Hosts Josh and Jamie and special guest documentary filmmaker Lance Oppenheim discuss two films that inspired his latest HBO mini-series REN FAIRE with a double feature of George Romero's dorky, tender two-and-half-hour Hawksian community hangout melodrama about people who run a motorcycle gearhead Arthurian renaissance faire KNIGHTRIDERS (1981) and the most mixed bag/cursed object anyone has brought on the show: TWILIGHT ZONE: THE MOVIE (1983) directed by John Landis, Steven Spielberg, Joe Dante and George Miller.

335 - KNIGHTRIDERS (1981) + TWILIGHT ZONE: THE MOVIE (1983) ft. Lance Oppenheim

Welcome fellow SLEAZOIDS!!! Come along as hosts Josh Lewis and Jamie Miller (and, occasionally, guests) go down the rabbit hole of 20th century genre fare from the most influential canon classics to the the trashiest exploitation films we can get our hands on. Each week is a double feature—grindhouse style—where we discuss two films loosely related by subject, genre, actor, filmmaker or franchise and at the end of each episode, along with our HONORARY SLEAZOIDS (click on over to our patreon to become one), we decide on ratings and rankings for each film that's covered. Join us as together we work to uncover the best genre films of 20th century.
