They Must Be Destroyed On Sight!

Lee and Daniel are back in this episode to talk about not only 2005's low budget, gore-heavy horror comedy "Feast", directed by John Gulager. No, they also cover the Ben Affleck & Matt Damon-produced reality tv series "Project Greenlight", specifically season 3, which was all about the making of the film. The conversation revolves around how the film plays knowing what you get to know from what went on behind the scenes on the tv show. Is the film good? Does its edge lord sense of humour hold up today? Is "Project Greenlight" actually more compelling and entertaining than the film? Does the episode talk about monster vomit AND monster cum?

There's no regular episode this week yet Lee was determined to drone on into his mic, but he's not alone!

Lee is joined by friends and returning guest hosts Robby and Wick to cover John Flynn's "The Outfit" (1973), starring Robert Duvall, Karen Black, and the recently departed Joe Don Baker. Being one of several adaptations of a book in the popular "Parker" series of crime novels, the hosts ponder the virtues of Donald Westlake's more matter-of-fact blue collar criminal world, and the hard-nosed professionals he populated it with. The hosts also discuss recent watches, which mostly focuses on 30+ year old television this time around.

The 1990s were a weird and often really interesting time for the slasher film genre. Join Lee as he navigates the often even weirder soundtracks and scores of those films in the first of a 3-part series. --He's Invisible from "The Invisible Maniac" (1990) --Dan Povenmire --Maniac Cop Rap from "Maniac Cop 2" (1990) --Jay Chattaway, Wayne Lammers and Peter Levin --I'll be Right There from "Prom Night 3: The last Kiss" (1990) --Paul Zaza --She's Gonna Freak You from "Prom Night 3: The Last Kiss" (1990) --Maestro Fresh-Wes --Women are Like That & Room at the Bottom from "Hard to Die" (1990) --Mr. Moderation --Main Theme from "Hard to Die" (1990) --Chuck Cirino --Opening Credits from "Slumber Party Massacre III" (1990) --Louis Chalif --Video Game Suite from "Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare" (1991) --Brian May --Virgin Girl from "Shock 'Em Dead" (1991) --Mark Freed & Robert Decker --Pocomania Day from "Popcorn" (1991) --Lovindeer & Chalice --Scary Scary Movies from "Popcorn" (1991) --Ossie D. and Stevie G. --Doctor, Heal Thyself from "Dr. Giggles" (1992) --Brian May --Happy Hell Night from "Happy Hell Night" (1992) --Slush Puppies --It Was Always You, Helen from "Candyman" (1992) --Phillip Glass --Main Titles from "Leprechaun" (1993) --Kevin Kiner --End Titles from "Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday" (1993) --Harry Manfredini --Talkin 'bout Aaargh from "Psycho Cop Returns" (1993) --Keep Left Opening and closing music: Theme from Slaughter from "Slaughter" by Billy Preston, and Too Risky a Day for a Regatta from "Tentacles" by Stelvio Cipriani.

This Week Lee and Daniel are yet again joined by friend Jack Graham to cap off the extended look into both Gene Hackman and 1990s thrillers with Peter Hyams' remake of "The Narrow Margin" (1952), "Narrow Margin" (1990). Does this train ride take too long or does it have one hell of a sexy caboose? The host's also talk about what they've watched as of late.

Lee, Daniel & Jack hunker down in a van full of sweaty tech bros and spy on everyone in this week's episode covering "Enemy of the State" (1998), directed by Tony Scott, and starring Will Smith and Gene Hackman. Is this a sequel to "The Conversation", as movie discourse seems to demand it be these days, or it it just a massive piece of shit?

