They Must Be Destroyed On Sight!

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?

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!

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.

Lee and Daniel finish up their Robert Redford retrospective by talking about two of his directorial efforts.
