They Must Be Destroyed On Sight!

TMBDOS! Episode 51: "The Long Goodbye" (1973).

This week Lee and Daniel begin an extended look at Noir and Neo-Noir films (and maybe a few standard crime films in-between) with the Robert Altman directed and Leigh Brackett-witten adaptation of Raymond Chandler's "The Long Goodbye" (1973). Also covered, a listener comment and what they've watched as of late. 
Featured Music: "The Long Goodbye" by John Williams and Johnny Mercer, performed by Jack Sheldon.

They Must Be Destroyed On Sight! Episode 50: George A. Romero's "Dawn of the Dead" (1978).

This is it, TMBDOS has finally made it to fifty official episodes, and now it's time for Lee, Daniel and Paul to tackle the film that provided this humble bit of audio nonsense its name and mascot. Yes, George A. Romero's zombie classic "Dawn of the Dead" is reviewed in exhausting detail, peppering in some music clips and sound bites for good measure. Sadly Paul could not join in on the recording during the planned Friday night, so after covering the film on that night, Lee and Daniel came back on Saturday night to continue the conversation with Paul. As a native of Pennsylvania, Paul has some unique insights about the production and what the film means to the local area and the people there to this day. Also covered: the film "Mystery Road" from 2013, that Daniel had recommended in last week's episode, which essentially turns into a mini review of its own. If you've got 2 hours and 43 minutes to kill, this episode might be for you. (Note: Due to the addition of musical cues, the actual conversation does not start until about seven minutes into the podcast).Featured Music: "L'alba Dei Morti Vivent", "Zombi", "Safari" by Goblin; "Cause I'm a Man" by The Pretty Things; and "The Gonk" from the De Wolfe Music Libary.

They Must Be Destroyed On Sight! Episode 49: Fritz Lang's "M" (1931).

Lee, Daniel and Paul are back this week to take a look at one of the least-disputed classics from the start of the talkies: Fritz Lang's "M" from 1931. A film with decades of scholarship and critical analysis behind it is a daunting task, but a fairly in-depth discussion is drawn from it, as well as the little-known 1951 American remake. They also discuss what they've watched, which spirals off into a few tangents, as usual.
Featured Music: "In the Hall of the Mountain King" by Edvard Grieg.

They Must Be Destroyed On Sight! Intermission #7.

Due to some real life issues, Lee could not put together a recording this week, so Daniel was cool enough to take the helm and record an intermission episode. Daniel briefly covers the movies and TV he's been watching in the last little while. Hopefully next week the entire gang will be back together for "M" from 1931.
Featured Music: "Electric Boogaloo" by Ollie & Jerry.

TMBDOS! Episode 48: ”Taste the Blood of Dracula” (1970) & ”Horror Express” (1972).

This week Lee and Daniel take a look at two interesting horror gems from the early 1970s. First off it's the fifth film in the Hammer Dracula cycle, 1970's "Taste the Blood of Dracula", directed by Peter Sasdy. Then they look at a film that has more than a little in common with John W. Campbell, Jr.'s "Who Goes There?" (better known by most from its other big screen adaptations "The Thing from Another World" and "John Carpenter's The Thing"). The film in question is the lesser known Spanish Hammer-like production, "Horror Express" from 1972, directed by Eugenio Martín. Also covered: what the hosts have watched in the last little while.Featured Music: "End Titles" by John Cacavas.

TMBDOS! Episode 47: ”She Killed in Ecstasy” & ”A Virgin Among the Living Dead”.

Lee, Daniel, and Paul are back for another visit with the films of Jess Franco as they take a look at 1971's erotic revenge film "She Killed in Ecstasy" and the much-abused sexed-up gothic horror "A Virgin Among the Living Dead", from 1973. Also covered: listener comments and what the hosts have watched as of late.

Featured Music: 
"Una Vergine Tra I Morti Viventi – Sequence 22" by Bruno Nicolai & "Kamasutra" by Manfred Hubler & Siegfred Schwab.

TMBDOS! Episode 46: The Best Things We Watched in 2015.

Lee and Daniel are back for the first episode of 2016 to run through the best stuff they watched for the first time in 2015 -- as well as a few stinkers and let-downs. Also covered: what they've watched in the last week or so and another round of the Movie God game.Featured Music: "Vicious Rat" & "Tequila Sunrise (OST version)" by Le Matos.

They Must Be Destroyed On Sight! Episode 45: "Zardoz" (1974).

Lee and Daniel are joined this week by Lee's friend from the online beer reviewing community on YouTube, Hugh, better known as the Beerzerker. This time out they are taking a look at John Boorman's 1974 sci-fi film "Zardoz", starring a half-naked Sean Connery. They dig deep under the layers of Connery's red diaper to explore the various themes and ideas the film is really dealing with, once you get past some of the visuals, that have sadly overshadowed the film thanks to the pseudo-MST3K crowd out there. Also covered: listener comments and what they've been watching as of late, featuring Lee's thoughts on "The Hateful Eight" screener that was recently leaked.8-Bit ZardozThe Beerzerker on YoutubeFeatured Music: "Zardoz (Beethoven Opus 92)" by Zzebra.

TMBDOS! Ep. 44: ”History of the World: Part I” (1981) & ”Dracula: Dead and Loving It” (1995).

This week Lee and Daniel are joined by Dan's wife Shana and their mutual friend Ryan to discuss two selections from the filmography of Mel Brooks. It seems to be the norm with this podcast to somewhat avoid the obvious films from any given director, and that theme is continued here as the start and end (so far) of the second half of Brooks' directing career are covered here in 1981's "History of the World: Part I", and "Dracula: Dead and Loving It" from 1995. What the hosts have been watching is also covered, but it focuses mostly on TV shows this time around. They also dive into a couple of listener comments.