Lee decided to get back on the vanity project kick this month, covering yet more soundtracks and scores from those films made by someone with a singular and sometimes misguided cinematic vision. --Ain't Gwine To Whistle Dixie (Any Mo') from "Clay Pigeon" (1971) --Taj Mahal --Just You, Just Me from "The Groove Tube" (1974) --Ken Shapiro --Tuesday Afternoon from "The Astrologer" (1976) --The Moody Blues --No Way Back from "No Way Back" (1976) --The Dells --The Mancunian from "Grievous Bodily Harm" (1983) --John Agar (Cliff Twemlow) --Main Titles from "The Dark Side of Midnight" (1984) --Doug Holroyd --Heads Will Roll from "Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare" (1987) --Thor & The Tritonz --The Tower from "Miami Connection" (1987) --Jon McCallum --FleshEater Theme from "FleshEater" (1988) --Erica Portnoy --Living On The Edge from "Deadly Spygames" (1989) --Jack M.

Lee and Daniel are joined in this episode by their friend Jack Graham, who co-hosts the I Don't Speak German podcast with Daniel, to talk about "Rising Sun" (1993), directed by Philip Kaufman, and based on the novel by Michael Crichton. The film follows Sean Connery and Wesley Snipes as they navigate Japanese culture, while trying to solve a murder, in ways that sometimes make Mickey Rooney's yellow face performance in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" look somewhat tame in comparison. Is there anything to salvage from this outdated trainwreck? Is the Crichton novel any better? The hosts also talk about what they've watched as of late. Thankfully no racist Japanese accents were used in the recording of this podcast, but a few bad Connery impressions might have slipped by the edit.

Lee and Daniel decided to go deep (well, as deep as a Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer production can get), both literally and figuratively, as they tackle the epic shouty men on a submarine film, "Crimson Tide" (1995), directed by Tony Scott, and starring Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman as said shouty men. Has the threat of nuclear war ever been more dumb and full of cum? Was Tarantino punching this stuff up needed? The hosts also cover what they've watched as of late.

Lee, Daniel and Leah form up a posse this time out to cover George P. Cosmatos' epic 1990s western "Tombstone" (1993), starring, well, pretty much everyone who was a name or would be a name in the next few years. Val Kilmer's recent death was the excuse to cover the film, but aside from talking about his career-defining performance, the hosts also talk about just how great everyone else is, and if the actual film itself manages to keep up with them. How historically accurate was this thing anyway? Is this revisionist or is it a more traditional western? Was Wyatt Earp just a gangster pretending to be the law? How much of this film is really George P. Cosmatos responsible for? Are the hosts your huckleberries? Tune in to find out!

Lee, Daniel, and their friend and fellow podcaster James Murphy talk about Ken Russell's "The Lair of the White Worm" (1988), based on a novel by some guy called Bram Stoker. Did Russell manage something better than the source material here? Just where does this film seem to fit into the history of British horror, and just how horny is this film anyway? The hosts also talk about what they've watched as of late. So get out your bagpipes, keep a spare mongoose handy, and join us on a giant snake hunt!

This month Lee has revenge on his mind... 1970s revenge to be specific. So, he created a playlist of music from various 1970s films that deal with revenge in some form or another. Do not transgress against this podcast or it might come back to get your ass! --Main Theme from "The Night Visitor" (1971) --Henry Mancini --Daughter of Loneliness from "Bury Me an Angel" (1971) --East-West Pipeline --Dedicated to Love from "She Killed in Ecstasy" (1971) --Manfred Hubler & Siegfried Schwab --Wait for the Rain from "Last House on the Left" (1972) --David Alexander Hess --Amen from "Thriller: A Cruel Picture" (1973) --Ralph Lundsten --Opening Titles from "Karate Girl" (1973) --Unknown --Party People from "Death Wish" (1974) --Herbie Hancock --Mothball Karate from "The Killer Elite" (1975) --Jerry Fielding --J'entends Frapper & Notre Côté B from "Gina" (1975) --Michel Pagliaro --A Flower's All You Need from "The Night Train Murders" (1975) --Ennio Morricone & Demis Roussos --Di Corsa Oltre I Cento from "Hitch-Hike" (1977) --Ennio Morricone --Garrote from "The Farmer" (1977) --Hugo Montenegro --Max the Hunter & Max Decides on Vengeance from "Mad Max" (1979) --Brian May --The Glove from "The Glove" (1979) --Robert O.

