    TMBDOS! Episode 374: "Pride" (2014).

    Lady Leah returns (again!) to bring Lee and Daniel another pick for Pride month. This time out it's a film all about the subject at hand: Matthew Warchus' "Pride" (2014). How does this somewhat light-heated take on the real life queer-supported miner's strike in 1980s Britian play out? The hosts also chat about what they've watched recently. So come on, jump into our awesome little gay van, we've got some blue collar solidarity to do!

    TMBDOS! Episode 373: "Farewell My Concubine" (1993).

    In 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!

    TMBDOS! Episode 372: "Two-Lane Blacktop" (1971).

    Lee and Daniel are joined by Robby and Wick to talk about another existential road film from the 1970s, with Monte Hellman's "Two-Lane Blacktop" (1971), starring James Taylor, Dennis Wilson, Laurie Bird, and the great Warren Oates. What's this stripped-down minimalist gearhead/road movie all about anyway? The hosts have ideas! Lee also talks about some recent watches. So just slip into the backseat of our chevy uninvited and take a ride with us! "Two-Lane Blacktop' IMDB  Check out Wick on Instagram.  Lee on Bluesky, Instagram, and Letterboxd.    Listen to Daniel punch Nazis on the I Don't Speak German podcast.

    TMBDOS! Episode 371: "Straight to Hell" & "Walker" (1987).

    Lee 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.
