Description
Lee Russell, Leah Hardy, Daniel Harper, and Paul Remaley discuss films they love, hate, or perhaps are on the fence about, usually while drinking. While not adverse to exploring all genres of film, the podcast focuses on horror, sci-fi, cult, exploitation, and the obscure. Spoilers and adult language can be expected.

Lee and Daniel are joined by returning guest Matt Anderson to follow up on their episode covering "Panic in the Streets" (episode 341), by talking about Earl McEvoy's "The Killer That Stalked New York" (1950), which was released later in the same year as "Panic..." and largely covers the same subject matter. Is this a cheap rip-off or cash-in, or is this one worth checking out? One of our podcast girlfriends pops up, in the always wonderful Dorothy Malone, but does she get anything to do? The hosts also spiral into a bunch of asides and talk about what they've watched recently. Get your vaccinations, and try not to put your mouth on public fountains while you listen!

Featured Music: "Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu" by Huey Piano Smith & "Fever" by Peggy Lee.
Russ Meyer loved women. Women with big boobs, big curves, and big personalities. His entire career was all about putting his fetishes on screen in nudie cuties, dramas, crime films, mondo movies, sex comedies, and any other sort of exploitation film he could get away with, often all in the same film!

Lee and Daniel are joined this episode by returning guest Wick to cover a film he wanted to talk about, Sydney Pollack's "Tootsie" (1982), starring Dustin Hoffman. A lot of the conversation revolves around just how well this film plays in 2026, and if it's really fair to be too critical of it given when it was made and what it actually is trying to talk about. It turns out to be one of the more spirited discussions we've had on the show. The hosts also talk about what they've watched as of late. Put on your best dress, high heels, and wig, and give us a listen.

As a tribute to the recently passed Rob Reiner, Lee and Daniel cover the two Stephen King Adaptations he directed, those being 1986's "Stand by Me" & 1990's "Misery". A lot of the conversation revolves around Reiner's strengths as an actor's director, and re-casting a possible "Misery" remake. The hosts also talk about what they've watched as of late, and they read a listener comment.

Lee decided to end off 2025 on a spicy note by covering some of the soundtracks and scores of some notable porno films from the "Golden Age" of the genre, which spanned the late 1960s to the early 1980s. You know, when they were actual films, or were at least trying to be, and were almost all funded by mob money.

Lee and Daniel finish up their Robert Redford retrospective by talking about two of his directorial efforts. First off they talk about the slow-paced but harrowing gut punch that is "Ordinary People" (1980), and then they look at the more high-energy "Quiz Show" (1994). The hosts also briefly mention what they've watched recently.

Lee and Daniel continue their look at some Robert Redford this episode, covering Alan J. Pakula's paranoid thriller based on the book about the Watergate investigation, "All the President's Men" (1976), and Barry Levinson's slice of American baseball mythology, "The Natural" (1984). One of these films does the leg work and checks it sources, while the other strikes out badly. The hosts also talk about what they've watched recently. Batter up!

Lee & Daniel are back on some Redford this week (as well as a return to George Roy Hill and William Goldman!) with "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" (1969), also starring Paul Newman and Katharine Ross. Poly triads, Western revisionism, and bad white boy Spanish are all things brought up this time around. The hosts also talk a bit about what they've watched as of late. Why not saddle up with us and flee to Bolivia?

As mentioned in the conversation, "The Cult of Paul Thomas Anderson", by Broey Deschanel.
Featured Music: "Hirpastay" by Los Catchakis & "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" by Burt Bacharach.
Lee and Daniel are joined by Lee's long-time best friend Peter to talk about a movie they bonded over back in high school in the late 1990s, "The Stöned Age" (1994), directed by James Melkonian. This R-rated stoner buddy comedy feels like the crude love child of "Dazed and Confused" & "Wayne's World". Is it perhaps better than both of those films? Is it at least more fun? The hosts also talk about what they've watched recently, and Peter, being a first-time guest, gets to play a round of Beyond Belief: Movie Fact or Fiction. Do you want to play submarine? Don't be a worm, bring a case of Ox 45 along (they better be fucking talls!), and listen in.

First up it's the well-known paranoid thriller "Three Days of the Condor" (1975), directed by Sydney Pollack, and then they look at the slightly less-talked about "The Great Waldo Pepper" (1975), directed by George Roy Hill.
