    Halloween PODcast: Invasion of the Body Snatchers ('56, '78, '93, & '07)

    Devin & James are back, and we've brought fun size candy! We're taking a short detour from our Tour of Italy to celebrate Halloween, and what better way than by running a movie marathon? We take on one of the most unique series in film history: All four of the INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS films! The pod people first invade in 1956, then make an even more gruesome return in 1978, creating two undisputably beloved and influential Sci-Fi Horror classics. Then things stray from the storyline with 1993's BODY SNATCHERS, a lost classic worth another look (or a first look, for most people), and 2007's THE INVASION, which is... almost good? But fun to discuss. With both Halloween and Election Day near, it feels like we are ready for the Pods to appear on our silver screens again. They're here! You're next!!

    Tour of Italy: Supernatural Horror

    Devin & James are back in the DEN OF CIN, and it's getting a little spooky in here as we continue our TOUR OF ITALY. This time we are taking on SUPERNATURAL HORROR. There were a lot of ghouls, goblins, ghosts, and witches lurking around Italy during their classic horror period, and we get things started with one of the first: Mario Bava's iconic BLACK SABBATH, starring Boris Karloff! We follow that up with the Dario Argento oddity PHENOMENA (known here in the U.S. as CREEPERS, with about 34 minutes butchered out!), before moving into lesser-seen Lucio Fulci territory with the maestro's bizarre AENIGMA. We end things on a film that defines what a forgotten cult classic can be, with Gianfranco Giagni's brain-melting SPIDER LABYRINTH. Join us to get Spooky Season started off with a BOO!

    Tour of Italy: Spaghetti Westerns

    Devin & James are back in the saddle for another roundup of Italian flicks. A sampling of the cultiest of all cult genres, the SPAGHETTI WESTERNS! When Clint Eastwood rode through Spain and called it Mexico in 1964's Fistful of Dollars, it started a legit European phenomenon that would produce over 600 titles in barely over ten years! Whereas the American Westerns often whitewashed and mythologized its own westward history, the idea of the good guys always wearing white was losing steam by the 1960s, and the Italians had no sentimentality toward the Earp or James clans as historical figures. The Italian Western hero was the epitome of the anti-hero. Not so much straddling the line between good and bad, but rather stomping on it with their spurred boots. The settings may have been North American, but the politics were purely Italian. We start our discussion with the G.O.A.T., the transformative masterpiece that is Sergio Leone's ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST. We then move on to the sub-sub-genre of the Zapata Westerns (set within the Mexican Revolution) with Damiano Damiani's criminally underappreciated A BULLET FOR THE GENERAL. Then we lighten the mood a bit with a couple of Westerns that border on comedies while still being bloody and wild. The master Sergio Corbucci (so much more than "The Other Sergio") takes us on a wild ride across the border and back in COMPANEROS, and we finish up with the first film in Gianfranco Parolini's super-stylized hero-in-black series, SABATA! We've wrangled all your favorite Spaghetti West heroes: Nero, Milian, Van Cleef, Bronson, Fonda, Volonte, Kinski, and so many more. But when you hear the harmonica or banjo begin playing, you better run!

    Tour of Italy: Religious Horror

    Devin & James are back in the Den for more Italian scares! This time our focus is on RELIGIOUS HORROR, which has been possessing Italian horror since nearly the beginning of the genre during the sound era. We start with the immortal masterpiece, Mario Bava's BLACK SUNDAY (without which Tim Burton movies would have been very different). We then move on to our first legacy film of the series, DEMONS, the ultimate what-the-fuck popcorn demon movie by Lamberto Bava (Mario's son). Then we swing toward Michele Soavi's more artful (but still seriously gory and gross) THE CHURCH. And finally, what trip through the Gates of Hell would be complete without Lucio Fulci's classic THE BEYOND (which will burn your eyeballs out of your face, if the tarantulas don't get to them first)? Plus we get into honorable mentions for Lisa & The Devil, Demons 2, The Sect, and the other bloody entries in Fulci's GATES OF HELL trilogy. We've packed a lot into this pop culture sermon.

    Tour of Italy: Post-Apocalypse

    Devin & James are back in the Den, and this time they brought their leather vests and switchblade boots cause they're ready for the Italian POST-APOCALYPSE. The post-atomic wasteland became all the rage globally after the success of films like Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior and Escape from New York, and clever (and not-so-clever) copycats began to pop up everywhere. But, as usual, the Italian filmmakers did take the proverbial yellowcake. In this episode we focus on Enzo Castellari's 1990: THE BRONX WARRIORS, Joe D'Amato's ENDGAME, Lucio Fulci's WARRIORS OF THE YEAR 2072, and finally, Sergio Martino's HANDS OF STEEL. Don't forget your spiked wristbands!

    Tour of Italy: Cannibals & Zombies

    Devin and James are back in the Den, and ready to take you on an Italian picnic! (If you can stomach it.) As we continue our sampling of Italian genre films, we finally hit on a few legit Video Nasties with two of the most popular and trigger warning-worthy subgenres, CANNIBALS and ZOMBIES. We start things off with scandal right away in Ruggero Deodato's CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST, followed by a visit to Umberto Lenzi's NIGHTMARE CITY (Don't you dare call them zombies!). Then we move from living flesh eaters to the undead ones with Andrea Bianchi's super bizarre BURIAL GROUND, and top off the meal with (what else?) Lucio Fulci's legendary ZOMBIE! (or is it Zombie 2?) There will be something to explore for every taste but good taste. Bon appetit!

    Tour of Italy: Sword & Sandal & Sorcery

    Devin & James are back in the Den, and the Den is still in Italy! In our second Tour of Italy episode, we are going back to the roots of the Italian genre/cult film era with the SWORD & SANDAL films of the 1950s and 60s, introducing film fans to the hero Hercules for the first time, and giving us our first film of the evening, Mario Bava's colorful HERCULES IN THE HAUNTED WORLD. From there, we move to the SWORD & SORCERY era of the 1980's, where we examine some films that owe an awful lot to Conan the Barbarian and The Beastmaster, starting with Joe D'Amato's ATOR, THE FIGHTING EAGLE, followed closely by Lucio Fulci's CONQUEST, and ending the show (and kind of the entire genre) with Ruggero Deodato's THE BARBARIANS (yes, the one starring the Barbarian Twins)! Join us on our quest! We promise plenty of feats of strength, loincloths, snakes, spiders, naked women, gore, and head bashing.

    Tour of Italy: Giallo

    Devin & James are back in the Den with a new topic! We are taking a TOUR OF ITALY, an 8-episode long series, each featuring a different sub-genre created or perfected by Italian filmmakers. We begin with a journey through the shadowy dream territory of GIALLO films. These films are highly stylized murder mysteries, most with a heaping helping of gore. We offer up a sample of some great specimens, and specifically some of the great directors, in this uniquely Italian movement, with a focus on Mario Bava's BLOOD & BLACK LACE, Lucio Fulci's DON'T TORTURE A DUCKLING, Sergio Martino's TORSO, and of course, Dario Argento's DEEP RED. We also go over a few other titles, as well as define the tropes that make a Giallo easy to spot, even if it's not so easy to spot that gloved killer sneaking up from behind!
