TMBDOS! Episode 296: ”Maniac” (1980).

Lee is joined this episode by his friend Matt from the Movie Melt Podcast to have a fun talk about the William Lustig-directed "Maniac" (1980), written by and starring the amazing (and very sweaty) Joe Spinell, and co-starring the beautiful Caroline Munro. The film being Spinell's passion project; porn star casting; sleazy New York; the 2012 remake; and exploding heads are just a few of the things brought up in the conversation. The hosts also talk about what they've watched recently and respond to listener comments. Join us, won't you? We're goin' to a showdown. Put on something nice, just in case you die!

Check out Matt's great podcast, Movie Melt!
