They Must Be Destroyed On Sight!

Lee finally broke down and did the obvious for the Christmas season, and built a playlist featuring movies set during the Christmas season. This time out they all happen to be from movies in the 1980s, and mostly Christmas horror. Of course, due to the release schedule of this podcast, it's a few days late. Ho, ho, ho. --Suite from "Christmas Evil" (1980) --Don Christenson, Joel Harris, & Juli...

It's the Christmas episode of TMBDOS! (which HAS NOT DIED!) where Lee and Lady Leah talk about a film they've been watching every December together for a few years now, "The Muppet Christmas Carol" (1992); of course adapting the famous Charles Dickens story, and directed by Brian Henson. Things brought up include the underlying sadness and darkness in this kids/family film; how good of an adaptati...

The year is almost done, and Lee has some early stocking-stuffers for your in the form of short reviews of recent watches, as well as an update on the state of the podcast. Featured Music: "Just Chili" by Dave and the One-Ways & "Neon Slime" by Wings Hauser.

Lee comes back this month with a collection of odds and ends for the playlist, reflective of what he's been watching the last two months. Mostly it's music from his 31 Days of Horror watching, but there's a few non-horror selections from November. --My Own Robot from "The Swamp of the Ravens" (1974) --Joaquín Torres --Origin/Man Torn Apart & Fight to the Death from "Wolf Guy" (1975) --Hiroshi...

Lee and his friends Nick and Greg take on an epic task in this episode. They cover the film that propelled Arnold Schwarzenegger to superstardom, "Conan the Barbarian" (1982), directed by John Milius. Then they move on to talk about its sequel, "Conan the Destroyer" (1984), directed by Richard Fleischer. Finally they talk about the bastard red-headed step sister, also directed by Fleischer, "Red S...

After an early November break it's time for another Intermission episode. Lee briefly rambles about the highlights from his October 2024 31 Days of Horror list, as well as six movies he's watched recently. Lee's Letterboxd   Featured Music: "Blastfight (Seq 8)" by Fabio Frizzi & "Evening Star" by Tommie Babie.

The hairy stranger who is only a danger to your ear drums (but what sweet music he hurts you with!) Lee Van Teeth is back for the 2024 edition of his Halloween show, playing all the vampiric vibes and graveyard grooves you can handle, as well as Halloween commercials and horror film trailers. Let the last Wolfman of rock radio make your Halloween a rocking one! "Lee Van Teeth" -- Wolfbane Jane and...

Lee and Paul finish up their bonus shows for October by covering the somewhat forgotten sci-fi horror, and semi-remake of Tod Browning's "Freaks", "The Freakmaker" (1974), directed by Jack Cardiff and starring Donald Pleasence and Tom Baker. Don't forget to water your plant people, kids! "The Freakmaker" IMDB   Paul's YouTube Beer Reviews   PA Outdoors Couple   Featured Music: "Beware of the Flowe...

Lee is joined in this episode by guests Vaughn and Wick to cover two Euro-horror films. First off it's the stylish Giallo "Blood and Black Lace" (1964), directed by Mario Bava, and then they look at a mash-up of the old dark house film with the then emerging Euro trash horror boom, with Jean Brismée's "The Devil's Nightmare" (1971). The hosts also all talk about one thing they watched recently. Do...

Lee and Paul are far more sober this week as they bring some more October bonus content your way. This time out they have a short chat about an early Fred Olen Ray film, "The Alien Dead" (1980). "The Alien Dead" IMDB   Paul's YouTube Beer Reviews   PA Outdoors Couple   Featured Music: Excerpts from the score by Franklin Sledge and Chuck Summer.

Lee and guest host Wick check out Roy Ward Baker's "Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde" (1971), a Hammer production which marked the first gender-bending adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's famous story. The conversation jumps around from the excellent lead performances of Ralph Bates and Martine Beswick to how the film weaves in the Jack the Ripper and Burke and Hare stories, as well as if it actually...

Lee and Paul have some more drunken bonus content this week as they cover the unofficial Italian sequel to "Patrick", "Patrick Still Lives" (1980), directed by Mario Landi. How sleazy can the makers of this film get with the material? How amazed and shocked can the hosts become when talking about the beautiful women in this cast and the horrible things that happen to them in the film? Listen if yo...

