are you going to eat out at? Ian, I can ask you, you know, what are you traveling? Where are you traveling? I can do stuff in Italian now. But I bought it because we're starting to watch a lot of Italian cinema. I'm like, dude, I want to learn. I really do.

It's going to be hard at my age to pick up a whole other language that I've never spoke. But I think after we watch enough of these movies, maybe some of the phrases will, you know, pop in. I mean, like, I know chow. I can do that. but this is gonna be fun so anyways I bought this book for the shits and giggles and see what happens so

Let's get into the actual episode here. We're super excited. 1974. We're going to the movie Cry of a Prostitute. We're going to go ahead and play whatever trailer I can find right now. For a lousy 25 bucks, some men think they can do anything just to hear the cry of a prostitute. Passion explodes like never before. Cry of a prostitute. You'll hear it echo in your blood. And then we'll get right into this. So what you got for a plot synopsis?

All right, so this is taken from Roberto Curdi's book, Italian Crime Filmography from 1968 to 1980. Says Don Kashimi holds a meeting with other members of the mob. about the despicable use of dead children for distribution and transportation of drugs. through customs. One of the mafiosi states that Don Rucuso Cantemo of Cala Pietra, an Italian-American mobster deported from Brooklyn, is a suspected culprit.

Cantemo took over from Don Turry, Scanepieco. As a result, the two families of the Cantemo and Scanepieco are at war with one another over the Calipietra province. Don Kasimi brings in Tony Anianti, a powerful mobster from America, to cause turmoil between the two families and find out who is using the young corpses for illegal purposes. But honey auntie has a secret agenda that may bring down both families.

Having left a gruesome trail of death and destruction, pretending to act in the interest of Don Recruzzo, Tony, who often intervenes in the cruel battles among the two games, absolves his duty and tries to turn both families against each other. This is almost, it's not, but you know, almost like Godfather in Italy. Like we got all these Dons showing up.

in a scene at the early in the movie man where they're all sitting around the table talking and discussing what things are going on and and uh of course they're from italy and then they're talking about some of the american dons and stuff so it's kind of cool this is a mobster film and and it's really first time viewing for me and a lot of fun like henry silva i absolutely love this guy

And many of us who watch any Italian cinema will know Henry Silva and such a good actor. And he does really good in this, man, as a... We'll just call him a hired hit man. I don't know what you'd want to call him, but he's definitely a badass. Yeah. And, dude, he could – it's the whistle. I need to try to see. I'll try to play it right here. I'll try to get the whistle isolated. because there's in this movie he'll come out of nowhere and and It's just like all you'll do is you'll hear a whistle.

And then next thing you know, there's firing, like shooting coming from somewhere in the sky. Yeah, it's a similar leitmotif to, you know, Charles Bronson as harmonica in Once Upon a Time in the West. They're similar to that. to the pocket watch chime for a few dollars more. And the flashback specifically kind of evokes both of those films. Absolutely. I love it. And it was a cool little concept.

Uh, so opening scene of this one was one I texted you earlier today, Ian, cause I watched it and I was like, wow like it was it was a decapitation scene out of nowhere and it was just like holy crap dude although here's the thing like they're driving in a car these two people and they lose control because of another vehicle sideswiping or whatever, right? And I'm thinking, just hit your brakes. Like, this car is spinning and rolling like they were going 100 miles an hour plus.

And I'm thinking, you weren't going that fast, but good Lord, man. Like, it's like. I'm like, damn. And then what ends up becoming their ill fate is freaking amazing. Like, I loved, even though. Let's be honest. You know, mannequin body on the ground and mannequin body head flying in there. Cheesy as fuck. It was cheesy. I'm going straight up honest, but damn it if it wasn't effective for me. I love it.

I enjoy it, too. It's a great it's, you know, long on the you know, long it's it's, you know, on the long list of awesome dummy deaths in Italian genre cinema. Yes.

and here's the thing like that's your opening that's your your your opening which had this cool little um intro music too by the way which i thought was really fun it was like okay i like the music and this is uh from santa maria ramatelli and i was enjoying i was like okay it's a cool little groove and uh then we get into this scene where they're at the um uh

border and they're trying to get their passports checked and then this scene happens and you're like wow and then we go straight to the dons and different things well we got the body too we we see a kid's body that has something in there which let me ask you something If you were to cut a body open and find a vial of something, powdery substance, the first thing you want to do is just put some in your mouth and taste it.

Just like Cornelius from Rudolph. I don't really know how it works because I've never used hard drugs before. you might be able to just taste a small amount of it without it really doing too much to you. I really don't know how it works. I'm just watching this guy grab it, just like Cornelius from Rudolph. Instead of saying gold, he's like heroin. Yeah, Cornelius from Rudolph. It's heroin. Yeah, heroin. And I'm like, God, are you freaking kidding me? This is amazing, like this guy.

You wouldn't do that nowadays because you might have fentanyl in it and you might die of an overdose right immediately. So don't do that. But it's just weird. That's insanely strong compared to most. Yeah, just that scene was so odd. So we find out that... Basically, they're smuggling drugs through young bodies. They're being injected with or being sewed up or whatever.

It's weird and it's odd to think that that's what's going on, but that's kind of one of the small premises of this movie and the way it kind of goes through. But then we get into, of course, Tony Aniotti. And his character, which was played by Henry Silva, just being the badass. And he kind of befriends different groups.

There's these two families that are at odds with each other and You know, there's some things going on and he's working both families through this movie and i thought it was good it worked really well We got some moments of... Hilarity. We got some fight sequence. We got some squibs from hell in this movie that are so good. There's a head shot, top of a head split that was awesome. The chest ones.

Tony Ananotti and Yanni, he is a masterful headshotter. Like, every shot, no matter where it's coming from, is dead center in the head, man. I love it. Well, when you first meet him, you know, it's a great intro because he does the whistle and then... Because Don Kashimi is being basically, you know, taken in a car by these three guys. You know, they're taking out just a secluded spot to kill him. And Anianti Henry Silva shows up.

