Lee, Leah, and returning guest host Vaughn, cover a little-talked about Bud Spencer film he did with the kid from "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", Cary Guffey. The film in question is "The Sheriff and the Satellite Kid" (1979), directed by Michele Lupo. The conversation mostly revolves around how Spencer fares separated from his usual co-star Terrence Hill, and if putting him into a family film works with his brand of gags and action; if Cary Guffey is any good; that shadowy government organization known as the Coast Guard; executing a young child; the amazing grocery store fight; and the catchy theme from Oliver Onions, just to name a few things. Also, the host correct a mistake from the last episode and talk about what they've watched as of late. Hey, if you're stuck on Earth for a bit, why not give us a listen? "The Sheriff and the Satellite Kid" IMDB  Vaughn's excellent podcast.  Featured Music: "Whistle and Bells" & "Sheriff" by Oliver Onions.

Lee got busy this month and comes back with a bit of an easier show to do. This month he's back with another playlist compiled from a handful of recent horror watches that he's enjoyed. --Main Title; The Living Dead & The Relic Ship/Aboard the Relic Ship from "Planet of the Vampires" (1965) --Gino Marinuzzi, Jr. --Track 2 from "The Freakmaker" (1974) --Basil Kirchin --Goodbye Eddie, Goodbye & Somebody Super Like You from "Phantom of the Paradise" (1974) --Paul Williams (Performed by Jeffrey Comanor, Archie Hahn and Peter Elbling as The Juicy Fruits & The Undead) --Faust & The Hell of It from "Phantom of the Paradise" (1974) --Paul Williams --Main Theme from "Blue Sunshine" (1978) --Charles Gross --Opening Titles from "House" (1986) --Harry Manfredini --Opening Theme from "I Come in Peace" (1990) --Jan Hammer --Oui, Oui, Marie from "X" (2022) --Chelsea Wolfe Opening and closing music: Magic and Ecstasy from "Exorcist II: The Heretic" by Ennio Morricone, and The Shadow of the Killer from "Death Rage" by Guido & Maurizio De Angelis.

Lee and Leah are back to cover the Paul Bartel written and directed "Eating Raoul" (1982). Many asides come up this week when the hosts are not gushing over the amazing chemistry of Paul Bartel and Mary Woronov. Some things brought up include the depictions of rape in the film; comparing this film's style to John Waters' style, and how Waters' would have done this differently even though the subject matter is very similar to his films; the twisted moral values of the Blands; the lack of a strong counterparts to our protagonists in a political sense; the depictions of sex work in the film; how sexy Mary Woronov was; some of the funny gags; proper use of a dildo in one's asshole, and much more. Also: what the hosts have watched recently and they play a round of the IMDB Ratings game.

Lee and Leah are joined by friend and fellow podcaster Gary Hill, and their other friend Kerry to talk about the movie that is the source from which all other movies spring: Jim Wynorski's classic b-movie "Chopping Mall" (1986). How much chopping actually happens? What's a better title for it? Does anything in this film make any bloody sense, and does that actually matter? Other talk revolves around Dick Miller; A fun cameo by the Blands from "Eating Raoul"; women turning down oral sex; and if you would care about your friends and loved ones as little as the characters in this movie do, if you were in a slasher movie in real life. Also: a ton of listener comments and what the hosts have watched as of late. If you decide to listen, thank you, and have a nice day.

Lee and Leah are joined this week by two special guests, friends and fellow podcasters Gary Hill & Vaughn Kuhlmeier, to talk about the sprawling animated drama by Ralph Bakshi, "American Pop" (1981). The discussion circles around the rotoscoped animation, the music, and the nuanced themes coming out of the over-arching tragedy, including the addiction and mental health issues the protagonists face. The hosts also talk about recent watches and respond to a couple of listener comments.

Since film first began to have music accompanying it, be it played live in a theatre during the screening of a silent film, or just being part of the soundtrack of the film itself, as we are all familiar with today, scores have been written, recorded, and then thrown away, usually by directors and producers, for various reasons. This week Lee has decided to set foot on the tip of the iceberg that is unused film scores. He anticipates many more episodes on this topic to come in the future. --The Foraging & The Dawn of Man from "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968) --Alex North; Conducted by Jerry Goldsmith --Main Titles from "Chinatown" (1969) --Phillip Lambro --Suite & Rock Ballad from "The Exorcist" (1973) --Lalo Schifrin --Into the Jungle; Delta & Orange Light from "Apocalypse Now" (1979) --David Shire --The Morgue from "Wolfen" (1981) --Craig Safan --Main Titles from "Something Wicked this Way Comes" (1983) --Georges Delerue --Hellraiser Theme; The Hellbound Heart & Box Theme from "Hellraiser" (1987) --Coil Opening and closing music: Magic and Ecstasy from "Exorcist II: The Heretic" by Ennio Morricone, and The Shadow of the Killer from "Death Rage" by Guido & Maurizio De Angelis.

