TMBDOS! is back for more Italian westerns this week, focusing on two horror-themed entries in the genre. First up, Lee and Daniel tangle with the surreal Giulio Questi-directed "Django Kill... if You Live, Shoot!" from 1967. Then Paul joins them to take on Lucio Fulci's harrowing "Four of the Apocalypse" (1975). Also: listener comments and a round of the Movie God game. "Django Kill... If You Live, Shoot!"

The whole gang is back together to kick-off the podcast's first look at Spaghetti westerns by talking about what is, perhaps, the second most well-known character of the genre, after Clint Eastwood's Man with No Name. Yes, on tap is Sergio Corbucci's "Django" (1966). The only true sequel, "Django Strikes Again" (1987), is also briefly talked about, and Lee gives some suggestions on which of the thirty or so unofficial sequels are worth checking out. Also covered: listener comments and Paul gets to play the There Can be Only One... Filmography game.

Lee and Daniel return for the last episode before jumping into their first look at Spaghetti Westerns on the podcast with two 1990s sci-fi films. First up is the Keanu Reeves cyberpunk action film "Johnny Mnemonic" (1995) and then it's the gung-ho space marine satire "Starship Troopers" (1997). They touch on how dated 1990s films seem today; Reeves as an actor, and just how much storage space there might actually be in his brain; space Nazis; and they often drift off into talk about how much they love Dina Meyer, who stars in both films.  "Johnny Mnemonic" IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113481/combined "Starship Troopers" IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120201/combined Featured music: "Memory Johnny" by Black Rain & "Klendathu Drop" by Basil Poledouris.

Because there could not be a regular episode this week, Daniel is filling in with a look at four different films. First up he looks at two sex comedies from the 1970s - "Guess What We Learned in School Today?" (1970) & "Jokes My Folks Never Told Me" (1978). Then he switches gears towards two Oscar contenders from 2015, "Spotlight" & "The Big Short".  "Guess What We Learned in School Today?": http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065802/combined "Jokes My Folks Never Told Me": http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0134751/combined "Spotlight": http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1895587/combined "The Big Short": http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1596363/combined Featured Music: "I Personally Believe" by The Mattoid.

Lee is flying solo this week for an intermission episode. He gives a more detailed look at what the upcoming Spaghetti Western series is going to cover, and then he goes on to plug some podcasts he loves and wants people to check out. After that, Lee gives two short reviews of the recent 2016 films "Ghostbusters" & "Suicide Squad".  Exploding Heads: http://www.podbean.com/podcast-detail/7tw2y-3bb82/Exploding+Heads+Horror+Podcast+%E2%80%93+Horrorphilia Watching Robocop with Kit Power: http://talkingrobocop.libsyn.com/watching-robocop-with-kit-power Hero Hero Ghost Show: http://www.legionpodcasts.com/hero-hero-ghost-show/ Featured music: "The Grand Duel (Parte Prima)" by Luis Bacalov & "Nobody to Love" by 13th Floor Elevators.

Lee and Daniel are taking a couple-episode break before jumping in to what will be an extensive Spaghetti Western series. For this episode they are joined by their friend, fellow podcaster, musician, and published writer Kit Power, who suggested the two films for review this time: "Tommy" (1975) & "Parents" (1989). Because this was recorded a bit later in the week and way much earlier in the day than what Lee and Dan are used to, the whisky hits them much harder. They fully blame Kit for this, BTW. At any rate, the conversation goes deep in to both films, and a lot of both fun and serious issues are brought up. This might be one of the best of all time for the podcast when it's all said and done, even if there's a few audio glitches here and there (sorry for that, but it's nowhere near un-listenable). Also covered: listener comments & what they've watched as of late, and Kit get's to answer the One Actor's Filmography desert island question.

Lee and Daniel are back to finish off their second run of sex comedies. This week they look at the four films in the "Meatballs" franchise, although they mostly focus on the final two parts. Is it really a franchise? Are any of the sequels any good at all? Should they do a commentary track for "Meatballs Part II"? Tune in to find out. Also covered: listener comments and Daniel surprising Lee with the challenge of impersonating Vinnie Jones, if he were to appear in films not actually in his resume, like he had done briefly in the previous episode.

