Perdida Durango with guest Thomas Voorhies
Painter and novelist Thomas Voorhies takes the Blow Seat to hit your hosts with a chaser to their WILD AT HEART episode. Buckle up for the insane and profane PERDIDA DURANGO (1997), directed by Alex de la Iglesia. Starring Rosie Perez and Javier Bardem, this is the "lovers on a crime spree" flick to murder 'em all. There's no shortage of blood splatters, but will there be brains blown? Don't miss this lost episode from Duncan and Lex's audio archives.

King of New York
If it were 1990 all over again, and someone forced you to predict the future stars of the decade, all you'd have to do is point to KING OF NEW YORK, directed by Abel Ferrara. It wouldn't be an episode of DIBYMTT without Lex and Duncan spiraling into an existential crisis about the meaning of the podcast, but this violent crime epic has them agreeing on monster performances ... and that Ferrara might be the most ferocious indie director of all time. In the end, though, all that matters is Duncan's final judgement on the film. Did it, or didn't it blow his mind?

Life Lessons
Who says you can't pick a short? This go-round, Duncan chooses LIFE LESSONS, directed by Martin Scorsese, from NEW YORK STORIES (1989). The duo discusses how this mid-career Marty might just be major Marty. While Lex admits that '80s Scorsese is his favorite era of the director's work, will this forgotten entry (and first collab with Nolte) surpass its runtime and blow his mind?

The Counselor
The DIBYMTT boys get literary with Cormac McCarthy's THE COUNSELOR (2013), directed by Ridley Scott. This time, it's Lex's pick, and the pod gets steamy with career analysis of Brad Pitt, Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, and Michael Fassbender. But can Duncan handle all that sexiness, plus cheetahs and killer bolo ties?! Find out if he thinks this is an underappreciated gem or a bloated excuse for a fashion shoot.

Winter Kills
How fitting that Season 3 kicks off in these coldest of months with ... WINTER KILLS (1979). This time, Duncan dances with danger, hitting Lex with yet another Jeff Bridges cult flick from the '70s. STAY HUNGRY didn't blow Lex's mind; it blew up in Duncan's face. But can this thinly veiled JFK conspiracy thriller with a super-stacked cast bring redemption? Hold onto your sideburns for the return of DIBYMTT.

Return of the Halloween Double-Header
Duncan and Lex tease Season 3 with a frightening face-off for Halloween. SPLICE (2009) vs. THE DEVIL'S CANDY (2015). Two movies in one ep? Who's gonna clean up all those splattered braaaaaains?

Harry & Tonto
Duncan hits Lex with another road movie, but this one isn't out of the blue — it's one he's been pushing for 20 years. Art Carney takes an Oscar-winning dramedy turn, playing opposite a cat named Tonto. Lex loves the films he's seen by Paul Mazursky (BOB & CAROL & TED & ALICE, DOWN AND OUT IN BEVERLY HILLS), but is this his kind of Mazursky? The hosts go head-to-head once again to see if they can end Season 2 with a ... BLOW.
