Coffin Joe (1964-2008) (ft. Gavin McDowell) - Don't do what Donny Don't does
Religious scholar and recurring guest Gavin joins Dan and Brian to discuss the long-running Brazilian series of horror films directed by, written by, and starring José Mojica Marins as "Coffin Joe" -- the monstrous, atheist, libertine undertaker. Join as they discuss Coffin Joe's persona, the religious and political context of the film, the shifting tone in the series, Marins' three-pronged approach to horror, the role of transgressive ickiness in telling a horror story, and the censorship forces on Marins. They talk through the three "main" Coffin Joe films in detail, while Gavin gives an overview of the semi-canonical outings through the decades.
