They Must Be Destroyed On Sight!

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.

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. Featured music: "The First Murder by Guido & Maurizio De Angelis; "Metropolis" by Stelvio Cipriani. 

This week in part four of our Italian horror series Lee talks with Daniel and Paul in separate conversations about Luigi Cozzi's 1980 gory sci-fi horror "Contamination" and then they end up having A LOT to say about the late schlock-meister Bruno Mattei's 1980 "Dawn"/"Zombi" rip-off "Hell of the Living Dead". 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.  Featured music: "Zombi" by Goblin, & "Hell of the Living Dead (Main Theme)" by Luis Bacalov. Pex Lives coverage of Amicus Films.

Lee, Daniel and Paul are back for part 3 of their look at Italian Horror. This time out they take a look at two selections from a true legend in not only Italian horror, but horror in general: Mario Bava. The films covered are 1963's Boris Karloff-hosted anthology "Black Sabbath", and then 1971's proto-slasher "A Bay of Blood". Also covered: listener comments and what they've watched/purchased in the last week. Featured Music: The theme for "A Bay of Blood" by Stelvio Cipriani, the Cave theme from Super Mario Brothers 2 and "Black Sabbath" by Black Sabbath.

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 o

Lee and Paul are back this week for part two of their Italian horror series, this time looking at two highly-regarded additions to the giallo genre from director Dario Argento. Also covered: listener comments and what Lee and Paul have watched and/or purchased in the last little while. Daniel could not join this week, but should be back for the next episode with his thoughts on the two films. "Deep Red" "Tenebre" Featured music: "Profondo Rosso" & "School At Night (Lullaby , Child Version)" by Goblin & "Tenebre" by Claudio Simonetti, Fabio Pignatelli, Massimo Morante.

Lee, Dan and Paul kick off their month-long look at Italian horror films. In the initial run of this series (which will be revisited later on) they'll be looking at different Italian horror directors and covering films from each of them. Starting off they take a look at Italy's "Godfather of Gore" Lucio Fulci, covering a selection from his peak years in 1981's "The House by the Cemetery" and some late period Fulci in 1990's "A Cat in the Brain". Featured Music: "I Remember" by Walter Rizzati.

Daniel, Paul and Lee are back together this week to look at a film Daniel suggested, the 1959 post-apocalyptic drama, "The World, the Flesh and the Devil". Before that, they engage in some lengthy house-keeping revolving around praise from a fellow podcaster, listener comments, and some extended discussions around what they've been watching in the last little while.  "Free, white and 21" article. Featured Music:"Civilization (Bongo Bongo Bongo I Don't Want To Leave The Congo)" by Woody Herman & "The End of the World" by Skeeter Davis.

Lee and Dan are back in the third part of an extended episode they recorded a while back on the topic of favourite movie villains. Originally there was to be a short piece done with Paul as well in order to puff this out into a full-length episode, but various issues came up preventing that for the time being. There may be a part four down the road with Paul eventually, which will no doubt be very horror-specific. Featured Music: "Frank" by Ennio Morricone & "Sinners" by Freddie and the Hitchhikers.

It's commentary time! Yes, for the first time on the podcast, we enter the world of terrible fan commentary for a movie that you can pop into your player of choice.  Turn down the volume, turn on those subtitles, and then listen to a couple of unprepared fools talk about the film as you watch.  For this first outing Lee is joined by his brother Scott to eat chips loudly and talk about the 1990 Tom Savini remake of George Romero's "Night of the Living Dead". If you go into this expecting a Criterion-level discussion of the film, you'll be sadly let down. Hell, this might get the facts wrong, and it might not even qualify as a bad Rifftracks commentary, but fuck you, we did it anyway. If you do listen to it, we hope you enjoy. Cheers.

Lee is back, flying solo this week. Covered in this episode: the accidental destruction of an episode for the slasher series by Lee, some of Lee's latest film reviews on Letterboxed, and some of Lee's latest DVD purchases. Lee also claims he used an Elgato to record Skype conversations. He actually meant the program Evaer. Featured Music: "The Hunt" by Goblin.

Lee, Daniel & Paul are back for the third part their slasher series. This time out it's a semi-slasher/black comedy horror in "Motel Hell" from 1980 and the much over-looked slasher in the woods "Just Before Dawn" (1981). Also: what we've watched in the last little while. Featured Music: "Heart of Glass" by Blondie.

The whole gang is back together this week as Lee, Dan and Paul talk about two more slasher films from the 1980s for our Slasher Series. This time out it's two films considered to be legit cult classics by most slasher fans in "Sleepaway Camp" (1983) & "The Burning" (1981). Are they overlooked classics or just over-hyped?  Also covered: listener comments and what we've been watching as of late.  Featured Music: "The Burning (End Theme Song)" by Rick Wakeman.

This week Lee, Daniel and Paul kick off a series on 1980s slasher films by checking out the somewhat urban legend-based "Madman" (1982), and then on to the effects-driven "The Prowler" (1981). Due to some tech issues, Paul had to record a separate discussion with Lee on a different night, and he was without a good mic, thus his sound is a bit lower. People using ear buds be aware and adjust accordingly. Also: Daniel returns with another list of both recommended books and films, this time dealing with the subject of artificial intelligence. They also cover what they've watched as of late. Featured Music: "Song of Madman Marz" by Gary Sales. Daniel's AI Recommendations: Books: "I, Robot". "Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid". "The Mind's I: Fantasies And Reflections On Self & Soul". Movies: "Pi" (1998). "Ex Machina" (2015). "Her" (2013).

Lee and Daniel are back and this time Daniel has picked both movies reviewed for this episode. First off they look at a little Euro sex in "The Libertine" (1960) and then they move on to a strange pseudo-doc surrounding the people involved in a 1980s computer chess competition in (you guessed it) 2013's "Computer Chess". Also: listener comments, what we've been watching, and a list of recommended films/documentaries to help one better understand the religious right in America. Featured Music: "Brute Calculations" by Morgan Coy.
