TMBDOS! Episode 242: ”Creature with the Atom Brain” (1955).

This week Lee and Leah have promised to live to see you die, and they will. Well, not really, but there's a lot of that sort of thing going on in Edward L. Cahn's radioactive monster thriller "Creature with the Atom Brain" (1955). The hosts discuss just how effective this low budget sci-fi horror film is. Do they get radiation right? Does it matter? Early squib work; shitty grenades; questionable Italian gangsters; huge lobotomy scars; and just who is Dick Cutting? All of this and more, as well as what the hosts have watched recently, and they read and respond to some recent YouTube comments. We may not look like Buchanan but we are him!

TMBDOS! Episode 241: ”Siege” (1983).

Lee is joined this episode by his friend and fellow podcaster Vaughn Kuhlmeier to chat about an underseen Canadian exploitation film, "Siege" (1983), directed by Paul Donovan. Set in, and shot on location in Halifax, Nova Scotia (Lee's home province), some Canadian history surrounding the premise for the film, and some silly East Coast-isms are pointed out by Lee. Police brutality and corruption come up as they talk about the differences between American and Canadian police, and the obvious influences of John Carpenter's "Assault on Precinct 13" on this film. Vaughn also covers what he's been watching recently. So sit back, fortify your home from Canadian fascists, crack open a bottle of smooth Hermit's wine, and listen-in.
