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!

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. Does Vaughn just hate movies? Tune in to find out!

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 intended any progressive message with its gender-switching story, of if it was all just an excuse to see Beswick fondle herself in the mirror while naked (spoilers: it was!). The hosts also talk about what they've watched lately. "Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde" IMDB  Check out Wick's art here.  Featured Music: "Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde Main Theme" by David Whitaker & "Under My Thumb" by Tina Turner.

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 you dare.

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 Halloween show, so catch you all again in November. --Attack in the Woods from "The Vampire Lovers" (1970) --Harry Robinson --Wings of Death from "Scars of Dracula" (1970) --James Bernard --Blue Doll Baroque & Blue Quadrant from "The Nude Vampire" (1970) --Yvon Gerault --Le Frisson Des Vampires & The Memory of Eternal Darkness from "The Shiver of of the Vampires" (1971) --Acanthus --Psycho Contract Nr.1 from "Vampyros Lesbos" (1971) --Vampire Sound Inc. --Amour Sur Les Rails & Les Lèvres Rouges from "Daughters of Darkness" (1971) --François de Roubaix --Yorga's Storm from "Count Yorga, Vampire" (1971) --Bill Marx --The Night Stalker Theme/Kolchak at the Scene/Showdown from "The Night Stalker" (1972) --Robert Cobert --Blacula Strikes! from "Blacula" (1972) --Gene Page --Opening Theme & Torment from "Scream, Blacula Scream" (1973) --Bill Marx --You Got to Learn to Let it Go from "Ganja & Hess" (1973) --Sam Waymon --The Dream from "Lust for a Vampire" (1974) --Harry Robertson --Main Titles from "Captain Kronos – Vampire Hunter" (1974) --Laurie Johnson --More Blood from "Blood for Dracula" (1974) --Claudio Gizzi --The Calling from "Martin" (1977) --Donald Rubinstein --And Now Straker & Ralph is Floating from "Salem's Lot" (1979) --Harry Sukman --Fascination from "Fascination" (1979) --Philippe D'Aram --Mantra II (Choir) from "Nosferatu the Vampire" (1979) --Popol Vuh Opening and closing music: Theme from Slaughter from "Slaughter" by Billy Preston, and Too Risky a Day for a Regatta from "Tentacles" by Stelvio Cipriani.

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 late.

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 and 314. Enjoy! --Self Destruction from "Predator" (1987) --Alan Silvestri (Episode 265) --Brainscan (Main Theme) from "Brainscan" (1994) --George S.

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 up being, but a lot of the music was impossible to source. Still, Lee feels this list is large enough to pay proper tribute to that mythical(?) hairy giant in the woods. --Main Theme from "Bigfoot" (1970) --Richard Podolor --The Legend of Boggy Creek from "The Legend of Boggy Creek" (1972) --Chuck Bryant & Earl E. Smith --Popcorn from "Shriek of the Mutilated" (1974) --Hot Butter --Ballad of McCullough's Mountain from "Blood Beast of Monster Mountain" (1975) --Tim York --Exits and Truckstops from "Creature from Black Lake" (1976) --Jim McCullough Jr. --High in the Mountains & Bigfoot Theme from "Sasquatch" (1976) --Lane Caudell & Al Capps --Suite from "Snowbeast" (1977) --Robert Prince --What's it Take to be a Believer from "In the Shadow of Big Foot" (1977) --Phillip Malbrough --Main Title from "Return to Boggy Creek" (1977) --Darrell Deck --Yeti from "Yeti: Giant of the 20th Century" (1977) --Sante Maria Romitelli feat.

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? Does it have anything deep to say or is it pure exploitation? Apart from the main film discussion there's a few wild asides, and the hosts also talk about what they've watched recently. Turn on, tune in, and drop out with us for an hour and a half.

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 greatness of Dick Miller, and many other things are touched upon. The host also talk about what they've watched as of late. Stay out of the beatnik coffee house and don't feed the plants until you've listened to this episode!