Lee and Daniel are back for their second-to-last installment of this continuation of their look at sex comedies. Covered this time are the dive-in classic "Gas Pump Girls" (1979) & the box office flop from 2004, "EuroTrip". How exactly does one pump gas in little-to-no clothing? Are all European men rapists? Will absinthe make you see things? All of this and more is pondered in this episode! Also: a new version of the desert island game, listener comments, and what they've watched as of late.

Lee and Dainel are back for another entry into their sex comedy series. This time out they look at "Summer Job" from 1989 & "Bikini Drive-In" from 1995. One of these may just have made the bottom 5 films they've ever reviewed for the podcast. Also they cover listener comments, what they've watched as of late, and there's some interesting follow-up to the films they covered in the previous episode. "Summer Job" IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098411/combined "Bikini Drive-In" IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112504/combined Featured music: "Munchie Invasion" by Mr. Moderation.

Lee and Daniel continue the sex comedy series. This time they tackle the film Daniel claims is the 'Citizen Kane' of the genre in 1984's "Hardbodies", and then they look at yet another obscure Canadian production, "Perfect Timing" (1986). Also: Lee briefly covers the short from Astron-6 called "Cool Guys", which is heavily influenced by "Hardbodies" and similar films... as well as "Jacob's Ladder"? Listener comments and the other stuff the hosts have watched as of late are also covered.

Lee and Daniel get into the second installment of their return to the podcast's sex comedy series. This time out they go all the way back to 1973 to talk about the softcore romp, sure to cause a rise in your Levi's, "The Cheerleaders", and then they jump ahead to 1986 to check out one of (if not the) most obscure Canadian-made sex comedies, "One Night Only", and its introduction to the viewer of 'THE SCARY CAVE'. Also covered: listener comments, what they've watched as of late, and a follow-up to a question Lee posed on the Facebook group about the child of Bob and Carol from the film "Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice", covered in the previous episode.

This week Lee and Daniel jump back into their look at sex comedies. Before they jump right into the den of sleaze for the rest of the series, they start off by cleaning their palates with a much more respectable sex comedy from 1969, "Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice": a film that tackles the topic of open relationships, among other things. Also covered: listener comments and what they've watched as of late. Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064100/combined Daniel's article about Quentin Tarantino's "Death Proof", "Pulp Frission", over at Eruditorum Press: http://www.eruditorumpress.com/blog/pulp-frission/ Featured Music: "Main Title From 'Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice' (Hallelujah Chorus)" by Quincy Jones.

This week Lee and Daniel end their sci-fi break by looking at two big action/sci-fi sequels from 1990, "Robocop 2" and "Predator 2". Their long lost co-host Paul finally returns for the "Predator 2" portion of the podcast. Also covered: listener comments and what they've been watching as of late. "Robocop 2": http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100502/combined "Predator 2": http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100403/combined Featured music: "Rico Suave" by Gerardo.

This week Daniel stepped up and recorded an Intermission episode, as real life got in the way of the possibility of recording a regular episode. In this episode he covers a trio of classic westerns that were recently covered by the excellent Pex Lives podcast in their last two episodes. The films he covers are "The Hanging Tree" (1959); "My Darling Clementine" (1946), and "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" (1962). He ties the latter film in with his thoughts on the June 12th Orlando Nightclub Shooting.  "The Hanging Tree": http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052876/combined "My Darling Clementine": http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0038762/combined "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance": http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056217/combined Pex Lives on "Stagecoach", "My Darling Clementine" & "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance": http://pexlives.libsyn.com/33-ghost-light-or-wicked Pex Lives on "High Noon", "Man of the West" & "The Hanging Tree": http://pexlives.libsyn.com/32-the-gunfighters-or-prey-to-every-clich-ridden-convention-of-the-american-west Featured Music: "Clementine" by Neil Young & Crazy Horse.

Lee and Daniel are back for their second-to-last entry into their sci-fi break before getting back into the sex comedy groove. This time out they review James Gunn's horror/sci-fi comedy "Slither", from 2006. Before they get to that they converse about the differences between American and Canadian junk food, answer listener questions, and talk about what they've watched as of late.

This week, instead of a regular episode, Lee, along with Daniel, bring a casual Intermission episode where they talk about sequels they think are better than the original films in the series. Also covered: what they've watched in the last little while.  Featured Music: "Let's Twist Again" by Chubby Checker & "Return of the Fly" by The Misfits.

