Lee is joined again this week by friends Greg and Nick to finish up their look at the main entries in the "Friday the 13th" series, covering parts 6 to 10. This one's another very casual conversation, with many asides, as the hosts talk about these films like the cinematic junk food they are. At the end they give their personal ranking from worst to best in the series. "Friday the 13th Part VI: Ja...

Lee is joined by returning guests and good friends Greg and Nick to cover the first 5 films in the "Friday the 13th" franchise. General things they liked and didn't like, best kills, and the overall direction of the series up to that point are talked about. And, because they are all red-blooded Canadian men, they drool a bit over the lovely ladies of the series. It ends up making for a fun and bre...

Lee and Paul are back to have a quick chat about the Ivan Nagy-directed "Skinner" (1993), which is an overlooked horror film starring Ted Raimi, Ricki Lake, and Traci Lords! "Skinner" IMDB   Check out Paul at PA Outdoors Couple & Remaley's Ales & Lagers . Featured Music: "Skin Deep" by The Stranglers & "Skin and Bone" by The Kinks.

Lee and Daniel are joined by returning guests Vaughn and Wick, to put on a big seedy, theatrical show for you all, as they cover John Cassavetes' "The Killing of a Chinese Bookie" (1976), starring Ben Gazzara. A few of the things covered in this episode: Cassavetes working as an actor to be a filmmaker in indie cinema; the stellar cast;the two different versions and which one the hosts think is th...

Lee is excited to welcome first time guest host Richard Glenn Schmidt, of Hello! This is the Doomed Show, joining him to cover Ferdinando Baldi's early Eurocrime "The Godfather"/"Bullitt"/"The French Connection" cash-in "The Sicilian Connection" (1972), starring Ben Gazzara. Does this set a benchmark for Eurocrime going forward in the decade or did the genre leave this behind? Is this just a Mondo...

Lee and Daniel are joined by their friend Jack to pick up a thread first started almost 10 years ago, way back in episode 79, where they talked about the 1922 and 1979 Nosferatu films, by covering Robert Eggers "Nosferatu" (2024). Tune in to see if they feel it lives up to the previous two versions. It's certainly the horniest out of all of them. Drac dong; Lily-Rose Depp constantly coming, the on...

Lee finishes off his look at the soundtracks and scores of North American-made slasher films from the 1990s, covering some of the stuff that rode the popularity of "Scream", the expected sequels, and other odds and ends. --A Young Man on the Edge & Final Confrontation from "I Know What You Did Last Summer" (1997) --John Debney --My Baby's Got the Strangest Ways from "I Know What You Did Last S...

Lee, Daniel, and the returning Lady Leah cover a classic of the silent era, once thought lost, Carl Theodor Dreyer's "The Passion of Joan of Arc" (1928), featuring one of, if not the greatest, performance ever captured on film, from Maria Falconetti, starring as the titular Joan of Arc. The history of the film and its various versions are briefly touched upon, and the hosts dig into the various le...

Lee and Daniel are joined by friend and previous guest host Matt Anderson to tackle two films from the 1950s with some surprising similarities. First up they try not to catch the plague as they talk about Elia Kazan's "Panic in the Streets" (1950), starring Richard Widmark and a debuting Jack Palance. Then they try to keep the Earth from being blown apart in Fred F. Sears' "The Night the World Exp...

Lee is back with the second of his three-part look at slasher films from North America produced in the 1990s. As the genre went on to the middle of the decade it still seemed directionless, throwing whatever at the wall and seeing what sticks, and often just trying to do what worked in the 1980s... until a little film called "Scream" appeared on the scene. --Dylan Tells Heather About Chase & A...

In this episode Lee and Daniel tackle two films that have nothing to do with each other, but Daniel wanted to talk about them. First off it's a fairly breezy conversation about the Finnish "kill all the Nazis" WW2 action film "Sisu" (2022), directed by Jalmari Helander. Then they cover the film Apple decided to buy and then abuse like its red-headed stepchild, "Wolfs" (2024), directed by Jon Watts...

