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 celebrate the holidays by discussing the 1984 California Christmas genre-bending cult cinema of Thom Eberhardt with a double feature of his pop-rock B-movie mix of post-apocalyptic science-fiction, zombie survival action-horror, and 80s consumerism satire/new wave teen girl hangout movie in NIGHT OF THE COMET and his moody high-concept slow-burn sci-fi horror film SOLE SURVIVOR that may or may not have inspired FINAL DESTINATION.
