Summary

In this week's episode, we're just completely rolling around in the weirdness of Dario Argento's 1985 insect-and-baby-Jennifer-Connelly-filled film "Phenomena" and frankly, WOW. Special topics for your consideration include: a rousing game of Argento bingo, a little bit of bug math, runner up patron saint of the podcast Donald Pleasence, the worst possible intro to a Penthouse letter and a box of smallish Swiss flags.

Oh, Dario. You can hear a lot of talk about him in Episode 23- "Suspiria," Episode 84- "Demons," Episode 185- "Deep Red," Episode 306- "Tenebrae," and Episode 325- The Bird with the Crystal Plumage."
