TMBDOS! Episode 280: ”Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” (2022).

Lee is joined by the returning Daniel Harper to cover the Rian Johnson-directed "Glass Onion" (2022). How does this second of the Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) mysteries stack up to the original "Knives Out"? Netflix money and Netflix's lack of a home video division; Foghorn Leghorn; Edward Norton being a jerk; stupid people that everyone thinks are smart; and mysteries within mysteries are just a few of the things touched upon, along with what the hosts have watched recently. NOTE: Daniel's sound quality is a tad off here due to being forced to do the show through his phone.

TMBDOS! Episode 277: ”The Shadow” (1994).

Lee, Leah, and special guest Matt Anderson discover if the weed of crime indeed does bear bitter fruit, when they talk about "The Shadow" (1994), directed by Russell Mulcahy, and starring Alec Baldwin. Matt, being a big fan of old pulp stories and radio dramas, as well as a lover and writer of comic books, helps bring a lot of context and background to both The Shadow himself, including his many different origins over the years, and how this film tries to merge them together, and overall how it fits in the wake of the success of the Tim Burton Batman films. It turns out to be a fun, in-depth talk about an imperfect, but unfairly overlooked film. The hosts also talk about what they've watched lately.

TMBDOS! Episode 260: ”Sugar Cookies” (1973).

Lee and Leah are teasing their cinematic sweet tooth this week when they bite into the sexy thriller "Sugar Cookies" (1973), directed by Theodore Gershuny, and co-written by future head of Troma, Lloyd Kaufman. Does this otherwise low-budget and poorly-made film have anything to offer other than the lovely nude bodies of the stars Mary Woronov and Lynn Lowry? Is this the progenitor of the sexy thrillers we'd see twenty years later on late night cable and direct-to-video VHS? Is it deserving of the "X" rating it originally got? Who the fuck is "Gus" and why the hell are we following him out of nowhere? Also, Leah has some rants this week and the host respond to comments (including one that's critical of one of our episodes) and talk about what they've watches as of late.

The conversation revolves around where Scorsese was career-wise at this point; the ages of the actors compared to the ages of their real-life counterparts; brilliant performances; brilliant shots; violence; pasta sauce; the realities of the wiseguy lifestyle; wigs; and just what a flipper disc was, among a lot of other topics. Also, the hosts play another round of the IMDB Stattogories game and talk about what they've watched recently. Now, grab your fucking shine box and give us a listen.

This week Lee and Leah and joined by their friend and fellow podcaster Gary Hill to talk about the underseen "Out of the Dark" (1988), directed by Michael Schroeder, and featuring a bunch of "that guy" character actors getting a chance to strut their stuff. Does this late-period slasher film about a deranged john in a clown mask, stalking the phone sex workers he harasses, have anything worth talking about when the genre itself was all but dead at that point? Other topics brought up: phone sex lines; commercials for phone sex lines; late night commercials in general, and how television just went off the air back in the day; Paul Bartel in a bad wig; and Divine's last role.

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.

TMBDOS! Episode 239: "Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon" (1942).

Lee and Leah return this episode with a trip back to the Rathbone/Bruce Sherlock Holmes series, taking a look at "Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon" (1942), directed by Roy William Neill, picked to be covered by special guest host on this episode, Matt Anderson. Much of the conversation revolves around the otherwise straight-forward plot and the changes made to Holmes after Universal picked up the series from Fox. Is 1940s spy-smasher Holmes a total betrayal to the source material, or is it a cool tweaking of the character? Is Bruce's Dr. Watson unfairly shat upon? Does the series do Dr. Moriarty justice as well? What's with the size of British pound notes? Also, Matt gets to play the Movie God Game, and the hosts all talk about what they've watched as of late in a slightly longer episode than usual.

Lee and Leah get into the mind of the criminal element when they cover the Anatole Litvak-directed, and John Huston-written crime & comedy film, "The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse" (1938).
