The air is cold and the moon is right, so that means Lee Van Teeth can make his return for this Halloween night! Sit back and enjoy two hours of creepy hits, ghoulish film trailers, and chilling commercials with the last real Wolfman of rock radio.

Lee, Leah and Paul plan some virtual murders as they cover the over-looked 1990s horror gem "Brainscan" (1994), directed by John Flynn. Depressed Edward Furlong; the new iconic horror villain who never was in Trickster; and the most early 1990s soundtrack to ever exist are just a few of the things talked about in this sloppy crime scene cover-up of an episode. "Brainscan" IMDB Featured Music: "Brainscan (Main Theme)" by George S. Clinton & "Welcome to This World" by Primus....

Lee and Leah drunkenly talk about a film they watched on their vacation in October of 2021: the Robert Florey-directed "The Beast with Five Fingers" (1946). This was originally recorded for Gary Hill of Cinema Beef's 31 Days of Howling Beasts series that he didn't get to finish. This might still show up on his feed at some point, but we thought we'd put it to use just in case. "The Beast with Five Fingers" IMDB Featured Music: "Hand of Fate" by The Rolling Stones....

Lee, Leah and Paul are joined by Gary Hill for a huge episode, to chat about the two 1990s "Tales from the Crypt" films: the Ernest R. Dickerson-directed "Demon Knight" (1995) and the Gilbert Adler-directed "Bordello of Blood" (1996). Of the many things talked about, we discuss Billy Zane being bad-ass; Dennis Miller being a shithead; demon dick fire bukkake; how true these films, and the series they spin off from, are to the original source material, and if that matters. The hosts also talk abo...

Lee and Leah are back for some more bonus content, this time talking about the Roberta Findlay-directed "The Oracle" (1985). Bad acting, mustaches, fake Ouija boards, ambiguous killers, and a ghost that's killing all the wrong people are just a few things that come up when they can stomach actually talking about the film. "The Oracle" IMDB Featured Music: "Electric Landlady" by Purson.

Lee and Paul found themselves having to change the planned episode last minute. So they decided to do a very casual and off-the-cuff show where they attempt to pick one title for every letter of the alphabet, from each of their respective horror film collections, that they personally recommend. Can they manage to get every letter? How many times do they pick the same title for the same letter? Honorable mentions? They also talk about what they've watched as of late. If you're bored, don't mind a...

Lee and Leah start off Halloween season in style, by going super hard and covering the Meir Zarchi-directed "I Spit on Your Grave" (1978) and its 2010 remake, directed by Steven R. Monroe, with friend and fellow podcaster Cort Psyops. The hosts do their best to do a thoughtful deep dive into the more serious aspects of these two rape/revenge films, being respectful of the subject matter, while still trying to have as much of a fun conversation as possible, as they compare and contrast the two fi...

This month Lee decided to finally do a deeper dive on the sensational electronic musical act Tangerine Dream, creating a playlist from the film scores/soundtracks they worked on in what he considers their classic period, 1977-1989. --The Call & Betrayal from "Sorcerer" (1977) --Igneous & Beach Theme from "Thief" (1981) --Horror in the Bathroom from "Strange Behavior" (1981) --Cue #4 from "The Soldier" (1982) --The Challenger's Arrival from "The Keep" (1983) --Sunset Drive from "Wavelengt...

Lee and Leah are back this time to tackle the film that really shot Bette Davis into superstardom, the William Wyler-directed "Jezebel" (1938). While the film is fairly dated and thus not all that great on things like feminism, slavery, and the like in a modern lens, it does feature a break-out performance by Davis, and it's notorious for all the real-life fucking that went on behind the scenes. Also, we don't know if you've heard, but Yellow Fever is fake news. All this and more, including what...
Sep 29, 2022•1 hr 5 min•Ep. 311
Lee is joined this time out by OG co-host Daniel, returning to talk about the John McTiernan-directed and Arnold Schwarzenegger-starring "Predator" (1987). Can they find anything original to say about the stone cold action/horror/sci-fi classic, or will they spend the entire episode just gushing over how damn good it is? The hosts also cover what they've watched as of late. You may not have time to bleed, but we're sure you have time to listen, you sexual Tyrannosauruses! "Predator" IMDB Check o...
Sep 12, 2022•1 hr 22 min•Ep. 310
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 orga...

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 Jeff...

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...
Aug 22, 2022•1 hr 44 min•Ep. 307
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 y...

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. "Americ...

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 ...

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. Castellari "Dark Angel" (1990), directed by Cr...

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 t...

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 fr...

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 d...

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 h...

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 an...

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 representat...

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 excerp...

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 l...

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. Check out the YouTube channel "Fish Man" that is the source of many of the suites featured in this and other episodes that I do. --Suite from "Torture Garden" (1967) --James Bernard --Suite from "They Came from Beyond Space (1967) --James Stevens --Suite from "The Terrornauts" (1967) --Elisabeth Lutyens ...

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 ...

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 ...

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...

Lee and Leah are joined by special guest Cameron Scott to cover the late period Blaxploitation all star team-up "Three the Hard Way" (1974), directed by Gordon Parks Jr., and featuring the talents of Jim Brown, Frank "The Hammer" Williamson, and Jim Kelly. 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 th...
