The Visitor, 1979 (Ep. 004)

On this episode of the MacGuffin Guild, we're going to take part in the fight between the forces of Good and Evil, as well as battle utter confusion in the world of The Visitor.

This 1979 Spaghetti Sci-Fi Classic, directed by Giulio Pardisi, also known as Michael J. Paradise.

Starring Lance Henriksen, Glenn Ford, Joanne Nail, Shelley Winters, Paige Conner and Sam Peckinpah as Dr. Sam Collins.

We're going to discuss Italian Sound dubbing, Powerful Orgy People, Space Carneys, attacking birds, what sort of person gifts a gun at a child's birthday party and the horrible plot twist of the ladybug.

We'll get into the music of Franco Micalizzi and his impact on modern pop culture, the longest escalator in the world, Lance Henriksen's thoughts on the film and what came first? Science... or car phones.

I'm Pat Dougherty and as always I'll be joined by my fellow
MacGuffin's Justin Jones and Mike Antonio.  Our theme song was written
and performed by Jordan Vincent. Now pay attention, avoid the birds and try not to get too confused by The Visitor.

Let's get to it!
