Welcome back to TMBDOS - They Must Be Decorated On Sight! Yes, It's your hosts Lee, Daniel and special guest Jack Graham giving you the best podcast on decorations of all types. Expect tips, tricks, and news about decoration innovations for all occasions. This week the hosts cover the history of Victorian Christmas decorations. Actually, that was all a lie. The hosts are really here to talk about...

Lee and Daniel talk about Orson Welles' long-unfinished and unreleased film "The Other Side of the Wind" (2018), which is now available on Netflix. There's just so much to dig into here that the hosts do their best to balance talk about its long and complicated history with talk about if it's any good. A listener comment is read and the hosts also mention the passing of William Goldman. The Other...

Lee and Daniel try to keep their heads above water while exploring Dream-time in Peter Weir's "The Last Wave" (1977). Can they make sense of what the film is trying to say about the relationships between colonial powers and decimated native populations, especially those found in Australia? Does the movie even know what it's trying to do? The hosts also respond to listener comments and play an inte...

Originally Lee and Daniel were going to cover "The Last Wave", but Lee sustained a real life knee injury that prevented his prep-work. So the hosts decided to record an informal chat about what they've been watching as of late, and opened up to the listeners for some questions, which they answer on the second half of the show. There's lots of random asides and a bare minimum of editing in this one...

Lee and Daniel finish their look at the Amando de Ossorio Blind Dead films with 1974's "The Ghost Galleon" & 1975's "Night of the Seagulls". Is "Ghost Galleon" really the worst of the Blind Dead films? If so, is it any good at all? Did Ossorio mange to perfect the formula with "Seagulls"? How would the hosts remake the Blind Dead films if they had the chance? All of this and more in this episo...

For the first time in TMBDOS! history one of our guest apperances on another podcast makes it onto the TMBDOS! feed. That's because Cort and Matt of Cinema Psyops invited the whole crew over to help them talk about Jess Franco's "Mansion of the Living Dead" (1982). Lee, Daniel and Paul help them ponder if this really has anything to do with the Blind Dead films, or is it just a well-paid vacation...

Lee and Daniel are joined by the fantastic Cort Psyops of the Cinema Psyops and Obsessive Cinema Discourse podcasts to tackle the first two entries into Amando de Ossorio's Blind Dead series "Tombs of the Blind Dead" (1972) & "Return of the Evil Dead" (1973). This is the first part of a collab with Cinema Psyops, as some or all of the TMBDOS! crew will in turn join Cort and his co-host Matt on...

Lee and Daniel check out a slightly obscure Italian-USA co-production from 1959; the Riccardo Freda & Mario Bava-directed "Caltiki, The Immortal Monster". Is this post-"The Blob" blob monster film any good? Better than "The Blob"? Or is it just a load of tripe? The special effects, sweaty breasts, and dissolved jerk-off hands are somehow brought up in the conversation. What the hosts have watched...

Lee is joined by the host of one of the best horror movie podcasts out there (as well as a plethroa of other quality horror and non-horror podcasts) Duncan McLeish, host of The Podcast Under the Stairs. Together they tackle Gary Sherman's "Dead & Buried" from 1981. A video nasty in the UK, and hamstrung by the decisions the producers made behind the scenes, the film had little chance of succes...

Before taking a month off from Blood on the Tracks to make way for the Wolfman, Lee Van Teeth, to do his Halloween show next month, Lee decided to drop some selections from his favourite horror film scores into your ear holes (now with a lot less talking!). Playlist: --The Lament Configuration from "Hellraiser" (1989) -- Christopher Young --Children of the New Dawn from "Mandy" (2018) -- Jóhann Jó...

Lee, Daniel, and Paul dare to face the challenge of The Funhouse (1981), directed by Tobe Hooper. Is this an over-looked classic, or is it just a bit too dull to be anything but just okay? The crew has a spirited discussion of the film, tv guide, and jacking off in a Frakenstein's Monster mask. Who in the cast looks like a Troll Doll? What Lee has watched as of late and a couple of listener commen...

Lee and Daniel have a slightly shorter than usual chat about Jorge Grau's 1974 zombie film "Let Sleeping Corpses Lie" (AKA: about a million other titles). The homages and departures from Romero's "Night of the Living Dead" are discussed. Were the many title changes an attempt to repackage a terrible film or is this a hidden gem? Lee also talks briefly about what he's watched as of late. "Let Sleep...

