They Must Be Destroyed On Sight!

Lee is kicking off October with Paul, Nick and Greg with the first part in a casual roundtable discussion on the "Halloween" film franchise. In part one they talk about the first three films, sharing what they liked and didn't like about the films, and what their favourite kill was for each. There might even be a few new original takes here and there (but don't count on it). Lee also read a listener comment. Put on your William Shatner mask and breath really heavy with us.

In this episode, before Lee takes a break for month and hands the DJ duties over to Lee Van Teeth for his October Halloween show, he's put together the first playlist in a what will be a series on the show for the rest of the year: music from cyberpunk films. But to get to the true cyberpunk picks, Lee wanted to set the tone a bit with tracks from some of the proto-cyberpunk frilms that would help influence and define what the eventual genre would be when it was finally coined. --Maschinen & Maschinenhalle-Moloch from "Metropolis" (1927) --Gottfried Huppertz --La Ville Inhumaine from "Alphaville" (1965) --Paul Misraki --Suite from "Cyborg 2087" (1966) --Paul Dunlap --Set Up Communications & Under Surveillance from "Colossus: The Forbin Project" (1970) --Michel Colombier --Theme From A Clockwork Orange (Beethoviana); Timesteps (Excerpt) & Title Music From A Clockwork Orange from "A Clockwork Orange" (1971) --Wendy Carlos --Robot Repair; Hovercraft Muzak & The Gunslinger from "Westworld" (1973) --Fred Karlin --Albatross from "World on a Wire" (1973) --Fleetwood Mac --Main Title from "Futureworld" (1976) --Fred Karlin Opening and closing music: Riot In Thunder Alley from "Thunder Alley" by Eddie Beram, and Escape from "Coffy" by Roy Ayers.

Lee and Daniel talk about some very late period classic noir this week, as they examine André De Toth's "Crime Wave" (1954). Does the classic noir police procedural elements butt heads with the more realistic approach to the story-telling? Is the short runtime quality over quantity? Are all cops bastards? Why does this Charles Buchinsky fella look familiar? All this and more, including what the hosts have watched recently, is talked about. Now, get us to a crime doctor right away, we're bleeding out!
