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 ... more

  • Stone Cold

    I don’t even want you to begin to listen to you two dorks make fun of Stone Cold. You two wouldn’t and couldn’t even begin to imagine being big enough losers to criticize this movie. Why did you dream of being in a position to make fun of this?

    favorite movie-podcast.

    perfect mixture of knowledge, chatter & love for the medium.

    nowhere else will you find such a well curated selection of underrated, obscure or (morbidly) funny movies.

    thank you jamie, josh & their guests for your genuine content.

  • Awesome movie pod

    One of my favorite movie pods! Found the hosts through Letterboxd and glad that I started listening. The Patreon price is a little steep, but they release four 2-3 (sometimes 5!) hour episodes that are in depth and covering new movies, classics, and older gems. It’s always enjoyable to watch the movies and listen afterwards, regardless of the level of sleaze. Highly recommended.

  • Sleazy Business Model

    Great content and hosts, but a majority of their good stuff is behind their Patreon paywall that costs more than some streaming services.