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" into the film where he can. Lots of talk about mass shooters and serial killers at the time, and just how deftly this whole thing is put together by Bogdanovich, directing his first real film. The hosts also talk about what they've watched as of late. NOTE: there are two or three ever-so-brief moments where Daniel's mic breaks up for a few seconds, but it does not really effect the conversation as a whole, which is really good one. "Targets" IMDB  Check out Daniel's episode of I Don't Speak German where he and his co-host Jack covered the Buffalo Shooter.  Featured Music: "Green Rocky Road" by The Daily Flash & "Don't Take Your Guns to Town" by Johnny Cash.

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 --Main Title & End Title from "The Tomb of Ligeia" (1964) --Kenneth Jones --End Credits from "The Man with the X-Ray Eyes" (1963) --Les Baxter --Theme from The Wild Angels from "The Wild Angels" (1966) --The Visitors --Blue's Theme; Bongo Party; & The Wild Angels Ballad (Dirge) from "The Wild Angels" (1966) --Davie Allen and The Arrows --Midnight Rider from "The Wild Angels" (1966) --The Hands of Time --A Little Head; Flash, Bam, Pow; & Gettin' Hard from "The Trip" (1967) --The Electric Flag --Main Title from "The St. Valentines Day Massacre" (1967) --Fred Steiner --Dance Party & Wild Racers Theme from "The Wild Racers" (1968) --The Sidewalk Sounds --Opening Titles from "Target Harry" (1969) --Les Baxter --Bloody Mama from "Bloody Mama" (1970) --Big Foot --Bubble Gum Girl from "Gas-s-s-s" (1970) --Johnny & The Tornados --This is the Beginning from "Gas-s-s-s" (1970) --Robert Corff --Deathsport from "Deathsport" (1978) --Andy Stein --Main Titles from "Frankenstein Unbound" (1990) --Carl Davis Opening and closing music: Main Title from "Battle Beyond the Stars" by James Horner, and Main Theme from "The Final Terror" by Susan Justin.

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 domain 50 movie DVD packs make us think it was, or did watching a fully restored version surprise the hosts expectations? Did this film somehow inspire a future great film that Nicholson was also the lead in? You're already visiting our decaying old castle by the sea, you might as well stay for a while and find out! "The Terror" IMDB  Watch "The Terror" for free on YouTube in HD.  Featured Music: "The Terror Main Title" by Ronald Stein & "There's Ghost in My House" by R. Dean Taylor.

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 of the Hells Angels. Then it's David Carradine and Claudia Jennings in the spiritual sequel to "Deathrace 2000", "Deathsport" (1978), directed by Allan Arkush, Nicholas Niciphor & Corman. Does a production so troubled as this film had equal a terrible finished product, or are there joys to be had with such a jumbled mess? Put on your helmet, hop on our future bikes, and find out!

Lee and Leah are joined by friends and fellow podcasters Matt (from Movie Melt) and Vaughn (from Motion Picture Massacre) to talk about the last film Roger Corman directed, 1990's "Frankenstein Unbound", an adaptation of Brian Aldiss' 1973 novel.

In this episode Lee pays tribute to the late Roger Corman by covering the soundtracks and scores of several of his directorial credits. In this first of a planed two-part series, the years 1957 to 1962 are looked at. --Main Title from "Attack of the Crab Monsters" (1957) --Ronald Stein --Main Title from "Not of this Earth" (1957) --Ronald Stein --The Creep from "Carnival Rock" (1957) --The Shadows --Rock All Night & Rock 'n' Roll Guitar from "Rock All Night" (1957) --The Blockbusters --Main Titles from "Teenage Doll" (1957) --Walter Greene --Main Title from "Sorority Girl" (1957) --Ronald Stein --Hurry from "War of the Satellites" (1958) --Walter Greene --Suite from "Viking Women and the Sea Serpent" (1958) --Albert Glasser --Main Title & End Title from "Machine Gun Kelly" (1958) --Gerald Fried --Folk Song from "I, Mobster" (1959) --Gerald Fried --Suite from "A Bucket of Blood" (1959) --Fred Katz --Main Title from "The Wasp Woman" (1959) --Fred Katz --Main Title from "The Little Shop of Horrors" (1960) --Fred Katz --Completely Insane & Madeline's Brother from "House of Usher" (1960) --Les Baxter --Creature from the Haunted Sea from "Creature from the Haunted Sea" (1961) --Fred Katz & Betsy Jones-Moreland --Main Title from "The Pit and the Pendulum" (1961) --Les Baxter --End Title from "Tales of Terror" (1962) --Les Baxter --Suite from "The Premature Burial" (1962) --Ronald Stein --Main Title from "The Intruder" (1962) --Herman Stein Opening and closing music: Main Title from "Battle Beyond the Stars" by James Horner, and Main Theme from "The Final Terror" by Susan Justin.

