Hosts Josh and Jamie and special returning guest Spencer Rider (of Those Good Old Fashioned Values + Get Cynical) discuss two impeccably crafted, process-based French thriller classics with a double feature of Henri-Georges Clouzot's white knuckle depiction of precarious, expendable labor in THE WAGES OF FEAR (1953) and Jacques Becker's authentic, biographical prison break movie LE TROU (1960). Next week's episode is a patron-exclusive bonus episode on more prison escape films: A MAN ESCAPED (1956) and ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ (1979), 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

291 - THE WAGES OF FEAR (1953) + LE TROU (1960) ft. Spencer Rider

A wrong-headed approach to the premise, The Wages of Fear should've picked the name of a less beloved and less awesome movie.

Episode 814: The Wages of Fear (2024)

Welcome movie friends! Join Scott as he goes through the wonderful world of movies including lists, old favorites, scene analysis, and tropes.

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.