And he, you know, kills them all with a Luger headshotting all of them. And they have this great conversation where they're speaking in code, which I enjoyed, like where he's like, you know, he's like, you know, a rotten apple can. One rotten apple can contaminate the rest, and he's like, you want me to get rid of all these rotten apples? Henry Silva with his very sort of robotic voice at times in this. That was one of those moments. I enjoyed that.

um and then yeah when i enjoy when he goes to sicily he's wearing all these really awesome suits like these really dapper suits and uh You know, when he first gets into his room, he looks in the window for an escape plan, which he does end up using, which is cool. And yeah, he, you know, one of the first things he does is he, you know, he did, you know, to kind of introduce himself to both families, he kills these two.

who are bringing these cherries. And, you know, with all the talk of cherries, I thought for some reason they meant drugs when they kept saying cherries. And it's not. It's literal just cherries. Fruit. Just a fruit. Just literally a fruit. Now, they were big fruit, but still. I totally agree with you, and I was thinking this was a drug-related term. No, it's literally just cherries because when –

What's his, uh, when Don Racuzzo gets some bags, like these are the best cherries ever. Like it's, it's like what I, I, I couldn't believe how many times they kept saying. the term cherries doesn't mean thinking that they were drugs, but you know, even that really aren't as cherries and cherries can be really good, but it's just funny. Yeah. There's that scene where he's sitting at the table and he's got literally that bullet.

cherries he's just eating they did look good but i'm just sitting there like wow okay we're spending time right here with cherries okay maybe they had like a maybe there was a

a sponsorship of some kind of cherry or something. Maybe something was going on with the cherries. I don't know. Yeah. That and a beef eater gin. Cause that's in both of these films. You see a, big beef eater like in in in a frame later in this movie yeah which and then Is it in this movie where you see Boucher just drinking straight up? beef eater yes yeah and throws the bottle yeah which is oh god that is awful they cannot drink that straight out of the bottle

I have never drunk orange juice or something. I've never drank beef eaters. I have. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Not, not good. Straight up. Is this like the Boone's Farm wine or maybe like some mad dog? Well, it's gin. Oh, God. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. You said it. So here we are. We're talking cherries. We're talking, like you said, Silva. Silva's character has took out two of the clan members, so that kind of gets them in with both families.

We find out that Margie, played by the beautiful Barbara Boucher, who she's married to the one Don. And we know something about him. Married, quote-unquote. Yeah. She's basically a whore. Let's be honest. She calls herself that. She's a prostitute. She's bored. She gets bored a lot. She likes to have sex with guys. And, you know, Tony Aniotti is not one to shy away from it in one of the scenes. No, but he's... It's so...

The whole idea is like he just doesn't like she's not a good person. He's not a good person either. And it's like, you know, it brings out sort of the violence in him because he just doesn't like her, you know, treats her. exactly what she calls herself right so yeah preacher like exactly like that um And then, so the bar fight happens. Before or after he meets her? I can't remember. I think the bar fight's fairly early on. Before, yeah, it would be before.

Yeah, which is the awesome fight sequence where Silva is just punching people out. He says that great line, you know, when they spill the... when they spilled the stuff on his shoes and that's when he gets mad and starts fighting them all. And he fights like, you know, a good four or five people. And he's like, you know, punching them, giving them back hands, like slapping them. It's, it's, it's awesome.

that's just such an awesome fight scene and you see you know silva was 48 when they filmed this believe it or not i mean he you know there are parts when he takes his shirt off and that guy lifts like he's got some definition like he looks good for his age Yeah, there's a scene when he gets out of bed. He wakes up in the bed, and he's shirtless, and he kind of looks over, and his picture's empty, and he's like, shit. And this is the scene that leads up to the sex with Barbara Boucher.

But he gets up and you can see his back definition. You almost see him flex when he stands up. Almost like, okay, I got a back shot. Let me do it. And he kind of does this little bow flex when he's walking out the door. I was like, hey, if I had a back like that, I'd bow it up too. Why not? Yeah, he was definitely lifting for sure. You can see it. Yeah, and Barbara Boucher's already had multiple scenes where she's kind of, you know...

trying to seduce them or indicating she has interest. I mean, when you first see her, She's doing that thing with the milk where she's like rubbing her chest and her thighs with the milk. Yeah. Cause you know, that turns on everybody, right? Yeah. And then, yeah. And then you have the funny lines where, uh, where Don Recruzzo introduces her and.

and she's just like what is there else what else is there to do besides drink here you know and he's like yeah the problem with her is just she drinks too much she's great but that's what you know she drinks too much um so Yeah, you have that. Don Recruzzo is great, too, because Michael Forrest has some great dubbing moments. Like, when you first meet him, he's like,

you know, one box of cherries of the market. He's great in certain scenes. And even later on, he has a great scene where he's trying to get in Margie's room. He's like, Margie, let me in. Margie, let me in. Michael Forrest has some great dubbing moments, dubbing that actor. I'm going to break this door down. Let me in. Not knowing what was going on on the other side. Like there's a reason why she's taking her time getting to the door on, boy. Yeah. Hang in there.

Yeah, but then this scene where she finds him going to the fridge, that's when she says, you know... We're both whores. You sell your soul. I sell my body. And then he's like, all right, we're going to do this my way. Yeah. What proceeds is him. Basically, going on or from behind, sodomizing or whatever term you want to use, while shoving her face into a pig carcass.

And they even have the moment where she turns around and says, you're a pig. You're a dirty pig. I'm like, why her face is buried in a pig? Like, really? Like, come on, guys. Great script writing here. You dirty pig. Very on the nose. Yeah, right. Literally. This movie has some really great, and I want to say this, really great fight sequences. Man, I'm loving the squibs in this movie. I'm loving the action.

I like the back and forth between the families because whose side is Tony Aniotti on? Like whose side is he truly on? Is he working? uh angle with one to get to the other or is he working for both no i mean he's just trying to get both of them eliminated but In the vein of A Fistful of Dollars, he does try to help a couple of people, making him seem more heroic. Truth be told, Clint Eastwood's character in A Fistful of Dollars is much more likable.

