In our tenth episode of Fighting Femmes, Fiends, and Fanatics, series producer Steve Mayhem takes on the Antonio Margheriti joint 077: Killers are Challenged, and, in the process, gives us a handy dandy primer on the Eurospy genre. And, by the way, is it really sporting for a super spy to go up against killers who are "challenged"?

Y'know, that's a fair point. The killers are defeated mainly by their own clumsy stupidity, as the hero spends most of his time trying to seduce women that would prefer to kill him.
(Then again, I've probably spent to much time deconstructing the plot of this thing).
Great post! Nice work putting this series together.
