Fulci - The Yellow Films



For episode 8 of Hello! This is the Doomed Show, Brad and I start the first of our four episodes on Lucio Fulci. In this spoiler-free episode, we talk exclusively about his contributions to the giallo genre. There are some pretty bizarre outtakes on this one. Listen closely or at a distance. Films covered in this episode: One on Top of the Other AKA Perversion Story, A Lizard in a Woman's Skin, Don't Torture a Duckling, Seven Notes in Black, New York Ripper, and Murder Rock: Dancing Death.

And just so you know, these episodes will not happen consecutively. Brad and I are going to have non-Fulci episodes in between these to break things up because we're weirdos and stuff. Here's how the Fulci-themed episodes are going to go:

1. Fulci - The Yellow Films (A Lizard in a Woman's Skin, The Psychic, etc.)
2. Fulci - The Golden Age (The Beyond, Zombie, The Black Cat, etc.)
3. Fulci - The Other Side of Lucio Fulci (Contraband, Conquest, Four of the Apocalypse, etc.)
4. Fulci - More Horrors (House of Clocks, Manhattan Baby, Demonia, etc.)



You can download or listen to episode 8 at Podomatic.

Or you can download it from Mediafire.

  2. @Justin - Duder, get your ass over here. We can rock the friggin' Fulci. And I have a huge pile of giallos I haven't seen yet.

  3. I have a huge pile of unwatched giallos, too. Together I bet we'd have enough for a week long giallothon.

  4. @Justin - I have ideas for a weeklong moviethon but have neither the vacation time nor the courage to do it.

  5. I agree with Brad: SEVEN NOTES IN BLACK is my favorite Fulci gialli. Least favorite: Murder Rock. Speaking of which, I can't believe you failed to mention MURDER ROCK's awesome alternate title, "Giallo a Disco"! I still haven't seen NEW YORK RIPPER yet. Keep up the great work, fellas. By the way, I will be reviewing TEEN WITCH just for you, Richard.

  6. Surely Fulci's gialli should be deemed 'The Golden Age', Richard?

    His gore epics are underwhelmingly silly sideshow farces.

    (Runs for cover.) ;)

  8. @Aaron - Thanks! Brad says thanks too, man. I forgot all about Giallo a Disco, damn it. New York Ripper is a must see. It's a grindhouse giallo classic. Very scuzzy. I look forward to your Teen Witch coverage. Feel free to pick something wretched for me to review, duder.

    @Davo - I do love his gialli but for me, his zombie flicks and even Black Cat all took place in the man's finest hour. And I think they are overwhelmingly silly!

    @MLP - We'll do our best, captain. Thanks!

  10. I just finished this episode (I'm in the middle of my exams right now and behind with all of my fun stuff) and enjoyed it a lot! It's cool to have you guys connect the dots for me since I don't know too much about these films. It's great fun!