Lee and Daniel kick-off an extended series on films either directed by (or in some way overseen by) the late Roger Corman. This time out it's the somewhat shoddy, but fun alien invasion flick "It Conquered the World" (1956), staring Lee Van Cleef and a very game Beverly Garland. Then they tackle the biggest swing Corman had made towards a mainstream sci-fi picture, with his "Magnificent Seven" in space film "Battle Beyond the Stars" (1980). Lots of ground is covered in this one, so round up your posse of space mercs and get ready to fight mind-controlling pickles from Venus. "It Conquered the World" IMDB  "Battle Beyond the Stars" IMDB"  Daniel's other podcast, I Don't Speak German.  Featured Music: "Cowboy's Attack" & "Epilogue/End Title" by James Horner.

Lee is joined this episode by his friends Greg and Nick to cover Dario Argento's "Opera" (1987). Many seem to think this is the last great Argento film. Is it, or is it an illogical mess, where it's clear Argento had started to slip as a director? Do crows actually seek revenge? All of this and more, including what the hosts have watched as of late is covered. Also, as Nick is a first-time guest, he gets to play the Movie God Game. "Opera" IMDB  Catch us and others Wed nights, 8:30pm EST on BA101, reviewing beer.  Featured Music: "Opera" by Claudio Simonetti & "Knights of the Night" by Steel Grave.

In this Intermission episode Lee gives some thoughts on the legacy of the recently deceased king of B-movies Roger Corman. He also talks about what he's been watching recently, including the new horror film "Abigail". Lee's recent guest spot on The Grindbin Podcast.  Featured Music: "The Battle Begins" and "Main Title" from Battle Beyond the Stars, by James Horner.

Lee finally gets around to doing a follow-up to the very first episode of Blood on the Tracks: music from 1970s crime and thriller films. Lee was short for time this month, so that equals less talking from him and much more music. It's a win-win! --Suite from "Darker than Amber" (1970) --John Parker --Theme from The Anderson Tapes from "The Anderson Tapes" (1971) --Quincy Jones --Taxi in the Rain (Parish Priest; Eddies Dead) & Office Scuffle (Kenilworth Heist; Casino Heist) from "The Outfit" (1973) --Jerry Fielding --Main Theme from "Death Wish" (1974) --Herbie Hancock --In Seattle & Toms - Sea Chase from "McQ" (1974) --Elmer Bernstein --Dolowitz Gets Killed, Money Montage & Main Title from "The Taking of Pelham 123" (1974) --David Shire --Ripley's Games from "The American Friend" (1977) --Jürgen Knieper --Straight Time from "Straight Time" (1978) --David Shire Opening and closing music: Main Title from "Battle Beyond the Stars" by James Horner, and Main Theme from "The Final Terror" by Susan Justin.

There is no regular episode this time out, yet again, but Lee had time to talk about two films he screened for friends a couple of days previous to recording; those being Joe Dante's "The Howling (1981) & the Bruce Pittman-directed, in-name-only sequel to "Prom Night", "Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II" (1987). Featured Music: "Kiss of Death" by Issac Rother & The Phantoms, and "Wolf" by Guido & Maurizio De'Angelis.