What's better than three Hammer films about vampires? Why three Hammer films about lesbian vampires of course! In this episode Lee and Daniel are joined by their friend and fellow podcaster, Gary Hill, of the Cinema Beef podcast, to tackle two films in the so-called Karnstein trilogy. Together the three talk about "The Vampire Lovers" (1970) and "Twins of Evil" (1971). After that it's just Lee and...

The world was ending so damn much that it could not be contained in just one show, so here's part two of Lee's look at the soundtracks and scores of dystopian and post-apocalyptic films. Playlist: --The Fighter Centurions from "The Fighter Centurions 2072" (1986) -- Riz Ortolani --Hands of Steel from "Hands of Steel" (1986) -- Claudio Simonetti --Main Title/What's Wrong? from "THX 1138" (1971) --...

Lee and Paul decided to go way out into left field from what we've been covering as of late and check out the Joe D'Amato-directed, and George Eastman-written and starring slasher films "Antropophagus" (1980) & "Absurd" (1981). Do these noted members of the Video nasties list live up to their reputations? Are they any good? What lengths did Paul go to to first see these films? Is "Absurd" just...

Lee and Daniel are back this week to talk about yet another vampire film - well, it's vampire-like anyway. This week it's Hammer's "Countess Dracula" (1971), directed by Peter Sasdy and starring the lovely and, in a couple of instances, nude Ingrid Pitt. How close does this story, based on the real life "Blood Countess" Elizabeth Bathory, stick to the known facts? Does it go far enough? What's wit...

Lee and Daniel take a trip deep underground to feast their eyes on "Death Line", AKA: "Raw Meat", from 1972, directed by Gary Sherman. Being a film that was buried for many years, the hosts dig into the deeper-than-expected social commentary and the brilliant performances, as well as the vivid gore & make up effects work. What the hosts have watched lately is also covered. Come on in and listen -...

Lee and Daniel tackle a film they don't think was made for white boys like themselves. This time out it's "Ganja & Hess" (1973), directed by Bill Gunn. Is this Black vampire film just a "Blackula" rip-off or is it so much more? Why was it not more of a box office success? How much Black donkey dick is in it? What do they think about using bathwater for something other than washing oneself? A l...

Lee is back after missing a month. This time out he's spinning tracks from films about dystopian futures and post-apocalyptic scenerios... two situations that don't seem too far off these days. Playlist: --Bronx 1990 from "1990: The Bronx Warriors" (1982) -- Walter Rizzati --Escape Sequence 1 from "Escape from the Bronx" (1983) -- Francesco De Masi --Main Title from "Escape from New York" (1981) -...

Lee is flying solo for an intermission episode. He runs down what's coming up on the podcast; what he's been up to on other podcasts; what he purchased in a recent Barnes & Noble Criterion sale; and brief reviews of some recent watches. Catch Lee on Short Bus Cinema Films Reviewd: "Last Rampage: The Escape of Gary Tison" (2017) "Mercury Rising" (1998) "Big Legend" (2018) "Escape Plan 2: Hades" (20...

The whole gang takes a look at a late Hammer Horror offering - one that was an attempt to breath some life into the quickly dying studio. The film in question is "Captain Kronos - Vampire Hunter" (1974); a film that's not your usual Hammer production. Is it different enough? Is it any good? How does it compare to previous Hammer vampire films? Did Paul once hit on Caroline Munro in real life? Is t...

This episode Lee has two separate conversations with Daniel and Paul about Amando de Ossorio's "The Loreley's Grasp" (1973). Is it just a cheesy monster film with bad effects? Is it a sex comedy? Is it a masterful blend of those two genres, along with German mythology? Or is it just a big mess? What's up with the hero's tight pants? Why is Billy Connolly in this? All of this and more, including a...

The whole crews is on board to cover Jess Franco's adaptation of Bram Stoker's "Dracula" in 1970's "Count Dracula". How close is it to the source material? Are there any lesbian sex scenes in it? Can a giant boulder kill a horse? Christoper Lee with a mustache? All of this and more, as well as what the host's have watched as of late. "Count Dracula" IMDB Featured Music: "Allucinante" & "Processo"...

Lee and Daniel are back to start off and extended look at horror films. First off they've decided to revisit their old friend Jess Franco for what might just be his most accomplished work, 1969's "Venus in Furs" (AKA: "Paroxismus"). Does this trippy, dream-like revenge from the grave story, pushed forward by an amazing psychedelic jazz score, manage to come together on a narrative level, or is it...
