Ep. 157: Playgirl Killer featuring Doug Tilley

We continue with #VIDtober 2, where we explore the Canadian movies released by New World Video with an important Canadian film: 1967's PLAYGIRL KILLER! The first Canadian horror movie made in color shares a good amount of DNA with Herschel Gordon Lewis' BLOOD FEAST and TWO THOUSAND MANIACS! and also doesn't share some DNA too! Most prominently is actor Bill Kerwin, who starred in both of those films from Lewis but opted out of the third entry in Lewis' "Blood Trilogy" so he could head to Canada and shoot this, a film about a artist who just wants his models to hold their pose without fail for hours on end.

Diving into a stranger's pool with us is Doug Tilley, host of a variety of podcasts on Cinema Smorgasbord including You Don't Know Dick, Eric Roberts is the Man, Bartel me Something Good, and so many more! Being a Canadian himself, Doug helps us fill in some gaps we lack in Canadian culture.

This also has plenty of music! Crooner Neil Sedaka appears in the film, until he doesn't, and even sings a little bit! We discuss whether Sedaka was too famous for this movie, as well as other topics, such as the stylistics choice of socks with sandals, how we might "pull a Bob" on our won podcasts, and the importance of having an industrial-size freezer in your house.
