Don't Torture Donald Duck (feat. Jesse Hawken)

It's Horror Month at Fruitless, and we're kicking it off with some Italian horror. Jesse Hawken (@jessehawken, Junk Filter) joins Josiah and Jackal to discuss Don't Torture a Duckling (1972), Lucio Fulci's rural giallo about a string of child murders happening in a small Italian village. We discuss Catholicism, modernity, and Disney in Italy. Content warning: discussion of sexual violence and pedophilia.Follow today's guest on Twitter @jessehawken and Bluesky @jessehawken.bsky.socialCheck out Junk Filter: https://patreon.com/junkfilterBecome a Fruitless Patron here: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=11922141Check out Fruitless on YouTubeFind more of Josiah’s work: https://linktr.ee/josiahwsuttonFollow Josiah on Twitter @josiahwsuttonMusic & audio creditsToccata and Fugue in D Minor - Johann Sebastian BachQuei giorni insieme a te - Riz OrtolaniYesterday – bloom.Quei giorni insieme a te - Ornella Vanoni ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