Lee and Daniel are joined by new guests to the show, Steve and Izzy of the Everything I Learned From Movies Podcast, to talk about the little-known indie sci-fi slasher film "The Terminator" (1984), directed by flash-in-the-pan James Cameron, and starring people nobody has ever heard of, like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton. All kidding aside, the hosts try their best to have a fun conversation about an all-time classic film. Steve and Izzy also get to play the show's new quiz game Beyond Belief: Movie Fact or Fiction, which Lee manages to screw up (of course). Also, the hosts all mention something they've watched as of late. Take that picture of our mom we gave you to jerk to, and get your ass back to the past when podcasts were not a thing, and listen to this episode if you want to live.

Lee and Daniel pay a bit of tribute to the recently departed Gene Hackman by talking briefly about what he meant to each of them, and then covering a film he appeared in before he hit it big in "The French Connection". The film in question is the Bill Norton-directed "Cisco Pike" (1971), which was a tailor-made debut film for then upcoming musician Kris Kristofferson. The hosts conversation revolve around this film's place in the series of counterculture films that came in the wake of "Easy Rider", the overall vibe of the film, and the familiar character actors that pop up, as well as Gene Hackman making way more out of his role than one would think was needed. The hosts also talk about what they've watched as of late.

Don't be another punk errand boy, and tune it to listen to the hosts talk about what they've watched, and what they thought about this 1970s American crime drama, that does more than just nod at the Blaxploitation genre.

Lee tries to start off 2025 on a positive note with a playlist from everyone's favourite Italian brother duo, Guido & Maurizio De Angelis. If you're counting, this is the fourth time Lee has done a show covering the work of the prolific brothers (search the archives on Podbean for parts 1-3), be it under their names, Oliver Onions, or some of the lesser known pseudonyms they've used over the decades. In many cases, this list features instrumental versions of songs Lee has used in previous episodes, and Lee does much less talking than in previous installments of this series. This makes for an easier episode to put together for Lee, and more music for you the listener. It's like you won a new shiny red dune buggy! --Across the Fields & Dune Buggy (Instrumental) from "Watch Out, We're Mad!" (1974) --Driving All Around (Instrumental) & Goodbye My Friend (Rock Version) from "Street Law" (1974) --Afyon (Instrumental) from "The Sicilian Connection" (1974) --Sliding Crime from "Violent Rome" (1975) --Flat Foot Cop from "Flatfoot in Hong Kong" --Suspense from "Hit Squad" (1976) --E Nun ce vojo sta from "Hit Squad" (1976) --Alberto Griso --Verso l'avventura from "Soldier of Fortune" (1976) --Ultimo Inseguimento & Agguato from "The Big Racket" (1976) --Miss Robot from "Bulldozer" (1978) --In Africa, Freedom (Single Side A Alt Mix), Diamonds #2 & African Disco from "Flatfoot in Africa" (1978) Opening and closing music: Theme from Slaughter from "Slaughter" by Billy Preston, and Too Risky a Day for a Regatta from "Tentacles" by Stelvio Cipriani.

Lee and guest host Matt Anderson leave no stone unturned as they talk about the oddball 1950s sci-fi/disaster film "The Monolith Monsters" (1957), directed by John Sherwood. How can rocks that grow be all that scary? Does the film manage to sell that idea? The hosts talk a lot about how effective this low budget film is, and the people behind it, including the influence of genre king Jack Arnold. A lot of ground is covered in this one. The hosts also talk about what they've watched as of late. Be thankful Papa was a rolling stone and not an alien one, and come take a listen as to why that is! "The Monolith Monsters" IMDB  Check out Matt at: The Mighty Peculiar  The Bloodybits Horror Show  On Bluesky  Featured Music: "Main Title" from The Monolith Monsters by Irving Gertz & "I'll Turn to Stone" by The Supremes.

