TMBDOS! Intermission #45: ”Nightmare Beach” (1989).

Lee and Paul are back for another bonus episode, this time covering Umberto Lenzi's (maybe) spring break slasher film "Nightmare Beach" (1989), featuring John Saxon and Michael Parks. Who actually directed it? Does a mash-up of 1980s sex comedy and 1980s slasher work? All this and more, so why not hitch a ride on our electric motorcycle?

TMBDOS! Intermission #44: ”My Bloody Valentine” (1981).

Lee and Paul have a talk about a classic slasher shot in Lee's home province of Nova Scotia, "My Bloody Valentine" (1981), directed by George Mihalka. Much of the talk revolves around the restored gore scenes that were cut from the original release, how this film speaks to both Lee and Paul as Canadian and American East coast boys respectively, and the small town East coast economic realities the film may or may not be directly commenting on. And, of course, there's just a lot of geeking-out about how good a slasher it is in general. You could say they mined a lot from this one. Get it? They dug deep? Okay, we'll see ourselves out.

TMBDOS! Intermission #43: The Last Voyage of the Nightbeast Menu.

Plans for a regular episode this week were put on hold, so Lee decided to put out an intermission, briefly talking about seven films he recently watched. The films he talks about are:
"Ms. 45" (1981)"The Menu" (2022)"The Last Voyage of the Demeter" (2023)"Dark of the Sun" (1968)"The Tower" (1993)"I Come in Peace" (1990)"Nightbeast" (1982)

TMBDOS! Intermission #42: ”Brainscan” (1994).

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.

TMBDOS! Intermission #41: ”The Beast with Five Fingers” (1946).

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.

TMBDOS! Intermission #40: ”The Oracle” (1985).

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.

TMBDOS! Intermission #39: Lee’s Been Watching Too Much Lately.

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.

TMBDOS! Intermission #38: ”Death Screams” (1982).

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!

TMBDOS! Intermission #37: ”The Astounding She-Monster” (1957).

Lee & Paul are back together to cover the Z-grade sci-fi film "The Astounding She-Monster" (1957), directed by Ronald V. Ashcroft. This semi-forgotten, low-budget shlock about a sexy radioactive space alien has some interesting aspects to it, including the possibility of the titular star, Shirley Kilpatrick, faking her death to make a better film career for herself as Shirley Stoler!

TMBDOS! Intermission #36: ”The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms” (1953).

In this latest Intermission episode Lee and Leah are back together to talk about one of the first (if not the actual first) atomic monster films from the 1950s, "The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms" (1953), directed by Eugène Lourié. Much of the conversation revolves around the fantastic Ray Harryhausen special effects work and if the rest of the movie manages to live up to that. How is this both not based on a Ray Bradbury story, but kind of is at the same time? What the hell is Lee Van Cleef doing here? Why does Leah's cat keep butting in on the recording? All this and more. Listen before the Rhedosaurus destroys the podcast like it was some lighthouse or a diving bell!

TMBDOS! Intermission #34: "Promising Young Woman" (2020).

Despite the subject matter, Lee & Leah try to keep in good spirits while having a pretty serious chat about a very different rape/revenge film, in Emerald Fennell's "Promising Young Woman" (2020).

TMBDOS! Intermission #33: Lee Talks About Six New Films.

Lee, Leah and Paul return for another Intermission episode to talk about the sequel to "The Abominable Dr. Phibes", "Dr. Phibes Rises Again" (1972). Find out how the hosts thought this bolder, bloodier, and much more campy sequel stacks up to the original.

TMBDOS! Intermission #31: "The Abominable Dr. Phibes" (1971).

TMBDOS! Intermission #30: "Multiple Maniacs" (1970).

Lee and Leah check out a film Leah suggested for the podcast - and a film that is a shameful blind spot in Lee's trash movie viewing - "Multiple Maniacs" (1970). It's John Waters' first talkie, and features the incomparable talents and screen presence of Divine. Is it too transgressive for its time? Is it too tame these days? Should it be embraced by the LGBTQ community despite some of the less PC content? What's a rosary job? Tune in to find out.

TMBDOS! Intermission #29: Lee and Paul's Top 20 Slasher Films.

Lee and Paul sat down in October of 2020 to talk about their top 20 slasher films, along with honourable mentions and the like. This is not up to our usual low standards. It sort of went off the rails at times, and the sound quality isn't great (which is why it took so long for Lee to release it). But hey, if you've got an hour and change to kill, this might do the trick.

TMBDOS! Intermission #28: "Blood Song" (1982) & "Mortuary" (1983).

Lee and Paul got back together to record some bonus horror content for October. This time out they review the two slasher films "Blood Song" (1982) & "Mortuary" (1983). This one is off the cuff, mostly unedited, and a bit dog-eared, but the conversation is a fun one. Due to some recording issues the mic levels were not able to be properly balanced, so it's best to use ear buds. Sorry about that.

TMBDOS! Intermission #27: "Fuckin' Up".

Lee and Daniel intended to record a regular episode on "Strange Days" (1995), but technology conspired against them long enough that they decided to give up and just record an intermission, where you'll get to hear a bit of their fumbling with tech live, and then they move into a very casual chat about some tv and movies they've been watching, among other things. It's essentially just what happens off-air when they record every week, so don't expect too much.
Featured Music: Excerpt from the score for "Confessions of a Sex Maniac" (1974) & "Fuckin' Up" by Neil Young.

TMBDOS! Intermission #26: "The Final Terror" (1983) & "Superstition" (1982).

It's time for another intermission episode, as Lee is joined by Paul to talk about two somewhat obscure slasher films that spent a lot of time on the shelf before getting anything approaching a proper release. First up it's the killer-in-the-woods slasher "The Final Terror" (1983), featuring a lot of future stars, and then they check out the supernatural slasher "Superstition" (1982), featuring a bunch of people who went nowhere after their work on the film.