They Must Be Destroyed On Sight! Episode 43: "Vampyros Lesbos" (1971).

A little late this week, but worth it: Lee, Daniel and Paul take a look at Jess Franco's 1971 erotic art house horror film "Vampyros Lesbos". They also do the usual and talk about what they've watched as of late and play a pretty fun round of Movie God."Queer Women in Horror" article on Bitch Media.Featured Music: "The Lions and the Cucumber" by Manfred Hübler & Siegfried Schwab.

They Must Be Destroyed On Sight! Episode 42: Holiday Films.

Lee is back with Daniel and Paul in what became a very long episode. The year is winding down, Halloween and Thanksgiving have just passed, and we are approaching Christmas and New Year's. So this time out the theme is a general chat about holiday films, that often goes off on lengthy asides. They also talk about what they've been watching as of late (which leads to more lengthy asides), and they bring back the Movie God Game. If you've got two and a half hours to kill, this might be for you.Pex Lives coverage of Amicus films.Featured Music: "I'm the One Who Gunned Santa Down" by Deadbolt & "The Gremlin Rag" by Jerry Goldsmith.

They Must Be Destroyed On Sight! Commentary #2: "Jive Turkey" (1974).

Lee and his brother Scott are back this week for another film commentary track for a film that otherwise probably would never get one. Join them as they watch Bill Brame's 1974 Blaxploitation diamond-in-the-rough "Jive Turkey". What's a better waste of you time than to watch a public domain Black gangster film, set in the 1950s, that's obviously filmed in 1974? How can you deny yourself a film that depicts the intense struggle for control of the numbers game, a psychotic tranny hit man, and so many N-bombs that you'll no doubt have to feel white guilt for the rest of your life? Find it on YouTube, Daily Motion or on any number of Mill Creek 50-film bundles and tune-in, won't you?

They Must Be Destroyed On Sight! Intermission #6.

Lee's flying solo this week, talking about what's coming up on the podcast straight through to the end of the year. There's also some talk about the recent death of Gunnar Hansen, some shout-outs to other podcasts and a bit of a review of the new Western/Horror mash-up "Bone Tomahawk".
Featured Music: "Night Theme"; "Night Theme (Reprise)" & "Master Charge" by Iggy Pop and James Williamson.

They Must Be Destroyed On Sight! Episode 41: "Punch-Drunk Love" (2002).

Lee, Daniel and Paul are back again, this time they take a fairly deep look into Paul Thomas Anderson's "Punch-Drunk Love" from 2002, and yet feel like they've only scratched the surface. Also: Lee welcomes the recent influx of new listeners, and then the crew goes over listener comments and what they've watched and/or purchased in the last little while.Featured music: "He Needs Me" by Harry Nilsson, remixed by Jon Brion.

TMBDOS! Ep.40: ”Nightmare City” (1980) & ”Torso” (1973).

Lee, Daniel and Paul are back with their final part of their initial look at Italian horror. This week they cap things off with Umberto Lenzi's 1980 zombie film "Nightmare City", and then take a look at a much deeper than expected giallo/slasher, in the form of Sergio Martino's "Torso" from 1973. Daniel also gives some thoughts on "Deep Red" and "Tenebre" after finally catching up on them. Also covered: listener comments and what we've been watching as of late.

Lee and Daniel also cover what they've watched in the last little while. This may very well be the longest anyone has talked about these two films on a podcast, so if you're into wasting two hours of your life, this might be the episode for you.

"A Bay of Blood". Also covered: listener comments and what they've watched/purchased in the last week.

They Must Be Destroyed On Sight! Bonus Episode: Halloween Movie Playlists.

Lee is joined by Paul for a special bonus episode. Since this podcast often leans towards horror, they decided to do what every other horror-related podcast does and do a list show revolving around their favourite movies to watch on and around Halloween. Both made up two separate lists: favourite picks, that they generally watch alone, and then party films, best watched with friends. Also, just for fun, there's a few soundbites and music tracks related to some of the films they picked thrown in.Featured Music:"Halloween" and "Halloween II" by The Misfits; "Song of the Fifth Wind" by  Gary Sales; "The Legend of Guandi" by The McCain Brothers & "Laurie Knows" by John Carpenter.Halloween Play Lists:Lee's Favourite Picks: Halloween (1978)/Halloween 2 (1981)Nosferatu (1979)Phantasm (1979)Prince of Darkness (1987)Dawn of the Dead (1978)Sleepy Hollow (1999)Creepshow (1982)/Creepshow 2 (1987)Pet Sematary (1989)Deathdream/Dead of Night (1974)Black Sabbath (1963)Lee's Party Picks:The Monster Squad (1987)Night of the Creeps (1986)Night of the Demons (1988)The Gate (1987)Trick 'r Treat (2007)Return of the Living Dead (1985)Trick or Treat (1986)Wild Zero (1999)Paul's Favourite Picks:Night of the Living Dead (1968)Midnight (1982)The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)The Last Man on Earth (1964)The Werewolf vs. Vampire Woman (1971)The Evil Dead (1981)It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966)Hocus Pocus (1993)Paul's Party Picks:Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers (1988)976-Evil (1988)Madman (1982)Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (1978)Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988)The Deadly Spawn (1983)Sorority Babes in the Slime Bowl-o-Rama (1988)My Name is Bruce (2007)The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986)Basket Case (1982)
