They Must Be Destroyed On Sight‪!‬ Lee Russell

Lee is joined this episode by his friend and fellow podcaster Cameron Scott to continue the podcast's extended look at Roger Corman-directed and produced films. This time out its two wildly different motorcycle films, the first being Corman's own "The Wild Angels" (1966), starring Peter Fonda, Nancy Sinatra, Bruce Dern and Diane Ladd as members of a violent, and unfortunately, quite rapey chapter of the Hells Angels. Then it's David Carradine and Claudia Jennings in the spiritual sequel to "Deathrace 2000", "Deathsport" (1978), directed by Allan Arkush, Nicholas Niciphor & Corman. Does a production so troubled as this film had equal a terrible finished product, or are there joys to be had with such a jumbled mess? Put on your helmet, hop on our future bikes, and find out!

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.
