They Must Be Destroyed On Sight!

Lee and Daniel are joined by friend and fellow podcaster Gary Hill to pick up on a thread they want to pull after talking about "Seven Psychopaths" last week: post Tarantino films. This week they check out "Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead" (1995), directed by Gary Fleder. Is it as bad as its reputation would lead you to believe? The host also talk about what they've watched as of late. Com...

Lee and Daniel get a little crazy this week as they talk about Martin McDonagh's "Seven Psychopaths" (2012). A meta commentary on the post-Tatantino crime film, and really just how films are made in general, it features an amazing cast, and the hosts have a lot to dig into this week. Also, in relation to the last episode on "The Spook Who Sat by the Door" (episode 363), the hosts respond to a blog...

Lee is joined this week by friends and fellow podcasters Matt and Vaughn to cover a film unfairly slotted into the Blaxploitation genre, and a film that was alleged to have been pressured out of the theatres by the FBI, and thought lost for years: Ivan Dixon's "The Spook Who Sat by the Door" (1973), based on the controversial 1969 novel of the same name by Sam Greenlee. The three white as snow hos...

It's a quick and dirty February release of Blood on the Tracks for Lee. Here's some good score and soundtrack selections from his recent watches. --Suite from "I Drink Your Blood" (1970) --Clay Pitts --Suite from "Black Magic" (1975) --Yung Yu Chen --Nude per L'Assassino; Strip Nude for Your Killer & Fotomodelle from "Strip Nude for Your Killer" (1975) --Berto Pisano & Elsio Mancuso --Medi...

Lee & Daniel are joined by fellow podcaster Daeron Wilson (of the The Psychosemantic Podcast) to cover the late 1990s coming of age punk rock hangout film "SLC Punk!" (1998), written and directed by James Merendino and starring Matthew Lillard & Michael Goorjian. Punk culture, posers, sell-outs, and crazy Til Schweiger threatening to steal the entire film away, are just a few of the things...

Lee and Daniel are joined by returning guest Matt Anderson to follow up on their episode covering "Panic in the Streets" (episode 341), by talking about Earl McEvoy's "The Killer That Stalked New York" (1950), which was released later in the same year as "Panic..." and largely covers the same subject matter. Is this a cheap rip-off or cash-in, or is this one worth checking out? One of our podcast...

Russ Meyer loved women. Women with big boobs, big curves, and big personalities. His entire career was all about putting his fetishes on screen in nudie cuties, dramas, crime films, mondo movies, sex comedies, and any other sort of exploitation film he could get away with, often all in the same film! This month Lee's built a big playlist of selections from his peak years, which stretched from the...

Lee and Daniel are joined this episode by returning guest Wick to cover a film he wanted to talk about, Sydney Pollack's "Tootsie" (1982), starring Dustin Hoffman. A lot of the conversation revolves around just how well this film plays in 2026, and if it's really fair to be too critical of it given when it was made and what it actually is trying to talk about. It turns out to be one of the more sp...

As a tribute to the recently passed Rob Reiner, Lee and Daniel cover the two Stephen King Adaptations he directed, those being 1986's "Stand by Me" & 1990's "Misery". A lot of the conversation revolves around Reiner's strengths as an actor's director, and re-casting a possible "Misery" remake. The hosts also talk about what they've watched as of late, and they read a listener comment. "Stand b...

Lee and Daniel talk about their favourite film from last year, Paul Thomas Anderson's "One Battle After Another" (2025). They also cover what else they've watched recently. Have a few small beers, join the revolution, and hear what they have to say about this series of moving pictures, you filthy semen demons. "One Battle After Another" IMDB   Lee on Bluesky , Instagram , and Letterboxd .    Liste...

2025 is in the rearview mirror, and Lee is joined by Daniel to talk about the best things they watched for the first time in that year. Unlike some previous years, the hosts have kept the show a bit shorter this time around, only having a top 10 list and some honourable mentions (oh, and Lee has one film to shit on as well!). Daniel's Honourable Mentions: "Sovereign" (2025) "The Long Walk" (2025)...

Lee decided to end off 2025 on a spicy note by covering some of the soundtracks and scores of some notable porno films from the "Golden Age" of the genre, which spanned the late 1960s to the early 1980s. You know, when they were actual films, or were at least trying to be, and were almost all funded by mob money. --Introducing Linda Lovelace from "Deep Throat" (1972) --Gerard Damiano --Blowin' Bub...

