Happy October friends!  Apologies for missing an episode in September but certain conflicts got in the way including filming the first Filmed Obscura film.  So in true F.O. fashion, you will get two episodes in October.  First up:  a film that Justin thought was a traditional Giallo...but he was wrong.  It's a classic Italian horror film though!  The boys watched Pupi Avati's The House with Laughing Windows.  With this, they also did a fun Top 5 Giallo list for your listening pleasure.  Listen...there are some very real debates about what constitutes a Giallo and a Slasher, and what might be adjacent.  Chris and Justin dive into it.  Are they still stuck in the bottom of the pool of the debate?  Maybe...but there will be some good films discussed and the audience should check out!!!  Grab your October beverages and cuddle up, this podcast is the first part of a double treat.  Next Episode will drop before Halloween!

The 2 Guys journey on through 1970s horror, and this week focuses on the year 1976. Frank's films include the giallo The House with the Laughing Windows, the early Jodie Foster/Martin Sheen film The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane, the killer-child movie Who Can Kill a Child?, the psychological, early slasher film The Witch Who Came from the Sea, and the Peter Sykes offering To the Devil a Daughter. Finally, if you have your own ideas for the podcast, you can also email us with list suggestions at 2guys5movies@gmail.com, and thank you all for listening and your support.

After a brief summer vacation, the Accademia Giallo crew returns with a no-laughing-matter look at The House with Laughing Windows!In Pupi Avati's 1976 thriller, Stefano, a young restorer, is commissioned to save a controversial mural located in the church of a small, isolated village. Of course, this synopsis from IMDb leaves out all the tawdry details of the village's history with torture, sex, and murder--but we'll give them an "A" for effort!In today's lesson, your fearsome faculty looks at the many ways in which Laughing Windows breaks the gialli mold, while also expanding the genre's potential in its later stages. Ian calls it “the Last Jedi of giallo”—but don't let that scare you away from this unique and ultra-disturbing slice of pastoral horror."Accademia Giallo" is Kicking the Seat's monthly deep dive into Italian Horror's "giallo" sub-genre.

In this third and final segment of Kat and Samm’s series on obscure but stunning giallo films, they look at five of their favorite titles—nearly all of which involve a protagonist’s descent into madness—beginning with Francesco Barilli’s The Perfume of the Lady in Black (1974). Mimsy Farmer stars as a troubled scientist who begins to have flashbacks about her mother’s suicide and is alarmed to find her life quickly unraveling. In Umberto Lenzi’s Spasmo (1974), a man begins a relationship with a woman, saving her from attempted murder, only to realize that he may be in the middle of a deadly conspiracy meant to drive him mad. Mimsy Farmer returns for Armando Crispino’s Autopsy (1975), where she stars as a pathology student writing a thesis on suicides. This just happens to coincide with a wave of them across Rome, though she believes that some of these are actually murders. The same year’s wonderfully eerie Footprints on the Moon follows another female protagonist (the great Florinda Balkan), who misses several days of work, but can’t remember what she did during that time, and the clues lead her to an isolated resort town. But there the residents confuse her with another woman. The series concludes with what is surely one of the most terrifying giallo films ever made, Pupi Avati’s House with the Laughing Windows (1976), which follows an art historian to a small town, where he is charged with restoring a grisly fresco in a church. He comes to be haunted by memories of the mad painter responsible for it and suspects that the man might still be alive…

From the fashion house massacre of Mario Bava's Blood and Black Lace, to Dario Argento's prog-rock gender fluid nightmare Deep Red, to the otherworldly regional horror of Pupi Avati's House with Laughing WIndows, we're dipping our toe in the big messy puddle of style that is the giallo film. So cool it hurts - literally - the giallo film is a staple of Italian cinema that mixes crime thriller and horror with a healthy dose of gender politics and fabulous interiors... not to mention a smattering of queer characters who pop up in the most unlikely places. So if you're new to giallo, delve in with us. If you're a seasoned vet, see how we get on with our first foray into the black leather gloved mayhem. And if we get hysterical just slap us and take us to bed. Spoiler alert. Bad language alert. Why else would you listen? ;-)
