They Must Be Destroyed On Sight!

No regular episode this week, but Lee managed to work in an Intermission episode. What's he been doing, what's coming up on the podcast next, and what's on board for the month of October? All of this is covered as well as reviews of "Fracture" (2007), "Under the Shadow" (2016), and "Outland" (1981). There's also a brief mention of the death of Frank Vincent and a bit more talk about the death of H...

Lee and Daniel are back to finish-off this run of H.P. Lovecraft adaptations with a fairly in-depth discussion about Stuart Gordon's "Re-Animator" (1985). Also on deck are two short films: "The Call of Cthulhu" (2005) & "Out of Mind: The Stories of H.P. Lovecraft" - the former being an adaptation of Lovecraft's story, done in the style of a 1920s-era silent film; the latter being both an adaptatio...

Episode 5 of Blood on the Tracks features the hosting talents of TMBDOS!'s wild man himself, the last true wolf man of rock and roll, LEE VAN TEETH! Join ol' Lee as he guides you though some fine selections from the soundtracks and scores of his favourite werewolf films. Beware, listening to the wolfman has been known to get ear pussies preggers. Use protection: wear your flea collars! Playlist: -...

Back for more Lovecraft-inspired weirdness this week, Lee and Daniel jump headfirst into the kinky, goo-covered Stuart Gordon adaptation "From Beyond" (1986). There's lots of conversation about how effectively the film adapts and branches out from the original source material, and if it manages to effectively balance the BDSM elements and special effects with Lovecraft's central themes. Lovecraft'...

Lee and Paul are back to check out another H.P. Lovecraft-inspired film. This time it's the fairly obscure "The Resurrected" (1991). Although this is a shorter than usual episode, the hosts go over how close the film does or does not stick to the source material , "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward", and Lee has added some clips of him reading short excerpts from the story. "The Resurrected" IMDB Fe...

Lee and Paul are here (but not really sober) this week to kick off a run of episodes looking at H. P. Lovecraft-inspired films. In this episode they check out the somewhat overlooked "Necronomicon" (1993). Does this horror anthology manage to live up to the lofty term "Lovecraftian"? Regardless, is it any good? Also covered: what they've watched as of late and/or purchased, and Paul SINGS for your...

Episode four of Blood on the Tracks takes a trip overseas to explore the land of Gialli, cannibals, Mario Bava, and Hollywood rip-offs. That's right, it's the vast landscape of Italian horror cinema. Lee found himself down another rabbit hole this month, making some difficult decisions on what did and did not manage to make the cut for the show. Put on some black gloves and a trenchcoat, badly dub...

Lee comes back with an intermission episode. In this episode he runs down what's been going on and what to expect from the podcast in the near future. He plugs three podcasts he's been listening to as of late, and then he moves on to give short reviews of two films he recently watched: "Hard Times" (1975) & "Who'll Stop the Rain" (1978). There's also a special guest appearance by Lee Van Teeth! "H...

They Must Be Destroyed On Sight! has finally reached 100 official episodes! To celebrate, Lee, Daniel and the returning Paul take a gander at the George Romero classic "Night of the Living Dead" (1968). It's a full-on drunken commentary for the film. While they are not sure if they provided any original insights, the hosts at least had a lot of fun sitting back and chatting about the film. Also, b...

This is the bare-bones commentary track for George A Romero's classic black & white horror film from 1968, "Night of the Living Dead". This track can also be found as part of our official 100th episode of TMBDOS!. This version is provided for the sake of convenience, so you can just jump right into the commentary. You can also listen to this track with an uploaded copy of the film on YouTube here...

Lee and Daniel have finally made it to the end of the podcast's extended series on crime films with a massive episode on Quentin Tarantino's 1997 adaptation of Elmore Leonard's crime novel "Rum Punch". That's right, time to talk some Pam Grier in "Jackie Brown"! Is it QT's best film? Is it the best modern era crime film? Is this Grier's best work? Is Spike Lee an ass for being critical of the libe...

It's the third episode of Blood on the Tracks, and this episode comes as a result of a poll Lee ran on the TMBDOS! Facebook page. The people voted for Heavy Metal Horror, so Lee went down a much deeper rabbit hole than he initially expected. Most of these tracks come from films that do feature heavy metal as part of the plot, but in some cases it's just films that are well-known for their metal so...

