    Argoman the Fantastic Superman (Sergio Grieco, 1967)

    Argoman the Fantastic Superman (Sergio Grieco, 1967)

    Argoman or Psychoman? That's the question posed in this episode as we take a look at the pop art-infused crazy world of Sir Reginald Hoover, noted criminologist, playboy and masked criminal. Other questions raised by this film include "Is ten minutes of pleasure worth losing your powers for six hours?" and "Can you really take over the world by being able to make metal bendy?"
    The fumetti season is well underway! 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 your hovercraft was evert forced to the beech by a man with non-specific mind powers.

    Superargo vs Diabolicus (1966) & Superargo and the Faceless Giants (1968)

    Superargo vs Diabolicus (1966) & Superargo and the Faceless Giants (1968)

    In this episode Rod & Adrian grab their bulletproof spandex and head for the wrestling ring for a tag team bout with Superargo! Based on his previous form, it's not likely to end well for our two middle-aged podcasters. Yes, Superargo is here, in a double-bill featuring maniacal mad men, secret underground lairs, killer robots, deadly swamps, femme fatales and extremely valuable cocktail olives!
    The fumetti season is well underway! 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 ever got thrown out of the ring by a man in a mask.

    Kriminal (Umberto Lenzi, 1966) & Il Marchio di Kriminal (Fernando Cerchio, 1968)

    Kriminal (Umberto Lenzi, 1966) & Il Marchio di Kriminal (Fernando Cerchio, 1968)

    The Wild, Wild Podcast emerges blinking into the night after the long dark Christmas break to bring you a new season dedicated to the heroes and villains (but mostly villains) of the films adapted from or inspired by the fumetti neri publishing phenomenon of the sixties (which is still going strong today in Italy).
    Our first episode sees us going toe to toe with a devious, ruthless, devilishly handsome villain, Kriminal. He's self-serving and will stop at nothing to get what he wants, in the comics at least. The films have him toned down a bit, as we explore in this discussion, which also covers such vital topics as the best way to shave and how to deal with your dad being Mussolini.
    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-based films, or if you ever got beaten up and robbed by a man in a skull mask. You can contact us on Twitter and Instagram or by email at wildwildpodcast@gmail.com. Please also remember to rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice!

    Tarzana The Wild Girl (Tarzana, sesso selvaggio, Guido Malatesta, 1969)

    Tarzana The Wild Girl (Tarzana, sesso selvaggio, Guido Malatesta, 1969)

    For the final time, pack your mosquito spray and come with us into the fake jungles of Rome's film studios in search of a mythical white goddess who has the kind of sex appeal that even the animals can dig. Yes, it's Tarzana, the beautiful heiress whose parents died in the plane crash that left her alone in Kenya to survive and thrive, learning such essential jungle skills as how to swing on vines, how to direct elephants, and how to weave tiny thongs.
    In the episode we discuss the lack of available interviews with star Ken Clark. Rod mentions some videos, but on post-episode examination it turns out these are interviews with British politician Ken Clarke. However, the fanzine European Trash Cinema did interview our Ken back in 1995. You can find part of that interview reproduced HERE. If you want to read the whole thing, the issue is currently for sale on eBay.
    The only decent online coverage of Tarzana can be found on the blog Spinning Image.
    We hope you have enjoyed this jungle-themed mini-season. We would love to hear from you if you have any favourite Jungle Girl films, or if you ever got lost in the jungle yourself and ended up befriending the animals or becoming a god to a local tribe.