Lee is joined this week by friends and previous guests Wick and Robby to cover the overlooked gem "The Matador" (2005), directed by Richard Shepard, and starring a post-Bond Pierce Brosnan, who is doing his best to shake off that Bond type-casting. The hosts do a fairly deep dive into a surprising character piece, that feels like it was marketed as a crazy Guy Ritchie-type crime/spy film. The hosts also cover what they've watched recently. "The Matador" IMDB Check out Wick's artwork on his Instagram. Featured Music: "Town Called Malice" by The Jam & "1, 2, 3, 4" by TITAN.

Lee and Daniel are joined by friends and past guests Nick and Greg to talk about Russell Mulcahy's "Highlander" (1986), starring Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery. Bad accents; excellent visuals; confusing lore; Michael Ironside with a mullet; and a legacy of a franchise with fantastic highs and bottom of the barrel lows are things that are talked about, along with a ton of other asides, including the soundtrack and dead media formats zoomers might not know about. The hosts also talk about what they've been watching as of late. There can be only one podcast about Highlander. Actually, that's not true, but at least this is one of them.

Lee finally broke down and did the obvious for the Christmas season, and built a playlist featuring movies set during the Christmas season. This time out they all happen to be from movies in the 1980s, and mostly Christmas horror. Of course, due to the release schedule of this podcast, it's a few days late.

(which HAS NOT DIED!) where Lee and Lady Leah talk about a film they've been watching every December together for a few years now, "The Muppet Christmas Carol" (1992); of course adapting the famous Charles Dickens story, and directed by Brian Henson. Things brought up include the underlying sadness and darkness in this kids/family film; how good of an adaptation this is; the performance of Michael Caine as Scrooge; as well as the wonderful music and production design.

Lee and Paul finish up their bonus shows for October by covering the somewhat forgotten sci-fi horror, and semi-remake of Tod Browning's "Freaks", "The Freakmaker" (1974), directed by Jack Cardiff and starring Donald Pleasence and Tom Baker.

Lee is joined in this episode by guests Vaughn and Wick to cover two Euro-horror films. First off it's the stylish Giallo "Blood and Black Lace" (1964), directed by Mario Bava, and then they look at a mash-up of the old dark house film with the then emerging Euro trash horror boom, with Jean Brismée's "The Devil's Nightmare" (1971). The hosts also all talk about one thing they watched recently. Does Vaughn just hate movies? Tune in to find out!

Lee and Paul are far more sober this week as they bring some more October bonus content your way. This time out they have a short chat about an early Fred Olen Ray film, "The Alien Dead" (1980). "The Alien Dead" IMDB  Paul's YouTube Beer Reviews  PA Outdoors Couple  Featured Music: Excerpts from the score by Franklin Sledge and Chuck Summer.

Lee and guest host Wick check out Roy Ward Baker's "Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde" (1971), a Hammer production which marked the first gender-bending adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's famous story. The conversation jumps around from the excellent lead performances of Ralph Bates and Martine Beswick to how the film weaves in the Jack the Ripper and Burke and Hare stories, as well as if it actually intended any progressive message with its gender-switching story, of if it was all just an excuse to see Beswick fondle herself in the mirror while naked (spoilers: it was!). The hosts also talk about what they've watched lately. "Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde" IMDB  Check out Wick's art here.  Featured Music: "Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde Main Theme" by David Whitaker & "Under My Thumb" by Tina Turner.

Lee and Paul have some more drunken bonus content this week as they cover the unofficial Italian sequel to "Patrick", "Patrick Still Lives" (1980), directed by Mario Landi. How sleazy can the makers of this film get with the material? How amazed and shocked can the hosts become when talking about the beautiful women in this cast and the horrible things that happen to them in the film? Listen if you dare.

Lee and Paul have a brief chat about Richard Franklin's "Patrick" (1978). It's a little drunken, it's a lot informal and unedited. Don't feel like you need to get out of your coma for it. Just spit at us a bit to let us know you care. "Patrick" IMDB  Paul's YouTube Beer Reviews.  PA Outdoors Couple.  Featured Music: "Patrick Pt. 3" by Goblin & "The Strobe" by Brian May.

