Sammy from the Gentlemen's Guide to Midnite Cinema is back to sing a love song to the Spaghetti Western with us. Well, not sing, exactly, but we sure do talk a lot about them.

Castellari. We will be announcing a Spoiler Territory section for both films, so if you haven't seen them before you listen, you can nevertheless avoid spoilers for The Great Silence by skipping ahead to the 1:22:41 mark, and for Keoma by skipping ahead to 2:26:05.

Episode 44: Pierrot le Fou + The Awakening of the Beast

Samm Deighan joins us today to talk about the cinema of resistance, as profiled in her fantastic new book, Revolution in 35mm: Political Violence and Resistance in Cinema from the Arthouse to the Grindhouse, 1969-1990. In addition, we discuss a double feature plucked from the pages of this fantastic book: Pierrot le Fou (1965), directed by Jean-Luc Godard, and The Awakening of the Beast (1970), directed by José Mojica Marins. Samm is one of the finest film historians working today in the cult and exploitation cinema space (and beyond), and we were super excited to have her on the show. Our discussion takes in the diverse and fascinating world of cinematic political violence but we also take the time to marvel at Coffin Joe's plucky provocation, recognise Godard as one of film's most important innovators and bemoan the ridiculously long runtime of modern superhero movies. It's not really possible to spoil The Awakening of the Beast, but we will call out Spoiler Territory for Pierrot le Fou. If you want to skip ahead from that point, you can rejoin the conversation at the 1:12:20 mark to avoid spoilers. Buy Revolution in 35mm here. Join Samm Deighan's Patreon here.

Episode 43: Haxan + Beyond the Door

Happy Halloween! We're dropping this week's episode two days early to chime in on the spooky holiday fun. Dr Ethan Lyon gets all devilish with us as we check out Haxan (1922), directed by Benjamin Christensen, and then Beyond the Door (1974), directed by Ovidio Assonitis. In our usual roundabout way, our discussion of these films leads us to some unexpected questions such as: Is Halloween America's greatest ever export? Is the hyrax nature's sleaziest rodent? Are Beatrix Potter's idyllic stories actually a horrifying animal dystopia in disguise? And last but not least, how advisable is it to play wind instruments through your nose? It's not really possible to spoil Haxan as it doesn't have a conventional plot, but we will call out Spoiler Territory for Beyond the Door. If you want to skip ahead from that point, you can rejoin the conversation at the 1:51:18 mark to avoid spoilers. Want to get in touch? You can reach us on caliber9fromouterspace@gmail.com Rob's alternate sountrack for Haxan can be found on Spotify here Theme music: "The Cold Light of Day" by HKM.

Episode 42: To Live and Die in LA + Bug

Paranoia is in the air. The check is in the mail, and we love you, and we promise not to... well, let's leave the blue language for the podcast. We will be announcing a Spoiler Territory section for both films, so if you haven't seen them before you listen, you can nevertheless avoid spoilers for To Live and Die in LA by skipping ahead to the 1:04:54 mark, and for Bug by skipping ahead to 1:35:38.

Episode 41: Starcrash + Turkish Star Wars (The Man Who Saved the World)

The exploitation world of Star Wars rip-offs: you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

In all honesty, we don't think it's possible to spoil these two slices of psychedelic sci-fi wonderment, so there will be no Spoiler Territory this week. Buckle in for intergalactic David Hasselhoff hair, Caroline Munro in a vinyl bikini, diabolical Joe Spinell in a giant clawship and some absolutely mindbending insanity from the otherworldly desertscape of Cappadocia, Turkey.
