TMBDOS! Episode 118: "Alien Nation" (1988).
Monday Mar 19, 2018
Monday Mar 19, 2018
Lee and Daniel are back after a short two-week hiatus to tackle 1988's "Alien Nation". Does it hold up? Does it do a good job of getting across the points it's trying to make, or did it take the one season of television and five tv films to fully explore its concept? Why is James Caan part of Lee's sexual awakening? All of this is covered, listener comments, and what we've watched lately as well.

Friday Mar 02, 2018
Friday Mar 02, 2018
In this episode Lee decided to play some selections from his favourite westerns (part 2 coming next episode). Lee tried really, really hard not to let Italian westerns take over this first playlist. He really did.

TMBDOS! Episode 117: "Repo Man" (1984).
Tuesday Feb 27, 2018
Tuesday Feb 27, 2018
It's more 1980s; it's more sci-fi, but with some punk rockers, a latino militant rebel group, Harry Dean Stanton, and lots of generic groceries! Yup, it's time for Lee and Daniel to check out Alex Cox's Repo Man from 1984. Lee starts off fairly intoxicated and just gets worse, but the conversation is as fun as hell. Listener comments and what the hosts have listened to are also covered.

Lee and Daniel are back, continuing on their (mostly) 1980s sci-fi theme to cover 1986's "Short Circuit" and the sequel from 1988 "Short Circuit 2". Then they jump into the 1990s to phreak-out with the cult classic "Hackers" (1995). There's a surprising amount of talk about the background of the hacker culture, and a lot of asides about all three films, including Lee's take on what "Short Circuit 2" should have actually been about. What they've watched as of late and a larger than usual amount of listener comments are read and responded to in an already longer-than-usual episode.

Continuing with a short series on mostly weird 1980s (and possibly some 1990s) sci-fi, Lee and Daniel tackle two more mainstream examples in "Innerspace" and "Batteries Not Included", both from 1987. Listener comments and what they've watched lately are also covered.

Blood on the Tracks Episode 10: The Hammer Scores of James Bernard.
Wednesday Jan 31, 2018
Wednesday Jan 31, 2018
This time out on Blood on the Tracks Lee found himself busy and hurting for a topic before the month came to a close. He happened to be watching "Taste the Blood of Dracula" and a subject for the episode came to mind: the Hammer scores of James Bernard. At times his pieces were big and bombastic, at other times subtle and creepy, and even flowery and romantic, thus he envoked both power and foreboding meanace, as well as heart to the classic films he scored. Due to time constraints and sourcing issues, the majority of this playlist will feature mostly the main title tracks of these films and suites that Lee didn't have a complete track listings for.
Playlist:
--"The Quatermass Xperiment" (1955) --Excerpts from "X: The Unknown" (1956) --"Quatermass 2" (1957) --"The Curse of Frankenstein" (1957) --Main Titles and The Legend of the Hound from "The Hound of the Baskervilles" (1959) --Excerpts from "The Terror of the Tongs" (1961) --Excerpts from "These Are the Damned", including Black Leather Rock (1962) --"Kiss of the Vampire" (1963) --"The Gorgon" (1964) --"She" (1965) --"Frankenstein Created Woman" (1967) --"The Devil Rides Out" (1968) --"Taste the Blood of Dracula" (1970) --Finale and End Credits from "Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell" (1974) --"The Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires" (1974) --"The Horror of Dracula" (1958)

Monday Jan 22, 2018
Lee and Daniel kick off a series looking at (mostly) 1980s sci-fi with two odd-ball entries into the genre, those being the obscure "Radioactive Dreams" (1985) and the cable tv staple "Cherry 2000" (1987). Listener comments and what they've watched as of late are also covered.

Monday Jan 08, 2018
Lee and Daniel kick off 2018 with the western/noir "Bad Day at Black Rock" (1955), directed by John Sturges. The boundries Sturges pushes against with the material relative to the time the film was made are discussed, as well as just what an amazing collection of talent is shown on screen. Also covered: a listener comment (sort of) and a lengthy discussion about what they've watched as of late (the actual film review starts about a half hour into the episode).

