Turn on, tune in and drop out with Rod and Adrian as they enter the wild wild world of 1960s psychedelics. In this episode they take a trip with secret super-agent Rex Miller as he infiltrates the evil international crime organisation E.C.H.O. (just don't try and ask anyone what it stands for) and foils their plans to drug the world with LSD. At least, that's what might be going on. It's honestly hard to tell.

"En garde!" In this episode we jump back in time to seventeenth century France, where dastardly deeds are afoot and the Duchess Isabella is forced to take revenge against the evil Baron Von Nutter for the murder of her entire family and the theft of her family state. And in this film, revenge is a dish best served sexy.

Skin trouble? Grey hair getting you down? Walking with a stoop? Why not take a drug that has not safely been tested on people yet, will probably make you violent, but will definitely make you young and hot? If that sounds good, you too could become Satanik, the anti-hero of our latest episode.
This is one of the few films from this season to have actually been restored, and is currently available on blu ray from Terror Vision and is highly recommended.

In this bonus episode Adrian chats with comic writer Steven Ross, who was responsible for encouraging Luigi Cozzi to write a new story in the Starcrash universe, The Midas Star (which we reviewed in a previous episode). Steven is also working on a new translation of the original Yor - the Hunter From the Future comics, so there is plenty to discuss!
If you want to follow Steven Ross and find out more about these projects you can find him on Twitter and Instagram.

Bored of winning the golf championships all the time? Is life with your beautiful fiancé just not quite giving you the thrills you need? In that case, why not put on a black mask, stick a big X on your belt and then head out to fight international criminals? That's just what Mister X did, and he's never been happier, whether he's chucking henchmen out of windows or blowing up phone boxes.
Yes, we're back with another episode in our Fumetti season, and this is one of the lesser-known films based on a relatively unsuccessful comic. As usual with this season, there's no decent home video release to speak of, but you can find a poor quality copy on YouTube. It's good fun though, and gives Rod and Adrian plenty to discuss.

Dashing home after having stolen a country's entire gold reserve and blown up its tax offices, Rod and Adrian grab their microphones to talk about one of the greatest films to be covered on Wild, Wild Podcast - Danger: Diabolik. In this episode the latest Severin Films announcements are discussed, and Adrian potentially alienates everyone by saying something blasphemous about Morricone's score.

In this short bonus episode Adrian brings you some coverage of the amazing Il Cinema Ritrovato festival in Bologna, Italy. Please excuse the occasionally poor recording owing to wind or Adrian just not backing off the mic enough. It was hot. He was tired.

In this phenomenally good episode, Rod and Adrian get to grips with a film that makes very little sense whichever language you watch it in. Yes, it's that dastardly master of crime/ vigilante hero (delete as appropriate, we couldn't work it out) Fenomenal: Thrill as he kicks drug dealers into the sea! Gasp as he climbs walls very carefully! Worry in case he bumps into the furniture with that mask on!
You can see the whole film for yourself on YouTube.

Take one of Italy's most popular entertainers, stick him in a moth-eaten supervillain costume, then have him come face to face with a buffonish Terry-Thomas and you have Arrriva Dorellik, a star vehicle for singer, actor and all-round charisma machine Johnny Dorelli. But given this is an Italian comedy, will Rod and Adrian be able to agree on whether this is one to enjoy or avoid like the plague? Tune in to find out. In this episode Adrian also gets very easily distracted by Dorelli's Sanremo win of 1959 which leads to him going on about the Eurovision Song Contest at length.
Johnny Dorelli was still singing this film's theme Arriva la bomba well into the 1970s, and can be seen making an appearance on Italian television here.

What's better than one Superman? That's right, it's three Supermen! Plus Rod and Adrian makes five. Strap on your suction cups, grab your mini-capes and join them in them in this super-exciting, very silly adventure film that combines elements of the Peplum and the Eurospy with Batman and The Green Hornet. The Three Fantastic Supermen is nothing if not ambitious.

