Episode 128 - There's Always Room for Giallo

With Julie "away on assignment", we decided to head back to Italy to look at a couple of films from a genre that is decidely unfriendly to women, the notorious "giallo".  We start with "What Have You Done To Solange" from 1972 which totally blew us both away. This was a really strong and well-told tale with tons of intrigue and mystery and some very unsavory moments. We use the word "masterpiece" several times in our discussion and stand firmly by that. We follow that up with another solid entry in the genre, 1973's "Torso" which hews much closer to the standards that you expect to see in any giallo.  It's good, but in comparison with the other film, it does not come out on top, but we still say it's worth your time to seek out.  Please let us know what you thought of the show and send us YOUR recommendations for some great giallos to flickersfrom@yahoo.com or flickersfrom@gmail.com. You can also post a message to our Facebook page or tweet us @cavewalls and don't forget about our Instagram page!

Episode 127 - Raw Vampire Robo Force

We kick and punch and resurrect the dead this time in the cave. We start off with a staggeringly inept film from 1988 called Robo Vampire which really has to be seen to be believed. If you are a fan of really bad cinema, this one deserves to be seen. We follow that up with a truly entertaining film from 1982 called Raw Force. It is packed with nudity and wacky comedy which serves to soften a tale of cannibal monks and an undead army of martial artists on a forbidden island. Listen in and then let us know what you thought of the show by writing to flickersfrom@yahoo.com or flickersfrom@gmail.com. You can also find us on Twitter, on Facebook and also over on Instagram.
