TMBDOS! Episode 237: "Citizen Kane" (1941).

Lee and Leah find themselves with the daunting task of talking about "Citizen Kane" (1941) -- the film that put Orson Welles on the map, and is often hailed as the greatest film of all time. But is it any good? Does it hold up? Is it a case of style over substance? Do the hosts have anything new to say about this film? Maybe not, but join in anyway to hear their opinions; Lee get in a fight with a moth live on the recording; and what the hosts have watched to as of late.

TMBDOS! Episode 236: "The Girl with the Pistol" (1968).

Lee and Leah are joined on this episode by special guest Daniel Segura, of the excellent Moustachioed Podcastio to talk about a film that deals with bride kidnapping and honour killings - and it's a swinging 1960s comedy! On this episode they cover the Monica Vitti-starring film "The Girl with the Pistol" (1968). Also, as Daniel is a first-time guest, he gets to play The Movie God Game. Can Lee stump two people in a row? The hosts also talk about what they've watched as of late. So gather up your lira, get a passport and a gun, and come with us to England for some sweet, sweet revenge.

Blood on the Tracks Episode 46: TMBDOS! Grab Bag 3 - The Grab-baggening.

Lee, Leah, and special guest Vaughn Kuhlmeier of the excellent podcast Motion Picture Massacre attempt to slay the dragon that is Terry Gilliam's Monty Python-adjacent film "Jabberwocky" (1977). Not loved at its time of release, is this still a critical failure, or has its politics and social messages aged much better over the years? Is it funny? What did they get away with while still rated PG? Why is Steven Spielberg a fucking hack? Also: the hosts talk about what they have watched recently, and Vaughn plays a harrowing round of the Movie God Game! So take up your lances and charge at the monster with us!

TMBDOS! Episode 234: "Them!" (1954).

Lee, Leah, and the returning Daniel hang-out in the desert to get drunk and talk about giant ants, that are bent on spreading communism across the world. Or something. Yes, it's the Gordon Douglas-directed, 1954 atomic age monster movie classic "Them!". We talk about the thinly veiled themes in the film; the agency of female scientists in a 1950s sci-fi horror; educational films about ants; government, military, and local authorities actually working together like they should to solve issues; and way too much about formic acid. Leah and Daniel also talk about what they've watched as of late.

Thank you, we're here all week. Try the veal. The hosts also cover what they've watched as of late.

TMBDOS! Episode 231: "The Act of Killing" (2012).

Lee and Lady Leah have a conversation covering their thoughts on director Joshua Oppenheimer's 2012 documentary "The Act of Killing", which is about the surviving Indonesian death-squad leaders, who were responsible for the deaths of over one million people from 1964-65. A lot of it is just the shock and anger both hosts felt while watching the brazen boasting by these monsters, but they do get into Oppenheimer's unique and non-confrontational way he goes about opening these people up and showing what they truly are, with their own words and shallow justifications. It's not a fun film to talk about, but we think the discussion about it was quite good at least. Listener feedback and what Lady Leah has watched as of late are also covered.

Cape Sh!t Episode 14: "Doctor Strange" (2016).

Lee, Greg, Kerry, and guest host Lady Leah talk about 2016's "Doctor Strange". Is it a good origin story? Does it matter much in the overall grand scheme of the MCU? Does it have a bad guy in it that's worth a damn? Is it okay that the Ancient One isn't Asian? All of this and more can be found in this crazy mirror dimension of an episode.

TMBDOS! Episode 229: "Django the Bastard" (1969).

Lee, Paul and Leah return to take a look at the horror-infused Spaghetti Western "Django the Bastard" (1969), starring prolific Italian genre actor Anthony Steffen in the titular role of Django. The conversation revolves around the legitimacy of the unofficial Django films; how much of an effective horror film this actually is; if the Django in this film is undead or just really clever; and Leah's reaction and thoughts on watching her first pasta cowboy film, and why her mother may very well be the worst Italian for never cluing her in on their existence. The hosts also briefly talk about what they've watched as of late.

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). Is this film a bit deeper than it lets on? Is Edward G. Robinson really all that great a guy in this? Is this just the Stanford Experiment? Are they talking about what one might think they are talking about with the Clitterhouse name? What did Humphrey Bogart think of this film? All of this and more, including what the hosts have watched as of late.