In this episode Lee and Leah tackle an animated feature: the often funny, but ultimately pretty heavy and harrowing "Persepolis" (2007). This film, written and directed by Marjane Satrapi & Vincent Paronnaud, adapts Satrapi's striking graphic novel about her life growing up in Iran, and later France, in the wake of the Iranian Revolution. The hosts also talk about what they've watched as of late, including thoughts on the new "Fallout" tv series. "Persepolis" IMDB  Featured Music: "The Eye of the Tiger" by Chiara Mastroianni, and "Teheran Disco" & "Persepolis Theme" by Olivier Bernet.

So far it's been slow going for April on the podcast, so Lee decided to do a quick intermission episode covering his thoughts on three Italian genre films he recently screened for friends, and the new "Fallout" tv show that is now on Amazon Prime. Featured Music: "Sabata Theme #1" by Marcello Giombini & "My Name" by Bruno Nicolai.

Lee is back this month with a mix of music selections from Italian action films from the 1980s. There's some superhero antics, some comedic slapstick action, late period poliziotteschi, and items that fall under the "macaroni combat" moniker. The list is both light and breezy, and in some cases, maybe a bit tight and sleazy. Enjoy! --Seq. 2 & Seq. 10 from "Speed Driver" (1980) --Stelvio Cipriani --Seq. 14 from "The Rebel" (1980) --Stelvio Cipriani --Main Title from "Strike Commando" (1987) --Luigi Ceccarelli --Main Title from "Blastfighter" (1984) --Fabio Frizzi --What's Going on in Brazil (Jazz Band) from "Double Trouble" (1984) --Franco Micalizzi --Supersnooper from "Super Fuzz" (1980) --The Oceans --The Puma Man & Puma Man #7 from "The Pumaman" (1980) --Renato Serio --Transformation Version 2 & Starlights from "Endgame" (1983) --Carlo Maria Cordio --The Day of the Cobra from "The Day of the Cobra" (1980) --Paolo Vasile & Charlie Cannon Opening and closing music: Main Title from "Battle Beyond the Stars" by James Horner, and Main Theme from "The Final Terror" by Susan Justin.

Lee and Leah are joined in this episode by returning guest Robby Roberson, and new guest Wick, to cover a film Robby has wanted to get on the show for a while now, Stephen Frears "The Grifters" (1990). This neo noir starring John Cusack, Anjelica Huston, and Annette Bening takes some surprising twist and turns, and leads to a fun conversation. Also, the host talk about what they've watched recently, and Wick, as a new guest on the show, gets to play the Movie God Game.

TMBDOS! is back after a month off. Lee is joined by OG co-host Daniel Harper to cover Billy Wilder's "Ace in the Hole" (1951), starring Kirk Douglas. Sensationalist journalism; exploiting tragedy; mixing noir with the "human interest story", and much more is talked about. The hosts also cover what they've watched recently, including a dunking-on of "Oppenheimer".

Lee's back this month to cover more score/soundtrack selections from vanity projects. That's right - those special films made by special people with a special vision. Who cares if the films are actually good or not? These (mostly) outsider artists shot their shot, and in Lee's opinion, art is usually better for it. --One Tin Soldier from "Billy Jack" (1971) --Coven --Main Title Theme from "Top of the Heap" (1972) --J.J. Johnson --Opening Theme Song from "The Bad Bunch" (1973) --Ed Cobb & Sheldon Lee --Theme from Solomon King from "Solomon King" (1974) --J.

Lee is joined by friend and fellow podcaster Vaughn Kuhlmeier to talk about two early examples of what would come to be known as the Hixploitation genre, those being Russ Meyer's "Mudhoney" (1965), and Jerry Gross' "Girl on a Chain Gang (1966). Much of the conversation revolves around how both films contain the elements that the subgenre would build off of later on in the 1970s especially, and just how very different these two films are from one another in tone and style. Was Meyer too reserved? Was Gross not exploitive enough? The hosts also talk about what they've watched recently and respond to a listener comment.

