Daniel, Lee, Kerry, Greg, and Greg's better half, Agnes, talk about "Captain America: The First Avenger" (2011). How does it rank with the rest of the MCU? Is it a good origin story and set-up for "The Avengers"? Does it tackle WW2 and the Nazis with any level of depth? Does it really have to? Plenty is covered in a short time on this one. "Captain America: The First Avenger" IMDB End music: Cover of Alan Silvestri's "Star Spangled Man" by Ryan Stickney.

Lee and Daniel are back to tackle yet another sex comedy. This time it's another low-rent Canadian production, "Pinball Summer", from 1980. A themed sex comedy, much like "Joysticks", does it manage to deliver on its premise of arcade-based entertainment? Does it give us enough T&A on top of that? If not, how would Lee, as much more sleazy producer, sex this stuff up? Is the film even worth watching at all? Short shorts; bare male asses; pranking rich people; and not bothering with an ending are all things that are talked about in what might be one of the show's most off-the-rails episodes, as what the hosts have watched, and listener comments, instantly turn into a shit show before they even get to the film review. "Pinball Summer" IMDB  Check out Lee's latest appearance on Cinema Beef  Featured Music: "Voyeur's Motel" & "Pinball Summer" by Jay Boivin & Germain Gauthier

Lee and Daniel take a trip to California to check out the jazz scene and discover the proper volleyball moves that will help them feel up young beach bunnies in "California Dreaming" (1979). Living in cars for a month; surfing; being understanding of your Aryan lunkhead boyfriend; and Seymour Cassel being far too into his daughter's sex life are just some of the things talked about in this far deeper-than-expected sex comedy. Listener comments and some initial thoughts on "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" are also talked about. "California Dreaming" IMDB Featured Music: "Come on and Get Ready" by Henry Small & "California Dreaming" by America.

Lee is back to dive into part two of this three-part dive into the music from Canadian-made horror. This time out there's a focus on the early and the obscure. A lot of time was spent trying to source the music (some sources sounds a bit crappy), so the background info is a bit lighter in this episode. Playlist: --Sequence 1 from "The Mask" (1961) --Myron Schaeffer --Water Bug from "Playgirl Killer" (1967) --Neil Sedaka --La Diable est Parmi Nous from "Possession of Virginia" (1972) --Francois Cousineau --Song of Solomon from "The Pyx" (1973) --Karen Black --Suite from "The Corpse Eaters" (1974) --Unknown --Suite from "Shivers" (1975) --Howard Shore --Interrogating Kim from "Scanners" (1981) --Howard Shore Opening and closing music: Money Orgy from "Danger Diabolik" by Ennio Morricone & Main Theme from "The Horror of Dracula" by James Bernard.

The whole crew is on board for the podcast's long-overdue return to sex comedies. Up first it's the last of Troma studio's initial four sex comedy releases in 1983's "The First Turn-On!!". This sex comedy, formatted as an anthology film, has a lot to mull over. The hosts talk about how this might have been the first true Troma film, the gross-out gags, and the surprising positive attitudes towards sex given its genre and when it was made. Where's the rape? Is it so cleverly dumb that anything "offensive" just isn't? Would the hosts eat food stored in a cave? Why is Lee angry about the soundtrack? What can Paul tell us about a circle jerk involving a cracker? All of this and more (as well as listener comments) are covered. "The First Turn-On!!" IMDB Featured Music: "Tears and Synthesizers" by The Modern Thinkers & "Come Back to Me" by Shrapnel.

Lee and Daniel are joined by guest host Greg to peek again into the future. This time it's a window into the Bronx of both 1990 and 2000, as depicted in Enzo G. Castellari's "1990: The Bronx Warriors" (1982) & "Escape from the Bronx" (1983). This episode has talk about weird gangs; great villains who meet underwhelming ends; non-stop action; George Eastman; the weird posture, acting, and eventual vanishing of Mark Gregory; gentrification and ethnic cleansing; ideas for a possible third film; and which film is ultimately better. Listener comments and what the hosts have watched are also talked about. "1990: The Bronx Warriors" IMDB "Escape from the Bronx" IMDB Featured Music: "Escape Sequence 3" by Francesco De Masi; "Bronx 1990" by Walter Rizzati; and "Escape Sequence 1" by Francesco De Masi.

