The special Season 3 Finale Series at The Rad Revival House begins with our review of the original hard-hitting no-holds-barred 1978 Macaroni Combat classic, THE INGLORIOUS BASTARDS! We at the RRH opens with open arms the Special Guest Lecturer of the week, one of the stars of THE INGLORIOUS BASTARDS, vintage tough guy actor Mr. Bo Svenson!
Our host, Professor Cesare Augusto, sits down with Bo to discuss his experiences making this cult war thriller, directed by versatile Italian genre master, Enzo G. Castellari, and co-starring Bo’s fellow 70s action icon, Fred “The Hammer” Williamson.
The film’s titular characters are a gang of misfit soldiers, military convicts in World War II on their way to be tried for various war crimes, when they find themselves under attack by invading Nazis. Taking advantage of the chaos, the Bastards trek through war-torn Europe to defect to neutral Switzerland. Led by headstrong Lt. Robert Yeager (Bo), the Bastards encounter one bloody misadventure after another, until they are forced to participate in a top-secret Allied mission to recover a deadly rocket from the Nazis.
During our show, Bo reminisces fondly about his time working with Castellari and his old colleague, The Hammer, as well as providing our class of would-be filmmaker listeners with strong artistic advice. He recommends all filmmakers to not purely emulate from past cinema, but to look within themselves for creativity. Bo strongly urges to not over-analyze material, to not waste time with artifice, and to grab artistic individuality by the horns!
We at the RRH thank our great Special Guest Lecturer, Mr. Bo Svenson, for appearing on our podcast and granting us his shrewd but effective pearls of wisdom!