This month Lee takes a look at selections from the scores from two notable 1970s Samurai exploitation film series, "Hanzo the Razor" & "Lone Wolf and Cub". Although a lot of traditional Japanese musical elements were used, more often than not, convention was thrown out the window. Fuzzed-out electric rock, jazz & funk all show up to spice-up these more Grindhouse-esque films, which are full of bloody violence, sex, and taboo subject matter. --Goyoukiba's Theme & Main Title from "Hanzo the Razor: Sword of Justice" (1972) --Kunihiko Murai --Main Title & The Villain - Shoubei Heijima from "Hanzo the Razor: The Snare" (1973) --Isao Tomita --Main Theme from "Hanzo the Razor: Who's Got the Gold?"

This week Lee and Leah keep open minds and open eyes as they talk about the tense thriller "Wait Until Dark" (1967), directed by Terence Young, and starring Audrey Hepburn & Alan Arkin. Does this slow burn of a film work for the hosts? Is it outdated in its depiction of a visually impaired person? Can Leah do anything without her glasses? Listen to find out! "Wait Until Dark" IMDB  Featured Music: "Come on Louie/The Doll" & "Main Title" by Henry Mancini.

Lee has decided to end off 2023 for Blood on the Tracks by returning to the subject of rejected/unused soundtracks and scores for films, with a small but very diverse playlist of material, as well as some excerpts from the scores that were used for each film, for comparison. --The Payback from "Hell up in Harlem" (1973) --James Brown --Shining Title Music; Greetings Ghosties; Danny; & A Ghost Piano from "The Shining" (1980) --Wendy Carlos & Rachel Elkind --Suite from "Streets of Fire" (1984) --James Horner --Suite from "Cyborg" (1989) --Tony Riparetti & Jim Saad Opening and closing music: Main Title from "Battle Beyond the Stars" by James Horner, and Main Theme from "The Final Terror" by Susan Justin.

Lee & Leah buddy-up for the final episode of 2023 to lay down the law with the Richard Rush-directed "Freebie and the Bean" (1974), starring Alan Arkin & James Caan. How well does this decidedly non-PC buddy cop comedy play in 2023? Does the humour hold up at all? Does the fact that it pretty much spawned what we all know as the buddy cop picture today earn it some brownie points? How about those crazy stunts? All of that is talked about and more after a longer-than-usual segment covering what the hosts have watched, where Lady Leah trashes Hallmark movies made in her town, and then gives a rather critical review of the Christmas classic "Die Hard". (NOTE: Lady Leah's audio has a very slight echo do to some technical problems we encountered while recording. It shouldn't ruin the listening experience for most, but we thought it should be mentioned.) "Freebie and the Bean" IMDB  Feature Music: "Hard Core Man" by Bobby Hart & "You & Me" by Dominic Frontiere & Bobby Hart.

The chances of getting a regular episode as of late has been slim-to-none, so Lee sat down and recorded an Intermission episode, talking about the lack of episodes and six recent watches. Featured Music: "Hooray for Santa Claus" by Roy Alfred and Milton Delugg & "R.O.T.O.R. Main Theme" by David Newman.