Argoman or Psychoman? That's the question posed in this episode as we take a look at the pop art-infused crazy world of Sir Reginald Hoover, noted criminologist, playboy and masked criminal. Other questions raised by this film include "Is ten minutes of pleasure worth losing your powers for six hours?" and "Can you really take over the world by being able to make metal bendy?"

In this episode Rod & Adrian grab their bulletproof spandex and head for the wrestling ring for a tag team bout with Superargo! Based on his previous form, it's not likely to end well for our two middle-aged podcasters. Yes, Superargo is here, in a double-bill featuring maniacal mad men, secret underground lairs, killer robots, deadly swamps, femme fatales and extremely valuable cocktail olives!

The Wild, Wild Podcast emerges blinking into the light after the long dark Christmas break to bring you a new season dedicated to the heroes and villains (but mostly villains) of the films adapted from or inspired by the fumetti neri publishing phenomenon of the sixties (which is still going strong today in Italy).
Our first episode sees us going toe to toe with a devious, ruthless, devilishly handsome villain, Kriminal. He's self-serving and will stop at nothing to get what he wants, in the comics at least. The films have him toned down a bit, as we explore in this discussion, which also covers such vital topics as the best way to shave and how to deal with your dad being Mussolini.

For the final time, pack your mosquito spray and come with us into the fake jungles of Rome's film studios in search of a mythical white goddess who has the kind of sex appeal that even the animals can dig. Yes, it's Tarzana, the beautiful heiress whose parents died in the plane crash that left her alone in Kenya to survive and thrive, learning such essential jungle skills as how to swing on vines, how to direct elephants, and how to weave tiny thongs.
In the episode we discuss the lack of available interviews with star Ken Clark. Rod mentions some videos, but on post-episode examination it turns out these are interviews with British politician Ken Clarke. However, the fanzine European Trash Cinema did interview our Ken back in 1995. You can find part of that interview reproduced HERE. If you want to read the whole thing, the issue is currently for sale on eBay.
The only decent online coverage of Tarzana can be found on the blog Spinning Image.

Come with us up river with Edwige Fenech and Roger Browne as we look for diamonds amongst the stock footage and become on speaking terms with Samoa, the only jungle girl in history to not actually live in a jungle. Yes, it's our penultimate episode in this jungle-flavoured mini-season, and this one is a little different from what we've become accustomed to. But it's still great fun! Just don't pin all your affection on Clint. He'll let you down.
In the episode we discussed a great podcast interview with Roger Browne by Derek Koch. You can listen to that HERE.
There's not a lot out there written about the film, but we did locate two blog posts which are quite good, HERE and HERE.

Stop us if you've heard this one before: a plane crashes in the jungle, killing both parents and leaving a solitary three-year-old girl to fend for herself. Communing with the animals, she grows into a beautiful young woman who the local tribes worship and fear as a goddess. Yes, if you asked AI to write you a jungle girl movie, it wouldn't be all that different from the plot of Luana, but we here on the Wild, Wild Podcast love it, and her, anyway.
You can learn more about the star of the film, Mei-Chen, and see plenty of pictures, over on Pulp International. You can also check out the amazing Luana comic strips and Frank Frazetta artwork HERE. And of course, if you want to watch Luana, it's available on YouTube.

Grab your pith helmet, machete and mosquito net and come with us into the deepest, darkest, fakest-looking jungle in search of the lost heiress Gungala. Yes, we're back with a brand new mini-season, taking a look at the brief burst of Jungle Films to come out of Italy in 1968-1969. Gungala la pantera nuda is significant for a number of reasons; the first is of course the presence of Kitty Swan in the lead role, and the second is that it was Ruggero Deodato's first jungle movie. Give him another few years and he would become infamous for what he caught on camera in the jungles of South America. Here however it's Africa, although it's mostly the De Paolis sound stages in Rome. You will struggle to tell the difference.
You can read all about Kitty Swan's terrible accident and miraculous recovery in THIS ARTICLE. Or if you just want to look at lots of photos of Kitty Swan THIS LINK has you covered.
