They Must Be Destroyed On Sight!

In this episode Lee and Daniel tackle two films that have nothing to do with each other, but Daniel wanted to talk about them. First off it's a fairly breezy conversation about the Finnish "kill all the Nazis" WW2 action film "Sisu" (2022), directed by Jalmari Helander. Then they cover the film Apple decided to buy and then abuse like its red-headed stepchild, "Wolfs" (2024), directed by Jon Watts...

Lee and Daniel are back in this episode to talk about not only 2005's low budget, gore-heavy horror comedy "Feast", directed by John Gulager. No, they also cover the Ben Affleck & Matt Damon-produced reality tv series "Project Greenlight", specifically season 3, which was all about the making of the film. The conversation revolves around how the film plays knowing what you get to know from wha...

There's no regular episode this week yet Lee was determined to drone on into his mic, but he's not alone! Friend and fellow podcaster Gary Hill returns to take turns with Lee talking about recent watches, including the new animated film in the Predator franchise, "Predator: Killer of Killers". Check out Lee and Daniel's recent appearance on Everything I Learned from Movies .  Catch Gary's podcasts...

Lee is joined by friends and returning guest hosts Robby and Wick to cover John Flynn's "The Outfit" (1973), starring Robert Duvall, Karen Black, and the recently departed Joe Don Baker. Being one of several adaptations of a book in the popular "Parker" series of crime novels, the hosts ponder the virtues of Donald Westlake's more matter-of-fact blue collar criminal world, and the hard-nosed profe...

The 1990s were a weird and often really interesting time for the slasher film genre. Join Lee as he navigates the often even weirder soundtracks and scores of those films in the first of a 3-part series. --He's Invisible from "The Invisible Maniac" (1990) --Dan Povenmire --Maniac Cop Rap from "Maniac Cop 2" (1990) --Jay Chattaway, Wayne Lammers and Peter Levin --I'll be Right There from "Prom Nigh...

Lee's riding solo this week, so you the listener gets an Intermission episode. Lee covered what's going on with the podcast and then talks about what he's watched as of late, including some films starring the recently deceased Joe Don Baker, and the new horror film "Sinners".

This Week Lee and Daniel are yet again joined by friend Jack Graham to cap off the extended look into both Gene Hackman and 1990s thrillers with Peter Hyams' remake of "The Narrow Margin" (1952), "Narrow Margin" (1990). Does this train ride take too long or does it have one hell of a sexy caboose? The host's also talk about what they've watched as of late. Buy the ticket, take the long, slow ride...

Lee, Daniel & Jack hunker down in a van full of sweaty tech bros and spy on everyone in this week's episode covering "Enemy of the State" (1998), directed by Tony Scott, and starring Will Smith and Gene Hackman. Is this a sequel to "The Conversation", as movie discourse seems to demand it be these days, or it it just a massive piece of shit? This is talked about, and more, including what the h...

Lee decided to get back on the vanity project kick this month, covering yet more soundtracks and scores from those films made by someone with a singular and sometimes misguided cinematic vision. --Ain't Gwine To Whistle Dixie (Any Mo') from "Clay Pigeon" (1971) --Taj Mahal --Just You, Just Me from "The Groove Tube" (1974) --Ken Shapiro --Tuesday Afternoon from "The Astrologer" (1976) --The Moody B...

Lee and Daniel are joined in this episode by their friend Jack Graham, who co-hosts the I Don't Speak German podcast with Daniel, to talk about "Rising Sun" (1993), directed by Philip Kaufman, and based on the novel by Michael Crichton. The film follows Sean Connery and Wesley Snipes as they navigate Japanese culture, while trying to solve a murder, in ways that sometimes make Mickey Rooney's yell...

Lee and Daniel decided to go deep (well, as deep as a Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer production can get), both literally and figuratively, as they tackle the epic shouty men on a submarine film, "Crimson Tide" (1995), directed by Tony Scott, and starring Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman as said shouty men. Has the threat of nuclear war ever been more dumb and full of cum? Was Tarantino punchi...

Lee, Daniel and Leah form up a posse this time out to cover George P. Cosmatos' epic 1990s western "Tombstone" (1993), starring, well, pretty much everyone who was a name or would be a name in the next few years. Val Kilmer's recent death was the excuse to cover the film, but aside from talking about his career-defining performance, the hosts also talk about just how great everyone else is, and if...

Lee, Daniel, and their friend and fellow podcaster James Murphy talk about Ken Russell's "The Lair of the White Worm" (1988), based on a novel by some guy called Bram Stoker. Did Russell manage something better than the source material here? Just where does this film seem to fit into the history of British horror, and just how horny is this film anyway? The hosts also talk about what they've watch...

