I'm sure most of you know the drill at this point but one episode every other month around these parts is a special episode where you folks nominate and vote for that week's double feature! Democracy!

Your last vote was for BLUE VELVET (1986) + SERIAL MOM (1994) which we just dropped. The next episode you're voting on will be for one of our episodes in August!

This is our 22nd time doing this so I'm sure that most of you know the drill by now but in case you don't, once again:

1) Comment below with your double feature ideas/requests of pre-2000s genre films we haven't already covered (maybe include an argument for the pairing to convince others for part 2.)

2) Look at other people's double features below and hit the "like" button on it to upvote theirs if you think it's a good one.

This post will be up for about a week or so and after the results are in we will put the most upvoted double features into a poll for everyone to vote on more officially.

AND GO!

Harrison Rees

Barry Lyndon (1975) + The Duellists (1977) - Two films about guys attempting to navigate codes of honour, status and masculinity set against the backdrop of the Age of Enlightenment, both containing some of the greatest duels put to screen.

Cade Yeager

Jaws (1975) and Alien (1979). Episode 10 of Sleazoids covered The Terminator and Robocop. We would never get an episode like that in 2024 because it would be over five hours long... well who said we didn't want a five hour episode? It's Jaws and JAW$ IN SPACE!

Jacob McLaughlin

Tremors and Alligator: Two of the best Jawsploitation movies!

James Francis

Meet The Feebles (1989) + American Pop (1981) - two sleazy pervert 80s musicals by genre auteurs Peter Jackson and Ralph Bakshi

Grant Klevgaard

My Lucky Stars (1985) and Millionaire’s Express (1986). A couple Sammo Hung helmed kung-fu movies that are more about the gags in between the opening and closing action set pieces.

Steven Carlson

ANTHROPOPHAGUS and ABSURD - a pair from Joe D'Amato that features George Eastman as a mutated homunculous just absolutely fucking up everyone he comes in contact with.

Knuckle Scraper

Them! (1954) and Tremors (1990) giant creepy crawlie critters terrorizing the desert

DartSpieg

The Tin Star (1957) and Devil's Doorway (1950)- Two black and white Anthony Mann westerns that use the frontier to comment on 50s America's attitudes about race, particularly miscegenation. Both also got great physical releases recently!

Mad Michael

THE BELIEVERS (1987) + SE7EN (1995) An investigation into a series of urban religious killings that hits too close to home. And Se7en.

Matthew Wood

Speed (1994) + Turbulence (1997) - two films about out of control transportation with eccentric villains and heroic women who take charge in the time of need. Speed is also celebrating its 30th anniversary this year and Turbulence is getting a long overdue bluray release.

Cory N.

The Trip (1967) and Head (1968) - Two groovy, psychedelic B-movies written by Jack Nicholson! Roger Corman's LSD drama The Trip and Bob Rafelson's surreal music industry satire starring The Monkees, Head

Cameron Watson

Hana-bi and Raging Bull Two directors examining personal near-death experiences through their subjects self-destruction. Also just two phenomenal movies!!!

James D. Froio

McCabe and Mrs. Miller (1971) & Jeremiah Johnson (1972). Snow westerns baby 🤙

Jackson Littlewood

EATING RAOUL (1982) + THE COOK, THE THIEF, HIS WIFE, AND HER LOVER (1989): food-related crime films with cannibalism as a footnote

John

Hidden Agenda (1990) + Resurrection Man (1998) Ken Loach and Marc Evans each capture the paranoia, violence and horror of Northern Ireland during the Troubles.

Ross McWilliams

The Birds (1963) & Jaws (1975). Nature vs man.

Brian Blake

The Rainmaker (1997) and The Gingerbread Man (1998) - 2 New Hollywood gods, Coppola and Altman, tackle John Grisham Southern legal thrillers and imprint their signatures on the genre.

Jeff Coutts

Fascination (1979) & Lips of Blood (1975). A double feature of Jean Rollin’s sensual, dreamy and ethereal vampire movies.

