They Must Be Destroyed On Sight‪!‬ Lee Russell

Lee and Leah are joined by friends and fellow podcasters Matt (from Movie Melt) and Vaughn (from Motion Picture Massacre) to talk about the last film Roger Corman directed, 1990's "Frankenstein Unbound", an adaptation of Brian Aldiss' 1973 novel. A box office failure at the time, is this a complete mess or is it unfairly overlooked? Hop into your AI-controlled DeLorean Tesla and load up this podcast to find out!

Lee and Daniel kick-off an extended series on films either directed by (or in some way overseen by) the late Roger Corman. This time out it's the somewhat shoddy, but fun alien invasion flick "It Conquered the World" (1956), staring Lee Van Cleef and a very game Beverly Garland. Then they tackle the biggest swing Corman had made towards a mainstream sci-fi picture, with his "Magnificent Seven" in space film "Battle Beyond the Stars" (1980). Lots of ground is covered in this one, so round up your posse of space mercs and get ready to fight mind-controlling pickles from Venus.

Lee is joined this episode by his friends Greg and Nick to cover Dario Argento's "Opera" (1987). Many seem to think this is the last great Argento film. Is it, or is it an illogical mess, where it's clear Argento had started to slip as a director? Do crows actually seek revenge? All of this and more, including what the hosts have watched as of late is covered. Also, as Nick is a first-time guest, he gets to play the Movie God Game.

In this Intermission episode Lee gives some thoughts on the legacy of the recently deceased king of B-movies Roger Corman. He also talks about what he's been watching recently, including the new horror film "Abigail".

Lee finally gets around to doing a follow-up to the very first episode of Blood on the Tracks: music from 1970s crime and thriller films. Lee was short for time this month, so that equals less talking from him and much more music. It's a win-win!
