Lee is back with the second of his three-part look at slasher films from North America produced in the 1990s. As the genre went on to the middle of the decade it still seemed directionless, throwing whatever at the wall and seeing what sticks, and often just trying to do what worked in the 1980s... until a little film called "Scream" appeared on the scene. --Dylan Tells Heather About Chase & And Now Heeeere's Freddy from "Wes Craven's New Nightmare" (1994) --J. Peter Robinson --Grease Box fr...

In this episode Lee and Daniel tackle two films that have nothing to do with each other, but Daniel wanted to talk about them. First off it's a fairly breezy conversation about the Finnish "kill all the Nazis" WW2 action film "Sisu" (2022), directed by Jalmari Helander. Then they cover the film Apple decided to buy and then abuse like its red-headed stepchild, "Wolfs" (2024), directed by Jon Watts. What Lee has watched as of late is also talked about.

Lee and Daniel are back in this episode to talk about not only 2005's low budget, gore-heavy horror comedy "Feast", directed by John Gulager. No, they also cover the Ben Affleck & Matt Damon-produced reality tv series "Project Greenlight", specifically season 3, which was all about the making of the film. The conversation revolves around how the film plays knowing what you get to know from what went on behind the scenes on the tv show. Is the film good? Does its edge lord sense of humour hol...

Lee is joined by friends and returning guest hosts Robby and Wick to cover John Flynn's "The Outfit" (1973), starring Robert Duvall, Karen Black, and the recently departed Joe Don Baker. Being one of several adaptations of a book in the popular "Parker" series of crime novels, the hosts ponder the virtues of Donald Westlake's more matter-of-fact blue collar criminal world, and the hard-nosed professionals he populated it with. The hosts also discuss recent watches, which mostly focuses on 30+ ye...

The 1990s were a weird and often really interesting time for the slasher film genre. Join Lee as he navigates the often even weirder soundtracks and scores of those films in the first of a 3-part series. --He's Invisible from "The Invisible Maniac" (1990) --Dan Povenmire --Maniac Cop Rap from "Maniac Cop 2" (1990) --Jay Chattaway, Wayne Lammers and Peter Levin --I'll be Right There from "Prom Night 3: The last Kiss" (1990) --Paul Zaza --She's Gonna Freak You from "Prom Night 3: The Last Kiss" (1...

This Week Lee and Daniel are yet again joined by friend Jack Graham to cap off the extended look into both Gene Hackman and 1990s thrillers with Peter Hyams' remake of "The Narrow Margin" (1952), "Narrow Margin" (1990). Does this train ride take too long or does it have one hell of a sexy caboose? The host's also talk about what they've watched as of late.

Lee, Daniel & Jack hunker down in a van full of sweaty tech bros and spy on everyone in this week's episode covering "Enemy of the State" (1998), directed by Tony Scott, and starring Will Smith and Gene Hackman. Is this a sequel to "The Conversation", as movie discourse seems to demand it be these days, or it it just a massive piece of shit? This is talked about, and more, including what the hosts have watched this week. Now quick, sweep for bugs before you listen! "Enemy of the State" IMDB ...

Lee decided to get back on the vanity project kick this month, covering yet more soundtracks and scores from those films made by someone with a singular and sometimes misguided cinematic vision. --Ain't Gwine To Whistle Dixie (Any Mo') from "Clay Pigeon" (1971) --Taj Mahal --Just You, Just Me from "The Groove Tube" (1974) --Ken Shapiro --Tuesday Afternoon from "The Astrologer" (1976) --The Moody Blues --No Way Back from "No Way Back" (1976) --The Dells --The Mancunian from "Grievous Bodily Harm"...

Lee and Daniel are joined in this episode by their friend Jack Graham, who co-hosts the I Don't Speak German podcast with Daniel, to talk about "Rising Sun" (1993), directed by Philip Kaufman, and based on the novel by Michael Crichton. The film follows Sean Connery and Wesley Snipes as they navigate Japanese culture, while trying to solve a murder, in ways that sometimes make Mickey Rooney's yellow face performance in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" look somewhat tame in comparison. Is there anything ...

