A cinematic sect for the outsiders and a burial ground where we lay lazy takes to rest.The pride of Dolcedo, Miss Liguria, one of the original screen queens, the inimitable Maria Angela Giordano. She has gone by Mariangela Giordano, Mary Jordan, and even Mary Gordan. No matter her name in the titles, she is immediately recognizable to horror fans and buried deep in the psyche of anyone who has dabbled in Italian exploitation. She has been asked to endure some awul on-screen torture, and no matter what she shows up and gives it everything. We love her, and she might just be the patron saint of the Brain Melt project. The Movies we have covered on Brain Melt along with the arthouse pairings: https://letterboxd.com/personalhistory/list/the-movies-of-brain-melt/Free Patreon for those inclined: https://www.patreon.com/c/BrainMeltPodcastBill's Socials: LB: https://letterboxd.com/corpsewizard/IG: https://www.instagram.com/corpsewizard/Chris' Socials: LB: https://letterboxd.com/personalhistory/IG: https://www.instagram.com/personalhistoryoffilm/Bill and Chris also both write for a nearly weekly Substack covering Shaw Brothers releases: https://shawproject72.substack.com/A Someone's Favorite Production Podcast

The Brain Melt master list:https://boxd.it/df2NsWelcome! This podcast was birthed from a Letterboxd list that Bill created to map his journey through the wild and unpredictable world of outsider cinema. Movies that take big creative swings, on any budget, and often represent the true voice of an auteur who fought to keep their vision in place. In episode one we watch Doris Wishman's Night to Dismember and J.P. Simon's Pieces. Two true auteurs to kick off Brain Melt, both highly influential in their own way. We match each Brain Melt selection with a canonical arthouse favorite as well, and would love to hear if you agree or disagree with our choice.
