TMBDOS! Intermission #54: "The Freakmaker" (1974).

Lee and Paul finish up their bonus shows for October by covering the somewhat forgotten sci-fi horror, and semi-remake of Tod Browning's "Freaks", "The Freakmaker" (1974), directed by Jack Cardiff and starring Donald Pleasence and Tom Baker.

TMBDOS! Episode 320: "Blood and Black Lace" (1964) & "The Devil's Nightmare" (1971).

Lee is joined in this episode by guests Vaughn and Wick to cover two Euro-horror films. First off it's the stylish Giallo "Blood and Black Lace" (1964), directed by Mario Bava, and then they look at a mash-up of the old dark house film with the then emerging Euro trash horror boom, with Jean Brismée's "The Devil's Nightmare" (1971). The hosts also all talk about one thing they watched recently. Does Vaughn just hate movies? Tune in to find out! "Blood and Black Lace" IMDB "The Devil's Nightmare"...

TMBDOS! Intermission #53: "The Alien Dead" (1980).

TMBDOS! Episode 319: "Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde" (1971).

Lee and guest host Wick check out Roy Ward Baker's "Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde" (1971), a Hammer production which marked the first gender-bending adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's famous story. The conversation jumps around from the excellent lead performances of Ralph Bates and Martine Beswick to how the film weaves in the Jack the Ripper and Burke and Hare stories, as well as if it actually intended any progressive message with its gender-switching story, of if it was all just an excuse t...

TMBDOS! Intermission #52: "Patrick Still Lives" (1980).

Lee and Paul have some more drunken bonus content this week as they cover the unofficial Italian sequel to "Patrick", "Patrick Still Lives" (1980), directed by Mario Landi. How sleazy can the makers of this film get with the material? How amazed and shocked can the hosts become when talking about the beautiful women in this cast and the horrible things that happen to them in the film? Listen if you dare.

TMBDOS! Intermission #51: "Patrick" (1978).

Lee and Paul have a brief chat about Richard Franklin's "Patrick" (1978). It's a little drunken, it's a lot informal and unedited. Don't feel like you need to get out of your coma for it.

Blood on the Tracks Episode 80: Sucking in the 1970s (70s Vampire Films).

This month, as we get closer to spooky season, Lee has crafted a quick and dirty playlist revolving around vampire films from the 1970s. Greats like Dracula, Yorga, Barlow, Blacula, and several other lesser known blood suckers are featured. Lee talks less than usual on this one, so you the listener gets to the music faster!

Lee is joined by his friends and previous guests Nick Lowe and Greg Bielawski to cover Steven Spielberg's big budget adaptation of H.G. Wells' "War of the Worlds" (2005), starring Tom Cruise. They have a pretty good conversation about the film, its themes and imagery, and some of the various film and tv adaptations of the original story.

Lee and Leah are joined by their friend Gary Hill from The Butcher Shop family of podcasts to talk about a fun little take on the typical serial killer film, and a neat twist on the final girl trope, in Travis Stevens' "A Wounded Fawn" (2022).

Blood on the Tracks Episode 79: Grab Bag 5 - Bagnarok.

Another busy month equals another TMBDOS! Grab Bag episode of Blood on the Tracks! That's where Lee does the very lazy thing of building this episode's playlist from tracks found on official episodes of the They Must Be Destroyed On Site! podcast, and does very little talking about the music, if any at all. This playlist covers soundtrack and score selections found in various episodes between 265 and 314. Enjoy! --Self Destruction from "Predator" (1987) --Alan Silvestri (Episode 265) --Brainscan...

Blood on the Tracks Episode 78: Squatch Sounds.

This month Lee takes a look at music from films about possibly the world's most famous cryptid, the Sasquatch - or as it/they are better known in pop and general culture: Bigfoot. There are just so many films, especially in the last thirty years or so, that the list is focused on the real peak period of interest, the 1970s and 1980s. Even then this list threatened to be much larger than it ended up being, but a lot of the music was impossible to source. Still, Lee feels this list is large enough...

TMBDOS! Episode 316: "The Trip" (1967).

Lee closes out TMBDOS!'s tribute to the late Roger Corman by checking out his look into the world of LSD, "The Trip" (1967), with the help of friends and fellow podcasters Mike Wood and Vaughn Kuhlmeier. Written by Jack Nicholson, and starring Peter Fonda, Susan Strasberg, Bruce Dern & Dennis Hopper; does this snapshot of a very specific time and place in American culture still resonate today? Does it have anything deep to say or is it pure exploitation? Apart from the main film discussion t...

TMBDOS! Episode 315: "A Bucket of Blood" (1959) & "The Little Shop of Horrors" (1960).

