Posted on November 13, 2022 by producer

Considering the Cinema presents… The DVD Infatuation Podcast, starring Dave “Dr. Shock” Becker — “The Leonard Maltin of the Internet,” the Amazing but Subtle One, the National Treasure himself, as he welcomes special guest Ian Irza, whom you can follow on Twitter @Irzanomics. Episode 062 is the 21st Edition of The DVD Infatuation Podcast. In this content-rich episode, Dave and Ian explore an especially dark and devious corner of Italian cinema, the mysterious and murderous Giallo genre, which often incorporates varying blends of sub-genres like the Slasher, Crime, Psychological Thriller, Psychological Horror, Sexploitation — and sometimes, touches of Supernatural Horror. So, Dr. Shock and Ian begin with some general thoughts about Italian genre films. Then they provide a Giallo-related preface, which leads into their Top 10 Giallo Films list, followed by the Music in the Movies segment. Join us!

The DVD Infatuation Podcast has another BONUS release coming later this month. Thanks for listening!
