    "Spectacular! Thrilling! Different!" This is the quote that headlines the poster for the 1976 film: The Astrologer. Does it tell you who said such things? No. A very telling example for a film so rare and obscure that the only place one may see it is on a website called: archive.org. Some films are forbidden fruit. But instead of possessing the sin of knowledge, they possess the sin of sheer and utter stupidity. In what may perhaps be the greatest piece of vanity art that has ever been captured on screen, the boys are duking it out with the gangly man child that is Craig Denney. A man who is credited with only one film ever in his short "career" as a filmmaker. A man who gives Tommy Wiseau a run for his money. A man who may or may not be dead under the most unusual circumstances.

    The coats are climbing up the exterior wall and into the cubist house of the one and only Dario Argento, to cover what we here at Conspicuous Trenchcoats consider the greatest giallo of all time, 1982's: "Tenebrae". Made and released well outside the giallo boom years of the early 70's, "Tenebrae" marked a return to the sub-genre for Argento; following a brief foray into the fantastique world of "Suspiria" and "Inferno". It was initially released in theaters with a lukewarm reception and heavy censorship, but over time has become a favorite of fans and critics alike.

    The coats are going deep...and deeper...into Dario Argento's 1975 giallo: "Deep Red". If you know anything about giallo, then you know the significance  of Argento's fourth giallo film to the history of the sub-genre. If you don't, then you should stop reading this and watch this film NOW.Looking back, one can say that "Deep Red" was the turning point for Argento, when he shed his skin and embraced the more supernatural elements that he'd been toying with in the creative process leading up to 1975. After a respite from his animal trilogy, and a brief. sojourn into the italian comedy scene with "The Five Days", Argento returned with a renewed taste for horror and a new music collaborator in the prog rock band Goblin (their first--but not last collaboration), that took the world by storm. Director - Dario ArgentoStarring - David Hemmings - Dario Nicolodi - Gabriele LaviaIf you like the show, stab the follow button on your podcast app and write a nice 5-star review to help us grow the show!And if you want some more conspicuous content, support the show on Patreon at: https://www.patreon.com/ConspicuousTrenchcoatsCatch the Coats on:instagram https://www.instagram.com/con.coats/Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ConCoatsconcoats.buzzsprout.comGet your tickets to see your conspicuous host in the new Army of the Dead VR game at: https://armyofthedeadvr.comSpecial Thanks to:Lucas Brahme for our music https://www.lucasbrahme.comUptownStyleStudio for designing our artwork https://www.instagram.com/uptownstylestudio/Veronica Maccarihttps://www.instagram.com/iamveronicamaccari/?hl=enMichael Mackenzie (http://theses.gla.ac.uk/4730/1/2013Mackenziephd.pdf)Troy HowarthArrow VideoJ&B WhiskeyIMDBSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/ConspicuousTrenchcoats)

    The coats are leaving on a jet plane headed all the way back to 1963's Rome, where a film made by one of Italy's premiere auteurs lit the match that sparked the entire Giallo-genre. That director is Mario Bava. The film is "Evil Eye" or "The Girl Who Knew Too Much". A classic black and white thriller that solidifies the giallo tropes; and an ending that has to be seen to be believed!Director - Mario BavaStarring - Letícia Román - John Saxon - Valentina CorteseIf you like the show, hit the subscribe button on apple podcasts and pen a nice 5-star review!And if you REALLY like the show, become a member of our Patreon page at https://www.patreon.com/conspicuoustrenchcoatsCatch the coats on:instagram https://www.instagram.com/con.coats/Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ConCoatsconcoats.buzzsprout.comSpecial Thanks to:Lucas Brahme for our music https://www.lucasbrahme.comUptownStyleStudio for designing our artwork https://www.instagram.com/uptownstylestudio/Veronica Maccarihttps://www.instagram.com/iamveronicamaccari/?hl=enMichael MackenzieTroy HowarthArrow VideoJ&B Whiskey

    The coats are taking a gondola through the Venetian waterways to uncover the mystery behind director Aldo Lado's 1972 giallo: "Who Saw Her Die?". Filled to the brim with classic giallo tropes, this film subverts the genre in a way the coats haven't seen yet; and a score by Ennio Morricone that subverts himself! Will Aldo Lado's sophomore feature undo the wrongs of his first, in the eyes of the coats?

    The coats are sitting down and ordering doubles--no triples--of J&B on the rocks while discussing director Luciano Ercoli's 1972 giallo: "Death Walks at Midnight". From rooftop chases to metal gauntlets and some hair-dos that define the phrase "Style over Substance", this film has it all. The second film the coats have covered from director Luciano Ercoli, previously rifling through his 1970 giallo: "Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion". Have the coats turned coat and revised their opinions?  Is Nieves Navarro the TRUE queen of giallo? And how much product placement for J&B can you fit in one film?

    The coats are biking through the back alleys to answer the all important question of Massimo Dallamano's 1972 giallo: "What Have You Done to Solange?". One of the few core giallos to take place outside of Italy, but with a cast of mainland Europeans. Someone is preying on the girls of a Catholic School in London and the killer's motivation is more precise than one might think. This film gives us some of the most gruesome imagery in the sub-genre. So pour yourself a glass of J&B and enjoy the conspicuous conversation.Director - Massimo DalamanoStarring - Fabio Testi - Cristina Galbo - Karin Baal - Joachim FuchsbergerIf you like the show hit the subscribe button on apple podcasts and pen a nice 5-star review!Catch the coats on:instagram https://www.instagram.com/con.coats/Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ConCoatsSpecial Thanks to:Lucas Brahme for our music https://www.lucasbrahme.comUptownStyleStudio for designing our artwork https://www.instagram.com/uptownstylestudio/Veronica Maccarihttps://www.instagram.com/iamveronicamaccari/?hl=enMichael MackenzieTroy HowarthArrow VideoJ&B Whiskey