Lee is flying solo this week on TMBDOS! with an Intermission episode. Lee has watched a bunch of stuff in the last little while, so he's got seven mini-reviews to share with the listeners. Also, a "fan" of TMBDOS! sent in a voicemail, so Lee plays and responds to it live on the show. Movies reviewed: "Planet of the Vampires" (1965), directed by Mario Bava "The Mutations" (1974), directed by Jack Cardiff "The Shark Hunter" (1979), directed by Enzo G.

Lee and Leah are teasing their cinematic sweet tooth this week when they bite into the sexy thriller "Sugar Cookies" (1973), directed by Theodore Gershuny, and co-written by future head of Troma, Lloyd Kaufman. Does this otherwise low-budget and poorly-made film have anything to offer other than the lovely nude bodies of the stars Mary Woronov and Lynn Lowry? Is this the progenitor of the sexy thrillers we'd see twenty years later on late night cable and direct-to-video VHS? Is it deserving of the "X" rating it originally got? Who the fuck is "Gus" and why the hell are we following him out of nowhere? Also, Leah has some rants this week and the host respond to comments (including one that's critical of one of our episodes) and talk about what they've watches as of late. "Sugar Cookies" IMDB  Featured Music: "All American Boy" by Gershon Kingsley and "Sally, Go 'Round the Roses" by The Jaynetts.

This month Lee takes a casual look into one of his favourite musical artists who often composed scores for film. That would be Florian Fricke, the leader and central creative force behind the musical collective known as Popol Vuh. Popol Vuh created music both in the studio for their own releases and to score several films, most notably in collaboration with prolific film maker Werner Herzog. In this episode Lee plays some of his favourite tracks from those collaborations with Herzog (at least from the ones he could source). To spare you Lee's terrible pronunciations of German titles, he does none of the usual intros to the tracks this episode, and reserves his general comments to the opening of the show. --Aguirre I (l'acrime di rei & Flöte); Morgengruss II; & Agnus Dei from "Aguirre, the Wrath of God" (1972) --Tracks 1 & 4 from "The Great Ecstasy of the Woodcarver Steiner" (1975) --Engel Der Gegenwart & Hüter Der Schwelle from "Heart of Glass" (1976) --Brüder Des Schattens; Mantra 2; & Die Nacht Der Himmel from "Nosferatu the Vampyre" (1979) --Wehe Khorazin & Im Garten der Gemeinschaft from "Fitzcarraldo" (1982) --Der Tod des Cobra Verde from "Cobra Verde" (1988) Opening and closing music: Magic and Ecstasy from "Exorcist II: The Heretic" by Ennio Morricone, and The Shadow of the Killer from "Death Rage" by Guido & Maurizio De Angelis.

This week Lee and Leah each bring a musical that they love to the show, that the other host has not seen before, and compare and contrast. Lee brings 1979's "Rock 'n' Roll High School", starring PJ Soles and his favourite rock band of all time, The Ramones! Leah beings the over-the-top Baz Luhrmann-directed "Moulin Rouge!" (2001), featuring a young Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman being really hot. What did each host think of the other's pick? Were the Ramones good actors? What were high school dress codes like in the 1980s? Is "Rock 'n' Roll High School" just a big Ramones commercial? Is it a secret vansploitation film? Leah rants about how high school should not define your life. Does "Moulin Rouge!"'s use of modern pop music work? Is Ewan McGregor much of a hero in the film? All of this and much more, including a ton of listener comments. Hey baby won't you take a chance? Join us in the Moulin Rouge and let us have this dance! Catch Lee's appearance on Vaughn's Motion Picture Massacre podcast. "Rock 'n' Roll High School" IMDB  "Moulin Rouge!"