Lee and Daniel are back in this episode to talk about not only 2005's low budget, gore-heavy horror comedy "Feast", directed by John Gulager. No, they also cover the Ben Affleck & Matt Damon-produced reality tv series "Project Greenlight", specifically season 3, which was all about the making of the film. The conversation revolves around how the film plays knowing what you get to know from wha...

There's no regular episode this week yet Lee was determined to drone on into his mic, but he's not alone! Friend and fellow podcaster Gary Hill returns to take turns with Lee talking about recent watches, including the new animated film in the Predator franchise, "Predator: Killer of Killers". Check out Lee and Daniel's recent appearance on Everything I Learned from Movies .  Catch Gary's podcasts...

Lee is joined by friends and returning guest hosts Robby and Wick to cover John Flynn's "The Outfit" (1973), starring Robert Duvall, Karen Black, and the recently departed Joe Don Baker. Being one of several adaptations of a book in the popular "Parker" series of crime novels, the hosts ponder the virtues of Donald Westlake's more matter-of-fact blue collar criminal world, and the hard-nosed profe...

The 1990s were a weird and often really interesting time for the slasher film genre. Join Lee as he navigates the often even weirder soundtracks and scores of those films in the first of a 3-part series. --He's Invisible from "The Invisible Maniac" (1990) --Dan Povenmire --Maniac Cop Rap from "Maniac Cop 2" (1990) --Jay Chattaway, Wayne Lammers and Peter Levin --I'll be Right There from "Prom Nigh...

Lee's riding solo this week, so you the listener gets an Intermission episode.

Check out Lee's latest appearance on Last Call at Torchy's .  Featured Music: "Pick Poor Robin Clean" by Jack O'Connell, Lo...

This Week Lee and Daniel are yet again joined by friend Jack Graham to cap off the extended look into both Gene Hackman and 1990s thrillers with Peter Hyams' remake of "The Narrow Margin" (1952), "Narrow Margin" (1990). Does this train ride take too long or does it have one hell of a sexy caboose? The host's also talk about what they've watched as of late. Buy the ticket, take the long, slow ride...

Lee, Daniel & Jack hunker down in a van full of sweaty tech bros and spy on everyone in this week's episode covering "Enemy of the State" (1998), directed by Tony Scott, and starring Will Smith and Gene Hackman. Is this a sequel to "The Conversation", as movie discourse seems to demand it be these days, or it it just a massive piece of shit? This is talked about, and more, including what the h...

Lee decided to get back on the vanity project kick this month, covering yet more soundtracks and scores from those films made by someone with a singular and sometimes misguided cinematic vision. --Ain't Gwine To Whistle Dixie (Any Mo') from "Clay Pigeon" (1971) --Taj Mahal --Just You, Just Me from "The Groove Tube" (1974) --Ken Shapiro --Tuesday Afternoon from "The Astrologer" (1976) --The Moody B...

Lee and Daniel are joined in this episode by their friend Jack Graham, who co-hosts the I Don't Speak German podcast with Daniel, to talk about "Rising Sun" (1993), directed by Philip Kaufman, and based on the novel by Michael Crichton. The film follows Sean Connery and Wesley Snipes as they navigate Japanese culture, while trying to solve a murder, in ways that sometimes make Mickey Rooney's yell...

Lee and Daniel decided to go deep (well, as deep as a Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer production can get), both literally and figuratively, as they tackle the epic shouty men on a submarine film, "Crimson Tide" (1995), directed by Tony Scott, and starring Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman as said shouty men. Has the threat of nuclear war ever been more dumb and full of cum? Was Tarantino punchi...

Lee, Daniel and Leah form up a posse this time out to cover George P. Cosmatos' epic 1990s western "Tombstone" (1993), starring, well, pretty much everyone who was a name or would be a name in the next few years. Val Kilmer's recent death was the excuse to cover the film, but aside from talking about his career-defining performance, the hosts also talk about just how great everyone else is, and if...

Lee, Daniel, and their friend and fellow podcaster James Murphy talk about Ken Russell's "The Lair of the White Worm" (1988), based on a novel by some guy called Bram Stoker. Did Russell manage something better than the source material here? Just where does this film seem to fit into the history of British horror, and just how horny is this film anyway? The hosts also talk about what they've watch...
