OG co-host Daniel Harper returns to ring in the new year by talking with Lee about two films directed by the late Albert Pyun, "The Sword and the Sorcerer" (1982) & "Cyborg" (1989). Topics brought up: Richard Moll and the guy who played Frank Fontana from "Murphy Brown" popping up in a sword and sorcery film; knives within knives, within knives; gun swords; harems of naked ladies; heroes on crosse...

Lee and Leah take a special Christmas trip to the horrors of the uncanny valley as they talk about first fully all-digital capture film, the animated feature "The Polar Express" (2004), directed by Robert Zemeckis, and starring Tom Hanks...a lot of Tom Hanks. Far too much. somebody help us. "The Polar Express" IMDB   Featured Music: "The Train to Satanville" by Gin Gillette.

Lee and Leah are back this episode to tackle the film "Apt Pupil" (1998), which was adapted from the novella by Stephen King, and directed by noted Hollywood creep Bryan Singer. Leah having only seen it this one time, and Lee having seen it for a third time, opens up some conversation on their perceptions of the material given their respective experience with it. Lee has some very different though...

Lee, Leah, and their friend Gary Hill of the Cinema Beef podcast, dial in their sights on the Antoine Fuqua-directed, Mark Wahlberg-starring, "Shooter" (2007). Does this movie have what it takes to carry the weight of a main character with the name Bob Lee Swagger? Is Mark Wahlberg any good in this? All this and more, including what the hosts have watched recently. Set your sights on the download...

Lee is back to end off 2022 with a playlist comprised of a mix of recent private watches, and films he screened for watch parties he's held in the last couple of months. --The Call from "Blacula" (1972) --Gene Page --There He is Again from "Blacula" (1972) --The Hues Corporation --Opening Theme from "Messiah of Evil" (1973) --Phillan Bishop --Hold on to Love from "Messiah of Evil" (1973) --Raun Ma...

Lee and Leah tackle the 1993 horror comedy "Ed and His Dead Mother", directed by Jonathan Wacks, and starring Steve Buscemi, Miriam Margolyes, and the then Sam Jenkins, who later married former star and now noted crybaby and conservative Twitter troll Kevin Sorbo. Did this film push hard enough in one direction, or it it just all over the place? Why is John Glover running away with the whole film?...

Lee and Leah watch the devil try to fuck, and Arnold Schwarzenegger do his best to cock-block him, in the head-scratching end of the century action-horror nightmare, "End of Days", directed by Peter Hyams. Can talented stars like Gabriel Byrne and Kevin Pollak save this film, or is it a testament to the worst the 1990s had to offer the world of cinema? The hosts also talk about what they've watche...

Lee and Leah lose their heads for their Halloween episode, covering Ari Aster's harrowing horror film Hereditary (2018). Family trauma; Toni Collette's fantastic performance; decapitated children; naked, smiling men in the closet; John Cena (?), and the value of re-watches are just a few of the things talked about in this episode. The hosts also talk about what they've watched recently. "Hereditar...

The air is cold and the moon is right, so that means Lee Van Teeth can make his return for this Halloween night! Sit back and enjoy two hours of creepy hits, ghoulish film trailers, and chilling commercials with the last real Wolfman of rock radio. "I'm the Wolfman" -- Round Robin "Werewolf" -- Carl Bondafede "Strolling After Midnight" -- The Shades "Graveyard" -- Phantom 5 "Graveyard Ghost" -- Ch...

Lee, Leah and Paul plan some virtual murders as they cover the over-looked 1990s horror gem "Brainscan" (1994), directed by John Flynn. Depressed Edward Furlong; the new iconic horror villain who never was in Trickster; and the most early 1990s soundtrack to ever exist are just a few of the things talked about in this sloppy crime scene cover-up of an episode. "Brainscan" IMDB   Featured Music: "B...

Lee and Leah drunkenly talk about a film they watched on their vacation in October of 2021: the Robert Florey-directed "The Beast with Five Fingers" (1946). This was originally recorded for Gary Hill of Cinema Beef's 31 Days of Howling Beasts series that he didn't get to finish. This might still show up on his feed at some point, but we thought we'd put it to use just in case. "The Beast with Five...

Lee, Leah and Paul are joined by Gary Hill for a huge episode, to chat about the two 1990s "Tales from the Crypt" films: the Ernest R. Dickerson-directed "Demon Knight" (1995) and the Gilbert Adler-directed "Bordello of Blood" (1996). Of the many things talked about, we discuss Billy Zane being bad-ass; Dennis Miller being a shithead; demon dick fire bukkake; how true these films, and the series t...