Leah and Lee learn of the dangers of mixing greed and horniness in the old west, as they talk about Paul Bartel's "Lust in the Dust" (1985). Lots of talk about Divine and where they were in their career at this point, and their overall influence; the interesting cast and their dedication to this material; the musical numbers; stunt nudity; dangerous oral sex; and a very explicit lap dance on Henry Silva's corpse, among other topics. Also, and extend bit on what the hosts were watching, as Leah has some thoughts about a movie she recently watched; and also she was having some mechanical problems with her alcoholic beverages during the recording. Come get lusty and dusty with us!

Lee, Leah, and returning OG host Daniel take a look at an all-time classic gangster movie this time out with Martin Scorsese's "Goodfellas" (1990). The conversation revolves around where Scorsese was career-wise at this point; the ages of the actors compared to the ages of their real-life counterparts; brilliant performances; brilliant shots; violence; pasta sauce; the realities of the wiseguy lifestyle; wigs; and just what a flipper disc was, among a lot of other topics. Also, the hosts play another round of the IMDB Stattogories game and talk about what they've watched recently. Now, grab your fucking shine box and give us a listen.

Lee and Leah return this week to cover a listener request. This time out it is a film featuring thinly-veiled fictionalized versions of David Bowie and Iggy Pop (and some Lou Reed) in the height of the Glam Rock era of the 1970s - told in the same fashion as a certain specific Orson Welles film - the Todd Haynes written-and-directed-"Velvet Goldmine" (1998). The conversation focuses around the look of the film and the performances; if the way the story is told is effective; the LGBTQ representation; Ewan McGregor's cock and balls; and collecting albums back in the day, to just name a few topics. Lee also introduces Leah to a fun new movie-related game that will pop up on the show again in the future, and they play a few rounds of it. So put on your shiny jumpsuit, throw on some glitter, and come rock with us for a while, why don't you?

Lee returns to finish off his look at the music from the films of Amicus Productions. The material covered here comes from their peak and rapid decline. While the films may have started to lower in quality by the mid-1970s, it can be argued that the scores and soundtracks were still top notch. Listen in, and Lee believes you'll agree with him. --Toccata & Fugue in D Minor from "Tales from the Crypt" (1972) --Johann Sebastian Bach; adapted by Douglas Gamley --Night on Bald Mountain and excerpt from Pictures at an Exhibition II: Gnomus from "Asylum" (1972) --Modest Mussorgsky; adapted by Douglas Gamley --Main Title and Suite from "The Vault of Horror" (1973) --Douglas Gamley --Suite from "And Now the Screaming Starts!"

This week Lee and Leah and joined by their friend and fellow podcaster Gary Hill to talk about the underseen "Out of the Dark" (1988), directed by Michael Schroeder, and featuring a bunch of "that guy" character actors getting a chance to strut their stuff. Does this late-period slasher film about a deranged john in a clown mask, stalking the phone sex workers he harasses, have anything worth talking about when the genre itself was all but dead at that point? Other topics brought up: phone sex lines; commercials for phone sex lines; late night commercials in general, and how television just went off the air back in the day; Paul Bartel in a bad wig; and Divine's last role. The hosts also talk about what they've watched recently. So, pick up the phone, because we're ready to have a good time with you.

Lee continues his extended look into the scores and soundtracks of Amicus Productions. This episode covers the middle years, as horror becomes the primary focus, along with a few strange asides.

This week the podcast returns to John Waters as Lee and Leah cover his first and only PG-rated film, "Hairspray" (1988). Does this switch to a more professional and toned-down style hurt Waters' message, or does it just force him to be more creative about how to continue to be over-the-top and subversive in a mainstream production? How does the 2007 adaptation of the "Hairspray" musical match-up? How bloody great was Divine in her final film with Waters? How good was Ricki Lake in her first big role? How do elements of this film connect to an old PSA star Sonny Bono was in? Ric Ocasek and Pia Zadora as beatniks? A lot of the conversation also hits on Drag culture and Divine being a Drag icon still to this day. The hosts also talk about what they've watched as of late. No matter if your a hair-hopper or a weed-smoking beatnik, you're welcome to get naked with us and come listen! "Hairspray" IMDB  Featured Music: "Mama Didn't Lie" by Jan Bradley & "Hairspray" by Rachel Sweet.