Um, you know, he's not in a fistful of dollars. He's not a bad guy. Tony Anianti is not a good person. Let's make that clear. But he does try to save, um, basically the star-crossed lovers from each family, which would be Paolo and Carmella. So you see that they have these trysts where they run off. She's supposed to be, Carmella's supposed to be keeping track of Zeno, who...

let's say is maybe has like an intellectual disability of sorts, it seems like. Yeah. And something with his legs. Yeah. Oh, that too. Okay. Yeah. I think that it may be more physical. Yeah. Than that. I mean, I think they make it seem like he's slow at the beginning, but maybe not so much because eventually he has to take over, I think. Right. So, yeah. But, yeah, he finds them having a tryst and what's. I think it's Don Raccoon sends a couple of men to kill them. Right. And.

He intervenes. You've got the great scene where he gets into the fight with that one guy and then bangs his head against a rock a bunch of times and runs him over with a steamroller. funny i was like are they going there oh my god they're going there yeah i mean this is why this movie strip nude for your killer burial ground is why i call

Andrea Bianchi, just the king of outrageous moments in these films. They come out of nowhere in a lot of his films. Specifically in this one, there are several outrageous moments. I already talked about the pig carcass, but there's a... basically a full on rape scene and a stable later on. And then you get the whole, um, you get the moment, you know, the part with the band saw. Oh yeah. Later on after the shootout, which.

The shootout is awesome, right? Both sides send their men and the shootout in this sort of factory area where there's a ton of blood squids with like double-barreled shotguns and pistols, a bunch of people going through broken glass. Like this is some of the best.

blood squib shootouts you're ever going to see in an italian genre film yeah it's one of the best that i've seen and i'm not as versed as ian by a long shot this is definitely one of the absolute best ones Well, we're just talking about the sequence where Tony does try to do right with these two families.

uh with the characters do you feel like that he here's the thing like he's being surrounded in this home right and he tells him run upstairs you got 15 minutes to get to the bus and then he says run upstairs And he knows that he's being surrounded. And you see him open a window. He's looking out. Do you feel like he set them up? Like, let me throw this guy at the front window and see what happens?

Have you thought of that? It's possible that he does that. I don't know if he did that because I think he's genuinely surprised with what happens next. I think he was just... I think he was very naive in that situation. I think that that's the one situation where he really gets caught off guard. Because remember... That's after he beats up Margie, right? Rapes her, beats the hell out of her with a bell. And...

I don't think he, you know, I don't think he thought that Rakuzo was going to send his men after him that quickly or at all. I mean, I don't really know if he knew it was going to happen. I mean, again, you know, there are other moments where he sort of lets people off the hook. Like there's that moment with with Don Torrey's son where, you know, they get into a fight. Right. And then he says, I'm letting you go because I don't want two of your sons to get killed.

You know, in one day. So he's not completely heartless, I think, is the point of this. So I don't think he I genuinely don't think he knew was going to happen in the moment. You can see it. You can see it possibly being that way. It is a little bit ambiguous, but I'd say I'm like. 60 percent to 40 percent sure that he you know he didn't do that on purpose okay

I was just curious, man. I just threw that out as maybe a little peanut in the brain type situation. Well, I'm not saying it's impossible, but I choose to believe that he didn't do that on purpose. I think he's just naive to the whole situation.

one of the mistakes he makes and then you know similar to fistful of dollars your jimbo jango whatever whatever version of that you want to use he gets the crap beat out of them hell yeah uh so here's the thing like the screenplay was written by pierre reganoli and i gotta say like i really and sergio seminetti who did both uh stories okay so sergio simonetti it's a good story man it's actually entertaining it's

Even though it's about cherries, I mean, come on. I would think more should have been about drugs or prostitutes or something. Well, yeah, I mean, you know, he gets the mission. from Don Kashimi at the beginning to turn these families against each other to eliminate them both. So that's the main idea, but yeah.

he gets them to fight over the cherries. That's the funny thing about it. But I thought the, the story's clever. It's fun. And if you're, mobster mafia films man you're going to really enjoy this one even though it's a little different it's not when i say godfather it's not a godfather movie but i just

done the comparison because you got the Dons and you got the different things going on. Well, it's not all that dissimilar. I mean, it does deal with the Mafia and Sicily and the Dons. I mean, yeah, it certainly... Shares strands of the Godfather's DNA, so to speak. And we know that Margie, played by Barbara Boucher, she's an American as well that's been brought over in this movie. So she's a prostitute, somehow got over here. One of those.

imports and Tony Tony is awesome like Tony is straight up this movie and and you Who else could have played this part? Many people. I mean, you could have put you know other people in this role then would have done great but i really really liked henry silva in this character just his mannerism like you were talking about with his uh approach where it's kind of dry

you know, approach or whatever, emotionalist. He nailed that. Like, he just has that look of, I'm a stone-cold killer. I will do what I got to do. And I will get what I want and I'll take what I need. So he's just that type character and I liked it. And he, he comes off. And because it's Silva, like.

I mean, like, he's not playing a likable characters, but he's based. But because it's Silva, it's almost like it doesn't matter. Like, you know, I would have had a harder time if someone like Franco Nero. or even Tomas Milian or like Luke Miranda were playing this kind of character because like seeing them play a character that mean it would have been

kind of difficult. I mean, I mean, Thomas Millions played me in characters, but not necessarily like an older distinguished character like this. So it would have been a different for him. But because it's Silva, when he's doing all this stuff, you're like, yeah, that's just Silva. He's been there. He's done it. It's what it is.

Musical scoring is Santa Maria de Romatelli. Really good score, man. I enjoyed it. I do really like the whistle in this movie, which I know is not good. Yeah, and I love how he incorporates that with different instruments as well. Yes. Now, you may know, if you know anything about Italian cinema, Santa Maria did the score or the composing of Hatchet for the Honeymoon, which is a really good film.

