Friday Film Showcased, Episode 5: Giallo – Don’t Torture a Duckling (1972)

For many years, with regard to their film-watching, Ciara and Conor have been theming their months. On Friday Film Showcased (FFS to friends, and sometimes enemies), they look back on themes gone by.

In the quintus episode of FFS, Ciara and Conor continue their discussion of the giallo genre with a deep dive on Lucio Fulci’s 1972 masterpiece, Don’t Torture a Duckling. Spoilers abound! You can find our previous instalment, where we discussed giallo more broadly, here. (Including an edition in which all screams have been replaced by bunny noises. How relaxing!)

And make sure to tune in to the end of the episode for Conor’s original song inspired by the film!

A Night to Dismember: Love at Worst Sight Episode 4

Ciara and Dean co-host The Sundae Presents, a podcast in which they each make the other watch films they haven’t seen. Specifically, films considered among the worst of all time, for a new miniseries called Love at Worst Sight. For the final episode, Ciara showed Dean the (theatrical release of the) sole horror film by one-of-a-kind sexsploitation director Doris Wishman: A Night to Dismember. They talk about how she cobbled it together after the original cut was lost (and found), the purity (and perversity) of its auteurist vision and Wishman’s place within (and outside) the history of cinema.
