They Must Be Destroyed On Sight!

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...

Lee and Daniel are back to cap off this run of the sex comedy series, this time with their friend and returning special guest Kit Power, who suggested the films they cover in this episode. We get to see more of the on-screen talents of Ann-Margret in the flashy Elvis film "Viva Las Vegas" (1964) & in the deep-but-depressing "Carnal Knowledge" (1971). Was Elvis a good actor, or did Ann-Margret...

The sex comedy series continues. The whole gang is back together to tackle two well-known porn parodies that came out long before the recent porn parody fad of the last few years. They cover 1974's "Flesh Gordon", as well as its sequel from 1990, "Flesh Gordon Meets the Cosmic Cheerleaders". Inbetween their own terrible jokes and wild tangents, Lee, Daniel and Paul consider the level of humour in...

TMBDOS! Grab Bag. That's right, Lee got lazy this month and selected various tracks that have appeared on official episodes of TMBDOS! Actually, Lee just got swamped with real lif enonsense, so this was the best he could do on short notice. All said and done, he thinks this is a pretty solid playlist. --Take a Chance from "Rebus" (1969) -- Luis Bacalov; Vocals by Ann-margret (episode 90) --Maga Ma...

Lee and Daniel continue their look at sex comedies, again trying out something old and something more "modern". This time out it's the Italian anthology sex comedy "The Queens" (1966), featuring four beautiful ladies of the period, and then they take another trip to Canada to take a look at the "Police Academy" rip-off "Recurits" (1986). Lee also talks about two films he recently watched. "The Que...

We're back for more sex comedies this episode with Lee and Daniel. This week the hosts drool over the silly and charming "The Swinger" (1966), featuring the beautiful Ann Margret. Then they go to T & A High School to see some boobs in "Screwballs" (1983). A great sequence from "The Swinger" "The Swinger" IMDB "Screwballs" IMDB Featured Music: "The Swinger" by Ann Margret, "Shake that Thing" &a...

After almost two years of going in other directions, Lee and Daniel bring the podcast back to their sex comedy series. Starting off they look at what might be the prototype for the teen beach movie in 1963's "Beach Party", and then they jump twenty years ahead to look at one of the most obvious dick joke flms ever made with 1983's "Joysticks". Listener comments are also covered. "Beach Party" IMDB...

Lee is back with the third and final (for now) part of his list of selections from his favourite soundtracks/scores from Westerns. If you've guessed that there's a ton of Italian tracks in here, you'd be quite correct, but Lee still managed to sneak in a few North American entries he remembered. Playlist: --Do Not Forsake Me, Oh My Darlin from "High Noon" (1953) -- Tex Ritter --The Cowboys from "T...

Lee and Daniel are back for a special episode of TMBDOS!. This time out they take a look at three films of the recently departed actress Mary Dorothy Maloney (January 29, 1924 – January 19, 2018), known best as Dorothy Malone. This is not a detailed look at her entire lengthy career, but more of a fan discovery for the hosts, as they watch two films she did when no longer under contract by the big...

Lee is back with part 2 of his list of selections from his favourite western's soundtracks/scores. This time it's pretty much all Italian westerns. He had so much fun going down this rabbit hole that he's decided there will be a part 3 next month. Playlist: --Theme from The Magnificent Seven from "The Magnificent Seven" (1960) -- Elmer Bernstein --Django from "Django" (1966) -- Luis Bacalov /w Roc...