Lee and Daniel decided to go deep (well, as deep as a Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer production can get), both literally and figuratively, as they tackle the epic shouty men on a submarine film, "Crimson Tide" (1995), directed by Tony Scott, and starring Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman as said shouty men. Has the threat of nuclear war ever been more dumb and full of cum? Was Tarantino punching this stuff up needed? The hosts also cover what they've watched as of late. Tune in to help launc...

Lee, Daniel and Leah form up a posse this time out to cover George P. Cosmatos' epic 1990s western "Tombstone" (1993), starring, well, pretty much everyone who was a name or would be a name in the next few years. Val Kilmer's recent death was the excuse to cover the film, but aside from talking about his career-defining performance, the hosts also talk about just how great everyone else is, and if the actual film itself manages to keep up with them. How historically accurate was this thing anywa...

Lee, Daniel, and their friend and fellow podcaster James Murphy talk about Ken Russell's "The Lair of the White Worm" (1988), based on a novel by some guy called Bram Stoker. Did Russell manage something better than the source material here? Just where does this film seem to fit into the history of British horror, and just how horny is this film anyway? The hosts also talk about what they've watched as of late. So get out your bagpipes, keep a spare mongoose handy, and join us on a giant snake h...

Lee and Daniel are joined by new guests to the show, Steve and Izzy of the Everything I Learned From Movies Podcast, to talk about the little-known indie sci-fi slasher film "The Terminator" (1984), directed by flash-in-the-pan James Cameron, and starring people nobody has ever heard of, like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton.

Lee and Daniel pay a bit of tribute to the recently departed Gene Hackman by talking briefly about what he meant to each of them, and then covering a film he appeared in before he hit it big in "The French Connection". The film in question is the Bill Norton-directed "Cisco Pike" (1971), which was a tailor-made debut film for then upcoming musician Kris Kristofferson. The hosts conversation revolve around this film's place in the series of counterculture films that came in the wake of "Easy Ride...

Lee tries to start off 2025 on a positive note with a playlist from everyone's favourite Italian brother duo, Guido & Maurizio De Angelis. If you're counting, this is the fourth time Lee has done a show covering the work of the prolific brothers (search the archives on Podbean for parts 1-3), be it under their names, Oliver Onions, or some of the lesser known pseudonyms they've used over the decades. In many cases, this list features instrumental versions of songs Lee has used in previous ep...

Lee and guest host Matt Anderson leave no stone unturned as they talk about the oddball 1950s sci-fi/disaster film "The Monolith Monsters" (1957), directed by John Sherwood. How can rocks that grow be all that scary? Does the film manage to sell that idea? The hosts talk a lot about how effective this low budget film is, and the people behind it, including the influence of genre king Jack Arnold. A lot of ground is covered in this one. The hosts also talk about what they've watched as of late. B...

Lee is joined this week by friends and previous guests Wick and Robby to cover the overlooked gem "The Matador" (2005), directed by Richard Shepard, and starring a post-Bond Pierce Brosnan, who is doing his best to shake off that Bond type-casting. The hosts do a fairly deep dive into a surprising character piece, that feels like it was marketed as a crazy Guy Ritchie-type crime/spy film. The hosts also cover what they've watched recently.

Lee and Daniel are joined by friends and past guests Nick and Greg to talk about Russell Mulcahy's "Highlander" (1986), starring Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery. Bad accents; excellent visuals; confusing lore; Michael Ironside with a mullet; and a legacy of a franchise with fantastic highs and bottom of the barrel lows are things that are talked about, along with a ton of other asides, including the soundtrack and dead media formats zoomers might not know about. The hosts also talk about wh...

2024 has come and gone. Lee and Leah are together for the first TMBDOS! of 2025 to talk about their best and worst first-time watches during the past year. Lee also has some honourable mentions to get through as well. Of note, this episode was recorded during a live stream, so there's some brief moments where the hosts are interacting with the chat as well. It made for a long but fun show!

Lee finally broke down and did the obvious for the Christmas season, and built a playlist featuring movies set during the Christmas season. This time out they all happen to be from movies in the 1980s, and mostly Christmas horror. Of course, due to the release schedule of this podcast, it's a few days late.

Things brought up include the underlying sadness and darkness in this kids/family film; how good of an adaptation this is; the performance of Michael Caine as Scrooge; as well as the wonderful music and producti...