This month, as we get closer to spooky season, Lee has crafted a quick and dirty playlist revolving around vampire films from the 1970s. Greats like Dracula, Yorga, Barlow, Blacula, and several other lesser known blood suckers are featured. Lee talks less than usual on this one, so you the listener gets to the music faster!

Lee is joined by his friends and previous guests Nick Lowe and Greg Bielawski to cover Steven Spielberg's big budget adaptation of H.G. Wells' "The War of the Worlds" (2005), starring Tom Cruise. They have a pretty good conversation about the film, its themes and imagery, and some of the various film and tv adaptations of the original story. Nick and Greg also talk about what they've watched as of late.

Another busy month equals another TMBDOS! Grab Bag episode of Blood on the Tracks! That's where Lee does the very lazy thing of building this episode's playlist from tracks found on official episodes of the They Must Be Destroyed On Site! podcast, and does very little talking about the music, if any at all. This playlist covers soundtrack and score selections found in various episodes between 265 and 314. Enjoy! --Self Destruction from "Predator" (1987) --Alan Silvestri (Episode 265) --Brainscan (Main Theme) from "Brainscan" (1994) --George S.

Lee gives a state of the podcast update, mentions other podcasts he's been on as of late, and then he goes over a few recent watches. Featured Music: "Bad Fog of Loneliness" by Neil Young & "Keep Moving On" by Bloodshot Bill.

This month Lee takes a look at music from films about possibly the world's most famous cryptid, the Sasquatch - or as it/they are better known in pop and general culture: Bigfoot. There are just so many films, especially in the last thirty years or so, that the list is focused on the real peak period of interest, the 1970s and 1980s. Even then this list threatened to be much larger than it ended up being, but a lot of the music was impossible to source. Still, Lee feels this list is large enough to pay proper tribute to that mythical(?) hairy giant in the woods. --Main Theme from "Bigfoot" (1970) --Richard Podolor --The Legend of Boggy Creek from "The Legend of Boggy Creek" (1972) --Chuck Bryant & Earl E. Smith --Popcorn from "Shriek of the Mutilated" (1974) --Hot Butter --Ballad of McCullough's Mountain from "Blood Beast of Monster Mountain" (1975) --Tim York --Exits and Truckstops from "Creature from Black Lake" (1976) --Jim McCullough Jr. --High in the Mountains & Bigfoot Theme from "Sasquatch" (1976) --Lane Caudell & Al Capps --Suite from "Snowbeast" (1977) --Robert Prince --What's it Take to be a Believer from "In the Shadow of Big Foot" (1977) --Phillip Malbrough --Main Title from "Return to Boggy Creek" (1977) --Darrell Deck --Yeti from "Yeti: Giant of the 20th Century" (1977) --Sante Maria Romitelli feat.

Lee closes out TMBDOS!'s tribute to the late Roger Corman by checking out his look into the world of LSD, "The Trip" (1967), with the help of friends and fellow podcasters Mike Wood and Vaughn Kuhlmeier. Written by Jack Nicholson, and starring Peter Fonda, Susan Strasberg, Bruce Dern & Dennis Hopper; does this snapshot of a very specific time and place in American culture still resonate today? Does it have anything deep to say or is it pure exploitation? Apart from the main film discussion there's a few wild asides, and the hosts also talk about what they've watched recently. Turn on, tune in, and drop out with us for an hour and a half.

This week Lee and Daniel are joined by friend and fellow podcaster Gary Hill to continue the Roger Corman tribute thread. This time they cover two very similar cheapies Corman and writer Charles B. Griffith came up with "A Bucket of Blood" (1959) & "The Little Shop of Horrors" (1960), which are two great examples of doing more with less. The economic film making of the Corman method; the greatness of Dick Miller, and many other things are touched upon. The host also talk about what they've watched as of late. Stay out of the beatnik coffee house and don't feed the plants until you've listened to this episode!