In the wake of films like 1982's "Conan the Barbarian" and "The Beastmaster", Italian cinema did its thing and started making cheap rip-offs. Lucio Fulci unleashed his version of one of these with 1983's "Conquest". Lee, Daniel and Paul have come together in this episode in an epic quest to figure out just what the hell the film is actually about (when we can clearly see what's happening on-screen). One of them loves it, one of them likes it, and one of them was really, really confused and bored by it. Be warned, there's a lot of padding of the run time with listener comments, what we've watched, and strange asides such as Dr. Pimple Popper of all damn things. "Conquest" IMDB Featured Music: "Main Theme"; "The Capture" & "Night Creatures" by Claudio Simonetti.

Daniel and Lee are joined once again by their friend Kerry to tackle the first Marvel film about the god of thunder himself, "Thor", from 2011. Is it unfairly overlooked? In general, where does it sit in the MCU? Why does Lee have questions about Asgard and Stan Lee's inability to pick up Thor's hammer during his cameo? All of this and more are explored. "Thor" IMDB

Lee and Daniel go all the way into the future! That's right, they are checking out what 2019 is going to look like with Enzo G. Castellari's "The New Barbarians" (1983). Slow dune buggies, massive shoulder pads, and even bigger hair are all discussed. Let's not forget the exploding bodies, annoying fucking genius kid, and the fact that hair spray is the most abundant resource in the post-apocalyptic future. Fred Williamson? George Eastman? How can you go wrong? Prepare for the initiation! "The New Barbarians" IMDB Featured Music: "Riding Killers" & "Nuke is Over" by Claudio Simonetti.

Lee, Daniel & Paul check out some sexy Euro horror this time out with 1973's "Baba Yaga". This Italian horror is based on a popular and long-running Italian comic book series, but does it connect at all to the Eastern European mythical being that it take its name from? Does this film have enough horror in it, or is it just a bunch of lesbianism, nudity, and BDSM, with strange Nazi imagery sprinkled in? Are the hosts going to complain either way? Joe Biden? Don't worry, it doesn't get political. Listener comments are also covered. "Baba Yaga" IMDB  Featured Music: "Slogan" & "Open Space" by Piero Umiliani.

This month Lee is taking the first part of a multi-part dive into Canadian horror films. Of course, many horror (and other genre) films were made in Canada over the years in order to take advantage of the tax shelter incentives, so not everything on this episode can be considered entirely Canadian, but often Canadians filled most of the major creative roles in the films to be featured here and future installments, thus they get a pass. But wait, there's more! This first part is going to focus on horror suites, so although you're getting fewer films and tracks featured here overall than you would in a regular BotT episode, you're still getting just as much music. Suites to the sweet! Playlist: --Silent Night & Evil Night from "Black Christmas" (1974) --Carl Zittrer --The Shape of Rage from "The Brood" (1979) --Howard Shore --Bleeding Hearts Still Beating Suite from "My Bloody Valentine" (1981) --Paul Zaza Opening and closing music: Money Orgy from "Danger Diabolik" by Ennio Morricone & Main Theme from "The Horror of Dracula" by James Bernard.

Lee, Daniel, and returning special guest Greg take a look at Michele Soavi's feature length debut, the visually-striking slasher film "StageFright" (1987). Does this late entry into both the giallo and slasher genres manages to stand out from the pack, or is it another victim of both genre's decline? What the hosts have watched and listener comments are also covered. "StageFright" (IMDB) Check out Greg's YouTube page here for beer-related content  Featured Music: "Ballade for Corinne" & "Aquarius" by Stefano Mainetti.

