This week we talked about a movie so nasty @bransonreese.bsky.social apologized for selecting it and @theworstnun.bsky.social was forced to defend it via text message.

Sleazoids is a great podcast that did not deserve this all out attack from me.

If you do a show called "SLEAZOIDS" long enough I suppose at some point you have to accept that @bransonreese.bsky.social is going to make you log something that puts you on a government watchlist.

Someone (aka @theworstnun.bsky.social) finally had us talk about the movie where Guy Pearce & Robert Carlyle want to romantically cannibalize each other as part of a larger horror-western metaphor for America's insatiable manifest destiny greed. Also one of the best (and weirdest) movie scores ever.

This week we continued Noirvember with a pair of LA blaxploitation neo-noirs/crime-thrillers about black women in desperate sociopolitical situations taking matters into their own outlaw action hero hands.

An opportunity to share one of my favorite original lobby cards that I own!!! Robert Mitchum drunkenly watching Bobby Orr and going “what a future he’s got, huh?” not knowing what’s about to happen to him makes me tear up.

🕵️‍♂️ 406 - OUT OF THE PAST (1947) + FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE (1973) 🕵️‍♂️

This week we discussed Robert Mitchum's long face and sad, weary eyes in Tourneur's classic, tragic prototypical 40s film noir and Yates' blunt, unglamourous Boston bank-robbing 70s neo-noir.

NOIRVEMBER is upon us, and we were lucky enough to have
@meganabbott.bsky.social on to talk about two of her favs: Edgar G. Ulmer's dirty, depressed, intensely psychologically subjective murderous hitchhiking noir and Val Lewton/Mark Robson's bleak, satanic Gothic-horror conspiracy-mystery noir.

🕵️‍♂️ 405 - DETOUR (1945) + THE 7TH VICTIM (1943) ft.
@meganabbott.bsky.social 🕵️‍♂️

This week we kicked off Noirvember with two of the most dreamlike, expressionist & nihilistic 40s B-noirs.

Looks like our pals at the Sleazoids podcast are now over here. Give them some love.

For the first time in my lifetime our Toronto Blue Jays are going to the World Series.

Got the deal.

Literally anytime!!

This week we had @slimyswampghost.bsky.social back on the pod to discuss a pair of disgusting 1980s Video Nasty slashers that are at times also relaxing, slow-burn remote island travelogues. Pretty hard to scrub the image of George Eastman tearing a fetus out of the womb & chowing down on it after.

🎃 403 - ANTHROPOPHAGOUS (1980) + THE SLAYER (1982) ft. @slimyswampghost.bsky.social 👻
