About this episode

Episode 40 features an in-depth interview with Dino Proserpio discussing subtitling and the importance of language in physical media.

Finding the joy in unfettered creativity. A podcast dedicated to bringing awareness and context to movies of any budget, from anywhere, and during any time. Episode 40 is one of the most in-depth and interesting conversations Punk Vacation has had on the language of physical media. That is not meant metaphorically, literally the subtitling and the importance of language and copywriting. Dino Proserpio does most of the subtitling work for VS and a lot of the copywriting. He's a polyglot and film historian, and was a fantastic interview. Eli and Chris both spend 3 hours geeking out with Dino, and he will be coming back as a guest when he is ready for it. He casually covers topics like how Rad is responsible for the creation of sublabels at VS, the amount of work that goes into restoration and how there is a science behind subtitling. I learned a lot from hearing him speak and I hope you all do too. We will be back mid April to discuss the March titles in depth. If you want to watch along we will cover Office Killer, Massacre, Forgotten Gialli Vol 9, Badge 373, Cuddly Toys, Unmasked Part 25, Intensive Care, and Reviver 2. Thank you to everyone who listens and please let us know how…