Finishing off their latest series on Westerns, Lee and Daniel tackle the Coen brothers' western anthology film "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs" (2018). Did they manage to pull off another classic, or does this film fall short of their greater works? The six segments; their individual themes, tone, style, and the performances from the actors in each are discussed. At the end the hosts rank the segments and give their overall final thoughts on the film as a whole, and talk a bit about it being a Netflix-only thing. Also covered: A listener comment and what Lee has watched as of late. "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs" IMDB Featured Music: "Cool Water" by Bob Nolan (performed by Tim Blake Nelson); "Carefree Drifter" by David Rawlings & Gillian Welch; "When a Cowboy Trades His Spurs for Wings" by David Rawlings and Gillian Welch (performed by Tim Blake Nelson and Willie Watson); & "The Book" by Carter Burwell.

Daniel and Lee are joined by their friends Greg and Kerry to talk about "Iron Man 2" (2010). Is it any good? Even if it is, does it matter in the big picture of the MCU? Did Mickey Rourke try too hard for this film? How fucking hot is Scarlett Johansson even before the Black Widow costume? All of this and more is talked about in this episode. "Iron Man 2" IMDB Check out Kerry's YouTube channel here. Check out Greg's YouTube channel here.

This week Lee and Daniel tackle a film that's two films in one. They look at Ralph Nelson's "Soldier Blue" (1970), which is both a romantic comedy and, in parts, a horror-filled rape and gore-fest, using the 1864 real life massacre at a Native American village at Sand Creek to criticize America's imperialist ambitions both then and in Vietnam, and in general. How does the film manage to balance both of these things, if at all? Would either said part of this film make for a great film on their own? Blue balls? Candice Bergen's lovely ass? Donald Pleasence in a great little supporting role? How can the hosts keep cracking jokes when the subject matter gets so grim? Listener comments are also covered. "Soldier Blue" IMDB Featured Music: "Fields of Green and Skies of Blue" by Roy Budd & "Soldier Blue" by Buffy Sainte-Marie.

Punksploitation! Is it a thing? Lee says it is, because he'll be damned if he's going to manage to re-record a new show from scratch before the month is over. Lee spins some of his favourite cuts from film soundtracks that (mostly) in some way use punk rockers, punk music, or some sort of other punk aesthetic in the film. Playlist: --Out of Luck from "Out of the Blue" (1980) --The Pointed Sticks --Something Else from "The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle" (1980) --Sex Pistols --Liars Beware from "Blank Generation" (1980) --Richard Hell & The Voidoids --Ain't Got No Sense from "Class of 1984" (1982) --Teenage Head --It Takes a Worried Man from "Human Highway" (1982) --Devo --Sister Darkness from "Burst City" (1982) --Battle Rockers --No God from "Suburbia" (1983) --The Germs --Wash Away from "Suburbia" (1983) --T.S.O.L. --When the Shit Hits the Fan from "Repo Man" (1984) --The Circle Jerks --Let's Have a War from "Repo Man" (1984) --Fear --Eyes Without a Face from "Return of the Living Dead" (1985) --The Flesheaters --Take a Walk from "Return of the Living Dead" (1985) --Tall Boys --Partytime (Zombie Version) from "Return of the Living Dead" (1985) --45 Grave --Love Kills from "Sid and Nancy" (1986) --Joe Strummer --Taxi to Heaven from "Sid and Nancy" (1986) --Pray for Rain --Urban Struggle from "Dudes" (1987) --The Vandals Opening and closing music: Money Orgy from "Danger Diabolik" by Ennio Morricone & Main Theme from "The Horror of Dracula" by James Bernard.

Lee, Daniel, and Paul (briefly), tackle Sam Peckinpah's often misunderstood and abused "Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid" (1973). Was this epic western, featuring an all-star cast of great character actors, fairly run out of the territory back in its day, or does the "Turner Cut" and the revised special edition from 2005 prove old Sam was on to something, even as his raging alcoholism was starting to take hold of his career's direction? An overview of the major cuts of the film are discussed, as well as just what Peckinpah was trying to say by taking Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett's story and twisting it - messing with the timelines, stretching the truth, and just plain making shit up. Also mentioned: Kris Kristofferson's ass, Bob Dylan's soundtrack and acting ability, and Harry Dean Stanton as a cuck. Listener comments are also covered. "Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid" IMDB Featured Music: "Knocking on Heaven's Door", "Billy Surrenders", and "Billy 1" by Bob Dylan.