In this episode Lee picks some of his favourite music that's been featured in the feature length films of David Lynch, one of Lee's favourite directors. It's recommended you listen with a damn fine cup of coffee, and a steaming plate of garmonbozia --Digah's Stomp from "Eraserhead" (1977) --Fats Waller --In Heaven (Lady in the Radiator Song) from "Eraserhead" (1977) --Peter Ivers, David Lynch, Alan R. Splet & Fats Waller --The Elephant Man Theme & The Belgian Circus Episode from "The Elephant Man" (1980) --John Morris --Robot Fight from "Dune" (1984) --Toto --Main Title & Frank from "Blue Velvet" (1986) --Angelo Badalamenti --Honky Tonk Part 1 from "Blue Velvet" (1986) --Bill Doggett --In Dreams from "Blue Velvet" (1986) --Roy Orbison --Cool Cat Walk from "Wild at Heart" (1990) --Angelo Badalamenti & Kinny Landrum --Love Me Tender from "Wild at Heart" (1990) --Nicolas Cage --Wicked Game from "Wild at Heart" (1990) --Chris Isaak --Theme from "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me" (1992) -- Angelo Badalamenti --The Black Dog Runs at Night from "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me" (1992) --Thought Gang --The Pink Room from "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me" (1992) --David Lynch --Sycamore Trees from "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me" (1992) --Jimmy Scott --I'm Deranged from "Lost Highway" (1997) --David Bowie --This Magic Moment from "Lost Highway" (1997) --Lou Reed --Mr. Eddy's Theme 1 & 2 from "Lost Highway" (1997) --Barry Adamson --Country Theme & Alvin's Theme from "The Straight Story" (1999) --Angelo Badalamenti --Diner & Silencio from "Mulholland Drive" (2001) --Angelo Badalamenti --Llorando from "Mulholland Drive" (2001) --Rebekah Del Rio --Bring it on Home from "Mulholland Drive" (2001) --Sonny Boy Williamson II --Call from the Past & Ghost of Love from "Inland Empire" (2006) --David Lynch Opening and closing music: Main Title from "Battle Beyond the Stars" by James Horner, and Main Theme from "The Final Terror" by Susan Justin.

Lee and Leah are joined by Mike Murphy of the Movies in 30 Minutes podcast to cover the exploitation classic from director Jack Hill, "Switchblade Sisters" (1975). While the hosts try to keep it a mostly light and fun conversation they do dig into some of the more off-putting elements in the film, and some glaring story flaws. But does that matter all that much when you've got great girl gang action, stylized dialogue, and a spirited anti-authority attitude? Join our gang and find out! If you don't listen... it's going to turn out baaaaad! Check out Mike's podcast here. "Switchblade Sisters" IMDB  Featured Music: "High School Hellcats" by The Cramps and "Black Hearted Woman" by Medusa.

Lee and Leah celebrate episode 300 of the podcast by looking at a Canadian-made martial arts/sci-fi/comedy indie short, starring Leah herself! It's 2019's "Ghost Beaver Kick", written and directed by Stefan Phillips. Of course, Leah has a lot to say about this one, providing a lot of background info on the production and the experience of working on the film. Maple syrup, pancakes, cyborgs, ninjas, mutants, scale models of the Avro Arrow, and ski-doo action scenes are just a few of the things talked about in this one. Lee also talks about what he's watched recently, and responds to listener comments. It's cold out there, folks, and there's ninjas looking to do us harm, so put on your toque, and grab some pancakes to go. We've got a world to save! "Ghost Beaver Kick" IMDB  Watch "Ghost Beaver Kick" on YouTube or Vimeo.   Featured Music: "Book Worm" by David Dino White & "Helpless" by Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds.

Lee and Leah push their kinks to the limit as they talk about the odd-ball semi-thriller/drama about, grief, kinky sex, and self-discovery, "Dogs Don't Wear Pants" (2019), directed by J.P. Valkeapää. A lot of the conversation revolves around the psychology behind the characters and if the film's themes of BDSM are exploitation, or if the film takes a respectful look at the BDSM culture. Asides about piercings and chipped teeth, and what the hosts have watched recently are also brought up. Check out Lee's guest spot on a recent episode of Motion Picture Massacre.  Check out Lee's guest spot on a recent episode of Movie Melt.  "Dogs Don't Wear Pants" IMDB  Featured Music: "Take a Chance" by Mr. Flagio & "Breathless" by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds.

