They Must Be Destroyed On Sight!

Lee is kicking off October with Paul, Nick and Greg with the first part in a casual roundtable discussion on the "Halloween" film franchise. In part one they talk about the first three films, sharing what they liked and didn't like about the films, and what their favourite kill was for each. There might even be a few new original takes here and there (but don't count on it). Lee also read a listen...

In this episode, before Lee takes a break for month and hands the DJ duties over to Lee Van Teeth for his October Halloween show, he's put together the first playlist in a what will be a series on the show for the rest of the year: music from cyberpunk films. But to get to the true cyberpunk picks, Lee wanted to set the tone a bit with tracks from some of the proto-cyberpunk frilms that would help...

Lee & Daniel are joined by Gary Hill to pay tribute to two singular talents who have recently left us, Dolly Parton and Tim Curry.

Lee and Daniel talk about some very late period classic noir this week, as they examine André De Toth's "Crime Wave" (1954). Does the classic noir police procedural elements butt heads with the more realistic approach to the story-telling? Is the short runtime quality over quantity? Are all cops bastards? Why does this Charles Buchinsky fella look familiar? All this and more, including what the ho...

Lee's back after the massive 100th show with a smaller playlist consisting of two music selections each from some of his 2026 summer film watching. --Tecnica di un Omicidio (Titoli) & Clint in Fuga from "Professional Killer" (1966) --Robby Poitevin --Rolling Home to Rosie from "Summer Night Fever" (1978) --Curtis Corporation --Baker Street from "Summer Night Fever" (1978) --Gerry Rafferty --Se...

Lee & Daniel are joined by returning guests Robby and Wick to talk about Robert Rossen's "The Hustler" (1961), and Martin Scorsese's sequel "The Color of Money" (1986). The hosts go pretty in-depth with their thoughts on these two sports films, discussing the characters and the overall themes, and just how well they stack up against each other at the end of the day. They also speculate on how...

Lee and Daniel are joined by guests Vaughn and Bobby to pry into the mysteries of Fritz Lang's final film, "The Thousand Eyes of Dr. Mabuse" (1960). How did Lang do in his last film? Had he lost a step or was he way ahead of his time? What sort of influence, if any, did this have on the soon-to-come Bond series and the contemporary Krimi genre? The hosts also talk about what they've watched recent...

It's the big 100th episode of Blood on the Tracks! Lee celebrates with a playlist of soundtrack and score material from some of his favourite films ever - we're talking the stuff he rates 5 stars on his Letterboxd account, so you know it's the best of the best. Probably. At any rate, there some old favourites that have popped up on the show over the years, and a bunch of new stuff to the show. Sit...

Lee and Daniel are joined by new guest Erin, from the Manic Movie Monday Podcast, to cover the Robert Veze-directed sex comedy "Bikini Summer" (1991), from PM Entertainment. As this is a film Erin grew up with, we get into a pretty deep dive into some of its cast, and its place in the exploding direct-to-video & made-for-cable sex comedy market (as well as just softcore and hardcore porn in ge...

Lee and Daniel attempt to discover the clues of the third and latest Rian Johnson "Knives Out" film, "Wake Up Dead Man" (2025). Locked-room mysteries, religion, and acid baths are just a couple of things brought up in this one. The hosts also talk about what they've watched as of late. Watch out for possible Knife Robots, and help us solve this one! "Wake Up Dead Man" IMDB   Lee's latest episode o...

Some real life got in the way of doing a regular episode this past weekend, so Lee is back with an Intermission episode, covering what's happening on the podcast, where else Lee has been podcasting as of late, and then he briefly talks about five recent film watches, including new films like "Lee Cronin’s The Mummy" & "Citizen Vigilante". Gary Hill's Butcher Shop feed , where the Last Call at...

Lady Leah returns (again!) to bring Lee and Daniel another pick for Pride month. This time out it's a film all about the subject at hand: Matthew Warchus' "Pride" (2014). How does this somewhat light-heated take on the real life queer-supported miner's strike in 1980s Britian play out? The hosts also chat about what they've watched recently. So come on, jump into our awesome little gay van, we've...

In this Pride month-themed episode, Lee, Daniel, Gary Hill, and the returning Lady Leah (!), talk about the tragic Chinese epic "Farewell My Concubine" (1993), directed by Kaige Chen. The hosts try their best to talk about the themes of abuse, sex, and gender (and a bit of regular politics) revolving around a half-a-century-spanning historical drama from a culture they have very little knowledge o...

Lee is back with part two of his two-part look at the soundtracks and scores of sex comedy films from the 1990s. What treasures did he uncover between 1995 and 1999?

Lee and Daniel are joined by Robby and Wick to talk about another existential road film from the 1970s, with Monte Hellman's "Two-Lane Blacktop" (1971), starring James Taylor, Dennis Wilson, Laurie Bird, and the great Warren Oates. What's this stripped-down minimalist gearhead/road movie all about anyway? The hosts have ideas! Lee also talks about some recent watches. So just slip into the backsea...

Lee is joined by Daeron Wilson to talk about two films from 1987 that seemingly destroyed Alex Cox's mainstream credibility. First up it's the crazed, surreal, punk rock spaghetti western parody "Straight to Hell"; then they turn their attention to a bio picture unlike any other: "Walker". Were these movies the pieces of garbage most critics seemed to think they were back then, or was Alex Cox jus...

The weather is getting warmer, so Lee is in the mood for some sex comedies, the raunchier the better! This month he's got part one of a two-part look at music from sex comedies from the 1990s. This episode covers a ton of music from those films featuring bouncing bewbs, butts, and beer-swilling idiots, that he could source from between the years 1990 to 1994. --Hole in One & Can't Get Much Clo...

Lee and Daniel are joined this week by returning guests Wick and Robby to talk about the 1970s car chase film that defined the genre, "Vanishing Point" (1971), directed by Richard C. Sarafian. The hosts talk about its impact on chase movies, and how decidedly different it is from a lot of the ones that followed, bringing up the amazing stunt work and deeper themes it touches upon. Lee and Wick als...

Lee and Daniel are joined by returning guest Cameron Sullivan to continue their look into post-Tarantino (and frankly, at this point, post-Ritchie) crime films, with Joe Carnahan's "Smokin' Aces" (2006).

"Smokin' Aces" IMDB   Skip Intro's video "Yellowstone is so much worse than you think...

Lee and Daniel continue to pull on the post-Tarantino thread by checking out Paul McGuigan's "Lucky Number Slevin" (2006). This twist-heavy crime picture, featuring the talents of Josh Hartnett, Lucy Liu, Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, and Ben Kingsley, just to name a few, has to be good right? RIGHT?? Lee also talks about some recent watches. "Lucky Number Slevin" IMDB   Lee on Bluesky , Instagram...

Lee and Daniel tug a bit more on the post-Tarantino thread with Doug Liman's "Go" (1999), which features a stellar cast of up-and-comers, and all the "Pulp Fiction" riffing you could hope for. But is it any good? The hosts also talk about what they've watched as of late. Helps us rip-off a low-level drug dealer and party at a late-90s rave, or you could just be lame and pick up another shift at th...

Lee is joined by special guests hosts Ricky Morgan and Gary Hill to blast off to planet Mongo and talk about "Flash Gordon" (1980), directed by Mike Hodges.

Now, get your wings warmed up and help us at...
