Episode 216 – The Mysterious Castle in the Carpathians (1981)

Okay there's a possibly-singing blonde woman and she's in this amazing silver dress with those sort of wing things attached to the wrists and a giant headdress. She's rocking this and I'm afraid to wear the silver leggings my friend gave me? I'm not living my best life, OBVIOUSLY.

We finally welcome our special guest Josh Seybert to talk about a Czech comedy based on a gothic Jules Verne novel about a singing count, his missing girlfriend, and a strange castle in Transylvania.

We discuss language, world cinema, slapstick comedy, and why subtitles aren’t a big deal.

Josh is the host of several podcast projects, including Empathy at the Apocalypse with Andy Mascola, and the upcoming Uncle Morty Show.
