They Must Be Destroyed On Sight‪!‬ Lee Russell

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!

There is no regular episode this time out, yet again, but Lee had time to talk about two films he screened for friends a couple of days previous to recording; those being Joe Dante's "The Howling (1981) & the Bruce Pittman-directed, in-name-only sequel to "Prom Night", "Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II" (1987).
Featured Music: "Kiss of Death" by Issac Rother & The Phantoms, and "Wolf" by Guido & Maurizio De'Angelis.

In this episode Lee and Leah tackle an animated feature: the often funny, but ultimately pretty heavy and harrowing "Persepolis" (2007). This film, written and directed by Marjane Satrapi & Vincent Paronnaud, adapts Satrapi's striking graphic novel about her life growing up in Iran, and later France, in the wake of the Iranian Revolution. The hosts also talk about what they've watched as of late, including thoughts on the new "Fallout" tv series.

So far it's been slow going for April on the podcast, so Lee decided to do a quick intermission episode covering his thoughts on three Italian genre films he recently screened for friends, and the new "Fallout" tv show that is now on Amazon Prime.
Featured Music: "Sabata Theme #1" by Marcello Giombini & "My Name" by Bruno Nicolai.