This week Lee and Daniel get back to some Italian weirdness in order to spice up their mini sci-fi break before starting up their look at sex comedies again. This week they ponder the mysteries of John Huston as an alien intergalactic warrior, sent to Earth by Franco Nero as a sort of SPACE JESUS, in order to turn a very evil little eight year old girl to the light side before her evil nature threatens the very universe with destruction. Well, they think that's what's happening. Join in with them as they watch "Stridulum" (A.K.A: "The Visitor") from 1979. They also tackle the much less confusing influx of listener comments from the past week or so. Purchase or Rent "Stridulum" from Drafthouse Films: http://drafthousefilms.com/film/the-visitor  "Stridulum" IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080100/combined Featured Music: "Stridulum Theme" by Franco Micalizzi.

Lee and Daniel are back for the first episode of a three episode sci-fi break before moving on to continue their sex comedy series they started last year. Since they'll be jumping right back into tits and other adult low brow content, they decided to get really damn high brow and look at what is considered one of the greatest films ever made... and it's not-so-loved sequel. In this episode they look at Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece "2001: A Space Odyssey" from 1968, and then Peter Hyams' 1984 sequel "2010: The Year We Make Contact". A lot of the conversation revolves around comparing the books to the films; Lee and Daniel's personal connections to the films and their source material; how the sequel stacks up to the original film; and how dated these films feel in the post 2010 world of today. There is no pretense here about covering every aspect of the films, as there's already been far too much written and said about just the production of "2001" alone. Lee and Daniel do try to touch on every aspect of both films to some degree, but the conversation is far more casual than it is scholarly.

This week Lee and Daniel conclude the podcast's first serious look at noir, neo-noir, and crime films in general, with Paul Thomas Anderson's "Inherent Vice", from 2014. Because Daniel is such a big fan of both director and author, the conversation gets in depth about PT Anderson and Thomas Pynchon. Lee and Daniel also converse about their different takes on the film and how it's held up for them with repeated viewings. Also discussed in some depth, in an effort to perv up the podcast's reputation a bit, the career of actress Michelle Sinclair, formerly known as the porn star Belladonna -- who had a minor role in the film -- is talked about. It's almost a mini bit of what the amazing Rialto Report does on a regular basis. Also covered: listener comments and what they've watched as of late.

Lee and Daniel are back again for what became a loaded two hours plus episode. Keeping on with their look into film noir, neo-noir and crime films in general, they check out two closely-connected thrillers, "The Lodger" (1944) and "Hangover Square" (1945). The conversation bleeds out into discussions of the other versions of "The Lodger", Jack the Ripper in fiction, and how films in the film noir genre from different decades have influenced future productions both in and outside the genre. They also talk about the remarkable Laird Cregar and Linda Darnell, and the sad, tragic ends to their short careers. Also covered: listener comments, shout-outs from other podcasters and what they've watched as of late.

It's just Lee flying solo this time out for the longest Intermission episode the podcast has done so far. Lee goes over some recent purchases and stuff he's viewed as of late, and then digs into his old blog's review archive for reviews of  "Monster Brawl" & "The Thing", both from 2011, and then he runs down the plans for the podcast in the spring and summer months. It's still a fairly quick listen, so give it a spin if you fancy killing forty minutes.  Featured Music: "Funnel Of Love" by SQÜRL, featuring Madeline Follin & "Heathen Child" by Grinderman.

This week Lee and Daniel continue an extended look at the crime/film noir genres, reviewing two films: 1973's "The Friends of Eddie Coyle" & 1998's "Zero Effect". Lee had never watched "Zero Effect" before and Daniel had never watched "The Friends of Eddie Coyle". Listen in and see what they thought about each other's picks for this week. Also covered: their guest from the previous episode, Jack Graham, spiking the shows downloads; anal leakage; listener comments, and what they've watched in the last while.

Lee and Daniel continue their look into crime and noir films, and are joined by a special guest this week: writer and fellow podcaster Jack Graham, who writes the blog Shabogan Graffiti, and hosts his podcast, Shabcast, from there as well. This week the panel takes a look at two 1980s neo-noir films. First up is the tightly-written classic debut film from the Coen brothers, "Blood Simple" from 1984. Then the panel takes a VERY in-depth look at the twisted mysteries of David Lynch's "Blue Velvet" from 1986, where much of the BDSM imagery and themes are discussed. It turned out to be a very enlightening conversation. Roger Ebert's review of "Blue Velvet". "Blue Velvet" screenplay. Check out Jack's blog here. Jack's essay on why Iron Man is such a "Solid Dick". Featured Music: "Blood Simple" by Carter Burwell; "It's the Same Old Song" by The Four Tops; and "In Dreams" by Roy Orbison.

