Spine #89 - All the Colors of the Dark
Ciao Secret Handshake listeners! Marten's Italian genre cinema education continues with a crash course in gialli, courtesy of the undersung maestro of the genre, Sergio Martino. It's an episode filled with nothing but black gloves, razor blades, and beautiful ladies. Grab your bottle of J&B, it's gonna get very sleazy up in here.

Spine #88 - Excalibur
"Look into the eyes of the Dragon...and DESPAIR!" An episode long in the making, the boys dive into the wild filmography of John Boorman, as they watch the new documentary BOORMAN & THE DEVIL, travel to Chicago for Beyond Fest and see THE HERETIC on the big screen (via a beautiful 35mm print!), and finally devour his psychedelic King Arthur retelling on Arrow's terrific new 4K Blu. Fill up your pipe for this one, folks. We're getting super stoned.

Bonus Episode - The Strangers Rebootquel Trilogy
Nobody knows anything about The Strangers, and that's what makes them scary. Nor does anyone know why you would reboot The Strangers into a min-requel trilogy of films that have been, to put it mildly, disliked by all (which makes the proposition of watching them terrifying). Still, despite the bad reviews, the boys dive into both this new iteration of the slasher franchise, as well as the wild career of its director, genre bad boy Renny Harlin.
