Lee & Daniel are joined by fellow podcaster Daeron Wilson (of the The Psychosemantic Podcast) to cover the late 1990s coming of age punk rock hangout film "SLC Punk!" (1998), written and directed by James Merendino and starring Matthew Lillard & Michael Goorjian. Punk culture, posers, sell-outs, and crazy Til Schweiger threatening to steal the entire film away, are just a few of the things talked about. Are you selling out or buying in? Come listen and let us know! "SLC Punk!" IMDB Check out Daeron's excellent podcast here. Lee on Bluesky, Instagram, and Letterboxd. Listen to Daniel punch Nazis on the I Don't Speak German podcast.

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!

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! This month Lee's built a big playlist of selections from his peak years, which stretched from the early 1960s through to the late 1970s. --The Escaped Prisoner from "Lorna" (1964) --Hal Hopper --Lorna from "Lorna" (1964) --Hal Hopper & Bob Grabeau --Whiskey Mash from "Mudhoney" (1965) --André Brummer --Mysterioso Minor & The Snatch from "Faster, Pussycat!

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. "Tootsie" IMDB Catch Wick and his fantastic art here. Lee on Bluesky, Instagram, and Letterboxd.

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. "Stand by Me" IMDB "Misery" IMDB Lee on Bluesky, Instagram, and Letterboxd.

Regardless of if you like the work of Quentin Tarantino or not, it can not be denied that he curates killer soundtracks for his films. Much like how he borrows visually and thematically from the films of the past to create his own unique film architecture, he often layers in music from other films in other to do much the same. Sometimes the music is there just to accent a scene and make it cooler, sometimes it's a deeper meta reference. Sometimes it just doesn't work at all, but nobody always hits the target all the time. With the announcement that Tarantino is working on his (according to him) tenth and final film, "The Movie Critic", Lee decided it was time to look back at his body of work as it stands right now, and choose the tracks from his filmography that he loves best. Because there's so much to dig into, this will be part one of a two part series of super-sized episodes. "Reservoir Dogs" (1992) --Little Green Bag --The George Baker Selection --Stuck in the Middle With You --Steelers Wheel --Coconut --Harry Nilsson "Pulp Fiction" (1994) --Miserlou --Dick Dale --Ace of Spades --Link Wray --Comanche --The Revels --Bustin' Surfboards --The Tornadoes --If Love is a Red Dress (Hang Me in Rags) --Maria McKee "Jackie Brown" (1997) --Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time) --The Delfonics --Cissy Strut --The Meters --The Lion and the Cucumber --The Vampire's Sound Incorporation --Exotic Dance, Escape, & Aragon --Roy Ayers --Street Life --Randy Crawford --Long Time Woman --Pam Grier --Who is He (And What is He to You) --Bill Withers --Across 110th Street --Bobby Womack "Kill Bill: Volume 1" (2003) --The Flower of Carnage --Meiko Kaji --Battle Without Honor or Humanity --Tomoyasu Hotei --Theme from Ironside --Quincy Jones --The Lonely Shepherd --Gheorghe Zamfir & James Last --Twisted Nerve --Bernard Herrmann --That Certain Female --Charlie Feathers --Crane/White Lightning --RZA & Charles Bernstein --Run Faye Run --Isaac Hayes --The Grand Duel (Parte Prima) --Luis Bacalov --Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) --Nancy Sinatra "Kill Bill: Volume 2" (2004) --Motorcycle Circus --Luis Bacalov --Malagueña Salerosa --Chingon --Can't Hardly Stand It --Charlie Feathers --The Chase --Alan Reeves, Phil Steele, and Philip Brigham --A Silhouette of Doom & L'arena --Ennio Morricone Opening and closing music: Summertime Killer from "Summertime Killer" by Luis Bacalov, and Santa Maria from "Raiders of Atlantis" by Oliver Onions.
