TMBDOS! Episode 255: ”Out of the Dark” (1988).

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. The hosts also talk about what they've watched recently. So, pick up the phone, because we're ready to have a good time with you.