Lee and Daniel finish up their Robert Redford retrospective by talking about two of his directorial efforts. First off they talk about the slow-paced but harrowing gut punch that is "Ordinary People" (1980), and then they look at the more high-energy "Quiz Show" (1994). The hosts also briefly mention what they've watched recently. "Ordinary People" IMDB   "Quiz Show" IMDB  Lee on Bluesky , Instagr...

Lee and Daniel continue their look at some Robert Redford this episode, covering Alan J. Pakula's paranoid thriller based on the book about the Watergate investigation, "All the President's Men" (1976), and Barry Levinson's slice of American baseball mythology, "The Natural" (1984). One of these films does the leg work and checks it sources, while the other strikes out badly. The hosts also talk a...

Lee & Daniel are back on some Redford this week (as well as a return to George Roy Hill and William Goldman!) with "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" (1969), also starring Paul Newman and Katharine Ross. Poly triads, Western revisionism, and bad white boy Spanish are all things brought up this time around. The hosts also talk a bit about what they've watched as of late. Why not saddle up wit...

Lee and Daniel are joined by Lee's long-time best friend Peter to talk about a movie they bonded over back in high school in the late 1990s, "The Stöned Age" (1994), directed by James Melkonian. This R-rated stoner buddy comedy feels like the crude love child of "Dazed and Confused" & "Wayne's World". Is it perhaps better than both of those films? Is it at least more fun? The hosts also talk a...

Lee is back after a month break with a short playlist covering some selections from his 31 days of horror watching he did in October. --Black Hair from "Kwaidan" (1964) --Toru Takemitsu --Suite from "Kuroneko Black Cat" (1968) --Hikaru Hayashi --Suite from "Lake of Dracula" (1971) --Richiro Manabe --Stealing the Exam & Art in the Dark from "Final Exam" (1981) --Gary S. Scott --Ghost Story from...

Lee & Daniel return after a short break, and are joined by returning guest hosts Vaughn and Wick to look at a couple of films starring the recently departed Robert Redford. First up it's the well-known paranoid thriller "Three Days of the Condor" (1975), directed by Sydney Pollack, and then they look at the slightly less-talked about "The Great Waldo Pepper" (1975), directed by George Roy Hill...

He's a bit scary, he's a lot hairy, and he's the rock 'n' roll disc jockey that will keep you merry. Lee Van Teeth, the last Wolfman of rock radio is back with his annual 2hr Halloween show, spinning the horror hits that will make your Halloween celebration move and groove. "I'm the Wolf Man" -- Rockin' Ryan and The Real Goners "Evil" -- 45 Grave "Happy Halloween" -- John Zacherley "Bucket o' Bloo...

Lee & Daniel are joined this week by Greg and Nick to cover Chris Smith's documentary, "American Movie" (1999), which looks at indie filmmaker Mark Borchardt's struggles in his personal life and behind the camera as he tried to finish his short horror film "Coven" (1997). The hosts also review "Coven", and talk about what they've watched recently. It's alright, it's okay, Jesus told us so - yo...

Lee is joined by Greg, Nick, and Paul to cap-off the look at the "Friday the 13th" series, by talking about "Freddy vs. Jason" (2003) & "Friday the 13th" (2009). This one gets a bit more opinionated than the previous discussions, but it ends up being a fun (and rowdy) conversation. The hosts also talk about what they've watched recently. "Freddy vs. Jason" IMDB   "Friday the 13th" IMDB   Nick'...

Lee and Paul return to cover another lesser-known slasher this week. This time it's L. Scott Castillo Jr.'s snow-bound supernatural slasher "Satan's Blade" (1984). "Satan's Blade" IMDB   Check out Paul's beer channel and PA Outdoors Couple channel .   Featured Music: "Satan's Blade (Main Theme)" by Martin Jaquish & "Devil's Stompin' Ground" by Southern Culture on the Skids.

Lee and Paul do something a little different this week. Inspired by The Pure Cinema Podcast's annual Horrorthon episode, the hosts program their own 6-film horror marathons, complete with trailers and intermissions if they so desire, and they explain their reasoning behind their picks, including any underlying themes. Let them know how they did. Do you have your own marathon in mind? Let them know...

Lee and Paul check out an obscure Thanksgiving-themed slasher film "Home Sweet Home" (1981), staring personal trainer to the stars Jake "Body by Jake" Steinfeld, and directed by Nettie Peña. Is it turkey time or is this just a turkey?

Lee and Paul are back to talk about two slasher films in this episode which carry a lot of similarities the hosts hadn't originally realized. This time out they cover "The Demon" (1979), directed by Percival Rubens & "Girls Nite Out" (1982), directed by Robert Deubel. Much talk of the failings of these films, the unexpected joys, and the performances of the slumming name actors, Cameron Mitche...
