They Must Be Destroyed On Sight! – Details, episodes & analysis

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.

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.

Lee and Leah are teasing their cinematic sweet tooth this week when they bite into the sexy thriller "Sugar Cookies" (1973), directed by Theodore Gershuny, and co-written by future head of Troma, Lloyd Kaufman. Does this otherwise low-budget and poorly-made film have anything to offer other than the lovely nude bodies of the stars Mary Woronov and Lynn Lowry? Is this the progenitor of the sexy thrillers we'd see twenty years later on late night cable and direct-to-video VHS? Is it deserving of the "X" rating it originally got? Who the fuck is "Gus" and why the hell are we following him out of nowhere? Also, Leah has some rants this week and the host respond to comments (including one that's critical of one of our episodes) and talk about what they've watches as of late.

This month Lee takes a casual look into one of his favourite musical artists who often composed scores for film. That would be Florian Fricke, the leader and central creative force behind the musical collective known as Popol Vuh. Popol Vuh created music both in the studio for their own releases and to score several films, most notably in collaboration with prolific film maker Werner Herzog. In this episode Lee plays some of his favourite tracks from those collaborations with Herzog (at least from the ones he could source). To spare you Lee's terrible pronunciations of German titles, he does none of the usual intros to the tracks this episode, and reserves his general comments to the opening of the show.

--Aguirre I (l'acrime di rei & Flöte); Morgengruss II; & Agnus Dei from "Aguirre, the Wrath of God" (1972) --Tracks 1 & 4 from "The Great Ecstasy of the Woodcarver Steiner" (1975) --Engel Der Gegenwart & Hüter Der Schwelle from "Heart of Glass" (1976) --Brüder Des Schattens; Mantra 2; & Die Nacht Der Himmel from "Nosferatu the Vampyre" (1979) --Wehe Khorazin & Im Garten der Gemeinschaft from "Fitzcarraldo" (1982) --Der Tod des Cobra Verde from "Cobra Verde" (1988)

Opening and closing music: Magic and Ecstasy from "Exorcist II: The Heretic" by Ennio Morricone, and The Shadow of the Killer from "Death Rage" by Guido & Maurizio De Angelis.

This week Lee and Leah each bring a musical that they love to the show, that the other host has not seen before, and compare and contrast. Lee brings 1979's "Rock 'n' Roll High School", starring PJ Soles and his favourite rock band of all time, The Ramones! Leah beings the over-the-top Baz Luhrmann-directed "Moulin Rouge!" (2001), featuring a young Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman being really hot. What did each host think of the other's pick? Were the Ramones good actors? What were high school dress codes like in the 1980s? Is "Rock 'n' Roll High School" just a big Ramones commercial? Is it a secret vansploitation film? Leah rants about how high school should not define your life. Does "Moulin Rouge!"'s use of modern pop music work? Is Ewan McGregor much of a hero in the film? All of this and much more, including a ton of listener comments. Hey baby won't you take a chance? Join us in the Moulin Rouge and let us have this dance!

Leah and Lee learn of the dangers of mixing greed and horniness in the old west, as they talk about Paul Bartel's "Lust in the Dust" (1985). Lots of talk about Divine and where they were in their career at this point, and their overall influence; the interesting cast and their dedication to this material; the musical numbers; stunt nudity; dangerous oral sex; and a very explicit lap dance on Henry Silva's corpse, among other topics. Also, and extend bit on what the hosts were watching, as Leah has some thoughts about a movie she recently watched; and also she was having some mechanical problems with her alcoholic beverages during the recording. Come get lusty and dusty with us!

Lee, Leah, and returning OG host Daniel take a look at an all-time classic gangster movie this time out with Martin Scorsese's "Goodfellas" (1990). The conversation revolves around where Scorsese was career-wise at this point; the ages of the actors compared to the ages of their real-life counterparts; brilliant performances; brilliant shots; violence; pasta sauce; the realities of the wiseguy lifestyle; wigs; and just what a flipper disc was, among a lot of other topics. Also, the hosts play another round of the IMDB Stattogories game and talk about what they've watched recently. Now, grab your fucking shine box and give us a listen.

Lee and Leah return this week to cover a listener request. This time out it is a film featuring thinly-veiled fictionalized versions of David Bowie and Iggy Pop (and some Lou Reed) in the height of the Glam Rock era of the 1970s - told in the same fashion as a certain specific Orson Welles film - the Todd Haynes written-and-directed-"Velvet Goldmine" (1998). The conversation focuses around the look of the film and the performances; if the way the story is told is effective; the LGBTQ representation; Ewan McGregor's cock and balls; and collecting albums back in the day, to just name a few topics. Lee also introduces Leah to a fun new movie-related game that will pop up on the show again in the future, and they play a few rounds of it. So put on your shiny jumpsuit, throw on some glitter, and come rock with us for a while, why don't you?

Lee returns to finish off his look at the music from the films of Amicus Productions. The material covered here comes from their peak and rapid decline. While the films may have started to lower in quality by the mid-1970s, it can be argued that the scores and soundtracks were still top notch. Listen in, and Lee believes you'll agree with him.