Lee, Leah, and special guest Gary Hill try to sweep up some trash this week as they cover the Jerry Springer-centric "Ringmaster" (1998), directed by Neil Abramson. Is there anything worth talking about in this ill-advised cinematic celebration of the lowest common denominator in society? Is Springer any good playing himself? Lots of asides abound, including a lengthy listener comment from fellow podcaster and friend, Vaughn Kuhlmeier, who manages to predict most of what we had to say about the movie. The hosts also talk about what they've watched as of late. Till next time, take care of yourselves and each other! Check out Gary's various podcasts here.  "Ringmaster" IMDB Featured Music: "TV Party" by Black Flag & "Dr. Talk" by Jerry Springer.

Lee and Leah are joined by two special guests in this episode. Mike and Bobby from The Grindbin Podcast stop by to help dig into the late-period, existential Franco Nero Spaghetti Western "Keoma", directed by Enzo G. Castellari. Things brought up: Is this the last great pasta cowboy picture? "Coolman Keoma"; Why is Jared Leto in this?; Who is the worst Italian on the episode - Leah or Mike?; Lee is old; Italian Donald Sutherland; Keoma is kind of an asshole; and yes, the soundtrack is definitely talked about.

Much of the talk revolves around how cool and badass the three leads are, comic book neo-nazis, the action and stunts, and the surprising addition of three topless and sweaty dominatrix torturers at one point! The hosts also talk about what they've watched lately, including the latest "Texas Chainsaw" and "Batman" films. You can listen to this episode the easy way or the hard way. You decide!

It's time for another multi-part series on Blood on the Tracks. This time out Lee is covering the filmography of Amicus Productions, who were most famous for their excellent horror anthology films in the 1960s and 1970s. But they did so much more, and Lee is going to explore their output through the music that was featured in their films. --Spaceship to Mars from "It's Trad, Dad!"

Due to some time constraints this month Lee's back with a slightly shorter show than usual. This time out he's compiled an addendum to the previous episode, which was about fictional bands and solo artists featured in films. This list was all taken from the list of tracks he had to cut from the original over-stuffed track list for that episode. He felt these were all too good to ignore. --Lunar Madness from "Vicious Lips" (1986) --Vicious Lips (Sue Saad and the Next) --Touch Me, I'm Dick from "Singles" (1992) --Citizen Dick (Pearl Jam) --Wie Glauben/Techno Pop from "The Big Lebowski" (1998) --Autobahn (Carter Burwell) --Love Comes and Goes from "Almost Famous" (2000) --Stillwater (Nancy Wilson, Cameron Crowe, Peter Frampton, Marti Frederiksen, & Mike McCready) --Old Joe's Place from "A Mighty Wind" (2003) --The Folksmen (Harry Shearer, Christopher Guest, & Michael McKean) --Sitting in a Car & My Friend (You Cunt) from "Brother of the Head" (2005) --The Bang-Bang (Luke Treadaway, Harry Treadaway & Clive Langer) --Uh-Huh & Yes Man from "Yes Man" (2008) --Munchausen by Proxy (Zooey Deschanel & Von Iva) --We Are Sex Bob-Omb & Summertime from "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" (2010) --Sex Bob-Omb (Michael Cera, Mark Webber, Alison Pill, Beck Hanson) Opening and closing music: Magic and Ecstasy from "Exorcist II: The Heretic" by Ennio Morricone, and The Shadow of the Killer from "Death Rage" by Guido & Maurizio De Angelis.

Leah and Leah are back for an Intermission episode to cover a lesser-known slasher film from 1982, the David Nelson-directed "Death Screams". Is this rural slasher, full to the brim with red herrings and extended sequences at a county fair, one rightfully forgotten, or is it a hidden gem? The hosts go back and forth weighing the good and the bad, including the quality of the respective versions of the film they each watched. Come listen, just don't lose your head over it! "Death Screams" IMDB  Featured Music: "Main Theme" by Dee Barton.

Lee and Leah are back to gush over a film they love. This week they look at 2015's post-apocalyptic love letter and send-up "Turbo Kid", written and directed by the trio of François Simard, Anouk & Yoann-Karl Whissell. Topics discussed include comparisons to "Mad Max" and other similar films, as well as the "Fallout" video game series; if the film uses it's 1980s aesthetic too much or just right; the over-the-top practical effects work; and if the character of Apple is a manic pixie dream girl or not. The hosts also talk about what they've watched as of late. Cover your eyes, throat and genitals, and take a listen! "Turbo Kid" IMDB  Check out Leah in "Ghost Beaver Kick".