The whole crew is together in this episode to talk about Sergio Corbucci's follow-up (and - let's face it - remake) of "The Mercenary", "Companeros" (1970). Nero is back playing another handsome, smooth-talking European mercenary. Jack Palance is back playing his rival again, but now he's got a wooden hand, smoking lots of wacky tobaccy cigarettes, and having conversations with his pet falcon. And then there's Tomas Milian, looking like Che Guevara, and threatening to steal the entire film out from under everyone's feet! Listener comments and a bunch of rambling, drunken asides abound in this one (including Paul's issues with Jack Palance in real life), so why not join the revolution? "Companeros" IMDB  Featured Music: "Il Pinguino" & "Vamos a Matar Compañeros (Titoli)" by Ennio Morricone.

This week Lee and Daniel continue down the dusty western trail with Sergio Corbucci's "The Mercenary" (1968). The balance of political and social themes in this Zapata spaghetti western with the out-right action and buddy comedy elements are discussed, as well as how this stands up to Leone's work. Jack Palance's naked ass, possible poly-triads, what the hosts have watched, and listener comments are also covered. "The Mercenary" IMDB  Featured Music: "Bamba Vivace", "Estasi" & "Il Mercenario (L'arena)" by Ennio Morricone.

Lee got busy this month and threw together an easy playlist. This time out it's two pieces of music from seven genre films he quite likes. Playlist: --The Living Dead & Strait Jacket from "Let Sleeping Corpses Lie" (1974) --Giullano Sorgini --We Saw Creatures & French Eye Kiss from "From Beyond" (1986) --Richard Band --Icy Search & Ballet - Russian from "Horror Express" (1972) --John Cacavas --Forever Dilating Eye & Elena's Sound World from "Beyond the Black Rainbow" (2010) --Sinoia Caves --Title & Inquiry from "It Follows" (2014) --Disasterpeace --Sex Killer & Bride of the Guillotine from "The Editor" (2014) --Jeremy Gillespie --The Journey & Vengeance from "Sorcerer" (1977) --Tangerine Dream Opening and closing music: Money Orgy from "Danger Diabolik" by Ennio Morricone & Main Theme from "The Horror of Dracula" by James Bernard.

Things went to shit, so Lee and Daniel decided to record an intermission episode instead of the intended regular podcast. They respond to listener comments and talk about what they watched as of late. It's essentially the first part of a regular episode without following that up with an actual film review. Check out these fine podcasts: Motion Picture Massacre  Astro Radio Z  Featured Music: "Rat Race" by Kenny Graham & "Rescue Squad" by Syd Dale.

Daniel and Lee are joined by writer, musician, fellow podcaster, and good friend Kit Power, to cover the second film in the MCU, "The Incredible Hulk" (2008). Is this film rightly treated like the forgotten disfigured son it is, locked up in the attic and fed fishheads from a bucket? Or is it highly underrated? Is it at least better than Ang Lee's Hulk film? "The Incredible Hulk" IMDB  Check out Kit Power's podcast Watching Robocop here, his online writing for Ginger Nuts of Horror here; buy his books here, and throw money at his Pateron here.

This week Lee and Paul are here to talk about the Italian Western/Martial Arts mash-up "The Fighting Fists of Shanghai Joe" (1973), directed by Mario Caiano. Can these two genres work together? Racist slurs? Quality dentures in the old west? Bloody violence? Klaus Kinski? All of this and more, as well as a listener comment and a couple of recent watches from Paul are talked about. "The Fighting Fists of Shanghai Joe" IMDB  Featured Music: Selections from the score by Bruno Nicolai.

Daniel and Lee have decided to start a side project looking at the Marvel Cinematic Universe films in chronological order. Don't expect these to come out on as regular a schedule as TMBDOS! or Blood on the Tracks, and don't expect them to be as research-heavy as their movie reviews often are. This series will be far more casual and laid back, trying to only focus in on some key points and eventually get to the hosts overall impressions of the big picture the entire franchise paints. In this episode they start with the film that started it all: "Iron Man" (2008). Does it still hold up today or is it one of the worst of the whole MCU in retrospect? Friend of the hosts Jack Graham's fantastic article about what a shit-heel Tony Stark really is as a character, and why "Iron Man" is an evil film.