Lee and Daniel continue their look at noir/neo-noir and crime films. This week it's the Bogart & Bacall powerhouse "The Big Sleep" from 1946, directed by Howard Hawks. They also spend some time covering the 1978 remake from Michael Winner, starring Robert Mitchum. They contrast the original with that film as well as the Raymond Chandler source material, and mention the original version from 1945, that was not released to the general public until it was gutted and re-shot into the 1946 version everyone knows today. Also covered: what they've watched as of late. Featured music: "And Her Tears Flowed Like Wine" by Stan Kenton (Anita O'Day, vocals).

Lee, Daniel and Paul are back to look at more noir and crime films. This week they take a look at 1947's "Kiss of Death", directed by Henry Hathaway and featuring a star-making performance by Richard Widmark. Lee shouts out another movie podcast he likes, "The Hail Ming Power Hour", and Paul sneaks in a quick bit of the Movie God game for Lee and Daniel to ponder. Also covered: what they've watched as of late. Featured Music: "Street Scene" by Alfred Newman.

This week Daniel and Lee are back to cover two more films in their look at noir, neo-noir, and some other crime films in general. They dig deep this week while discussing two interesting films starring Gene Hackman: 1974's The Conversation, directed by Francis Ford Coppola & 1975's Night Moves, directed by Arthur Penn. Also covered: a small aside about Netflix and how it's changed in the last five years; a listener comment; what we've been watching as of late; and letting the listeners know about our new Facebook group they can join. Featured Music: The theme from "The Conversation" by David Shire & the theme from "Night Moves" by Michael Small.

Lee and Daniel return to continue their look into noir/neo-noir, and other crime films of interest to them. This week they take a look at a bit of an unknown indie noir from director, writer, and actor, Allen Baron, called "Blast of Silence", from 1960. Is this an over-looked classic? Is it a true transition between the classic noir and the new neo-noir films? Or is it a film with big ambitions that ultimately falls short? Tune in to find out what the guys think. Also covered: what they've been watching and listener comments. Featured music: "Juggernaut" by David Lindup.

This week Lee and Daniel begin an extended look at Noir and Neo-Noir films (and maybe a few standard crime films in-between) with the Robert Altman directed and Leigh Brackett-witten adaptation of Raymond Chandler's "The Long Goodbye" (1973). Also covered, a listener comment and what they've watched as of late.  Featured Music: "The Long Goodbye" by John Williams and Johnny Mercer, performed by Jack Sheldon.

This is it, TMBDOS has finally made it to fifty official episodes, and now it's time for Lee, Daniel and Paul to tackle the film that provided this humble bit of audio nonsense its name and mascot. Yes, George A. Romero's zombie classic "Dawn of the Dead" is reviewed in exhausting detail, peppering in some music clips and sound bites for good measure. Sadly Paul could not join in on the recording during the planned Friday night, so after covering the film on that night, Lee and Daniel came back on Saturday night to continue the conversation with Paul. As a native of Pennsylvania, Paul has some unique insights about the production and what the film means to the local area and the people there to this day. Also covered: the film "Mystery Road" from 2013, that Daniel had recommended in last week's episode, which essentially turns into a mini review of its own. If you've got 2 hours and 43 minutes to kill, this episode might be for you. (Note: Due to the addition of musical cues, the actual conversation does not start until about seven minutes into the podcast). Featured Music: "L'alba Dei Morti Vivent", "Zombi", "Safari" by Goblin; "Cause I'm a Man" by The Pretty Things; and "The Gonk" from the De Wolfe Music Libary.

Lee, Daniel and Paul are back this week to take a look at one of the least-disputed classics from the start of the talkies: Fritz Lang's "M" from 1931. A film with decades of scholarship and critical analysis behind it is a daunting task, but a fairly in-depth discussion is drawn from it, as well as the little-known 1951 American remake. They also discuss what they've watched, which spirals off into a few tangents, as usual. Featured Music: "In the Hall of the Mountain King" by Edvard Grieg.