This month Lee has revenge on his mind... 1970s revenge to be specific. So, he created a playlist of music from various 1970s films that deal with revenge in some form or another. Do not transgress against this podcast or it might come back to get your ass! --Main Theme from "The Night Visitor" (1971) --Henry Mancini --Daughter of Loneliness from "Bury Me an Angel" (1971) --East-West Pipeline --De...

Lee and Daniel are joined by friend and fellow podcaster Gary Hill to cover Michael Ritchie's "Prime Cut" (1972), starring Lee Marvin, Gene Hackman, and a young & debuting Sissy Spacek!

"Prime Cut" IMDB   Check out Daniel's other podcast, I Don't Speak German , and s...

Lee and Daniel are joined by new guests to the show, Steve and Izzy of the Everything I Learned From Movies Podcast, to talk about the little-known indie sci-fi slasher film "The Terminator" (1984), directed by flash-in-the-pan James Cameron, and starring people nobody has ever heard of, like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton. All kidding aside, the hosts try their best to have a fun conver...

Lee and Daniel pay a bit of tribute to the recently departed Gene Hackman by talking briefly about what he meant to each of them, and then covering a film he appeared in before he hit it big in "The French Connection". The film in question is the Bill Norton-directed "Cisco Pike" (1971), which was a tailor-made debut film for then upcoming musician Kris Kristofferson. The hosts conversation revolv...

Lee caps off Black History Month with another Blaxploitation playlist for your listening pleasure, in a slightly shorter episode than usual (hey, it's a short month). --Call Me Mister Tibbs (Main Title) from "They Call Me Mister Tibbs" (1970) --Quincy Jones --Coffin Ed and Grave Digger & Cotton Comes to Harlem from "Cotton Come to Harlem" (1970) --Galt MacDermot; vocals by George Tipton --Main...

Lee and Leah are joined this week by returning guests hosts Matt and Vaughn to talk about Barry Shear's "Across 110th Street (1972)", starring Anthony Quinn, Yaphet Kotto, and Anthony Franciosa. Don't be another punk errand boy, and tune it to listen to the hosts talk about what they've watched, and what they thought about this 1970s American crime drama, that does more than just nod at the Blaxpl...

Lee is joined by fellow podcasters Matt and Vaughn to cover Arthur Marks' "Bucktown" (1975), starring Fred Williamson, Thalmus Rasulala, and Pam Grier. Is this a hidden Blaxploitation gem? Also, the co-hosts get to play a new trivia game: BEYOND BELIEF: MOVIE FACT OR FICTION, and everyone talks about what they watched as of late. "Bucktown" IMDB   Check out Matt at Movie Melt .  Check out Vaughn a...

Lee tries to start off 2025 on a positive note with a playlist from everyone's favourite Italian brother duo, Guido & Maurizio De Angelis. If you're counting, this is the fourth time Lee has done a show covering the work of the prolific brothers (search the archives on Podbean for parts 1-3), be it under their names, Oliver Onions, or some of the lesser known pseudonyms they've used over the d...

Lee and guest host Matt Anderson leave no stone unturned as they talk about the oddball 1950s sci-fi/disaster film "The Monolith Monsters" (1957), directed by John Sherwood. How can rocks that grow be all that scary? Does the film manage to sell that idea? The hosts talk a lot about how effective this low budget film is, and the people behind it, including the influence of genre king Jack Arnold....

Lee is joined this week by friends and previous guests Wick and Robby to cover the overlooked gem "The Matador" (2005), directed by Richard Shepard, and starring a post-Bond Pierce Brosnan, who is doing his best to shake off that Bond type-casting. The hosts do a fairly deep dive into a surprising character piece, that feels like it was marketed as a crazy Guy Ritchie-type crime/spy film. The host...

Lee and Daniel are joined by friends and past guests Nick and Greg to talk about Russell Mulcahy's "Highlander" (1986), starring Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery. Bad accents; excellent visuals; confusing lore; Michael Ironside with a mullet; and a legacy of a franchise with fantastic highs and bottom of the barrel lows are things that are talked about, along with a ton of other asides, includ...

2024 has come and gone. Lee and Leah are together for the first TMBDOS! of 2025 to talk about their best and worst first-time watches during the past year. Lee also has some honourable mentions to get through as well. Of note, this episode was recorded during a live stream, so there's some brief moments where the hosts are interacting with the chat as well. It made for a long but fun show! Lee's H...
