Lee and Daniel continue their look into crime and noir films, and are joined by a special guest this week: writer and fellow podcaster Jack Graham, who writes the blog Shabogan Graffiti, and hosts his podcast, Shabcast, from there as well. This week the panel takes a look at two 1980s neo-noir films. First up is the tightly-written classic debut film from the Coen brothers, " Blood Simple " from 1...

Lee and Daniel continue their look at noir/neo-noir and crime films. This week it's the Bogart & Bacall powerhouse " The Big Sleep " from 1946, directed by Howard Hawks.

This week they take a look at 1947's " Kiss of Death ", directed by Henry Hathaway and featuring a star-making performance by Richard Widmark.

This week Daniel and Lee are back to cover two more films in their look at noir, neo-noir, and some other crime films in general.

Also covered: a small aside about Netflix and how it's changed in the la...

Lee and Daniel return to continue their look into noir/neo-noir, and other crime films of interest to them. This week they take a look at a bit of an unknown indie noir from director, writer, and actor, Allen Baron, called " Blast of Silence ", from 1960. Is this an over-looked classic? Is it a true transition between the classic noir and the new neo-noir films? Or is it a film with big ambitions...

This week Lee and Daniel begin an extended look at Noir and Neo-Noir films (and maybe a few standard crime films in-between) with the Robert Altman directed and Leigh Brackett-witten adaptation of Raymond Chandler's " The Long Goodbye " (1973).

This is it, TMBDOS has finally made it to fifty official episodes, and now it's time for Lee, Daniel and Paul to tackle the film that provided this humble bit of audio nonsense its name and mascot. Yes, George A. Romero's zombie classic " Dawn of the Dead " is reviewed in exhausting detail, peppering in some music clips and sound bites for good measure. Sadly Paul could not join in on the recordin...

Lee, Daniel and Paul are back this week to take a look at one of the least-disputed classics from the start of the talkies: Fritz Lang's "M"  from 1931. A film with decades of scholarship and critical analysis behind it is a daunting task, but a fairly in-depth discussion is drawn from it, as well as the  little-known 1951 American remake . They also discuss what they've watched, which spirals off...

Due to some real life issues, Lee could not put together a recording this week, so Daniel was cool enough to take the helm and record an intermission episode. Daniel briefly covers the movies and TV he's been watching in the last little while. Hopefully next week the entire gang will be back together for "M" from 1931. Featured Music: "Electric Boogaloo" by Ollie & Jerry.

This week Lee and Daniel take a look at two interesting horror gems from the early 1970s. First off it's the fifth film in the Hammer Dracula cycle, 1970's " Taste the Blood of Dracula ", directed by Peter Sasdy. Then they look at a film that has more than a little in common with John W. Campbell, Jr.'s "Who Goes There?" (better known by most from its other big screen adaptations "The Thing from A...

Lee, Daniel, and Paul are back for another visit with the films of Jess Franco as they take a look at 1971's erotic revenge film " She Killed in Ecstasy " and the much-abused sexed-up gothic horror " A Virgin Among the Living Dead ", from 1973.

Lee and Daniel are joined this week by Lee's friend from the online beer reviewing community on YouTube, Hugh, better known as the Beerzerker. This time out they are taking a look at John Boorman's 1974 sci-fi film " Zardoz ", starring a half-naked Sean Connery. They dig deep under the layers of Connery's red diaper to explore the various themes and ideas the film is really dealing with, once you...

This week Lee and Daniel are joined by Dan's wife Shana and their mutual friend Ryan to discuss two selections from the filmography of Mel Brooks. It seems to be the norm with this podcast to somewhat avoid the obvious films from any given director, and that theme is continued here as the start and end (so far) of the second half of Brooks' directing career are covered here in 1981's " History of...

A little late this week, but worth it: Lee, Daniel and Paul take a look at Jess Franco's 1971 erotic art house horror film " Vampyros Lesbos ".

Featured Music: "The Lions and the Cucumber" by Manfred Hübler & Siegfried Schwab.

Lee is back with Daniel and Paul in what became a very long episode. The year is winding down, Halloween and Thanksgiving have just passed, and we are approaching Christmas and New Year's. So this time out the theme is a general chat about holiday films, that often goes off on lengthy asides. They also talk about what they've been watching as of late (which leads to more lengthy asides), and they...

Lee and his brother Scott are back this week for another film commentary track for a film that otherwise probably would never get one. Join them as they watch Bill Brame's 1974 Blaxploitation diamond-in-the-rough " Jive Turkey ". What's a better waste of you time than to watch a public domain Black gangster film, set in the 1950s, that's obviously filmed in 1974? How can you deny yourself a film t...

Lee's flying solo this week, talking about what's coming up on the podcast straight through to the end of the year. There's also some talk about the recent death of Gunnar Hansen, some shout-outs to other podcasts and a bit of a review of the new Western/Horror mash-up "Bone Tomahawk". Featured Music: "Night Theme"; "Night Theme (Reprise)" & "Master Charge" by Iggy Pop and James Williamson.

Lee, Daniel and Paul are back again, this time they take a fairly deep look into Paul Thomas Anderson's " Punch-Drunk Love " from 2002, and yet feel like they've only scratched the surface. Also: Lee welcomes the recent influx of new listeners, and then the crew goes over listener comments and what they've watched and/or purchased in the last little while. Featured music: "He Needs Me" by Harry Ni...

Lee, Daniel and Paul are back with their final part of their initial look at Italian horror. This week they cap things off with Umberto Lenzi's 1980 zombie film " Nightmare City ", and then take a look at a much deeper than expected giallo/slasher, in the form of Sergio Martino's " Torso " from 1973. Daniel also gives some thoughts on "Deep Red" and "Tenebre" after finally catching up on them. Als...

This week in part four of our Italian horror series Lee talks with Daniel and Paul in separate conversations about Luigi Cozzi's 1980 gory sci-fi horror " Contamination " and then they end up having A LOT to say about the late schlock-meister Bruno Mattei's 1980 "Dawn"/"Zombi" rip-off " Hell of the Living Dead ". Lee and Daniel also cover what they've watched in the last little while. This may ver...

Lee, Daniel and Paul are back for part 3 of their look at Italian Horror. This time out they take a look at two selections from a true legend in not only Italian horror, but horror in general: Mario Bava. The films covered are 1963's Boris Karloff-hosted anthology " Black Sabbath ", and then 1971's proto-slasher " A Bay of Blood ". Also covered: listener comments and what they've watched/purchased...

Lee is joined by Paul for a special bonus episode. Since this podcast often leans towards horror, they decided to do what every other horror-related podcast does and do a list show revolving around their favourite movies to watch on and around Halloween. Both made up two separate lists: favourite picks, that they generally watch alone, and then party films, best watched with friends. Also, just fo...