Due to some real life issues, Lee could not put together a recording this week, so Daniel was cool enough to take the helm and record an intermission episode. Daniel briefly covers the movies and TV he's been watching in the last little while. Hopefully next week the entire gang will be back together for "M" from 1931. Featured Music: "Electric Boogaloo" by Ollie & Jerry.

This week Lee and Daniel take a look at two interesting horror gems from the early 1970s. First off it's the fifth film in the Hammer Dracula cycle, 1970's "Taste the Blood of Dracula", directed by Peter Sasdy. Then they look at a film that has more than a little in common with John W. Campbell, Jr.'s "Who Goes There?" (better known by most from its other big screen adaptations "The Thing from Another World" and "John Carpenter's The Thing"). The film in question is the lesser known Spanish Hammer-like production, "Horror Express" from 1972, directed by Eugenio Martín. Also covered: what the hosts have watched in the last little while. Featured Music: "End Titles" by John Cacavas.

Lee, Daniel, and Paul are back for another visit with the films of Jess Franco as they take a look at 1971's erotic revenge film "She Killed in Ecstasy" and the much-abused sexed-up gothic horror "A Virgin Among the Living Dead", from 1973. Also covered: listener comments and what the hosts have watched as of late. Featured Music:  "Una Vergine Tra I Morti Viventi – Sequence 22" by Bruno Nicolai & "Kamasutra" by Manfred Hubler & Siegfred Schwab.

Lee and Daniel are back for the first episode of 2016 to run through the best stuff they watched for the first time in 2015 -- as well as a few stinkers and let-downs. Also covered: what they've watched in the last week or so and another round of the Movie God game. Featured Music: "Vicious Rat" & "Tequila Sunrise (OST version)" by Le Matos.

Lee and Daniel are joined this week by Lee's friend from the online beer reviewing community on YouTube, Hugh, better known as the Beerzerker. This time out they are taking a look at John Boorman's 1974 sci-fi film "Zardoz", starring a half-naked Sean Connery. They dig deep under the layers of Connery's red diaper to explore the various themes and ideas the film is really dealing with, once you get past some of the visuals, that have sadly overshadowed the film thanks to the pseudo-MST3K crowd out there. Also covered: listener comments and what they've been watching as of late, featuring Lee's thoughts on "The Hateful Eight" screener that was recently leaked. 8-Bit Zardoz The Beerzerker on Youtube Featured Music: "Zardoz (Beethoven Opus 92)" by Zzebra.

This week Lee and Daniel are joined by Dan's wife Shana and their mutual friend Ryan to discuss two selections from the filmography of Mel Brooks. It seems to be the norm with this podcast to somewhat avoid the obvious films from any given director, and that theme is continued here as the start and end (so far) of the second half of Brooks' directing career are covered here in 1981's "History of the World: Part I", and "Dracula: Dead and Loving It" from 1995. What the hosts have been watching is also covered, but it focuses mostly on TV shows this time around. They also dive into a couple of listener comments. Featured Music: "It's Good to be the King Rap Parts 1 & 2" by Mel Brooks. Ryan's Youtube Ryan's Facebook  Ryan at the West Coaster

A little late this week, but worth it: Lee, Daniel and Paul take a look at Jess Franco's 1971 erotic art house horror film "Vampyros Lesbos". They also do the usual and talk about what they've watched as of late and play a pretty fun round of Movie God. "Queer Women in Horror" article on Bitch Media. Featured Music: "The Lions and the Cucumber" by Manfred Hübler & Siegfried Schwab.

Lee is back with Daniel and Paul in what became a very long episode. The year is winding down, Halloween and Thanksgiving have just passed, and we are approaching Christmas and New Year's. So this time out the theme is a general chat about holiday films, that often goes off on lengthy asides. They also talk about what they've been watching as of late (which leads to more lengthy asides), and they bring back the Movie God Game. If you've got two and a half hours to kill, this might be for you. Pex Lives coverage of Amicus films. Featured Music: "I'm the One Who Gunned Santa Down" by Deadbolt & "The Gremlin Rag" by Jerry Goldsmith.

