Lee and Daniel attempt to discover the clues of the third and latest Rian Johnson "Knives Out" film, "Wake Up Dead Man" (2025). Locked-room mysteries, religion, and acid baths are just a couple of things brought up in this one. The hosts also talk about what they've watched as of late. Watch out for possible Knife Robots, and help us solve this one!

Lee is joined by Daeron Wilson to talk about two films from 1987 that seemingly destroyed Alex Cox's mainstream credibility. First up it's the crazed, surreal, punk rock spaghetti western parody "Straight to Hell"; then they turn their attention to a bio picture unlike any other: "Walker". Were these movies the pieces of garbage most critics seemed to think they were back then, or was Alex Cox just WAY ahead of his time. Hint: it was the latter. The hosts also talk about what they've watched recently. So bring your gang into our dusty little town, have a few drinks, a few laughs, and maybe you'll join us in a bit of innocent imperialism.

Lee and Daniel are joined by returning guest Cameron Sullivan to continue their look into post-Tarantino (and frankly, at this point, post-Ritchie) crime films, with Joe Carnahan's "Smokin' Aces" (2006).

Lee and Daniel continue to pull on the post-Tarantino thread by checking out Paul McGuigan's "Lucky Number Slevin" (2006). This twist-heavy crime picture, featuring the talents of Josh Hartnett, Lucy Liu, Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, and Ben Kingsley, just to name a few, has to be good right? RIGHT?? Lee also talks about some recent watches.

Lee and Daniel tug a bit more on the post-Tarantino thread with Doug Liman's "Go" (1999), which features a stellar cast of up-and-comers, and all the "Pulp Fiction" riffing you could hope for. But is it any good? The hosts also talk about what they've watched as of late. Helps us rip-off a low-level drug dealer and party at a late-90s rave, or you could just be lame and pick up another shift at the grocery store. Your choice.

Lee and Daniel are joined by friend and fellow podcaster Gary Hill to pick up on a thread they want to pull after talking about "Seven Psychopaths" last week: post Tarantino films. This week they check out "Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead" (1995), directed by Gary Fleder. Is it as bad as its reputation would lead you to believe? The host also talk about what they've watched as of late. Come have some boat drinks with us, just don't get the dreaded buckwheat.

Lee and Daniel get a little crazy this week as they talk about Martin McDonagh's "Seven Psychopaths" (2012). A meta commentary on the post-Tatantino crime film, and really just how films are made in general, it features an amazing cast, and the hosts have a lot to dig into this week. Also, in relation to the last episode on "The Spook Who Sat by the Door" (episode 363), the hosts respond to a blog post that makes a good case that the film had some deceptive myth-making behind it from the writer of the source material, Sam Greenlee. Also, Lee talks about what he's been watching as of late. Come out to the desert with us for a shoot-out... or maybe just some deep conversations about violence and redemption.

Lee and Daniel are joined by returning guest Matt Anderson to follow up on their episode covering "Panic in the Streets" (episode 341), by talking about Earl McEvoy's "The Killer That Stalked New York" (1950), which was released later in the same year as "Panic..." and largely covers the same subject matter. Is this a cheap rip-off or cash-in, or is this one worth checking out? One of our podcast girlfriends pops up, in the always wonderful Dorothy Malone, but does she get anything to do? The hosts also spiral into a bunch of asides and talk about what they've watched recently. Get your vaccinations, and try not to put your mouth on public fountains while you listen!

Russ Meyer loved women. Women with big boobs, big curves, and big personalities. His entire career was all about putting his fetishes on screen in nudie cuties, dramas, crime films, mondo movies, sex comedies, and any other sort of exploitation film he could get away with, often all in the same film!

Pakula's paranoid thriller based on the book about the Watergate investigation, "All the President's Men" (1976), and Barry Levinson's slice of American baseball mythology, "The Natural" (1984). One of these films does the leg work and checks it sources, while the other strikes out badly. The hosts also talk about what they've watched recently. Batter up!

Lee is excited to welcome first time guest host Richard Glenn Schmidt, of Hello! This is the Doomed Show, joining him to cover Ferdinando Baldi's early Eurocrime "The Godfather"/"Bullitt"/"The French Connection" cash-in "The Sicilian Connection" (1972), starring Ben Gazzara. Does this set a benchmark for Eurocrime going forward in the decade or did the genre leave this behind? Is this just a Mondo Cane documentary about how to run the opium trade from a Turkish poppy field to the streets of New York? All of this, and more, including the hosts geeking out over Euro genre film in general and talking about what they've watched as of late. Also, because it is his first time on the show, Richard gets to play the Beyond Belief: Movie Fact or Fiction game, with Jonathan Frakes! Mafia Dons, lock up your wives and daughters, TMBDOS! has enough cream to go around for them in this episode!

Lee and Daniel are joined by friend and previous guest host Matt Anderson to tackle two films from the 1950s with some surprising similarities. First up they try not to catch the plague as they talk about Elia Kazan's "Panic in the Streets" (1950), starring Richard Widmark and a debuting Jack Palance. Then they try to keep the Earth from being blown apart in Fred F. Sears' "The Night the World Exploded" (1957), starring the lovely Kathryn Grant. It's a super-sized episode this week, but if you have three hours to kill, this might be the podcast injection you need!

In this episode Lee and Daniel tackle two films that have nothing to do with each other, but Daniel wanted to talk about them. First off it's a fairly breezy conversation about the Finnish "kill all the Nazis" WW2 action film "Sisu" (2022), directed by Jalmari Helander. Then they cover the film Apple decided to buy and then abuse like its red-headed stepchild, "Wolfs" (2024), directed by Jon Watts. What Lee has watched as of late is also talked about.

Lee is joined by friends and returning guest hosts Robby and Wick to cover John Flynn's "The Outfit" (1973), starring Robert Duvall, Karen Black, and the recently departed Joe Don Baker. Being one of several adaptations of a book in the popular "Parker" series of crime novels, the hosts ponder the virtues of Donald Westlake's more matter-of-fact blue collar criminal world, and the hard-nosed professionals he populated it with. The hosts also discuss recent watches, which mostly focuses on 30+ year old television this time around.

This Week Lee and Daniel are yet again joined by friend Jack Graham to cap off the extended look into both Gene Hackman and 1990s thrillers with Peter Hyams' remake of "The Narrow Margin" (1952), "Narrow Margin" (1990). Does this train ride take too long or does it have one hell of a sexy caboose? The host's also talk about what they've watched as of late.
