SLEAZOIDS
SLEAZOIDS
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.

Hosts Josh and Jamie and special guest artist Morgan Patten discuss artist obsession and the ability of cinema to bend reality with a double feature of Spanish filmmaker Iván Zulueta's attempt to turn his own heroin-addiction and internal battle with the commercial/artistic side of himself into an abstract arthouse meta-horror dream ARREBATO (1979) and Italian filmmaker Giuliano Montaldo's cool merging of single-location murder mystery, Italian TV police procedural and supernatural meta-horror film CLOSED CIRCUIT (1978).

Hosts Josh and Jamie and special returning guest critic Adam Nayman discuss 90s music video directors making atmospheric horror-procedurals with a double feature of David Fincher's aggressively unpleasant yet perversely watchable urban neo-noir/serial killer thriller SE7EN (1995) starring Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman and Mark Pellington's depressed, slow-burn supernatural folklore horror drama THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES (2002) starring Richard Gere and Laura Linney.