Yeah, and a good score from what I remember. It's been a while since I've seen that. We'll end up doing some Bava stuff on the show for a bunch of films we haven't seen because we still really haven't done too much Bava yet on the show.

you know, we'll have to do like movies like planet of the vampires and barren blood and all that stuff. And, uh, you know, Lisa and the devil and the whip in the body. Like there's a lot of Baba stuff we'll have to end up covering. Absolutely. I can't wait. I got,

uh planet the vampires we got to do anyways i got to get into that keno blu-ray i got so yeah i got i i also got it in the keno sale oh nice i i had this one gifted to me last year man it was awesome dude and i've not cracked the seal on it yet and i need to But in this movie, I think the acting's great. I think the squibs are awesome. The fight sequences are great. The stunt double, I think Henry Silva definitely has a stunt double in a few of these scenes.

little wonky on, you know, if you're just really paying real close attention. He does, but there are some stunts he definitely does on his own. Yes. The ones in particular is one where he jumps off of a, out of the house or something. You can totally tell. You can tell when it's not Henry Silva.

just by the body shape. It's hard to be a body of Henry. This guy's a little bit more huskier built. You can tell his hair and different things. But still, I mean, it's in every fucking movie, man. I'm not knocking it for it, but you can definitely tell when it's not Henry Silva. But still, man, this is a fun movie, man. From start to finish, man, the first time watching, I'm like, I really enjoy this movie. Like, I want to own this.

Yeah, I mean, I have the Code Red Blu-ray, and it looks amazing. I'm going to doubt that it's still out there. I got to be honest. I bet it's out of print by now. You know, the print that you can find on YouTube is probably that print. There are no special features on it besides a new transfer, as far as I know, and maybe like the American trailer, which is typical of some of those code red Blu-rays.

Maybe someone will do maybe someone will do a better release somewhere down the line. I could see, you know, a cauldron films or someone try. Somebody should pick this one up, man, and it would be awesome. I will tell you, if you're watching the YouTube or whatnot, there are times where it will go from American to Italian. You know, luckily I was able to have some subtitles pop up. I was watching on one channel, a YouTube channel that did not have subtitles.

So they were going into full blown Italian and I'm like, I don't know what you're saying. Uh, so yeah, uh, that one got me a little bit, but. I would love to see somebody, maybe even Severin or, you know, somebody grab this movie and do a proper release. I'm not saying that yours is not proper code red because I haven't seen it, but somebody do a bang up job on this one and commentaries and whatnot. Well, it's interesting because there was no American Italian stuff in mine. No switching.

Yeah, you're right. So that's weird. Mine was on YouTube. It was straight up. There was one specific scene at the beginning when the Dons, you first are introduced to the Dons sitting at the table.

they they go straight from talking english all of a sudden they start talking italian and then they come back to english and there's even moments where you can tell that the filming changed so it was obviously maybe a blu-ray rip and they weren't able to or maybe it was an added scene or whatever but you could tell that the the

film changed from being clear to a little grainy uh so there were some moments of that in there so if it does go to that i apologize nothing i can do about it but watch it anyways it is on youtube for free um What a fun movie. What a freaking fun movie, man. I absolutely enjoyed this one from start to finish. And we got to say this too. This is also known as Love Kills. oh yeah i think this film may because the whole um like there's that tag of like you know uh

for a lousy however much money someone, you know, there's that tagline. This definitely was like an American grindhouse, you know, flea pit film for sure. Yeah. And you had that rock music that you can hear in the menu, which is what they use probably in the trailer. So. For a lousy five bucks or whatever, some people think they can do anything to someone. I think it's the tagline, something like that. Yeah, I got it on Wikipedia. For a lousy 25 bucks, some people think they can do anything.

Yeah. And here's the thing. Like, if you are going to promote this movie. Cry of a Prostitute would definitely catch attention. That would definitely be like, okay, wow. It would, but I don't necessarily think it's the greatest title. I don't either. I like, personally, I really like Love Kills. But it doesn't have as much of influence in the movie. So I think Guns of the Big Shots would have been better. I think maybe that one. But then I think you're really...

What type of movie are you getting into as well? So I don't know, man. Cry of a Prostitute, I'm good with out of the three. But if I'd have changed, it would have been Guns of the Big Shots is what I would have called it.

But this one, Andre Bianchi, I gotta like it, man. I gotta dig it, dude. Yeah, this makes me really wish he would have done more of these kind of films, because... you know the squibbing and just the outrageous moments it fits exactly what this genre is supposed to be like to me He should have been like he should have done more like, you know, you know, Humberto Lenzi or Estelvio Masi or Fernando DeLeo. He should have been in there.

with them, with how many he did. It's like the same thing when you watch Contraband. You're like, Fulci, why the heck didn't you make more Eurocrime movies? Like, this movie's perfect for your sensibilities. Yeah, exactly. Carlo Carlini did the cinematography. I thought it was shot really well. There are some really cool moments in this one. Uh, so bang up job there as well. Um, what else you got on this one? What do you got for a dubbing corner?

So for dubbing corner, and I did have something else I wanted to add, but for dubbing corner, so Michael Forrest is dubbing Fausto Tosi as Don Ricuzzo Cantemo. Ed Mannix is dubbing... Let's see here. The actor, Mario Landy as Don Turi Scannapieco. Pat Stark is dubbing Carmella. So that would be Patrizia Gorey. And then... carolyn de fonzica is uh being let's see here dada galati as santa scanapieco she's sort of the sort of the older woman than carmela the wife of uh don turry

And then to add. So, yeah, I wanted to talk about. So the relationship between Don Turi and Barbara Boucher as Margie, it's like they kind of he's. He's almost like this cock who gets off on her. telling him about you know all the men she's been with it's kind of unusual um and entertaining at times because you get michael force doing the dubbing he's like You know, at one point he's like, you're such a whore. You know, something like that. He does the whole like.

tell me, you know, about that black buck you were with or something like that. And then you get the, you get the one scene too. This is one thing we didn't talk about is the scene where Barbara Boucher is like really seductively sucking on a banana. Yeah. It's so obvious what she's doing right in front of her husband with Tony in the room.

