1:01:06 – We’re back on the Schlock Express to explore the world of low-rent vigilante movies, looking at the difference between rogue cops and vigilante cops enroute. A selection of eighties titles gives us a chance to explore the idea of Vietnam as a causal factor in urban vigilantism, lady vigilantes fighting for the kind of feminism that male viewers of this schlock can cheer on and a fake sequel to a non-existent original.

Counterfeit World), after which he is joined by his wife Luna in Kentucky (at 28:30) for her comments on the Chinese edition of Simulacron-3, followed immediately by a pertinent A.I. song Dave generated using Suno.ai, after which he is joined by Eddie Murray (at 37:40), Chad Bowers (at 1:20:24) and Frank Edward Nora (at 1:53:52) for their various and sundry views on simulation, speculation and revelation.

57:20 – By decree of Donald J Trumper, this is a politics free edition. Well, maybe. This time around, Doc Sleaze’s natural scepticism is put to the test as he ponders as to why he has never been invited to join the local coven and why weird phenomena never happen to him, either. Also included, an excursion into classic British smut and the sexual orientation of the Tate brothers. Little Miss Strange brings us some entirely deniable celebrity scandal and gossip in ‘Total Bollocks’ and we drop in on edition of ‘Action Business Bulletin’ to examine the impact of US tariffs.

48:05 – As a new age of American fascism dawns, Doc Sleaze explores his theory that the US elected a psychopathic fascist as president because they are a nation of psychopaths. The Doc also gives short shrift to media attempts to rationalise the chaos of the Trump administration, lectures the UK press on its inability to grasp the principles of democracy and looks into the UK right’s obsession that foreign criminals are ‘crowding out’ indigenous villains.
