In Antonello Giallo’s follow up to the notorious Pleasures of the Damned, private investigator Jack Steele is hired by a mysterious treasure hunter to help find the lost treasure of Marco Polo. Along for the trip is Jack’s adopted son, Billy. Their search brings them to an island off the coast of Argentina… and into the clutches of a primitive cannibal tribe, the Yamma Yamma. Alexis Kinkaid, a mysterious recluse who has made his home on the island amongst the cannibals, may hold the key to unlocking the island’s secret… if they don’t end up in the belly of a savage first! Isle of the Damned, originally released in Italy in 1980, brought Giallo under fire yet again by the Italian government, who were outraged by the shocking and real scenes of primitive tribal rituals and cannibalism portrayed in the film. The film has been long out of print, but is presented here in a digitally remastered form. Search keywords

In this special that was aired on Comedy Central, Regan “exposes the truth behind physics, discusses the stupidest crimes, and offers his suggestions on how to improve the opera.” He moves around quite a bit and tackles a lot of different subjects. His comedy is rather broad and clean and seems to be intended for a very wide audience. He also uses a lot of expressions and physical humor.” Search keywords