Lee and his brother Scott are back this week for another film commentary track for a film that otherwise probably would never get one. Join them as they watch Bill Brame's 1974 Blaxploitation diamond-in-the-rough "Jive Turkey". What's a better waste of you time than to watch a public domain Black gangster film, set in the 1950s, that's obviously filmed in 1974? How can you deny yourself a film that depicts the intense struggle for control of the numbers game, a psychotic tranny hit man, and so many N-bombs that you'll no doubt have to feel white guilt for the rest of your life? Find it on YouTube, Daily Motion or on any number of Mill Creek 50-film bundles and tune-in, won't you?

Lee's flying solo this week, talking about what's coming up on the podcast straight through to the end of the year. There's also some talk about the recent death of Gunnar Hansen, some shout-outs to other podcasts and a bit of a review of the new Western/Horror mash-up "Bone Tomahawk". Featured Music: "Night Theme"; "Night Theme (Reprise)" & "Master Charge" by Iggy Pop and James Williamson.

Lee, Daniel and Paul are back again, this time they take a fairly deep look into Paul Thomas Anderson's "Punch-Drunk Love" from 2002, and yet feel like they've only scratched the surface. Also: Lee welcomes the recent influx of new listeners, and then the crew goes over listener comments and what they've watched and/or purchased in the last little while. Featured music: "He Needs Me" by Harry Nilsson, remixed by Jon Brion.

Lee, Daniel and Paul are back with their final part of their initial look at Italian horror. This week they cap things off with Umberto Lenzi's 1980 zombie film "Nightmare City", and then take a look at a much deeper than expected giallo/slasher, in the form of Sergio Martino's "Torso" from 1973. Daniel also gives some thoughts on "Deep Red" and "Tenebre" after finally catching up on them. Also covered: listener comments and what we've been watching as of late. Featured music: "The First Murder by Guido & Maurizio De Angelis; "Metropolis" by Stelvio Cipriani. 

This week in part four of our Italian horror series Lee talks with Daniel and Paul in separate conversations about Luigi Cozzi's 1980 gory sci-fi horror "Contamination" and then they end up having A LOT to say about the late schlock-meister Bruno Mattei's 1980 "Dawn"/"Zombi" rip-off "Hell of the Living Dead". Lee and Daniel also cover what they've watched in the last little while. This may very well be the longest anyone has talked about these two films on a podcast, so if you're into wasting two hours of your life, this might be the episode for you.  Featured music: "Zombi" by Goblin, & "Hell of the Living Dead (Main Theme)" by Luis Bacalov. Pex Lives coverage of Amicus Films.

Lee, Daniel and Paul are back for part 3 of their look at Italian Horror. This time out they take a look at two selections from a true legend in not only Italian horror, but horror in general: Mario Bava. The films covered are 1963's Boris Karloff-hosted anthology "Black Sabbath", and then 1971's proto-slasher "A Bay of Blood". Also covered: listener comments and what they've watched/purchased in the last week. Featured Music: The theme for "A Bay of Blood" by Stelvio Cipriani, the Cave theme from Super Mario Brothers 2 and "Black Sabbath" by Black Sabbath.

Lee is joined by Paul for a special bonus episode. Since this podcast often leans towards horror, they decided to do what every other horror-related podcast does and do a list show revolving around their favourite movies to watch on and around Halloween. Both made up two separate lists: favourite picks, that they generally watch alone, and then party films, best watched with friends. Also, just for fun, there's a few soundbites and music tracks related to some of the films they picked thrown in. Featured Music:"Halloween" and "Halloween II" by The Misfits; "Song of the Fifth Wind" by  Gary Sales; "The Legend of Guandi" by The McCain Brothers & "Laurie Knows" by John Carpenter.

Lee and Paul are back this week for part two of their Italian horror series, this time looking at two highly-regarded additions to the giallo genre from director Dario Argento. Also covered: listener comments and what Lee and Paul have watched and/or purchased in the last little while. Daniel could not join this week, but should be back for the next episode with his thoughts on the two films.

Lee, Dan and Paul kick off their month-long look at Italian horror films. In the initial run of this series (which will be revisited later on) they'll be looking at different Italian horror directors and covering films from each of them. Starting off they take a look at Italy's "Godfather of Gore" Lucio Fulci, covering a selection from his peak years in 1981's "The House by the Cemetery" and some late period Fulci in 1990's "A Cat in the Brain". Featured Music: "I Remember" by Walter Rizzati.