A half in the bag Lee and a much more sober Daniel tackle another Western, one that was another listener suggestion. This time out it's "Posse from Hell" (1961). Is it just a standard by-the-numbers Western or does it have something else to say? What's up with Audie Murphy making eyes with John Saxon and helping him apply a remedy for his saddle sores? What the hosts have watched as of late and listener comments are also covered. "Posse from Hell" IMDB Wrong With Authority's commentary episode on "Blade Runner"  Featured Music: "Saddle Tramp" & "Running Gun" by Marty Robbins.

The whole gang sits down this week to discover what happens when William Shatner decided to take a break from "Star Trek" and star in a Spanish western, without really bothering to take a break from playing Captain Kirk. Oh, and Joseph Cotton apparently needed some money...badly. This is why "White Comanche" exists in the form it does. The hosts struggle with the bad and the good of this low-rent 1968 oddity, that feels like "Yojimbo" jammed into some bizarre ego-centric stream of consciousness from the Shat himself, where in a dual-role he tries to play both a good and bad pair of half-Comanche, half-white twins, and takes things off the rails. They didn't even bother with red-face, people. Listener comments are also covered. NOTE: Paul's audio comes in a bit low, so you might want to check this out with ear buds on. White Comanche IMDB  Check out Wacky Talkies podcast Feature Music: "Indian Giver" by The Ramones & "Comanche" by The Revels.

Lee and Daniel start an extended look into Westerns this week, by starting with the weirdest one on their list, which was also a listener request. This week it's the Robert Downey Sr.-directed Acid Western, "Greaser's Palace" (1972). Criticisms against Catholicism through a hippie counter-culture perspective aside, does the film have anything else much to offer? And if not, does it deserve to be as forgotten as it is today? Why is Toni Basil in this as a naked Native American babe? Also covered: listener comments and what the hosts have watched as of late. If you can feel this podcast you can heal. "Greaser's Palace" IMDB  Featured Music: "Tell All the People" by The Doors; "Jesus Gonna Be Here" by Tom Waits & "Mickey" by Toni Basil.

Lee is back with the show's second look into the violent and eccentric world of Poliziotteschi films, and the often diverse scores that come with them. Playlist: --Main Theme from "Killer Cop" (1975) --Stelvio Cipriani --La Fine Di Cobb from "Mark of the Cop" (1975) --Stelvio Cipriani --Mark Colpisce Ancora (Titoli) from "Mark Strikes Again" (1976) --Stelvio Cipriani --Sambamba from "The Tough Ones" (1976) --Franco Micalizzi --Main Titles from "Crime on the Highway" (1982) --Franco Micalizzi --You Are Not the Same from "Contraband" (1980) --Fabio Frizzi & Cricket --Dreamland from "Bloody Payroll" (1976) --Enrico Pieranunzi & Silvano Chimenti --Main Titles from "Confessions of a Police Captain" (1971) --Riz Ortolani --The Summertime Killer & Motorcycle Circus from "Summertime Killer" (1972) --Luis Bacalov --Main Theme from "The Police Serve the Citizens?"

Lee and the returning Paul tackle a listener request, and the first ever Lars von Trier film to be reviewed on the show. Both hosts were mostly unfamiliar with his work, but at least knew something about his reputation for transgressive cinema. Was this offensive? Artistic? Interesting? Or was it just overlong and boring? The hosts don't hold back. Listener comments are also covered. "The House That Jack Built" IMDB  Featured music: "Happy Jack" by The Who & "Jangling Jack" by Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds.

