104 - The Illustrated Man / Dirty Hands / Demonoid
Join Roger Avary and Quentin Tarantino as they fall deep into the stories of The Illustrated Man! Two tramps meet on the side of the road; one of their bodies is almost completely covered in tattoos—er, skin illustrations. Quentin & Roger discuss the differences between the book and the movie, an unexpected canine star, and how a Rod Steiger performance can elevate a film.
Next up, Claude Chabrol’s Dirty Hands, featuring another amazing Rod Steiger performance, Roger & Quentin refuse to ruin the ending of this one, and with its Hitchcockian connections and unexpected performances, you’ll be happy you didn’t get spoiled. Finishing this episode is Alfredo Zacarias’s Demonoid: Messenger Of Death, in which a woman and her husband unearth an ancient curse, a demon that takes control of your left hand. Featuring lots of gags and amazing effects, this film will keep you entertained from its explosive start to its fulfilling end.

Great episode, great selection of films. Dirty hands was a surprising great film, my favorite of the batch.
Read it, Tarantino. Wholesome but you would destroy amazingly Dandelion Wine. You'd kill it. You have it in you for great long drama.
I loved the astronaut story, I always saw parallels to 2001, and Gravity but I was emersed in that particular story
Lost to death can communicate but ready for death
Gala, I'm thinking your Dad might dig this picture....not sure which copy he had but this was the all pervasive one from when I was 10 yrs old (1978).....or this is the cover art. Last year I was hankering to have a print of this on my wall but alas, could not find one. I actually stumbled over the original artwork which was going for like $45K but no prints. I cut and pasted a nice digital copy and had Mixtiles make me a cool wall hanger.
posted the book artwork from the 70s in the Cinema Club
Its like Gala has her own theme music since she chimes in after the break jingle, lmao.