Blood on the Tracks Episode 9: It's Cold Outside.
Sunday Dec 31, 2017
Sunday Dec 31, 2017
The holiday season is here and it's getting bloody cold around these parts as winter finally sets in. At first Lee wanted to build a playlist around Christmas films, but he decided that was a bit too obvious and lame. After asking the TMBDOS! listeners what they wanted, he settled on movies set during the winter time that were not focused on the holidays. Although mostly focused on horror, there are some nice surprises here as well.
Playlist:
--Midnight, the Stars and You from "The Shining" (1980) -- Ray Noble and His Orchestra --Buster's Last Stand from "Misery" (1990) -- Marc Shaiman --Main Title from "Dreamcatcher" (2003) -- James Newton Howard --Pennsylvania Polka from "Groundhog Day" (1993) -- Frank Yankovic --The Bloody Fruits of Barrow from "30 Days of Night" (2007) -- Brian Reitzell --Giving Up from "Let the Right One In" (2008) -- Johan Söderqvist --Past, Present - Future? from "Runaway Train" (1985) -- Trevor Jones --Main Title & Mr. Otis/Charlie One Eye/Buffalo Rampage from "The White Buffalo" (1977) -- John Barry --Colqhoun's Story from "Ravenous" (1999) -- Damon Albarn & Michael Nyman --The Moon + A Change of Heart from "A Simple Plan" (1998) -- Danny Elfman --The Cemetery from "Batman Returns" (1992) -- Danny Elfman --Fargo, North Dakota from "Fargo" (1996) -- Carter Burwell --Humanity (Part 2) from "John Carpenter's The Thing" (1982) -- Ennio Morricone --Passaggi Nel Tempo from "The Great Silence" (1968) -- Ennio Morricone

TMBDOS! Episode 111: "Stagecoach" (1939).
Monday Dec 25, 2017
Monday Dec 25, 2017
Lee and Dan are continuing down the classic western film trail with what many consider to be the film that really breathed new life into, and also elevated the western genre from 'B' grade to 'A'. This episode it's John Ford's "Stagecoach" (1939). They talk about if it truly is a classic, how it made John Wayne a star, and the influences it had on films to come after it. Also covered: listener comments and what they've watched as of late.
Note: there were some audio issues when this was recorded. Lee has managed to edit around most of them, but at times the conversation might feel a tad disjointed, and a few sports of audio break-up might be heard. Sadly, it's also about ten minutes shorter than it originally was.

Monday Dec 18, 2017
All three hosts are back for this episode to give what might be both their most interesting and insightful yet drunkenly chaotic episode of TMBDOS! Starting off a short series on classic westerns, Daniel, Paul, and Lee take a look at two early examples of revisionist westerns with "High Noon" (1953) & "3:10 to Yuma" (1957). Much of the discussion revolves around how similar the films are and which one is better. Of note, Daniel's reading on "High Noon" drastically changes Lee's opinions on the film. Listener comments are also covered. Saddle up, this one's a long and bumpy ride.

Blood on the Tracks Episode 8: Poliziotteschi.
Thursday Nov 30, 2017
Thursday Nov 30, 2017
Lee is back to dig into one of his favourite film genres of all time, especially when it come to soundtracks and scores: the Italian crime/Poliziotteschi film genre. Ultra violence, lurid sex, and all sorts of musical styles abound from these films, and Lee tried hard to trim down the playlist to some of his all-time favourite tracks. So load up your guns and take the law into your own hands as society breaks down around you, in corruption and violence. Can you come out the other end clean? Who cares when the music is this great? Note: at one point Lee credits "Death Proof" instead of "Death Wish" as an influence on the genre, and, of course, he butchers Italian pronounciations left and right. But you expected that, right?

This week the whole gang is back to take a look at William Friedkin's adaptation of "La Salaire de la Peur"/"The Wages of Fear", that being 1977's box office bomb "Sorcerer". Was it rightly dismissed back when it was released or did production problems and a little film called "Star Wars" kill the film's chances out of the gate?

Then he ends off sorting through his horror film collection and giving 12 humble suggestions for double feature watches for this Halloween night.
