TMBDOS! Episode 376: "Bikini Summer" (1991).
2w ago01:44:27Tap to summarizeLee and Daniel are joined by new guest Erin, from the Manic Movie Monday Podcast, to cover the Robert Veze-directed sex comedy "Bikini Summer" (1991), from PM Entertainment. As this is a film Erin grew up with, we get into a pretty deep dive into some of its cast, and its place in the exploding direct-to-video & made-for-cable sex comedy market (as well as just softcore and hardcore porn in general) in the 1990s. Because Erin is a first time guest, she gets to play BEYOND BELIEF: MOVIE FACT OR FICTION, with our good friend Jonathan Frakes! The hosts also talk about things they've watched as of late, and we got some listener feedback in audio form! Don't worry about the plot, we'll find one in the last 30 minutes, and resolve everything in the last ten! Until then we'll distract you with our boobies. "Bikini Summer' IMDB Check out Erin's excellent podcast here. Lee on Bluesky, Instagram, and Letterboxd. Listen to Daniel punch Nazis on the I Don't Speak German podcast.

TMBDOS! Episode 373: "Farewell My Concubine" (1993).
Jun 1501:56:27Tap to summarizeIn this Pride month-themed episode, Lee, Daniel, Gary Hill, and the returning Lady Leah (!), talk about the tragic Chinese epic "Farewell My Concubine" (1993), directed by Kaige Chen. The hosts try their best to talk about the themes of abuse, sex, and gender (and a bit of regular politics) revolving around a half-a-century-spanning historical drama from a culture they have very little knowledge of. The conversation felt fruitful enough to share, as much of the themes present, even if presented in a context they don't fully understand, are still quite universal. The hosts also talk about what they've watched as of late (and in some cases read!?!). We invite you to come train for our version of the Peking Opera, now with 100% less abuse! "Farewell My Concubine" IMDB Check out Lee's latest podcast appearances on Cinema Beef, The Grindbin, and Movie Melt! Check out Gary Hill's shows on his feed The Butcher Shop.

TMBDOS! Episode 371: "Straight to Hell" & "Walker" (1987).
May 1801:29:25Tap to summarizeLee is joined by Daeron Wilson to talk about two films from 1987 that seemingly destroyed Alex Cox's mainstream credibility. First up it's the crazed, surreal, punk rock spaghetti western parody "Straight to Hell"; then they turn their attention to a bio picture unlike any other: "Walker". Were these movies the pieces of garbage most critics seemed to think they were back then, or was Alex Cox just WAY ahead of his time. Hint: it was the latter. The hosts also talk about what they've watched recently. So bring your gang into our dusty little town, have a few drinks, a few laughs, and maybe you'll join us in a bit of innocent imperialism. "Straight to Hell" IMDB "Walker" IMDB Lee and Daniel's recent guest spot on Everything I Learned from Movies. Check out Daeron's excellent podcast here. Lee on Bluesky, Instagram, and Letterboxd. Featured Music: "Rake at the Gate of Hell" by The Pogues, "Salsa y Ketchup" by Zander Schloss, and "Unknown Immortal" by Joe Strummer.
