Diving headfirst into the wild world of cult classics, we kick things off with a chat about the 1971 gem, *The Abominable Dr. Phibes*. This flick, featuring the legendary Vincent Price, is a blend of revenge, music, and, let’s be honest, some bizarre artistic choices that leave us both scratching our heads and applauding. Who knew a disfigured organist could pull off such intricate murder methods inspired by biblical plagues? We dissect the film’s over-the-top styling and Vincent’s commitment to the role, showcasing his unique charm and manic energy. It’s not just a horror flick; it’s an artistic statement where every kill is more elaborate than the last, and we can’t help but cheer for Dr. Phibes as he takes out the bumbling medical team that failed his wife. Expect witty banter, fun insights about film festivals, and a whole lot of love for the creative madness that is this film.

Wrapping things up, we bring it back to the festival, sharing our excitement for the upcoming Anomaly Film Festival in Rochester, New York, and how this film fits perfectly within the genre celebration. With our casual banter and playful commentary, we aim to engage our listeners and encourage them to watch this cult classic. So, grab your popcorn, tune in, and let’s get weird with Dr. Phibes!