The cursed year that was 2021 has come to an end and Lee felt like going out on a more positive note. In this mega-sized episode he's compiled a list of tracks from fictional bands and musical artists that have appeared in films. Lots of research went into this one, as Lee tries to give credit where credit is due to the people behind the fictional acts. Be it totally made up acts, parody acts that came before their film debuts, or if they actually formed later on in real life, Lee tries to cover a little of everything.

Lee & Paul are back together to cover the Z-grade sci-fi film "The Astounding She-Monster" (1957), directed by Ronald V. Ashcroft. This semi-forgotten, low-budget shlock about a sexy radioactive space alien has some interesting aspects to it, including the possibility of the titular star, Shirley Kilpatrick, faking her death to make a better film career for herself as Shirley Stoler! Don't touch this podcast, just listen to it at a safe distance! The Astounding She-Monster IMDB  Featured Music: "Radioactive Mama" by Sheldon Allman & "My Girl is Like Uramium" by The Radium Cats.

This week Daniel returns (!) to join Lee as they welcome friend and fellow podcaster Bo Ransdell, in order to have a quite meaty conversation about Phil Alden Robinson's "Sneakers" (1992), starring Robert Redford & Ben Kingsley. Things covered: old school hacking talk, and what the film gets right and wrong about it; the wonderful ensemble cast elevating the material; the politics behind the film; the comparisons to the 1970s paranoid thrillers this film draws from; the still-unmade tv series, and if that would even be a good idea to do, especially today. Also, Bo gets to play The Movie God Game, and Lee and Bo talk about what they've watched lately. Listen to this one by planting a bug, spying with a camera, or patching into a satellite. We don't care how you listen, just that you do! "Sneakers" IMDB  Check out a ton of great podcasts, including all of Bo's, at Legion Podcasts.  Check out Daniel's other podcast I Don't Speak German, and support him on Patreon for even more content.  Featured Music: "The Girl from Ipanema" by Charlie Byrd & "Main Title" by James Horner.

In this latest Intermission episode Lee and Leah are back together to talk about one of the first (if not the actual first) atomic monster films from the 1950s, "The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms" (1953), directed by Eugène Lourié. Much of the conversation revolves around the fantastic Ray Harryhausen special effects work and if the rest of the movie manages to live up to that. How is this both not based on a Ray Bradbury story, but kind of is at the same time? What the hell is Lee Van Cleef doing here? Why does Leah's cat keep butting in on the recording? All this and more. Listen before the Rhedosaurus destroys the podcast like it was some lighthouse or a diving bell! "The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms" IMDB.  Featured Music: "Main Title" & "Monster Does Manhatten" by David Buttolph.

In this episode Lee takes a slightly different route.

In this episode Lee is joined by special guest, friend and fellow podcaster, Brady Kimball, to cover Paul Schrader's intimate and innovative docudrama of the influential Japanese writer Yukio Mishima, whose art and life became one on the day he ended it. The film, "Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters (1985)", is a meaty film to pick at, and the hosts try their best to come to some conclusions about Mishima the man, Mishima the artist, and ultimately the art itself. Can those things be separated in this case? Also, as Brady is new to the podcast, he gets to play The Movie God Game, and he also talks about some recent watches. After you listen, if you thought this podcast was perfect art, feel free to destroy it right afterwards. "Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters (1985)" IMDB.  Find more of Brady on his fantastic podcast Solid Six.  Also check out their Instagram.  Featured Music: "Body Building" & "Temple of The Golden Pavilion" by Phillip Glass.

Paul returns to the podcast to help Lee talk about the classic 1941 Universal horror film "The Wolf Man", directed by George Waggner, starring Claude Rains, and Lon Chaney Jr. as the beast itself. Much of the conversation revolves around Chaney and his performance, and the possible hidden layers in the script that don't always clearly come out in the finished product. Is this the best of the classic Universal horror films? The hosts also talk about recent watches and purchases. "The Wolf Man" IMDB  Check out Paul's horror podcast Maniacs Meat Buy a painting from Paul here.  Featured Music: Excerpts from the score for "The Wolf Man" by Hans J. Salter, Frank Skinner, and Charles Previn.

