They Must Be Destroyed On Sight!

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...

Although Lee and Daniel doubt anyone who has watched "Bright" (2017) would want to sit through it again, they decided to do a commentary track on it anyway. Spoilers: they are not fans. But don't worry - this is not just two hours of shitting on the film without any actual insight and discussion about why they don't like it... and there's some laughs as well. Alcohol and/or drugs are probably a go...

Lee and Daniel are back after a short two-week hiatus to tackle 1988's "Alien Nation". Does it hold up? Does it do a good job of getting across the points it's trying to make, or did it take the one season of television and five tv films to fully explore its concept? Why is James Caan part of Lee's sexual awakening? All of this is covered, listener comments, and what we've watched lately as well....

In this episode Lee decided to play some selections from his favourite westerns (part 2 coming next episode). Lee tried really, really hard not to let Italian westerns take over this first playlist. He really did. Playlist: --Hang 'Em High Theme from "Hang 'Em High" (1968) -- Dominic Frontiere --Main Title from "High Plains Drifter" (1973) -- Dee Barton --Claudia's Theme from "Unforgiven" (1992) -...

It's more 1980s; it's more sci-fi, but with some punk rockers, a latino militant rebel group, Harry Dean Stanton, and lots of generic groceries! Yup, it's time for Lee and Daniel to check out Alex Cox's Repo Man from 1984. Lee starts off fairly intoxicated and just gets worse, but the conversation is as fun as hell. Listener comments and what the hosts have listened to are also covered. "Repo Man"...

Lee and Daniel are back, continuing on their (mostly) 1980s sci-fi theme to cover 1986's "Short Circuit" and the sequel from 1988 "Short Circuit 2". Then they jump into the 1990s to phreak-out with the cult classic "Hackers" (1995). There's a surprising amount of talk about the background of the hacker culture, and a lot of asides about all three films, including Lee's take on what "Short Circuit...

Continuing with a short series on mostly weird 1980s (and possibly some 1990s) sci-fi, Lee and Daniel tackle two more mainstream examples in "Innerspace" and "Batteries Not Included", both from 1987. Listener comments and what they've watched lately are also covered. "Innerspace" IMDB   "Batteries Not Included" IMDB Catch Lee and Daniel on the latest episode of the Badasses, Boobs and Bodycounts p...

This time out on Blood on the Tracks Lee found himself busy and hurting for a topic before the month came to a close. He happened to be watching "Taste the Blood of Dracula" and a subject for the episode came to mind: the Hammer scores of James Bernard. At times his pieces were big and bombastic, at other times subtle and creepy, and even flowery and romantic, thus he envoked both power and forebo...

Lee and Daniel kick off a series looking at (mostly) 1980s sci-fi with two odd-ball entries into the genre, those being the obscure "Radioactive Dreams" (1985) and the cable tv staple "Cherry 2000" (1987). Listener comments and what they've watched as of late are also covered. "Radioactive Dreams" IMDB "Cherry 2000" IMDB Featured Music: "The Barricades" by Basil Poledouris & "Guilty Pleasures"...

2017 is gone but Lee and Daniel's best first-time watches remain burnt into their brains. If you hate their "what we've watched lately" segments (and there's one of those before the actual best-of conversation starts around 33 minutes in), this is pretty much an extended one of those. You've been warned. Dan's Best of 2017: "Drive" (2011) "I Am Not Your Negro" (2016) "Kitten with a Whip" (1964) "T...

Lee and Daniel kick off 2018 with the western/noir "Bad Day at Black Rock" (1955), directed by John Sturges. The boundries Sturges pushes against with the material relative to the time the film was made are discussed, as well as just what an amazing collection of talent is shown on screen. Also covered: a listener comment (sort of) and a lengthy discussion about what they've watched as of late (th...

The holiday season is here and it's getting bloody cold around these parts as winter finally sets in. At first Lee wanted to build a playlist around Christmas films, but he decided that was a bit too obvious and lame. After asking the TMBDOS! listeners what they wanted, he settled on movies set during the winter time that were not focused on the holidays. Although mostly focused on horror, there a...

Lee and Dan are continuing down the classic western film trail with what many consider to be the film that really breathed new life into, and also elevated the western genre from 'B' grade to 'A'. This episode it's John Ford's "Stagecoach" (1939). They talk about if it truly is a classic, how it made John Wayne a star, and the influences it had on films to come after it. Also covered: listener com...

All three hosts are back for this episode to give what might be both their most interesting and insightful yet drunkenly chaotic episode of TMBDOS! Starting off a short series on classic westerns, Daniel, Paul, and Lee take a look at two early examples of revisionist westerns with "High Noon" (1953) & "3:10 to Yuma" (1957). Much of the discussion revolves around how similar the films are and w...

Lee throws another intermission episode your way, this time just as purely a news update on what's been going on with TMBDOS! and what's coming soon to both finish up the end of the year and beyond. The Podcast Under the Stairs Movie Club City of the Dead Podcast Featured Music: "Is this Real?" & "Telepathic Love" by The Wipers, and "Tequila Sunrise (OST version)" by Le Matos.

Lee is back to dig into one of his favourite film genres of all time, especially when it come to soundtracks and scores: the Italian crime/Poliziotteschi film genre. Ultra violence, lurid sex, and all sorts of musical styles abound from these films, and Lee tried hard to trim down the playlist to some of his all-time favourite tracks. So load up your guns and take the law into your own hands as so...

This week the whole gang is back to take a look at William Friedkin's adaptation of "La Salaire de la Peur"/"The Wages of Fear", that being 1977's box office bomb "Sorcerer". Was it rightly dismissed back when it was released or did production problems and a little film called "Star Wars" kill the film's chances out of the gate? Also covered: listener comments and recent watches. "Sorcerer" IMDB T...
