Thank you so much for suggesting this one, whoever it was. This was a shot of pure, beautiful, comic book bullshit at the end of what has been a very long season of solidarity. A mob boss is blackmailed by a police detective into helping him hunt down an elusive thief and his beautiful stacked 10/10 trans baddie gf

Hey, Devon here. For the past few months I've been talking to a family trapped in Gaza, working to hit their gofundme for passage out of Rafah whenever the crossing reopens. Their names are Ahmed and Layla, and their 4 kids Jana, Malik, Lana and Amir. While the crossing might be closed, the situation is changing by the day and being able to afford passage out when a crossing reopens is an immense comfort.

He's such a great actor, it's pity they didn't let him act in that one

The only reason I know about the 2021 one is because Luca Marinelli is in it

Holy shit! You made me realize the music video to the remix uses footage of this movie.

Choosing to believe that the depiction of Danger Diabolik Grant Morrison based Fantomex on was this one due to them astral projecting to the future.
Edit: Alright apparently y’all have not heard of Fantomex, AKA Danger Diabolic if he was literally grown in a Test Tube in a lab and pretended to be French.

it is wild to be knowing who is being referred to in one of the vagueposts on the ep, beautiful horrors

This may be late to the party, considering the season is coming to a close, but: y’all should do North by Northwest! It’s a genuinely fun (and funny) spy movie of a thoroughly American persuasion, featuring noted American blonde Eva Marie Saint.

it's interesting that Abbie compares Terry-Thomas' vibe to king john in robin hood b/c he was in that film but as the snake (tooth lisp replaced by tongue lisp), king john was played by Peter Ustinov!

Abi, I know your co-hosts did not react but for the record I do think they should cast you in a remake of Barberella

So glad you got to see this one, it's a favorite of mine. If you want more Diabolik movies they recently made two: 2021's Diabolik and 2022'd Diabolik: Ginko Attacks! They're not as good imo, but Eva Kant is played by 10/10 smokeshow Miriam Leone.

Fashionable and ostentatious in a way that pushes the limits. Like really bold, and really pulling it off. Sort of drag language. "Serving cunt" is when a drag queen is flawlessly pulling off whatever she's trying to.

If you loved this, I would suggest you do 1968's Black Lizard, a master criminal film directed by Kinji Fukasaku that is just as stylized and nuts. Mishima has a cameo in it!

American here, when Abi describes the face mask as "cunty" what is she saying. Us Yanks would that as an adverb to describe behavior. Your help is much appreciated.

Couple of things.
1. I love when Abi gets really excited and her inner Geordie makes an appearance.
2. I too need sneaking outfits.

Three notes; one he threw a bunch of bags onto the boat before he laughed and jumped over, I think that was the money. Second the fucking on the money scene had a remix of DEEP DEEP DOWN on it that sounded like the stuff Morricone did for The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly and I could not stop laughing. Third for those interested this is free streaming on Pluto for those who are, like me, too lazy to pirate it

Abi’s emphasis on the remake implies a particular interest in appearing in Barbarella 2

November, you can't keep mentioning Day of the Jackal when I know the whole next season isn't assassination themed and therefore won't be covered. I'm rabid.

Oh shit, this is a Bava??
I warched Black Sunday recently and that movie whips ass
Also, once again: The Quick and the Dead (1995)

So glad you guys liked it. It's one of my favourite movies, it's so cool. Really like Bava as a director. Shame this is his only studio production. He got it made on time and under budget but it didn't make much money so ho hum. Also, the score was by Ennio Morricone, fun fact.

I mean, if there's a chance we could get Secret Agent Super Dragon as well, that'd be amazing.

I wish there was like Spotify for movies, so I could watch all of eurospy season. This movie sounds amazing, and the few of these films I've seen are so cool

I’m doing the bad thing where I comment before listening to the episode but there’s a blink and you miss it reference to this movie in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood

MST3K did 'Danger: Diabolik' as the riffed movie in the very final episode of the show's original run (S10E13). It's on YouTube! Don't miss it!

The Italian contributions to the Eurospy genre are a class unto themselves. I also would highly recommend “Danger!! Death Ray” for having a spy who could have been Val Kilmer’s father, and also for its crazy soundtrack (though nowhere near as crazy-go-nuts as the Diabolik soundtrack).

Let this be a lesson that sometimes the hogs are right. The WTYP discord's KJB thread has been pounding the table, demanding this because it is genuinely good and genuinely silly. These qualities made for a very successful MST3k episode as well.
