Known as the Devil's violinist, Paganini was so evil that he used something really unconventional to string his violin, and it wasn't spaghetti. How can a late-eighties rock band with a love of Bon Jovi hope to stand up against this most diabolical o... more

Exception podcast on Italian cinema with a delightful focus on genre. Classy, entertaining and very informative. I love this podcast!
Fantastic podcast with two great hosts focusing on Italian genre cinema that’s not horror, westerns or gialli. If you love your cult Italian cinema, but want something different from the usual, this is the podcast you need!
These two bounce off each other well and have a wealth of knowledge on the many wonders of Italian genre cinema-essential listening if you have any interest in filone.
They are knowledgeable and can enjoy imperfect films. Worth checking out.
This is my new favorite podcast. After listening to tons of YT channels and podcasts where all they do is crack jokes and talk about Independence Day for the 10th time; I finally found something with more depth, substance and love for filmmaking. Adrian and Rod are very knowledgeable and love all kinds of film and nerdery but are not snobby about it at all. I always come out learning something new and appreciate all the films they talk about. Thank you.

Two hosts immerse listeners in Italian genre cinema, often focusing on exploitation, giallo, peplum, and related filone titles from the 1960s–1980s. Episodes blend deep production anecdotes, cast histories, restoration news, and festival chatter with a playful, self-aware banter that keeps analysis accessible for fans of cult and genre cinema. The show stands out for its catalog-minded passion, recognition of archival context, and a willingness to connect obscure titles to broader film histories, making it a compelling fit for listeners who love film history, restoration news, and behind-the-scenes trivia.
Noteworthy angles include long-running explorations of Donald Pleasence's Italian projects, nuanced discussions of genre crossovers, an... more