Well, here's the thing. She even literally like says to him what she done. Yeah. He even asked, he's like, did you have sex with her? She's like, yeah. Was he good? He was good. And he said, well, tell me about it later. I ain't got time now. Like, you know, it turns me on. I'm like, what the hell, bro? You know, so.

I don't know, but good movie. Enjoy the hell out of it. You got anything else on this one? And, you know, this one does have a very, like, It's almost like a spaghetti western set in the 1970s in a way, like everything at the villas. you know, reminds you of something you'd see in a spaghetti Western. So it's cool for that as well. Agree, agree. I do like the sets and there is a lot of outdoor stuff in this one.

uh so yeah a lot of fun on that one for sure nice uh so i guess let's go ahead and pass around our ratings on this one i'm gonna highly recommend this one say that everybody should definitely check this one out man uh first time viewing for me i'm gonna come in at 8.5 for it And definitely hope that somebody picks this up and releases this on a good Blu-ray. I don't necessarily have to have a 4K, but definitely a Blu-ray on this one. But what you got on your rating for this?

I'm going to give it a nine and a half. I really love this one. Yeah, I'd seen it a few times. See, I feel like I need to watch it a few more times. I mean, first viewing, I was like, this is really good. And I think the following...

viewings that I'll have of this movie. For me, the pacing was a little weird the first time and trying to put everything together that was happening between the families and everything like that and who all the... who all the characters were all the moving pieces so to speak okay cool all right so it'll probably go up with me too then all right well cool uh 8.5 9.5 for ian and that is our first movie so let's go ahead and get into our final movie tonight and this one

is called Strip Nude for Your Killer. What a freaking title for a movie. But let's go to whatever trailer I can find right now. There'll probably be a shameless one, so who knows what it'll be like. But we'll go ahead and do the trailer now. The murderer who has been terrorizing the Metropolis for the last 10 days seems to have struck again. The Albatross Photographic Studio, the place that seems to be in the middle of this terrible series of crimes. Thank you.

which the authorities ashore were committed by the same person. The succession of events has terrorized the city of Milan. All right, Ian, take it away, brother. What do you got for a plot? All right, so as usual when we do Giallo movies, this is taken from Troy Howard's So Deadly, So Perverse, Volume 2 in this case. A fashion model dies during a botched abortion and is covered up and made to look like a death from natural causes. Later on, a maniac.

begins targeting the models and employees of the agency with whom she was employed. Boom, boom. This one's starring Edward Finich as well as Nino Castellanova. uh this one is really fun too i really enjoyed this one uh i had seen this one before and i feel like i enjoyed it more the second time i've watched this one or i don't know how many times i've seen it at least twice now

And I really actually enjoyed it more this time, I think, than the first time I watched it. But let's get into it. So we, of course, have Edward Finich, who everybody knows. As soon as you see her cat eyes, you're like, okay, there's Edward Finich. Nino Castelnuo is playing Carlo in this movie, and I really enjoyed this character as well. I thought this one was a... I don't know. I just really enjoyed him. And then you got Femi Benussi, who plays Lucia. So anybody else? What was...

Who was the character that you liked the most in this one? There was one that really stood out to me, and I cannot find the person's face right now to know because their names... or really, you know, I got to go by face. Oh, Franco. So Franco Diagini, who plays Maruzzi Pazani. a lot of awkward scenes. This dude's a horny dude that just can't get going. Uh, and he's like morbidly obese too, you know, for being, yeah, like,

He was actually a comedian in Italy. He was a well-known comedian. He has a good part in Suspicious Death of a Minor as well. Later on, he played a role in the Standall Syndrome. You do see him in a scene there, and he actually looks better in that film. It looked like he had lost not a ton of weight, but definitely a considerable amount by that point in his life. Nice.

Well, his character, he definitely has some mommy issues in this one. Yeah. But it was funny. There's a scene with him, and he's trying to get it on with the character, and he's in his... whitey tighties it's such an awkward scene he's like getting all off on and then he's like oh I can't do it mommy well so okay I've never known what happens in that scene if it's you know, erectile dysfunction or if it's premature ejaculation. I actually don't know which of the two that it is.

for him in that scene agree because they don't elaborate yeah they don't elaborate enough on it although she does say in the next scene that they you know that she pleased him more so i think it must have been a pre okay because she does mention it afterwards he's all disappointed and then you know he goes to the doll and he's like you're the only one i can do this with you know i mean it kind of you know it's it's

It goes from, you know, what would be kind of a pretty, you know, basically a rape scene to kind of a sad scene with how he feels, you know. So it's kind of interesting in that regard. You know, the thing about this movie is the kills are really vicious. You've got the killer wearing the motorcycle get up, which is something.

that had been done right before this and what have they done to your daughters but it would also go uh go on to be something that uh would be in night school yeah the slasher film um If there is a flaw to this movie, because I do love this movie, it's that the kill scenes are very suspenseful. There's really no build-up to them. The killer just kind of pops out and stabs someone. Yes, absolutely. And I love

the kills in this movie that they're great. They're, they're really graphic for the time, especially. Yeah, there's like, and it's usually stabbings, which we love in Jallows. And here's the thing, like there's even a sequence where one gets stabbed in the neck early in this movie and you see the blood kind of dripping out. Yeah, you do. Yeah. It's like, it's, you know, it's, you know, this is one of the few Jallows that isn't like.

martino fulci or argento that has that kind that level of violence and blood and gore in it agree man so this one definitely has that i love the look of the killer i love the motorcycle outfit i love the black helmet i love You know, it's a black-gloved killer. It is that, and kills with a blade, but...

You clearly, watching through the movie, there are moments where there's one scene where the killer comes into this one person's house and he's like oh hey how you doing and oh i didn't know you drove a motorcycle and all this yeah very slasher you know movie moment you know i always think of

friday the 13th when steve christie is like oh hey what are you doing out in this mess or even in uh sleepaway camp where everyone recognizes the person in sleepaway camp they were like what are you doing here so it's very similar to that uh Also, I do think if you're paying attention, you can't tell who the killer is. you can maybe tell what their gender is by how they look in that outfit. Agreed. One million percent. And I think once the reveal's done,

You obviously know when the one guy's saying, oh, hey, how you doing? I can't believe you dropped. You know, there are clues. There are clues. And was you surprised with the killer? I wasn't, honestly, once it was revealed. I didn't know who it was, but when it was revealed, I'm like. That makes 100% sense. Actually, yeah, I was. I did not remember who it was.

