Hello everyone. We're back. Well... to be more precise, I am back. This is the new version of PDSMiOS. One guest with me (Joel) talking about a sci-fi movie we decided on together. An Important WARNING for those with young ones or those sensitive to cursing, I AM NO LONGER BLEEPING OUT THE CURSE WORDS. This decision is based on feedback from a few listeners. I imagine most people won't notice, but for those of you who do, reach out to me on Twitter or at PleaseDontPodcast@gmail.com. We can probably figure something out. Anyway, enough house keeping. My guest on this episode is someone I can now call an old friends of mine. He has been my recording partner on Shoot the Piano Player, We Cut Heads, and High and Low. He has been part of the perfect trio that performs on The Arbitrary Indiscriminate Movie Podcast. He is the one called Spencer Seams and he has picked an amazing movie called Burst City from 1982! It is difficult to describe Burst City in terms of subgenre. Let me just say it is part Repo Man, part Fury Road, part A Hard Day's Night, and the rest is some of the most interesting stuff put on film. I hope you enjoy the discussion we had. I have 4 more episodes ready for me to edit, so keep an eye on your podcast feeds. It's going to be wild. Check out Spencer's writing on Jailhouse 701: Japanese Cult Cinema and Red Black and Green: A Celebration of African History

Martin is joined by returning guest Spencer Seams of the High and Low podcast to discuss Frank & Eleanor Perry's David and Lisa. They talk about the film's approach to character, and its portrayal of mental illness and psychiatric care. They cover surreal dream sequences and low budget naturalism, and consider the legacy of the Perrys and their post-divorce careers (as well as their relation to a certain pop superstar).
Week 2 of Summer of Love Beach Party Podcast (part duece), we are joined by Spencer Seams of High and Low: A Kurosawa podcast, to discuss one of his favorite movies, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre from 1974! This is an art movie, disguised as a horror comedy, that is not very funny and is actually quite terrifying! But there is a lot of meat on that bone, and we have no problem chowing down! Mmmm. I don't feel so good. Email: pleasedontpodcast@gmail.com Facebook: facebook.com/pdsmios Twitter: @outerspacepod Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/pdsmios www.eartrumpetaudio.com
Darren talks to Spencer Seams about Zannalee.
Happy New Year, druzya! For our first film pick of 2018, we're watching historical drama Tsar from 2009, directed by Pavel Lungin and starring Pyotr Mamonov and Oleg Yankovskiy. To discuss the film, Ally is joined by co-host of High & Low: A Kurosawa Podcast and Russian history super-fan Spencer Seams. This episode contains moderate SPOILERs from 19 minutes in until the end. It also includes (at least) one significant factual error about Russian history by Ally. For. Shame. No actual prizes for spotting it(/them), but kudos if you do.

This movie was suggested by friend of the show Spencer Seams (who co-hosts High & Low: An Akira Kurosawa podcast) and boy oh boy, it is not good. Still, there are good goofs within this episode and a special appearance by Skinner's daughter, who is just the best. You should listen for her commentary alone.
This week, we are once again joined by Mr Spencer Seams to discuss his pick Petey Wheatstraw The Devils Son-in-Law, and thank goodness he did. We did not know the greatness of Rudy Ray Moore, and now we can never forget him. This movie has magic, kung fu, sexy times, and a rather long scene dealing with feces and pants. Oh yes, you should watch this movie. Rated R! For stuff. Got any movie suggestions? Please write in to pleasedontpodcast@gmail.com Facebook: facebook.com/pdsmios Twitter: twitter.com/outerspacepod
It’s a good thing the rope broke so now we have time to talk about Ambrose Bierce’s “A Horseman in the Sky” and “Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge.” Spencer Seams of coming podcast Tune In Tonight is here to discuss stories that end happily with no surprises! Host John McCoy.
This week, we are joined once again by the esteemed Spencer to discuss the movie The Face of Another. Imagine if you will, how you would feel if your face suddenly became horrifically scarred. How different would you act? How would you expect people to treat you? How much beer would you drink at the local German restaurant with your immoral Psychiatrist? These are just a few of the questions that can probably be answered by watching this movie. Thanks to Spencer Seams for joining us once again!

This week, we finish out Spencer month by going mostly insane. Also, we watched the 1969 movie directed by Oscar award winning director Peter Watkins, The Gladiators, aka Gladiatorerna. Peter Watkins has a style all his own, crafting docu-dramas that deliver a socially conscience message that strikes true even today. So naturally we talked about Goldfish brand crackers. We'd like to thank Spencer Seams for his contribution to this podcast. He has helped boost our profile and given us excellent movie to chew on, and we will never forgive him.
