Wild, Wild Podcast - Ranking the Fumetti - Plus Two Bonus Films!

Wild, Wild Podcast has made it to the end of the season, but which films were favorites, and which were bottom of the pile? Find out in this final episode of 2024's deep dive into the Fumetti-inspired films of Italy as we rank every film. Plus, Rod watched Diabolik (2021) and Adrian watched Super Stooges vs the Wonder Women (1974). Who got the better part of that deal? Listen to find out!

Wild, Wild Podcast - Season 7 Ep. 8 - Danger: Diabolik (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. He may need to go into hiding!

We are now halfway through 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 scaled a castle wall to steal priceless diaomonds.

The Bloody Pit #1 - 10 Favorite Movies

This is the first episode of a new podcast and I must say I'm excited to be bringing this to you. The plan for this show is for each episode be on a different subject depending on whatever the participants want to discuss. For the first show I've decided to do a short, solo piece about my ten favorite movies. This will let listeners know where I'm coming from as a film fan and maybe even hint at some of the topics to be covered in the future. I have hopes that this will spark some back & forth as others compose their list of favorites as well. I've also added an older review to the end that I hope will jumpstart some discussion about a certain science fiction franchise. This is short and sweet (?) so I hope you enjoy the first Bloody Pit Podcast! Drop us a line at thebloodypit@gmail.com and let us know what you think.

Deep Deep Down sung by Mike Patton

The fine gentleman Jim Wnoroski pointed me toward this amazing clip of Faith No More frontman Mike Patton doing a brilliant cover of Morricone's theme song for DANGER DIABOLIK. I've been a big fan of Patton for about 20 years but I had no idea he spoke Italian fluently and had done this as well as a number of other fine covers of obscure music from European films. This is simply beautiful and its impossible to not be impressed with Patton's fantastic vocal abilities. Listen and enjoy!
