Lee is back with his second part of his look at his favourite selections from the soundtracks and scores for the filmography of Quentin Tarantino, this time covering "Death Proof" to "Once Upon a Time in America". As Tarantino went forward his soundtracks got larger and larger, so this ended up being an even bigger episode than part one, even with Lee trying his best to restrain himself with his picks.

Blood on the Tracks Episode 64: Quentin Tarantino Part 1.
Sunday Apr 30, 2023
Sunday Apr 30, 2023
Regardless of if you like the work of Quentin Tarantino or not, it can not be denied that he curates killer soundtracks for his films. Much like how he borrows visually and thematically from the films of the past to create his own unique film architecture, he often layers in music from other films in other to do much the same. Sometimes the music is there just to accent a scene and make it cooler, sometimes it's a deeper meta reference. Sometimes it just doesn't work at all, but nobody always hits the target all the time. With the announcement that Tarantino is working on his (according to him) tenth and final film, "The Movie Critic", Lee decided it was time to look back at his body of work as it stands right now, and choose the tracks from his filmography that he loves best. Because there's so much to dig into, this will be part one of a two part series of super-sized episodes.

TMBDOS! Episode 281: ”Little Rita of the West”/”Crazy Westerners” (1967).
Tuesday Mar 21, 2023
Tuesday Mar 21, 2023
Lee is joined by friends and fellow podcasters Vaughn Kuhlmeier & Mike Wood to talk about an odd-ball 1967 Spaghetti Western/Musicarello film, Directed by Ferdinando Baldi, "Little Rita of the West", or as it's also known as: "Crazy Westerners", starring tiny Italian pop sensation Rita Pavone, and a then mostly unknown (but soon to be quite well-known) Terrence Hill. Much of the conversation revolves around Pavone's career and performance in this film, and how well a musical is actually pulled off in the trappings of the Spaghetti Western. Other things talked about include: free boxes of chicken; frozen pizzas; energy drinks; Vaughn's Tubi ritual; and an Italian rating system for films using the size of the Pope's boner. All that and what the hosts have watched recently is also covered. So why not sing along with us as we try and destroy all the world's gold for Gordon Mitchell in red face?
Check out Vaughn's podcasts, Motion Picture Massacre, and Wanted: Alive or Preferably Dead.

Lee and Leah are joined by two special guests in this episode. Mike and Bobby from The Grindbin Podcast stop by to help dig into the late-period, existential Franco Nero Spaghetti Western "Keoma", directed by Enzo G. Castellari. Things brought up: Is this the last great pasta cowboy picture? "Coolman Keoma"; Why is Jared Leto in this?; Who is the worst Italian on the episode - Leah or Mike?; Lee is old; Italian Donald Sutherland; Keoma is kind of an asshole; and yes, the soundtrack is definitely talked about. The hosts also talk about what they've watched as of late. Come in and listen, and don't mind the folk singer narrating your life.

Lee is back with the second part of his look into the scores and soundtrack work of the prolific brothers Guido & Maurizio De Angelis, AKA: Oliver Onions. In this episode he had his work cut out for him, as the brothers seemingly worked non-stop in the mid-to-late 1970s.

Monday Apr 12, 2021
Lee, Paul and Leah return to take a look at the horror-infused Spaghetti Western "Django the Bastard" (1969), starring prolific Italian genre actor Anthony Steffen in the titular role of Django. The conversation revolves around the legitimacy of the unofficial Django films; how much of an effective horror film this actually is; if the Django in this film is undead or just really clever; and Leah's reaction and thoughts on watching her first pasta cowboy film, and why her mother may very well be the worst Italian for never cluing her in on their existence. The hosts also briefly talk about what they've watched as of late.

Lee is back with some lesser known misfits, outright strangers - and, of course, a few well-known - selections from Cowboy Pasta scores that are not from Ennio Morricone. Lee also reads some comments from someone whose work has been featured on a past episode of BotT! There's probably too much talking on this one. Sorry about that.

Even if someone has never watched an Italian Western, there's at least a good chance they've heard the soundtrack or score from one. While Lee has featured some tracks from Italian Westerns before on the show, he's never done a dedicated look at the genre. This will be part one of three shows attempting to cover the scope of music that came from the Italian Westerns. Episode one is focused on selections that have vocalists on the tracks singing a song of some sort (note: the typical chorus of unintelligible chanting found on many Italian Western scores does not count in this case). As mentioned before, in some cases, you'll encounter a track that has been featured on a previous episode, but the majority of these shows will be featuring new material. Also, although he states on the episode that he was trying to keep this episode within the usual confines of an hour runtime, he quickly discovered the folly of that, as there is too much great music to play. Expect all of the episodes in this series to be as long as they have to be.

TMBDOS! Episode 163: "Companeros" (1970).
Monday May 13, 2019
Monday May 13, 2019
The whole crew is together in this episode to talk about Sergio Corbucci's follow-up (and - let's face it - remake) of "The Mercenary", "Companeros" (1970). Nero is back playing another handsome, smooth-talking European mercenary. Jack Palance is back playing his rival again, but now he's got a wooden hand, smoking lots of wacky tobaccy cigarettes, and having conversations with his pet falcon. And then there's Tomas Milian, looking like Che Guevara, and threatening to steal the entire film out from under everyone's feet! Listener comments and a bunch of rambling, drunken asides abound in this one (including Paul's issues with Jack Palance in real life), so why not join the revolution?

This week Lee and Daniel continue down the dusty western trail with Sergio Corbucci's "The Mercenary" (1968). The balance of political and social themes in this Zapata spaghetti western with the out-right action and buddy comedy elements are discussed, as well as how this stands up to Leone's work. Jack Palance's naked ass, possible poly-triads, what the hosts have watched, and listener comments are also covered.

This week Lee and Paul are here to talk about the Italian Western/Martial Arts mash-up "The Fighting Fists of Shanghai Joe" (1973), directed by Mario Caiano. Can these two genres work together? Racist slurs? Quality dentures in the old west? Bloody violence? Klaus Kinski? All of this and more, as well as a listener comment and a couple of recent watches from Paul are talked about.

It's finally here, the cap-off to the first serious look into Spaghetti Westerns on the podcast. This week Lee, Daniel and Paul take a look at an undisputed masterpiece of both the genre and just film itself. On deck is Sergio Leone's "Once Upon a Time in the West" from 1968. Of course, not every scrap of detail can be covered, especially when Lee wants to fit a bunch of music from the classic soundtrack in as well, but a lot of stuff is talked about, and we don't think you'll be let down, listeners.

Lee, Daniel and Paul are back to tackle one of the greatest films in the Spaghetti Western genre (and one of the most depressing), in Sergio Corbucci's "The Great Silence". Listener comments and what they've watched as of late are also briefly touched upon in this briefer than usual episode. Make no mistake, however: a lot is discussed in regards to the film itself.

Featured Music: "Barbara e Tagliente" & "Il Grande Silenzio (Restless)" by Ennio Morricone.

In this installment of the podcast's Spaghetti Western series, Daniel and Paul each have a separate conversation with Lee about three non-Leone Lee Van Cleef outings. Covered in this episode are "Death Rides a Horse" (1967); "Sabata" (1969); and "The Grand Duel" (1972). Besides just going on about what a badass Van Cleef is in these films, common tropes and themes between the three films are talked about, and the general trends of the twilight years of the genre. A lot is talked about and there's a bit more music than usual, so this is a long one. Strap yourselves in, kids.