Lee and Leah are back for some more bonus content, this time talking about the Roberta Findlay-directed "The Oracle" (1985). Bad acting, mustaches, fake Ouija boards, ambiguous killers, and a ghost that's killing all the wrong people are just a few things that come up when they can stomach actually talking about the film. "The Oracle" IMDB   Featured Music: "Electric Landlady" by Purson.

Lee and Paul found themselves having to change the planned episode last minute. So they decided to do a very casual and off-the-cuff show where they attempt to pick one title for every letter of the alphabet, from each of their respective horror film collections, that they personally recommend. Can they manage to get every letter? How many times do they pick the same title for the same letter? Hon...

Lee and Leah start off Halloween season in style, by going super hard and covering the Meir Zarchi-directed "I Spit on Your Grave" (1978) and its 2010 remake, directed by Steven R. Monroe, with friend and fellow podcaster Cort Psyops. The hosts do their best to do a thoughtful deep dive into the more serious aspects of these two rape/revenge films, being respectful of the subject matter, while sti...

This month Lee decided to finally do a deeper dive on the sensational electronic musical act Tangerine Dream, creating a playlist from the film scores/soundtracks they worked on in what he considers their classic period, 1977-1989. --The Call & Betrayal from "Sorcerer" (1977) --Igneous & Beach Theme from "Thief" (1981) --Horror in the Bathroom from "Strange Behavior" (1981) --Cue #4 from "The Sold...

Lee and Leah are back this time to tackle the film that really shot Bette Davis into superstardom, the William Wyler-directed "Jezebel" (1938). While the film is fairly dated and thus not all that great on things like feminism, slavery, and the like in a modern lens, it does feature a break-out performance by Davis, and it's notorious for all the real-life fucking that went on behind the scenes. A...

Lee is joined this time out by OG co-host Daniel, returning to talk about the John McTiernan-directed and Arnold Schwarzenegger-starring "Predator" (1987). Can they find anything original to say about the stone cold action/horror/sci-fi classic, or will they spend the entire episode just gushing over how damn good it is? The hosts also cover what they've watched as of late. You may not have time t...

Lee, Leah, and returning guest host Vaughn, cover a little-talked about Bud Spencer film he did with the kid from "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", Cary Guffey. The film in question is "The Sheriff and the Satellite Kid" (1979), directed by Michele Lupo. The conversation mostly revolves around how Spencer fares separated from his usual co-star Terrence Hill, and if putting him into a family fi...

Lee got busy this month and comes back with a bit of an easier show to do. This month he's back with another playlist compiled from a handful of recent horror watches that he's enjoyed. --Main Title; The Living Dead & The Relic Ship/Aboard the Relic Ship from "Planet of the Vampires" (1965) --Gino Marinuzzi, Jr. --Track 2 from "The Freakmaker" (1974) --Basil Kirchin --Goodbye Eddie, Goodbye & Some...

Lee and Leah are back to cover the Paul Bartel written and directed "Eating Raoul" (1982). Many asides come up this week when the hosts are not gushing over the amazing chemistry of Paul Bartel and Mary Woronov. Some things brought up include the depictions of rape in the film; comparing this film's style to John Waters' style, and how Waters' would have done this differently even though the subje...

Lee and Leah are joined by friend and fellow podcaster Gary Hill, and their other friend Kerry to talk about the movie that is the source from which all other movies spring: Jim Wynorski's classic b-movie "Chopping Mall" (1986). How much chopping actually happens? What's a better title for it? Does anything in this film make any bloody sense, and does that actually matter? Other talk revolves arou...

Lee and Leah are joined this week by two special guests, friends and fellow podcasters Gary Hill & Vaughn Kuhlmeier, to talk about the sprawling animated drama by Ralph Bakshi, "American Pop" (1981). The discussion circles around the rotoscoped animation, the music, and the nuanced themes coming out of the over-arching tragedy, including the addiction and mental health issues the protagonists face...

Since film first began to have music accompanying it, be it played live in a theatre during the screening of a silent film, or just being part of the soundtrack of the film itself, as we are all familiar with today, scores have been written, recorded, and then thrown away, usually by directors and producers, for various reasons. This week Lee has decided to set foot on the tip of the iceberg that...

Lee is flying solo this week on TMBDOS! with an Intermission episode. Lee has watched a bunch of stuff in the last little while, so he's got seven mini-reviews to share with the listeners. Also, a "fan" of TMBDOS! sent in a voicemail, so Lee plays and responds to it live on the show. Movies reviewed: "Planet of the Vampires" (1965), directed by Mario Bava "The Mutations" (1974), directed by Jack C...
