Lee is back this month with a mix of music selections from Italian action films from the 1980s. There's some superhero antics, some comedic slapstick action, late period poliziotteschi, and items that fall under the "macaroni combat" moniker.

Lee's back this month to cover more score/soundtrack selections from vanity projects. That's right - those special films made by special people with a special vision.

This month Lee takes a look at selections from the scores from two notable 1970s Samurai exploitation film series, "Hanzo the Razor" & "Lone Wolf and Cub".
