Devin & James are back in the Den, and are go for launch! As we return to our Tour of Italy, this time the action will take us right into the stratosphere with ITALIAN SCIENCE FICTION! We start with the doomed visitors to Mario Bava's PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES, a still underappreciated film that inspired a generation of Sci-Fi writers and directors. We then swing into more action with the utterly bizarre, early body horror, Antonio Margheriti's WILD, WILD PLANET (it's wild enough to deserve it twice in the title). Then we take off for a galaxy far, far away-ish with Luigi Cozzi's Star Wars wannabe, STARCRASH. Finally, we follow up with more Luigi Cozzi with the (occasionally) explosive CONTAMINATION. Strap in, folks... this is gonna be a messy ride.

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!!

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!