This week Lee is joined by friend and fellow podcaster, Vaughn Kuhlmeier, to cover one of the more notorious, yet somewhat forgotten, late-period Euro-horror sleaze flicks "Vampire in Venice" (1988), AKA: "Nosferatu in Venice". Originally envisioned to be an unofficial sequel to Werner Herzog's remake of "Nosferatu", the only connection is its star Klaus Kinski, who returns to his iconic role, but here he's not reigned-in, and all hell broke loose on this already troubled production. Is anything about this film worth watching? Does any of it make any damn sense? Can we separate the art from the artist when we can clearly see Kinski sexually assaulting his female co-stars on screen? Tune-in to hear the hosts thoughts, as well what they've been watching as of late. "Vampire in Venice" IMDB Check out Vaughn's great podcast Motion Picture Massacre Featured Music: Excerpts from "Movement 3" by Vangelis.

TMBDOS! does something a little out of the wheelhouse and covers a James Bond film this week. Lee and Lady Leah watched the final Daniel Craig outing as Bond, in theatres during their vacation, and are back on this episode to talk about 2021's "No Time to Die". Is it a good send-off for Craig? Is it a good Bond film? Is it too "woke"? What does the future hold for the series? The hosts also talk about what they've watched recently and respond to a couple of listener comments. Tune-in and discover why every movie is just "Chopping Mall". "No Time to Die" IMDB  Featured Music: "The Name's Bond... James Bond" by Nicholas Dodd & "We Have All the Time in the World" by Louis Armstrong.

Lee is back this episode giving you a playlist compiled from the soundtracks and scores for his favourite British crime films of the last 50 years. --It's Caper Time from "The Italian Job" (1969) --Quincy Jones --Dyed, Dead, and Read from "Performance" (1970) --Jack Nitzsche --The Hashishin from "Performance" (1970) --Ry Cooder --Excerpt from "Villain" (1971) --Jonathan Hodge --Getting Nowhere in a Hurry from "Get Carter" (1971) --Roy Budd --Main Theme from "Sitting Target" (1972) --Stanley Myers --No Respectable Gentleman/A Relentless Suitor from "The First Great Train Robbery" (1978) --Jerry Goldsmith --Main Title & The Scene is Set from "The Long Good Friday" (1980) --Francis Monkman --The Hit from "The Hit" (1984) --Roger Waters & Eric Clapton --Daddy Rollin' Stone from "Sexy Beast" (2000) --Derek Martin --Peaches from "Sexy Beast" (2000) --The Stranglers --Lujon from "Sexy Beast" (2000) --Henry Mancini --Golden Brown from "Snatch" (2000) --The Stranglers --Drugs Den from "Harry Brown" (2009) --Peter Tong & Paul Rogers Opening and closing music: Betrayal (Sorcerer Theme) from "Sorcerer" by Tangerine Dream, and My Name & The Departure from "Shanghai Joe" by Bruno Nicolai.

This week Lee and Leah have promised to live to see you die, and they will. Well, not really, but there's a lot of that sort of thing going on in Edward L. Cahn's radioactive monster thriller "Creature with the Atom Brain" (1955). The hosts discuss just how effective this low budget sci-fi horror film is. Do they get radiation right? Does it matter? Early squib work; shitty grenades; questionable Italian gangsters; huge lobotomy scars; and just who is Dick Cutting? All of this and more, as well as what the hosts have watched recently, and they read and respond to some recent YouTube comments. We may not look like Buchanan but we are him! "Creature with the Atom Brain" IMDB Featured Music: "Return of the Creature with the Atom Brain" by The Celibate Rifles & "Creature with the Atom Brain" by Roky Erickson.

Lee is joined this episode by his friend and fellow podcaster Vaughn Kuhlmeier to chat about an underseen Canadian exploitation film, "Siege" (1983), directed by Paul Donovan. Set in, and shot on location in Halifax, Nova Scotia (Lee's home province), some Canadian history surrounding the premise for the film, and some silly East Coast-isms are pointed out by Lee. Police brutality and corruption come up as they talk about the differences between American and Canadian police, and the obvious influences of John Carpenter's "Assault on Precinct 13" on this film. Vaughn also covers what he's been watching recently. So sit back, fortify your home from Canadian fascists, crack open a bottle of smooth Hermit's wine, and listen-in. "Siege" IMDB  Check out Vaughn's excellent podcast Motion Picture Massacre, and follow Vaughn on Twitter. Featured Music: Opening and Closing Themes by Drew King & Peter Jermyn.

