Proving that there are no obstacles that we won’t overcome to bring you Naschy film discussion here is number Ocho. One of the most talked about of his non-Daninsky films COUNT DRACULA’S GREAT LOVE is an amazing mix of the clunky and the sublime. In a way, this film is a succinct summation of all that is usually praised in a Naschy film and all that is usually criticized. A mangled mess of a story with elements that don’t come together it still shines as an atmospheric horror piece with some truly brilliant moments that often distract you from a script that seems to be running in two directions at once. This film might be the perfect Rorschach test for fans- What do you remember from the film when it’s over?
We discuss vampire tears, non-existent sequels, the variable speed of vampirism, mad voice-overs, active vs. passive film viewing and the relative merits of a script with too many contributors.
You will find the sound quite variable as I had to cull the entire show from multiple sources. I apologize for the occasional distortion and changes in sonic quality. The uphill battle to get these shows made is often surprising for us untutored computer illiterates. Drop us a line at naschycast@gmail.com

Another fantastic podcast, guys... Simultaneously funny and thoughtful. Thanks again to Rod & Troy!
This weekend I'll have to whip out my copy of CEMETERY GIRLS and watch it again for a heapin' helpin' of gothic Spanish Velveeta. (All the male Transylvanian peasants sound like Montana cowpokes in the English dub!)
Yeah- the two coffin delivery guys at the beginning of the film sound like shitkickers straight off a Texas ranch. Bizarre!
This one was a frustrating view as it really is a film that demonstrates all that can go wrong in a Naschy film. That it is still pretty creepy and not a total loss is heartening but DAMN- the bad elements are bad.
I was glad that we finally addressed the idea of subtitles vs dubbing and how that might make us friendlier toward certain films. When I learn about how well regarded some of the US' worst movies are overseas I have to suspect an odd effect of some type.
