Ep834: Accademia Giallo: A BLADE IN THE DARK (1983)
"Accademia Giallo" gives 2022 a proper bloody send-off with a round table review of A Blade in the Dark!
Well, almost...
While writing the score to a horror film at a posh Tuscany villa, a composer is stalked by a sadistic killer. Could the music at hand contain an incriminating clue as to the killer's identity? Due to technical difficulties beyond our control, Ian winds up being a guest star on his own show! Watch as AC, Kitley, and Bryan take charge in reviewing Lamberto Bava's bonkers 1983 thriller--which isn't as good as most of the class remembers it!
On a related note, Ian has since resolved his Internet connectivity issues by installing a Wi-Fi signal booster in his studio (*cough*basement*cough*). The following night's Avatar: The Way of Water stream was smoother than a bad Italian dub!
"Accademia Giallo" is Kicking the Seat's monthly deep dive into Italian Horror's "giallo" sub-genre. Join us live in the chat for laughs, lessons, and lots of bad accents!