Lee and Paul have a brief chat about Richard Franklin's "Patrick" (1978). It's a little drunken, it's a lot informal and unedited. Don't feel like you need to get out of your coma for it. Just spit at us a bit to let us know you care. "Patrick" IMDB   Paul's YouTube Beer Reviews.  PA Outdoors Couple.  Featured Music: "Patrick Pt. 3" by Goblin & "The Strobe" by Brian May.

This month, as we get closer to spooky season, Lee has crafted a quick and dirty playlist revolving around vampire films from the 1970s. Greats like Dracula, Yorga, Barlow, Blacula, and several other lesser known blood suckers are featured. Lee talks less than usual on this one, so you the listener gets to the music faster! The Wolfman Lee Van Teeth is taking over next month for his annual Hallowe...

Lee is joined by his friends and previous guests Nick Lowe and Greg Bielawski to cover Steven Spielberg's big budget adaptation of H.G. Wells' "War of the Worlds" (2005), starring Tom Cruise. They have a pretty good conversation about the film, its themes and imagery, and some of the various film and tv adaptations of the original story. Nick and Greg also talk about what they've watched as of lat...

Lee and Leah are joined by their friend Gary Hill from The Butcher Shop family of podcasts to talk about a fun little take on the typical serial killer film, and a neat twist on the final girl trope, in Travis Stevens' "A Wounded Fawn" (2022). The hosts also chat about what they've watched as of late. "A Wounded Fawn" IMDB   Check out Gary's Fleas and Flicks Auction here , and bid on some great it...

Another busy month equals another TMBDOS! Grab Bag episode of Blood on the Tracks! That's where Lee does the very lazy thing of building this episode's playlist from tracks found on official episodes of the They Must Be Destroyed On Site! podcast, and does very little talking about the music, if any at all. This playlist covers soundtrack and score selections found in various episodes between 265...

Lee gives a state of the podcast update, mentions other podcasts he's been on as of late, and then he goes over a few recent watches. Featured Music: "Bad Fog of Loneliness" by Neil Young & "Keep Moving On" by Bloodshot Bill.

This month Lee takes a look at music from films about possibly the world's most famous cryptid, the Sasquatch - or as it/they are better known in pop and general culture: Bigfoot. There are just so many films, especially in the last thirty years or so, that the list is focused on the real peak period of interest, the 1970s and 1980s. Even then this list threatened to be much larger than it ended u...

Lee closes out TMBDOS!'s tribute to the late Roger Corman by checking out his look into the world of LSD, "The Trip" (1967), with the help of friends and fellow podcasters Mike Wood and Vaughn Kuhlmeier. Written by Jack Nicholson, and starring Peter Fonda, Susan Strasberg, Bruce Dern & Dennis Hopper; does this snapshot of a very specific time and place in American culture still resonate today?...

This week Lee and Daniel are joined by friend and fellow podcaster Gary Hill to continue the Roger Corman tribute thread. This time they cover two very similar cheapies Corman and writer Charles B. Griffith came up with "A Bucket of Blood" (1959) & "The Little Shop of Horrors" (1960), which are two great examples of doing more with less. The economic film making of the Corman method; the great...

Lee and Daniel continue the Corman tribute this week by talking about one of the more stand-out films to be produced under his watch, that being Peter Bogdanovich's "Targets" (1968). Boris Karloff, playing a thinly-veiled version of himself contends with new Hollywood and (eventually) a mass shooter, as Bogdanovich tries to find a way to fit the Corman-mandated amount of footage from "The Terror"...

Lee is back to cover musical selections from the films in the later half of Roger Corman's directing career, between the years 1963 to 1990. --End Title from "The Raven" (1963) --Les Baxter --Main Theme from "The Haunted Palace" (1963) --Ronald Stein --Main Title Theme from "The Terror" (1963) --Ronald Stein --Prince Prospero & Prospero's Court from "The Masque of the Red Death" (1964) --David...

Lee, Leah and Daniel are continuing the podcast's Corman tribute by covering "The Terror" (1963). Under Corman's watch a lot of future greats had a part in the production of this patched-together gothic horror, starring a fresh-face Jack Nicholson, an elderly Boris Karloff, and "that guy" Dick Miller (who threatens to steal the whole movie at times!). Is it the janky mess all of those old public d...

Lee is joined this episode by his friend and fellow podcaster Cameron Scott to continue the podcast's extended look at Roger Corman-directed and produced films. This time out its two wildly different motorcycle films, the first being Corman's own "The Wild Angels" (1966), starring Peter Fonda, Nancy Sinatra, Bruce Dern and Diane Ladd as members of a violent, and unfortunately, quite rapey chapter...