Lee and Daniel finish off their look at Blaxsploitation films (be it actual, proto, or just adjacent) with Roger Corman's "The Intruder" (1962). Is this William Shatner's best performance? Is this Corman's best film? Is it one of the most underrated films on the subject of race relations in the United States? The writer of the screenplay (and his own novel of the same name, that he adapted it from), Charles Beaumont, is also briefly talked about, as well as his famous writer friends who share the screen with him in small roles in the film itself. What the hosts have watched as of late as well as listener comments are also covered. "The Intruder" IMDB  Catch Daniel's recent apperances on: The Psychosemantic Podcast  Queer Transmission  Check out the new Exploitation Film Cast! Featured Music: "Klan", "Stranger" & "Main Title" by Herman Stein.

Lee returns to bookend off TMBDOS!'s look at Blaxploitation with more funky and furious tracks from various scores and soundtracks featured in films from the genre. Lee leans heavy on two films specifically this time around, pulling several tracks from "Truck Turner" (1974) & "Black Dynamite" (2009). This playlist is Sho-Nuff Dy-no-Mite! Playlist: --Main Theme from "Black Belt Jones" (1974) -- Dennis Coffey and Luchi DeJesus --Slaughter's Theme from "Slaughter's Big Rip-off" (1973) -- James Brown --Do Drop In from "Together Brothers" (1974) -- The Love Unlimited Orchestra --Main Title Theme from "Blackjack" (1978) -- Jack Ashford --Breakthrough, A House Full of Girls & Blue's Crib from "Truck Turner" (1974) -- Isaac Hayes --Disco Connection from "Black Dynamite" (2009) -- Lord Rhaburn --Chicago Wind, Jimmy's Dead & Jimmy's Dead (Instrumental) from "Black Dynamite" (2009) -- Adrian Younge --Your Kiss Sho-Nuff Dy-No-Mite from "Black Dynamite" (2009) -- Sir Charles Hughes Opening and closing music: Money Orgy from "Danger Diabolik" by Ennio Morricone & Main Theme from "The Horror of Dracula" by James Bernard.

This week Lee and Daniel hitch a ride with Isaac Hayes as "Truck Turner" (1974), in this highly entertaining blaxploitation film, co-starring Yaphet Kotto, Nichelle Nichols, Scatman Crothers and the recently departed Dick Miller! Coors Beer, KFC two-piece meals, over-the-top pimp fashion sense, and quality squib work are among the topics brought up. Listener comments are also gone through, where we talk about how we can make or break a writer's career. Stick with us - we got beer and we'll buy you a (cheap) chicken dinner. "Truck Turner" IMDB  Check out our friend Kit Power's work. Daniel's other fine podcasts: Wrong With Authority  I Don't Speak German  Featured Music: "Hospital Shootout" & "Main Theme" by Isaac Hayes.

Lee and Daniel tackle two proto-blaxploitation films this week. First off it's well-known shlockster Ted V. Mikels' "The Black Klansman" (1966) and then they look at a far more well-made effort in Ralph Nelson's "...Tick...Tick...Tick..." (1970). They learn about rural racists, more details about the internal politics of the KKK, whiteface doing blackface doing whiteface, double hairpieces, terribly inappropriate theme songs, and the exalted cyclops! Also, going into listener comments, they discover that they are hipster bores. What they've watched as of late is also covered. "The Black Klansman" IMDB  "...Tick...Tick...Tick..." IMDB  The Psychosemantic Podcast  Featured Music: "The KKK Took My Baby Away" by The Ramones; "Theme from ...Tick...Tick...Tick..." by Tompall & The Glaser Brothers; and "The Black Klansman" by Tony Harris.

Lee and Daniel check out Spike Lee's Oscar-nominated "based on a true story" drama "BlacKkKlansman" (2018). Just how true to life is it really? Does it tackle it's subject matter in an effective manner, or does the lighthearted tone undermine the serious race issues being talked about. Is it no more than just a slickly-made propaganda piece? This and more is pondered by the hosts, who also tackle more listener comments, as well as talking about what they've watched as of late. "BlacKkKlansman" IMDB  Daniel's podcast about Alt-Right and Nazi shitheels, "I Don't Speak German"  Feature Music: "Blut Und Boden (Blood and Soil)" by Terence Blanchard & "Ball of Confusion" by The Temptations.