Lee and Leah get lost in the vast desert that is the seemingly endless conflict in Afghanistan, as they look at a film that was requested a while back by a listener. This week it's 1988's "The Beast of War", directed by Kevin Reynolds. This bleak and unexpectedly serious tale of a Russian tank on the run from Afghani rebels, during the Russian invasion of Afghanistan, contains very little to be light-hearted about. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't watch it. The hosts also talk about what they've watched recently. "The Beast of War" IMDB  Featured Music: An excerpt from the score by Mark Isham & "Trolleybus" by Kino.

Lee and Leah return this episode with a trip back to the Rathbone/Bruce Sherlock Holmes series, taking a look at "Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon" (1942), directed by Roy William Neill, picked to be covered by special guest host on this episode, Matt Anderson. Much of the conversation revolves around the otherwise straight-forward plot and the changes made to Holmes after Universal picked up the series from Fox. Is 1940s spy-smasher Holmes a total betrayal to the source material, or is it a cool tweaking of the character? Is Bruce's Dr. Watson unfairly shat upon? Does the series do Dr. Moriarty justice as well? What's with the size of British pound notes? Also, Matt gets to play the Movie God Game, and the hosts all talk about what they've watched as of late in a slightly longer episode than usual. Check out Matt on twitter. "Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon" IMDB Featured Music: "Rule Britannia" by Thomas Augustine Arne & "Sobre las Olas (Over the Waves)" by Juventino Rosas.

Lee, Kerry, Greg and Leah are finally back to talk more outer space super hero stuff with James Gunn's "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2" (2017). This lively and sometimes argumentative discussion gets into some of the deeper psychology of family dynamics, in what's otherwise a silly action film full of daffy jokes. "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2" IMDB  Featured Music: "Fox on the Run" by Sweet.

The Atomic age is upon Blood on the Tracks this month as all sorts of strange radiation-born monsters are invading the perfect utopia that was the 1950s *cough-cough*. Anyway, it was a great decade to be a sci-fi and horror fan, and it was a decade that produced a lot of great film scores. Lee curates a playlist that reflects some of the best examples of this fact, in his opinion. --Main Title from "The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms" (1953) --David Buttolph --Main Title & Fury of Godzilla from "Godzilla" (1954) --Akira Ifukube --Blasted Arachnid from "Tarantula" (1955) --Henry Mancini & Herman Stein --Suite from "Beginning of the End" (1957) --Albert Glasser --Orchestral Suite 8 from "The Amazing Colossal Man" (1957) --Albert Glasser --Main Title from "Attack of the Crab Monsters" (1957) --Ronald Stein --Homura Club - Background Music #1 from "The H-Man" (1958) --Masaru Satoh --Main Titles & End Titles from "Fiend Without a Face" (1958) --Buxton Orr --Suite from "The Atomic Submarine" (1959) -- Alexander Laszlo Opening and closing music: Betrayal (Sorcerer Theme) from "Sorcerer" by Tangerine Dream, and My Name & The Departure from "Shanghai Joe" by Bruno Nicolai.

Lee, Leah and special guest Gary Hill join the mile high club this week as they talk about "Fly Me" (1973).

Santiago, Jonathan Demme, and Curtis Hanson; and along with a cast of often-naked beauties, it has bit parts by Dick Miller and Vic Diaz. How can it fail? Tune in to find out! Italian mothers; sex slavery; bad martial arts; bloody shoot-outs: this film has it all and more! The hosts also talk about what they've watched recently. So get your tickets and hop aboard TMBDOS!

Lee and Leah find themselves with the daunting task of talking about "Citizen Kane" (1941) -- the film that put Orson Welles on the map, and is often hailed as the greatest film of all time. But is it any good? Does it hold up? Is it a case of style over substance? Do the hosts have anything new to say about this film? Maybe not, but join in anyway to hear their opinions; Lee get in a fight with a moth live on the recording; and what the hosts have watched to as of late. "Citizen Kane" IMDB  Featured Music: "The Glass Ball" & "Prelude" by Bernard Herrmann.

Lee and Leah are joined on this episode by special guest Daniel Segura, of the excellent Moustachioed Podcastio to talk about a film that deals with bride kidnapping and honour killings - and it's a swinging 1960s comedy! On this episode they cover the Monica Vitti-starring film "The Girl with the Pistol" (1968). Also, as Daniel is a first-time guest, he gets to play The Movie God Game. Can Lee stump two people in a row? The hosts also talk about what they've watched as of late.
