Hosts Josh and Jamie and special returning guest Adam Nayman kick off Spooktober 2023 by discussing a double feature of acclaimed, European arthouse horror enigmatically structured around loss, obsession, and predestined convergences: Nicolas Roeg's gothic, surreally impressionistic grieving couple psychological horror film DON'T LOOK NOW (1973) and George Sluizer's more clinical, hypnotic kidnapping procedural thriller THE VANISHING (1988).

Next week's episode is a patron-exclusive bonus episode on Roger Corman, Vincent Price and Edgar Allen Poe: HOUSE OF USHER (1961) and THE PIT AND THE PENDULUM (1961), you can get access to that episode (and all past + future bonus episodes) by subscribing to our $5 tier on Patreon: www.patreon.com/sleazoidspodcast

297 - DON'T LOOK NOW (1973) + THE VANISHING (1988) ft. Adam Nayman

We followed Giorgio Trestini to the amazing 1974 thriller Don't Look Now! Erasing psychics??? Us??!! Never!

Chain Reaction: Open Season

Don't Look Now (Giorgio Trestini)

We followed editor Graeme Clifford to 1976's The Man Who Fell to Earth. David Bowie is painfully thin, Rip Torn is incredibly naked, and Buck Henry does a weird spit bubble thing that none of us can explain. Can you?

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.

Three friends agree to watch every episode and movie of the television hit Hart to Hart to determine once and for all if Hart to Hart is a good show. Join Ellen Ito (the devoted lover) Erik Blood (the nostalgic acquaintance) and Joe Garber (the dubious virgin) on a journey filled with fabulous fashions, furious fistfights, and of course MURDER!