This week Lee and Daniel are joined by friend and fellow podcaster Gary Hill to continue the Roger Corman tribute thread. This time they cover two very similar cheapies Corman and writer Charles B. Griffith came up with "A Bucket of Blood" (1959) & "The Little Shop of Horrors" (1960), which are two great examples of doing more with less. The economic film making of the Corman method; the greatness of Dick Miller, and many other things are touched upon. The host also talk about what they've w...

TMBDOS! Episode 314: "Targets" (1968).

Lee and Daniel continue the Corman tribute this week by talking about one of the more stand-out films to be produced under his watch, that being Peter Bogdanovich's "Targets" (1968). Boris Karloff, playing a thinly-veiled version of himself contends with new Hollywood and (eventually) a mass shooter, as Bogdanovich tries to find a way to fit the Corman-mandated amount of footage from "The Terror" into the film where he can. Lots of talk about mass shooters and serial killers at the time, and jus...

Blood on the Tracks Episode 77: Corman Chronicle Part 2.

TMBDOS! Episode 313: "The Terror" (1963).

Lee, Leah and Daniel are continuing the podcast's Corman tribute by covering "The Terror" (1963). Under Corman's watch a lot of future greats had a part in the production of this patched-together gothic horror, starring a fresh-face Jack Nicholson, an elderly Boris Karloff, and "that guy" Dick Miller (who threatens to steal the whole movie at times!). Is it the janky mess all of those old public domain 50 movie DVD packs make us think it was, or did watching a fully restored version surprise the...

TMBDOS! Episode 312: "The Wild Angels" (1966) & "Deathsport" (1978).

Lee is joined this episode by his friend and fellow podcaster Cameron Scott to continue the podcast's extended look at Roger Corman-directed and produced films. This time out its two wildly different motorcycle films, the first being Corman's own "The Wild Angels" (1966), starring Peter Fonda, Nancy Sinatra, Bruce Dern and Diane Ladd as members of a violent, and unfortunately, quite rapey chapter of the Hells Angels. Then it's David Carradine and Claudia Jennings in the spiritual sequel to "Deat...

TMBDOS! Episode 311: "Frankenstein Unbound" (1990).

Lee and Leah are joined by friends and fellow podcasters Matt (from Movie Melt) and Vaughn (from Motion Picture Massacre) to talk about the last film Roger Corman directed, 1990's "Frankenstein Unbound", an adaptation of Brian Aldiss' 1973 novel.

TMBDOS! Episode 310: "It Conquered the World" (1956) & "Battle Beyond the Stars" (1980).

Lee and Daniel kick-off an extended series on films either directed by (or in some way overseen by) the late Roger Corman. This time out it's the somewhat shoddy, but fun alien invasion flick "It Conquered the World" (1956), staring Lee Van Cleef and a very game Beverly Garland. Then they tackle the biggest swing Corman had made towards a mainstream sci-fi picture, with his "Magnificent Seven" in space film "Battle Beyond the Stars" (1980). Lots of ground is covered in this one, so round up your...

TMBDOS! Episode 309: "Opera" (1987).

Lee is joined this episode by his friends Greg and Nick to cover Dario Argento's "Opera" (1987). Many seem to think this is the last great Argento film. Is it, or is it an illogical mess, where it's clear Argento had started to slip as a director? Do crows actually seek revenge? All of this and more, including what the hosts have watched as of late is covered. Also, as Nick is a first-time guest, he gets to play the Movie God Game.

Blood on the Tracks Episode 75: 1970s Crime and Thrillers Part 2.

Lee finally gets around to doing a follow-up to the very first episode of Blood on the Tracks: music from 1970s crime and thriller films. Lee was short for time this month, so that equals less talking from him and much more music. It's a win-win! --Suite from "Darker than Amber" (1970) --John Parker --Theme from The Anderson Tapes from "The Anderson Tapes" (1971) --Quincy Jones --Taxi in the Rain (Parish Priest; Eddies Dead) & Office Scuffle (Kenilworth Heist; Casino Heist) from "The Outfit"...

TMBDOS! Intermission #48: Wolf Prom.

There is no regular episode this time out, yet again, but Lee had time to talk about two films he screened for friends a couple of days previous to recording; those being Joe Dante's "The Howling (1981) & the Bruce Pittman-directed, in-name-only sequel to "Prom Night", "Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II" (1987).

TMBDOS! Episode 308: "Persepolis" (2007).

In this episode Lee and Leah tackle an animated feature: the often funny, but ultimately pretty heavy and harrowing "Persepolis" (2007). This film, written and directed by Marjane Satrapi & Vincent Paronnaud, adapts Satrapi's striking graphic novel about her life growing up in Iran, and later France, in the wake of the Iranian Revolution. The hosts also talk about what they've watched as of late, including thoughts on the new "Fallout" tv series. "Persepolis" IMDB Featured Music: "The Eye of...
