Ep977: Accademia Giallo: OPERA (1987)

Spring is in the air, and the "Accademia Giallo" crew feel like singing (or is that screaming?) along with Dario Argento's Opera!

In this gruesome 1987 thriller, A young opera singer is stalked by a deranged fan bent on killing the people associated with her--so he can have her all to himself!

This is actually a re-review of sorts, as Ian and AC discussed the film waaaay back in the audio podcast days of 2017's "Scuola Argento" series. How have things changed in the ensuing 7 years--especially now that Ian has several courses of Giallo training under his belt?

Join us as we take a lyrical look back at one of Argento's grandest and deeply disturbing films--and take your questions, comments, and Super Chats!