They do a good job with like three different people with red herrings. They do. They actually they they do a good job with a couple of people and then a more. central character by making one particular character just so unlikable and prone to outbursts of violence that you're like, well, this person could be the killer too. So, I mean, Nino Castellanovo, I do like him.

but you know as carlo he's one of the most unlikable giallo characters ever for a big character right i mean he has his moments where he's amusing but there are moments when it's just like like he's just i mean He, you know, at one point he starts strangling Magda for no reason at all. There's another moment, you know, where... He's going off on Stefano and Doris for not doing what he wants during the...

photo shoot. There's that moment where he's in the hospital bed where he's talking to Magda and he's getting all mad at her for not being able to find you know his role of film or whatever I mean he's just he's just really unlikable then at the end of the movie the movie ends on a bum note so to speak With that, I mean, you know, with that whole thing where he says, oh, I'm just joking multiple times.

he's doing stuff that she does not want him to do it's just yeah he's not a very likable main character and he's not really investigating anything he kind of just happens into this like Magda, it's interesting that Edwidge Fennett kind of comes full circle here because In her early films, she was playing this... tormented women woman for showing her sexuality you know she was very fragile in a lot of those films then and your vice is a locked room and only i have the key she plays the bad girl

And then in this, she plays the investigator. She's the one doing the investigating in this more so than Carlo. True. That's true. What about Femi Benussi, who plays Lucia in this movie, right? And we see her at the very beginning. The awkward scene where she comes trying to... The way she's walking, she's trying to seducively walk, right? Like with a bikini. Doing that wiggle and the runaway. Nobody walks like that. Nobody in their right mind walks. So anyway.

So when they walk by and you see Carlos, or somebody says something, Carlos says, I'll find out. And he gets up and he's awkward.

not i won't say speedos but whatever oh yeah yeah i told pearl look at these things like they're red they're red and green italy colors whatever but just the brightest goofiest looking short but he takes her into the sauna room, you know, You know, the sweet talk about how he's this photographer and then has her go into the sauna because that's the perfect place to take pictures, right? and go in there and get her naked, and then he goes into seducing and having sex.

So just an awkward sequence. Then he brings her in, right? He's like, here. here's what we're going to do. This is your new it girl. And they're like, you know, which whore is this, right? Or what prostitute did you bring in? And I'm like, damn, Edward Finch is coming at it hard, man. Like, damn, calling her a whore. But then we see where her character goes from there.

Lots of moments in this one that are fun. There are some little scratch your head. I had some few moments where just scratching my head at it. But overall, man, I just really enjoyed this one too. Well, and I did too, but there are multiple moments in this movie, like this movie would not get made today for a multitude of reasons, but... you have multiple moments where men kind of just force themselves on women and they don't do anything like it's like the moment when carlo does it with

uh, with Femi Benutzi in the sauna, she just doesn't do anything. Like all of a sudden he's just like, yeah, we're going to have sex. She just doesn't care. Yeah. And then the moment with Doris where she, you know, had been fighting. against uh franco diagini's character as maurizio she's like fighting and then all of a sudden she's okay with it yeah she just stops she just stops and like take her takes her clothes off she's okay with it it's like what

what is this? What, what just happened? Right. You know, um, but uh also to me there's some amazing like dubbing moments in this film like In the English tub, I don't know which version you watched. The English version is, I think, pretty hard to find if you don't own the movie. Which version did you watch? I watched the Italian. It was on Arrow. Yeah. Well, in the English dub, there are some really entertaining moments, like everything that Franco Degene's doing when he's driving the car.

Like there's that moment where she says, hey, that light's red. And then he's like, no, it's as green as your face. There are some really entertaining dubbing moments. The part when they're doing the photo shoot with Stefano and Doris.

uh carlos like you know you you want to make the guy who sees this you know he sees you in this want to come or something like that it's like um they're they're they're just those those moments and like i said the line in the intro i had that line that femi benuzzi says about Being a model, wanting to be a model and not a kept woman or a slave. So there's some really entertaining dubbing moments in the English dub here.

Yeah. And this one, you know, harkens back to Blood and Black Lace with taking place at this, you know, for this modeling studio. Yeah, definitely. I think the sets in this is pretty cool, man. I'll be honest. And it is revolving around a lot of modeling.

uh we were in a you're in the uh black room you know as far as the uh uh where you develop film i was trying to get that out there developing film there's some cool sequences in there as well uh so there's some fun moments in this movie man i think some of the uh set pieces are awesome man i just i really

Really had fun, and I had remembered immediately. It took that very opening sequence with the shorts that I was like, I remember this movie. Of all things, the shorts makes me remember this movie. No, I definitely remembered it because I've seen it a few times.

I was going to say at the beginning, the opening for the on the Blu-ray, you can choose which one you want to view. Whereas in the beginning, you can have like a regular colored version or you can have like a tinted version where it's like this. this sort of dark blue, almost like in a, in a, in a, you know, in a photography dark room almost, except that it's blue instead of red for that opening abortion sequence. Yeah.

And then, you know, the commentary was fun with Adrian Smith and David Flynn, I think they talked about, you know, just the bizarre tonal shifts in this movie. Like a kill will happen. And the next scene, Edwidge Fennec and Nino Castellanovo are talking about coffee. They're having this argument about putting milk in coffee.