Lee & Daniel are joined this week by the fantastic Mike Murphy of the Badasses, Boobs and Bodycounts podcast to talk about the 2007 David Fincher-directed "Zodiac". How accurate is it? Is it overrated? Does it work as a film as a whole? All these things and more are mulled over in this lengthy episode, including if the Zodiac was, in fact, Mike's dad. Also, Mike gets to play the Movie God Game, an...

The second installment of Blood on the Tracks has arrived to make sure you don't get jived. Join Lee as he takes your ears on this show's initial trip down the funky, soulful and bumpy road of Blaxploitation soundtracks and scores. Be warned, that dreaded "N" word pops up a time or two. Playlist: --Sweetback's Theme from "Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song" (1971) -- Melvin Van Peebles & Earth, Win...

This week Lee and Daniel break into Michael Mann's feature film debut, "Thief" (1981). Also covered: listener comments and what they've watched as of late. "Thief" IMDB Featured Music: "Igneous" by Tangerine Dream & "Confrontation" by Craig Safan.

Lee and Daniel get closer to the end of this extend look at crime films by checking out two more Poliziotteschi films. First-up, they look at the mostly forgotten slow-burn from Romolo Guerrieri, "The Police Serve the Citizens?" (1973). Then they check out the action-packed Enzo G. Castellari film, "The Heroin Busters" (1977). Much of the talk of the latter surrounds Fabio Testi's amazing wardrobe...

Lee and Daniel are joined this week by their friend Kit Power, making his return in the guest host position, to cover the Raoul Walsh-directed "White Heat" (1949), starring James Cagney, and Jules Dassin's "Night and the City" (1950), starring Richard Widmark. 1940s iPods and dated 1990s references somehow make their way into the conversation. The hosts also cover what they have watched as of late...

Welcome to the first episode of Blood on the Tracks, a sub-podcast of TMBDOS!, devoted to celebrating and exploring film soundtracks and scores. A new episode will be available at the end of every month. These will mostly be solo-casts, thus they will be more akin to the Intermission episodes, but hopefully you'll be able to overlook the awkardness of the host trying to fill dead air and just enjo...

This week Lee and Daniel take a look at Sam Peckinpah's boozy crime/revenge tale, "Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia" (1974). Is it a late Peckinpah masterpiece, or is it just a mess? Also talked about: what they've watched as of late (including the new MST3K), and they read a couple of listener comments. NOTE: there are a few audio glitches in this due to Skype being a prick. Sorry about that....

Lee and Daniel continue their look at crime films. This week they tackle the lonely, quiet getaway drivers of "The Driver" (1978) and "Drive" (2011) in a big episode. They also cover what they've watched as of late and Lee announces an upcoming podcast that will be debuting under the TMBDOS! Radio banner at the end of the month. What's it going to be about? Well, here's a hint: this episode is fil...

Lee and Daniel are back talking crime films, and are joined by their friend Jack Graham, returning as guest host, to help tackle the Coen brother's modern classic "Fargo" (1996). Also covered: what they've watched as of late; a tangent on Marvel tv shows and films; and some talk about VHS rental places, later on in the show. "Fargo" IMDB   Jack Graham's links: His Twitter .

The gang is back together (briefly) to pay tribute to the late Bill Paxton, as Paul, Daniel and Lee relate their memories of his career on film. Before they bid Paul farwell, what they've watched as of late is also chatted about. Then Lee and Daniel get into the meat of the episode by talking about the thriller/neo-noir "A Simple Plan", from 1998, directed by Sam Rami of all people. "A Simple Plan...

As usual with these intermission episodes, the original plans fell through for an official episode, so here's a small fix for those who expect an episode every week. This time out friend of the show Kit Power has come through like a superstar to give you all a verbal beat-down of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" (2016), and then he has much more positive things to say about "The LEGO Batman Mo...

Lee and Daniel are back to cover two crime movies featuring the vocal, acting, and visual talents of Ann-Margret: one unfairly-judged, in 1964's "Kitten With a Whip", and one almost totally lost to time in 1969's "Rebus". Also covered: what the hosts have watched as of late; listener comments; and they do get into a short rant about female models and sex workers, who were often used in many of the...

Lee and Daniel are back to check out some British criminal scum and other assorted characters in Guy Ritchie's "Snatch" (2000). This episode quickly stops being a critical review and more of a fun conversation about all the things they love about this modern classic of the genre. Also covered: Lee's two guest appearances on other podcasts, what they've watched as of late, and listener comments.  "...
