TMBDOS! Intermission #16.

No regular episode this week, so Lee tries to come up with something to talk about in an intermission episode. Mostly it's just commercials and music. Can't win them all.

Lovecraft Literary Podcast Featured Music: "Bikini Girls with Machine Guns" by Rantanplan; "Bound" by the Ponderosa Twins Plus One & "Hold Tight" by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich.

TMBDOS! Episode 86: "Midnight" (1982) & "Don't Go in the House" (1979).

Finally sitting down to do an episode that was planned months beforehand, Lee and Paul chat about John Russo's "Midnight" (1982) & Joseph Ellison's "Don't Go in the House" (1979). Paul also chats a bit about his time attending the 2016 Living Dead Weekend and the people he talked to at the event, including Russo himself. This one is pretty loose and lacking fucks, as both hosts are drunk, but it's generally a pretty fun conversation, and they do try to review the films. What more can you ask for on a free podcast? NOTHING! That's what. "Midnight" IMDB "Don't Go in the House" IMDB The Living Dead Weekend The Living Dead Museum Featured Music: "Midnight" by Quintessence & "Fire" by Arthur Brown.

TMBDOS! Episode 85: "L.A. Confidential" (1997).

Lee and Daniel start off 2017 by looking at Curtis Hanson's epic 1950s crime picture "L.A. Confidential" (1997). A lot of time is spent talking about the characters, the way the action is shot, and if the film is a truly a noir or not. They also talk about the differences between the film and the James Ellroy novel of the same name, that it was adapted from. Also covered: what they've watched as of late (WARNING: there's some "Rogue One" spoilers) and a good deal of listener comments are read and responded to. "L.A. Confidential" IMDB Featured Music: "The Victor" by Jerry Goldsmith & "The Wheel Of Fortune" by Kay Starr.