You know, she has this moment. She's like, you're a barbarian. You can't ruin coffee like that. You know, like that's that stuff is pretty funny. You get one of my another one of my favorite dubbing moments is the. The other photographer who gets killed is that part where he's like, what are you doing? You're spilling my whiskey. And then and then. He just proceeds to stand there, do nothing as the killer is going at him. Like absolutely nothing whatsoever. Yeah.

to defend himself it's it's really funny very odd moment man that opening reminded me when you were talking about that abortion sequence at the very beginning that was such an awkward moment like opening sequence of this movie is you see bush and you see a girl laying and you're like what did we watch like instantly that's like the first thing you see in this movie

yeah and you got the bass line going it's got a jazzy sound to it so yeah it definitely does jazzy kind of noir actually also yeah the brass and everything yeah yeah absolutely But fun watch, man. So let's see. What do you got on Dubbing Corner on this one? There are a lot of them for this one, actually. So, Luis Cinelli is dubbing Nino Castellanovo as Carlo. Ed Mannix at the beginning is dubbing the abortionist that you hear on the phone with Carlo for a moment.

I think he might be dubbing another voice as well, but I'm not 100% sure. Michael Forrest is dubbing the inspector, the commissioner. So Lucio Como as the commissioner. William Keel is dubbing Stefano. I'm just trying to find the actor here, if I can find him somewhere. We'll have Wainer very, um, or Vayner very, uh, something like that. Um, Carolyn DeFonseca is dubbing the. the head of the modeling agency. Where is her, the actor's credit?

Is it Amanda? Amanda as Gisela. Just Amanda. That's what she goes by apparently. Susan Spafford is dubbing... Joris. So that would be Erna Scherer. That is a lot. And then let's see here. I think it's Anthony LaPena. is dubbing Claudio Pellegrini as the other photographer. I can't remember the character's name right at the moment. Gene Luoto is dubbing Franco Diogene as Maurizio. Voices in here somewhere too. Maybe as one of the other cops. Louis Cinelli is Nino Castellanovo again.

Okay, yeah, that's pretty much it. There's a lot of them for this one. There are a lot of good voices in there. It explains why the dubbing is so amusing for this one. It was fun. Let's see here. So for this one, it's... Here's the original. Let me see if I can do this, Ian. Let's get the Italian. Nude Perle Assassin. Assassin. Assassin. Assassin. Something like that. I've seen the title. The Italian poster is pretty cool. I love how it's like a gloved killer holding an image of

of three models and they're kind of drawn and it's your main characters in this movie. So I kind of dig it, man. It's actually really fun. This one was a screenplay by Massimo Filosotti, and it's a good screenplay. Cinematography, Franco Dele Colli, and... I think cinematography is good in this one for sure. Yeah, both the Deli Collies have done a ton of stuff. Countless movies to name. It was Franco.

Yes, Franco. Okay, I'll look up his credits here while I'm going. I should have remembered to do that, but he's done a ton of stuff. Both the brothers, Tonino and Franco have both done a ton of stuff. Django Kill. uh macabre the lamberto baba movie nice uh he's done pierre palo movies with pierre palo pasolini and loschino visconti including the leopard

which is a really well-known R-House movie. So yeah, he's got some really good credits to his name. And yeah, the cinematography for this is really good. Nice. And music by Berto Pisano. And enjoy the music in this one. Like I said, it's kind of jazzy. It's kind of cool. Yeah, I enjoy it too. I enjoyed both scores for these movies. That's exactly what I was going to say. I thought both scores were actually entertaining, man. They were actually...

It was something I would listen to, man, and I enjoyed that. The kills, like we said, are brutal in this one. Really well done. I loved that. They were violent. They were very violent. The stabbings were very forceful, and I liked that they went there. The reveal of the killer.

Once they revealed who the killer was, once again, I was not surprised necessarily. I was like, okay, I get it. I'm not going to be questioning this. I can understand why this is the killer. So that was okay. I enjoyed that reveal.

And Edward Finich, man. She's doing Edward Finich. She's done good in this one, man. Like, you know, you knew she would. Do you feel like this one would be more of a slasher than a shallow, though? We do have the... the Gloved Killer, we do have the J&B bottle, we do have our typical uh, shallow moments. Uh, but it could play out as I think a, a early, uh, slasher for sure. Well, to me, to make a giallo, you have to have some kind of mystery, right? And it has to be Italian. So I'd say it fits.

There's a reason why I don't consider a movie like stage fright a giallo. Like everyone puts it in there and look, you can feel free to do whatever you want. I'm not going to criticize that, but I've never considered stage fright a giallo because there's no mystery to it. Right. Yeah.

We got deaths. We have about nine deaths in this movie. So there is a... a good you know role of of deaths in this movie so i got to give him for that as well uh just a fun movie man what else you got on this one uh not too much that i can think of i think i pointed

almost everything out that i've wanted to i'm just trying to think if there's there's anything i mean i like you know you know we talked about this in giallo movies before there's sometimes an object of fascination right in this one it's those earrings and you've got that That great scene of Edwidge Fennec looking through the magnifying glass. Uh, which I found pretty funny. Um, Yeah, I just I think in every scene, there's something to enjoy here.

Femi Benutzi, shout out to her for basically appearing naked in every single scene she's in. Like she's she's got she's got no clothes on more than she ever has clothes on in this movie. True. Yeah. And then I like the scene. So, oh, so the scene when Edwidge Fettick comes in, it says. Hey, why don't I model for you that scene? OK, so. Nino Castellanovo, apparently they did like three or four takes where she's basically pretending to go down on him. He had a broken zipper in his pants.

And apparently at one point he got a hard on. Yeah. Yeah. So that's. that was um something that happened funny oh god and you can see it too by the way whoops yeah he actually um Yeah, it would have been about 10 years before this, maybe nine years. He played the main villain in Lucio Fulci's Massacre Time, Lucio Fulci's Spaghetti Western, which is one of my... is in my top five favorite Lucio Fulci films. He's a really nasty villain in that film. Nice.

