Monday Jan 24, 2022
Leah and Leah are back for an Intermission episode to cover a lesser-known slasher film from 1982, the David Nelson-directed "Death Screams". Is this rural slasher, full to the brim with red herrings and extended sequences at a county fair, one rightfully forgotten, or is it a hidden gem? The hosts go back and forth weighing the good and the bad, including the quality of the respective versions of the film they each watched. Come listen, just don't lose your head over it!

Lee and Leah are back to gush over a film they love. This week they look at 2015's post-apocalyptic love letter and send-up "Turbo Kid", written and directed by the trio of François Simard, Anouk & Yoann-Karl Whissell. Topics discussed include comparisons to "Mad Max" and other similar films, as well as the "Fallout" video game series; if the film uses it's 1980s aesthetic too much or just right; the over-the-top practical effects work; and if the character of Apple is a manic pixie dream girl or not. The hosts also talk about what they've watched as of late. Cover your eyes, throat and genitals, and take a listen!

Blood on the Tracks Episode 51: Those Fab Fake Musical Acts.
Friday Dec 31, 2021
Friday Dec 31, 2021
The cursed year that was 2021 has come to an end and Lee felt like going out on a more positive note. In this mega-sized episode he's compiled a list of tracks from fictional bands and musical artists that have appeared in films. Lots of research went into this one, as Lee tries to give credit where credit is due to the people behind the fictional acts. Be it totally made up acts, parody acts that came before their film debuts, or if they actually formed later on in real life, Lee tries to cover a little of everything. He found that there's still many he could cover in later episodes, so he just might. Happy New Year, and thanks for the continued support of the show!