Roman

Don't Torture a Duckling (1972; dir. Lucio Fulci) and The Name of Rose (1986; dir. Jean-Jacques Annaud). I think I heard the former mentioned before on the show, but I would love to hear you guys discuss these two in a double feature! These are two very surreal crime thrillers that each harshly criticize the Catholic church. Both involve murderous and sadistic portrayals of clergy but also prominently criticize the political and social connections and rules of the church. As a recovering Catholic myself, these both stood out to me as really personal in their portrayals of Catholicism and the fear it exerts to maintain social control; also, both films are just really nasty thrillers full of Catholic iconography and experimental editing. Both seem to also reflect the close connections between the Catholic church and fascist European leaders during World War II, especially Franco and Mussolini. The latter is set in a medieval monastery, but feels incredibly of its time; it even has Ron Perlman memorably eating a rat. Anyway, thanks so much for the great show. I always look forward to listening to you guys!

I guess the double feature rationale would be European anti-Catholic exploitation thrillers.

Catherine Woods

So movies you haven’t covered. That’s a challenge! How about Vampyr from 1932 Carl Dreyer and the original Dracula with Bela from 1932 (Todd Browning). Obviously the subject matter and year create a nexus but the differences in direction and style make a cool contrast

Ben Badger

“Midnight Cowboy” (1969, John Schlesinger) + “The French Connection” (1971, William Friedkin). Two gritty, down-and-dirty NYC classics that won Best Picture in their respective years - it’s hard to believe there was a time when films such as these were considered worthy of Hollywood’s most prestigious prize.

Ed Browne

STRAW DOGS (1971) and DELIVERANCE (1972). City dwellers fighting for their lives during conflict with rural people with a theme of violence as a rite of manhood..

Andrew Gaines

Deep Rising (1998) plus, depending on how you want to compare and contrast things, two very differently received Stephen Sommers follow-ups, The Mummy (1999) or Van Helsing (2004). Deep Rising has one of the best casts in a genre flick of that era, one of the late, great, Treat Williams' best performances, and fantastic pacing. Would love to hear your take on it.

Noah Vasseur

Tank Girl (1995) + Six String Samurai (1998) Punk rock wasteland!

Alternatively, do a double Treat Williams feature with the workmanlike dtv fun of The Substitute 2

Simon Ostick

SNEAKERS (1992) + HACKERS (1995). Early internet heist movies. Two groups of freaks taking down larger conspiracies at the dawn of the information age.

Brian Blake

RIP Donald Sutherland. KELLY'S HEROES and M*A*S*H - two 1970 war films that lean into comedy and feature Donald Sutherland.

Jealous Cactus

Spirited Away (2001) and Pan's Labyrinth (2006): Fantasy escapism from childhood trauma. While they're after 2000, they are both all time great filmmakers that deserve to be covered.

Steve T

Earth Girls are Easy (1988) and Species (1995): Two movies about aliens coming to earth for the express purpose of getting some strange.

Ben DeIulis

Q: The Winged Serpent and Society Just a couple of fun movies

The Out

Blown Away (1994) and The Devils Own (1997). My favorite comfort era of film is ‘90s Boston crime movies set during (and loosely about) The Troubles. The Devils Own is a somber exploration of that world whereas Blown Away features *The Best* cocaine-era Tommy Lee Jones performance outside of natural born killers. He’s literally a looney tunes villain.

Elijah Crawford

Das Boot (1981) and Come and See (1985): These are two bleak and almost hypnotic WW2 films from both sides of the conflict. A Nazi U-Boat crew on one side and Belarusian partisans on the other.

Samuel McGuire

Szyszka has me in a Burtish mood. How about White Lightning and Hooper?

Nirvana Hotdog

I'd love to hear the Sleazoids take on BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS (1980) & GALAXY OF TERROR (1981) -- two exploitation follow-ons to Star Wars & Alien, respectively, both produced by Roger Corman, both starring oddly-cast TV 70s stars (Richard Thomas, Erin Moran) in lead roles, and both stacked with tons of great genre actors (John Saxon, Robert Englund, Sid Haig, Grace Zabriske, & many others). [Note some non-consensual alien on human woman grossness in GoT]
