The Trash-Mex Podcast

It is January Giallo and apparently a lot of people like to claim the renowned Ignacio Lopez Tarso film El Profeta Mimi (1973) is a Mexican “Giallo” film, but is it really? Hosts Joey & Armando and special guest James Branscome of Cinematic Void discuss what really is a Giallo film and what can be considered a Giallo film.

The final chapter in our slasher-themed episode and we have sliced up 2 actual Mexican slasher films:
La Venganza Del Silla De Ruedas: La Proxima Victima (1993)
Fernando Almada is bound to a wheelchair after a car accident that was caused by his psychotic/angry wife who can’t get over her daughter’s death & dresses her son as a girl. When the son gets older, he shows signs of deep anger just like his mother & holds on to women’s dresses. Could he be the killer? Or could it be someone else close by?
Orgia Sangrienta (1991)
A psycho in a blonde wig, white nightgown and an axe proceeds to kill off a group of young friends one by one in a big house.
And Elias Leonardo of the Cinéfilos en apuros podcast joins us for the last stab with his thoughts on Orgia Sangrienta (1991). (In Spanish)
