Danger: Diabolik (1968) Groovy Secret Lairs, PVC Fetish Gear & The Beastie Boys

Time to go deep deep down the Italian genre cinema rabbit hole, as the guys dig into Bill's birthday pick - a Mario Bava comic book adaptation and cult classic, which inspired everyone from Roman Coppola to the Beastie Boys. Diabolik is the world's greatest super-spy, and one of Italy's most famous comic book heroes. The guys talk Ennio Morricone, PVC vs. Leather bondage wear, Italian vs. English overdubs, and debate just how much Diabolik and Eva pay in property taxes on their secret lair. If you love Austin Powers, James Bond, Matt Helm, and comic book movies, you won't want to miss this wacky birthday episode.