Lee and Daniel continue the Corman tribute this week by talking about one of the more stand-out films to be produced under his watch, that being Peter Bogdanovich's "Targets" (1968). Boris Karloff, playing a thinly-veiled version of himself contends with new Hollywood and (eventually) a mass shooter, as Bogdanovich tries to find a way to fit the Corman-mandated amount of footage from "The Terror" into the film where he can. Lots of talk about mass shooters and serial killers at the time, and just how deftly this whole thing is put together by Bogdanovich, directing his first real film. The hosts also talk about what they've watched as of late. NOTE: there are two or three ever-so-brief moments where Daniel's mic breaks up for a few seconds, but it does not really effect the conversation as a whole, which is really good one. "Targets" IMDB  Check out Daniel's episode of I Don't Speak German where he and his co-host Jack covered the Buffalo Shooter.  Featured Music: "Green Rocky Road" by The Daily Flash & "Don't Take Your Guns to Town" by Johnny Cash.

Lee is back to cover musical selections from the films in the later half of Roger Corman's directing career, between the years 1963 to 1990. --End Title from "The Raven" (1963) --Les Baxter --Main Theme from "The Haunted Palace" (1963) --Ronald Stein --Main Title Theme from "The Terror" (1963) --Ronald Stein --Prince Prospero & Prospero's Court from "The Masque of the Red Death" (1964) --David Lee --Main Title & End Title from "The Tomb of Ligeia" (1964) --Kenneth Jones --End Credits from "The Man with the X-Ray Eyes" (1963) --Les Baxter --Theme from The Wild Angels from "The Wild Angels" (1966) --The Visitors --Blue's Theme; Bongo Party; & The Wild Angels Ballad (Dirge) from "The Wild Angels" (1966) --Davie Allen and The Arrows --Midnight Rider from "The Wild Angels" (1966) --The Hands of Time --A Little Head; Flash, Bam, Pow; & Gettin' Hard from "The Trip" (1967) --The Electric Flag --Main Title from "The St. Valentines Day Massacre" (1967) --Fred Steiner --Dance Party & Wild Racers Theme from "The Wild Racers" (1968) --The Sidewalk Sounds --Opening Titles from "Target Harry" (1969) --Les Baxter --Bloody Mama from "Bloody Mama" (1970) --Big Foot --Bubble Gum Girl from "Gas-s-s-s" (1970) --Johnny & The Tornados --This is the Beginning from "Gas-s-s-s" (1970) --Robert Corff --Deathsport from "Deathsport" (1978) --Andy Stein --Main Titles from "Frankenstein Unbound" (1990) --Carl Davis Opening and closing music: Main Title from "Battle Beyond the Stars" by James Horner, and Main Theme from "The Final Terror" by Susan Justin.

Lee, Leah and Daniel are continuing the podcast's Corman tribute by covering "The Terror" (1963). Under Corman's watch a lot of future greats had a part in the production of this patched-together gothic horror, starring a fresh-face Jack Nicholson, an elderly Boris Karloff, and "that guy" Dick Miller (who threatens to steal the whole movie at times!). Is it the janky mess all of those old public domain 50 movie DVD packs make us think it was, or did watching a fully restored version surprise the hosts expectations? Did this film somehow inspire a future great film that Nicholson was also the lead in? You're already visiting our decaying old castle by the sea, you might as well stay for a while and find out! "The Terror" IMDB  Watch "The Terror" for free on YouTube in HD.  Featured Music: "The Terror Main Title" by Ronald Stein & "There's Ghost in My House" by R. Dean Taylor.

Lee is joined this episode by his friend and fellow podcaster Cameron Scott to continue the podcast's extended look at Roger Corman-directed and produced films. This time out its two wildly different motorcycle films, the first being Corman's own "The Wild Angels" (1966), starring Peter Fonda, Nancy Sinatra, Bruce Dern and Diane Ladd as members of a violent, and unfortunately, quite rapey chapter of the Hells Angels. Then it's David Carradine and Claudia Jennings in the spiritual sequel to "Deathrace 2000", "Deathsport" (1978), directed by Allan Arkush, Nicholas Niciphor & Corman. Does a production so troubled as this film had equal a terrible finished product, or are there joys to be had with such a jumbled mess? Put on your helmet, hop on our future bikes, and find out!