The last real Wolf Man of rock is back for 2023. That's right, it's your old friend Lee Van Teeth, scratching and biting up a playlist of ghoulish Halloween delights for all you trickers and treaters out there. It's two hours of rocking horror power, far too sweet to be sour. So why won't you just open wide and suck on it already? "I'm the Wolf Man" -- Round Robin "Haunted House" -- Madmen "Jam at the Mortuary" -- Griz Green "Zombie Walk" -- The Magics "Black Magic" -- Jericho Jones "Laughing Over My Grave" -- Ray Stevens "The Boogie Man" -- The Cadillacs "The Creeper " -- Jerry Wald "Baba Yaga" -- Pagans "Vampire" -- The Crystals "Evil Eye" -- Al Saxon "The Thing" -- Curtis & The Creepers "Witch Girl" -- The Mystrys "What Kind of Ghoul Am I" -- Frankie Stein And His Ghouls "Lucifer" -- Dies Irae "House of Wax" -- Isaac Rother & The Phantoms "Halloween" -- Isaac Rother & The Phantoms "Haunted Castle" -- Isaac Rother & The Phantoms "Crystal Ball Baby" -- Isaac Rother & The Phantoms "Nightmare" -- The Abstracts "The Guillotine" -- The Executioners "I Have Always Been Here Before" -- Roky Erickson "Ghost Rider" -- Suicide "The Invasion is Coming" -- The Invasion "Shadows in the Night" -- Quests "Spooky" -- George Barnes "Giallo in Tensione" -- Daniele Patucchi "Sleepy Hollow" -- Last Word "Séance" -- The Ebb-Tides "The Night Stalker" -- Teddy Durant "Horror Hotel" -- The Misfits "Devil's Whorehouse" -- The Misfits "You Must be a Witch" -- The Lollipop Shoppe "I'm a Living Sickness" -- The Calico Wall "He's Back (The Man Behind the Mask)" -- Alice Cooper "Cry Little Sister" -- Gerard McMann  

Lee and Paul have a big drunken Halloween episode as they talk about the last two Christopher Lee/Peter Cushing Dracula films for Hammer studios, "Dracula A.D. 1972" (1972) & "The Satanic Rites of Dracula" (1973), directed by Alan Gibson. Have these films been unfairly maligned? The hosts try their best to break down the good and the bad as fairly as possible, discussing if these attempts by Hammer to play catch-up with the evolving horror market may have worked better if they had tried a few years earlier, or if they were always doomed to fail. Lee also talks about a couple of films he's recently watched. "Dracula A.D. 1972" IMDB  "The Satanic Rites of Dracula" IMDB  Paul's Links: Maniacs Meat Podcast  PA Outdoors Couple  PA Brew News  Paul's Paintings  Featured Music: "Main Theme: Dracula A.D. 1972" by Michael Vickers; "Hansen's Debriefing" & "The Satanic Rites of Dracula Main Title" by John Cacavas.

Lee and Paul are back for another bonus episode, this time covering Umberto Lenzi's (maybe) spring break slasher film "Nightmare Beach" (1989), featuring John Saxon and Michael Parks. Who actually directed it? Does a mash-up of 1980s sex comedy and 1980s slasher work? All this and more, so why not hitch a ride on our electric motorcycle? "Nightmare Beach" IMDB  Featured Music: "Running on the Beach" by Claudio Simonetti.

Lee and Paul have a talk about a classic slasher shot in Lee's home province of Nova Scotia, "My Bloody Valentine" (1981), directed by George Mihalka. Much of the talk revolves around the restored gore scenes that were cut from the original release, how this film speaks to both Lee and Paul as Canadian and American East coast boys respectively, and the small town East coast economic realities the film may or may not be directly commenting on. And, of course, there's just a lot of geeking-out about how good a slasher it is in general. You could say they mined a lot from this one. Get it? They dug deep? Okay, we'll see ourselves out. "My Bloody Valentine" IMDB  Featured Music: "The Ballad of Harry Warden" by John McDermott.

Lee and Leah are feeling a little crazed towards each other this week as they butt heads while talking about David Cronenberg's "Rabid" (1977), starring Marilyn Chambers. The talk centers around how effective the movie executes its premise, the parallels between what the film shows happening, marshal law in Canada during the 1970 October Crisis, and what happened during the Covid-19 lockdown. The listeners also talk about what they've watched as of late. So come in real tight with us for a hug, won't you listener? Just be careful around the stingers in our armpit pussies! "Rabid" IMDB  Featured Music: "Vulcain" by Claude Vasori & 'Benihana" by Marilyn Chambers.