Lee and Daniel kick off a month looking at Blaxploitation films with two iconic Jack Hill-directed and Pam Grier-starring films: 1973's "Coffy" & 1974's "Foxy Brown". Grier as an actress and cinematic icon is mulled over. Pimps with moose knuckle, dyke bars, rape, racism & Sid Haig are also touched upon. On top of that there's an extended segment of responding to listener comments and a brief mention of what Daniel has been watching that leads into a rant about how shitty Netflix's interface is. "Coffy" IMDB  "Foxy Brown" IMDB  Featured Music: "End of Sugarman" & "Exotic Dance" by Roy Ayers, and "Whatever You Do (Do it Good)" & "Theme of Foxy Brown" by Willie Hutch.

Lee has finally returned back to a topic he first covered in episode 2: Blaxploitation. This episode and the next will cover a whole hell of a lot of music Lee couldn't fit into that first episode. Get ready to open your ears to cuts from films giving us some of the baddest motherfuckers and fine-ass ladies to ever grace the exploitation genre. Playlist: --Easin' In from "Hell Up in Harlem" (1973) -- Edwin Starr --Good to the Last Drop & Blacula Strikes from "Blacula" (1972) -- Gene Page --Theme from Shaft from "Shaft" (1971) -- Isacc Hayes --Blowin' Your Mind from "Shaft's Big Score" (1972) -- Gordon Parks --Shaft In Africa (Addis) from "Shaft In Africa" (1973) -- Johnny Pate --Theme From Three Tough Guys from "Three Tough Guys" (1974) -- Isacc Hayes --Mr. Jonathan from "Black Shampoo" (1976) -- Gerald Lee --The Rumble from "Dolemite" (1975) -- Soul Rebellion Orchestra --"T" Stands for Trouble from "Trouble Man" (1972) -- Marvin Gaye --A Good Man is Gone from "Sheba Baby" (1975) -- Barbara Mason --Keep On Movin' On from "Willie Dynamite" (1974) -- Martha Reeves --Across 110th Street (Instrumental) from "Across 110th Street" (1972) -- J.J.

Lee and Daniel look at Gillo Pontecorvo's provocative film from 1966, "The Battle of Algiers". Imperialism, colonialism, racism, torture, terrorist tactics, and other light-hearted topics are touched upon. Yeah, this one gets political and depressing at times. The hosts also ponder how they'd want to be executed if given the choice. What the hosts have watched and a listener's comment are also covered. The Battle of Algiers IMDB  Featured Music:"June 1956, The People Revolt"; "Tortures" & "Theme of Ali" by Ennio Morricone & Gillo Pontecorvo.

Lee and Daniel talk about Billy Wilder's "The Apartment" (1960). Is it just a fluffy comedy, or is there a darker edge to it than one might initially think? How would Lee remake this film? Who does iTunes have to fuck in an apartment for people to get their podcasts on their service? All of this and more, including listener comments and what Daniel has watched as of late, is covered. "The Apartment" IMDB  "Love & Sex on the Upper West Side: The Filming Locations of The Apartment".  Daniel's new podcast, "I Don't Speak German".  Featured Music: "Lonely Room" by Adolph Deutsch & "Madalena" by Ary Macedo and Ayrton Amorim (performed by Linda Batista).

Lee and Daniel are back to dip their toes into what they thought would be an "easy" Akira Kurosawa film to cover, in 1949's "Stray Dog". They were dead wrong. Along with that, there's an extended opening segment where as they respond to listener comments and talk about what they've watched as of late, the hosts cover such things as how the next generation needs to drink as much bourbon as possible, the current movie making model, and the difference between how films look on the big screen compared to the modern television screen. Jump to 00:39:12 if you want to get right to the actual film review. "Stray Dog" IMDB Check out Daniel's new podcast, I Don't Speak German. Featured Music: "La Paloma Tango" by Sebastián de Iradier; "Rain Dogs" & "Bride of a Rain Dog" by Tom Waits.

2018 has come and gone and Lee and Daniel sit down to indulge in too much drink and a whole heap of movie nerd love for the best first-time watches for them in 2018.