All righty, well, let's go ahead and get to the ratings on this. Ian, where you come in for strip nude for your killer? I'm also giving this one a 9.5. The only reason I'm not giving it a 10 is because I think... I mean, it makes up for it with how good the kills are, but there's not much of a lead up to them. Like I said, the suspense could have been better, but that's literally the only criticism I have pretty much. Yeah.

i'm gonna come in at a nine five on this one as well and keeping in mind i've already seen this prior so it's at least one viewing possibly two viewings now or three now but uh so i'm gonna have to throw that in as a nine five for me so uh Yeah, it's called Strip Nude for Your Killer. And before we end and go to our outros and everything, we do have a voicemail to get to Ian. Nice. Let's get to this voicemail and we'll see what we got going on here.

Hey guys, excuse me, Luke Urza calling for Black God Mysteries with an exceptionally small review of Cry of a Prostitute. So my impressions of the movie. I thought initially the good, the bad, and the ugly. Meet High Plains Drifter. Meet an Italian mob movie. What struck me early in the picture was the telltale good, bad, and the ugly whistling. before the gunslinger enters the scene. And I also thought... High Plains Drifter, you know, a stranger, a gun for hire who comes into town.

It makes for good entertainment, I suppose. After speaking with Ian, though, similarities and comparisons to A Fish Full of Dollars... Maybe more appropriate than good, bad, and the ugly comparison. Or High Plains Drifter, excuse me, comparison. I found the sex scenes a little over the top, I believe.

you know one can use sex to make a point or deliver a message without uh let's say having sex and involving a dead gutted pig as an example um The sex scenes reminded me of several Dirty Harry movies, minus the pig. I found similarities to many Clint Eastwood movies of that era, whether they were westerns or detective pictures. Generally speaking, the cast of the movie was good.

The movie was entertaining. Again, I thought by the era when the movie was made... I thought a very Italian kind of themed movie. but a little bit similar to Eastwood movies of that time. Thanks, guys. Hey, man, have a good podcast. There we go, Ian. Love, love, love the call. Yeah, I enjoyed that, too. And yeah, I had spoken with them. The High Plains Drifter comparison is accurate, and even a certain scene in a stable actually is reminiscent of High Plains Drifter as well.

So, uh, and, and the whistling thing. Yeah. I mean, again, you have that in all of the Sergio Leone movies. So whether it's a good, the bad and the ugly or a fistful of dollars, they all kind of have that. And I compared it more specifically to, for a few dollars more, cause that has more of the. The whole vengeance flashback thing. So there are similarities with all of them.

I'm glad that he seemed to enjoy it, or at least parts of it. Some of those scenes I can definitely see being comparable to Dirty Harry, specifically Sudden Impact. That has a flashback scene that's kind of... similar uh as well so there there there definitely are similarities with all the things he was comparing it to and yeah it definitely does have a very italian uh feel to it as well yeah absolutely Well, cool. Good hearing from them.

So this is the episode, but before we wrap this up, Ian, we want to say... uh, what's coming up on the next episode. And this is something special. This is, we'll call it groundbreaking. I could do that in a, you know, let me do an Apollo. I'm Paul. I'm not even doing a Paul. I can't do it. But anyways, we're going to do something different and not different. So you're going to continue hearing Black Glove Mysteries, of course, here on LOTC.

But we're going to go video. That's right. So starting the next episode, Ian and I will be going video for Black Glove Mysteries. So we'll see how long it lasts. Hopefully we'll continue it. But in order to see it. you will need to go to my YouTube channel. So if you go over to the show notes, you can click my YouTube link.

uh if you are not subscribed to it and you can go over there and watch it uh it'll drop the same day as the episode will drop as well okay so uh you will still hear it as you normally would on fridays on the platform it's just we're going to give another option and that'll be video so you can check out ian and i Yeah, on screen. So that is going to be what's happening starting on episode 426, DD61, if you're keeping count. And what is that episode going to be?

doing Umberto Lenzi's Eyeball. It's the last Umberto Lenzi Giallo movie we have to do, and then we're also going to be ranking. umberto lindsey's yellow movies yeah so we are going to rank just his yellow films listeners we're not going to go down all his filmography But just his shallow films, we're going to be ranking them from top to bottom. So it's going to be super fun, man.

I hope you will tune in for that, of course, here. But also, if you want to check us out on video, man, that would be awesome as well. So head over to my YouTube channel and subscribe to that. So it's going to be fun. And, you know, we'll see what goes on down in the future. That as well. Yeah. Who wants to see this ugly mug? Yeah, Mortis Vision will not be video, okay? It will just be Black Glove Mysteries. So that would be the only thing that would be going video. So just stay tuned for that.

So with that said, Ian, I'm super excited for the next episode. I'm looking forward to doing some Roberto Lindsay rankings, and I'm also looking forward to Eyeball. I can't wait to check that out. I need to buy that freaking movie.

Yeah, it can be found on YouTube. I know I always talk about where these films can be found. You can definitely find it on YouTube. I do have the 88 Films Blu-ray. I'm not entirely sure if they're... any special features maybe there's an interview or something because sometimes 88 films

This is one of the older 88 films ones, like those Italian collection ones. It might have an interview on there or something. Yeah, I feel like it was like number 45 or something like that in the Italian collection. Back in the day, and we'll end up right here, back in the day, Ian, this would have been probably, I don't know, I can't even say, probably 2013 or something like that.

but anyways they ran a sale they had a box set where you could get all the italian collection that they had at the moment numbered And at the time, it was like, I still vividly remember the sale was like 160 pounds. But you were getting, God, it was like at the time, maybe 20. I want to say it was like 15 or 20. The first 15 or 20 of the Italian collection. I'm like.

And I didn't, they had the slashers in the same box set. And I wish I'd have got that. Has anybody listening got that set? I want to know if you bought it and what it came like as a box set, if you do have it. But man, I really wish I'd have done that back in the day. I wish. But yeah, wishing is. Yeah, the movie I wish I had from them so much more than any other.

is um mad dog killer aka beast with a gun i really wish i could have gotten that release um it was one of those ones that i think went out of print very very quickly Um, cause there's never been a better release of it since. So hopefully some company comes up with it. Cause that is, that is a movie definitely worthy of getting a great release. You've got helmet burger. giving a villain performance that's on the level of like Tomas Melian or David Hess. Love me some David Hess, buddy. Yeah.
