Episode 18 - Tenebrae

Welcome back, Bombers! Spooktober rolls into giallo town with Dario Argento’s 1982 film - Tenebrae. Tenebrae was a modest success when it was released internationally. However, the theatrical cut for the US was released in a heavily censored version under the title - Unsane. Needless to say, it was panned and quickly forgotten. Listen as Troy, Brad, and John discuss Tenebrae’s themes of duality, sexual deviancy, and violence. Oh, and let’s not forget low-grade Mark Hamill! Troy tries to argue that 3/4s of Goblin doesn’t count as Goblin. John tries to play peacemaker. And Brad tries to find the silver lining. Ultimately, the guys decide if Dario’s Scooby-Doo murder mystery is a bomb. Tenebrae is directed by Dario Argento and stars Anthony Franciosa, John Saxon, and Daria Nicolodi.
