Martial artist and Hollywood actor Bruce Lee passed away a mere month before the release of his breakthrough Gung Fu film Enter the Dragon. Easily dismissed as a remake of Doctor No that rehashed a famous scene from Orson Welles’ The Lady From Shanghai, Enter the Dragon has several puzzling loopholes neither the screenwriter, editor, or director could fix. However, this Hong Kong production cashed in on Lee’s California Connections, his personalized style of Jeet Kune Do, and Lee’s absolute determination to finally make a 'western' film his way. Join Mike White of the Projection Booth Podcast as we go scene by scene and discuss how a forgone tragedy turned into not only the film Bruce Lee is most remembered for, but the seminal martial arts movie for an entire generation.

Mike White of the Projection Booth Podcast was nice enough to sit for a Special Report for the Super 70 Podcast.

217 - POLICE PYTHON 357 (1976) + THE BELL FROM HELL (1973) ft. Nick Pinkerton

Over several years, to 2019, I re-edited Keith LeBlanc's classic "Major Malfunction" album to make it "full length", according to an imaginary concept in my head.

The full story, in gory detail, is here: https://jrbinks.wordpress.com/2019/12/28/major-malfunction-reimagined/

This is the first time I have made this full length, 2hr 16m version publicly available.  A 2hr edit was featured On The Wire in October 2019: https://otwradio.blogspot.com/2019/10/playlist-26th-october-2019.html

What did Keith think of it?  Well I told him I was doing it, he showed some interested and thanked me for asking his permission, but didn't respond when I sent him the final versions and other commentary.  So I don't know ... and now I never will.

In memory of Keith LeBlanc.

Some backward masking on Screamin' Jay Hawkins's "Temptation."  Unless I'm nuts it sounds like he says "I'm Satan" clear as day.
