Give Me Back My Action&Horror Movies

The original plan was to have several short responses from our podcasting family to celebrate Pet Semetery, or is it Cemetery....if I was Sean Connery would it be Pet Shemetery? Would Daffy Duck say Phet Spfhemtery?  Anywhoo, while our guests adhered to Nate's guidelines we clearly did not and the conversation turned into a wonderful rabbit hole filled with inappropriate jokes.

So we hope you enjoy our take on a Podcast Tasting if ...

We were able to pull Troy out of retirement to join us for the movie that put Jackie Chan on the map. There's a fine discussion whether or not this is Jackie's best movie but it's inarguable that Police Story is what caught the attention of moviegoers world wide and began the rise of an action star. It wasn't a huge surprised that this was a first watch for Troy but we all about fell off our chairs when we learned that this was als...

Welcome to the first episode of our new companion show B-Action where we put the 'B' back in action. Join hosts Charlie and Dustin as they lockdown the fantastic action sci-fi classic "Fortress" starring Christopher Lambert and Kurtwood Smith.  Also the guys give a rundown of the new show and talk about what they have planned for this new venture...but yeah, they definitely dig into this B level flick and all its cheesy gory goodne...

The guys takes a turn from the fun action and horror movies we normally cover to a film that is dark, brutal and frankly difficult to watch. No not because it's bad but because it's horrifically real.  'I Saw the Devil' is a revenge film that pulls no punches when it comes to it's graphic subject nature. Explicit scenes of gore and violence topped off with several extreme scenes of *redacted* make this a challenge for even the the ...

After the Deep Star Six debacle, Charlie employed Steve from the Bucket of Chum Podcast as the naughty-cal ringer and there was no way in hell was Nate going to blow bubbles at Leviathan without a net. Leviathan doesn't hide the fact that it's catfishing movies like Alien and The Thing and thankfully it's executed well enough to mount on your wall. While the film won't leave you gasping for air, it certainly lands in all the right ...

This movie selection for the Month of Chaos was again won by Charlie, nah nothing sus here, and when it was announced that Highlander 2 was the movie, Nate and Pete double-downed on the legitimacy of the wheel that Charlie built. Then Nate puts his foot in his mouth and suggests that we watch both versions, which Pete had no idea existed and also surprised no one. Regardless of what we each thought, our conversation is spirited and...

Dracula: Dead and Loving it Man, comedy's are hard to cover. We tried really hard not to devolve into just repeating lines that cracked us up.  When I say tried I mean we had the intention and did it anyways. Film #3 for the Month of Chaos was a welcome surprise as we had the pleasure to see Mel Brooks' Dracula: Dead and Loving it. Admittedly, this is not Mel's best film but it's still Mel Brooks and we all howled with laughter a n...

Movie #2 for the "MONTH OF CHAOS" is an obscure one from Charlie. Denzel Washington and Russel Crow play an exciting cat and mouse game in a movie that desperately wants to be Demolition Man / T2 but without the charm.  None of us hated this film but it did leave us a little wanting; wanting it to end that is. That's not fair because the film wasn't bad but rather it dealt us an endless Lord of the Rings multiple ending montage. It...

Hi friends, Pete here. So...I'm told we recorded an episode covering Carnosaur. I love this stupid movie but it appears that my evil twin Blete slipped me a mickey and took over in my absence. I don't take any responsibility for his actions and Blete has been captured and returned to the asylum from whence he came. Even Josh from The Evil Deaths didn't know what to do with Blete. Any questions, concerns or cries of outrage and be d...

Cowabunga, dudes!

This is a special episode that is a love letter to anyone that grew up with the Turtles. We gush over our love for this group of outcasts that have a special place in our hearts and how pivotal they were in our childhood. This is our final send off to a fantastic month of kid friendly movies, each episode was filled with laughs, emotions and most importantly...heart. We hope you have enjoyed this month with us, an...

While Charlie and Nate were able to rent this underappreciated gem of a movie in their formative years, Pete was late to the show having seen it for the first time just a year ago at the behest of Charlie. What a ride. Had it had more time to spit polish and not gotten buried behind the release of Jurassic Park, the gang feels this could have been one of those films in everyone's regular rotation. Which makes this movie a strong re...

Possibly the ultimate gateway horror movie for kids is The Monster Squad.  While parts are certainly a "product of their time" as long as you have the conversation with your kiddos as to why some of the language and actions of the boys are NOT acceptable, this movie brings everything a young fan could want in a friendly digestible manner.  Or is it?  Those of us who grew up with this film will fiercely defend it as a classic but th...

For our second choice in our Kid's Month, Parker from Dissect That Film joined the cast for a family friendly love fest as we gush over Disney's Three Musketeers.  Yep, you heard that right, we just covered a Disney movie and oh boy is it fun. Honestly, The Three Musketeers skirts the edge of what can be considered kid-friendly with it's mostly bloodless violence and adult themes (boobs, boobs and more boobs) but so did Pirates of ...

Gremlins is a bona fide classic, heck, it helped create the PG-13 rating in America but when you say Gremlins 2 you typically get eye-rolls and groans of displeasure.  How terribly wrong these nay-sayers are.  In their defense, these scrooges were probably expecting more of what the first film gave us and weren't aware that Gremlins 2 is very much a spoof.  If you haven't revisited this film in a while we urge you to go back with f...

As the Month of Pete winds down we are both relieved and saddened to see it go. With movies like HK: The Forbidden Superhero, we can only pray it can't get worse but then shocks us as he introduces films that are so much fun we can't contain ourselves. Right out the gate, he hits us with 7th Curse, which is a legit classic but then ends the month with a movie that so wholly encompasses our childhood that it feels like a smack acros...

Horror, like comedy, is subjective and personal. What disturbs or horrifies one person can harmlessly bounce off another. Case in point is this weeks selection in the Month of Pete. Dark Water is hailed as one of the seminal examples of J-Horror from the early 2000s along with the likes of Ju-On and Ringu. The dread and madness of the film that delighted Troy and Pete fell completely flat for Charlie and Nate. Even though Charlie a...

Pete. That bastard. He did it again. After picking the marvelous 7th Curse as his first "Month of Pete" movie he goes and picks a movie so utterly awful that Nate and Charlie want to replace his ass as a host as soon as possible. The application process is pending so be on the look out. Pete...ugh...damn you Pete...picked another live action anime film that puts Cutie Honey to shame. I hate you Pete. This week we were subjected to ...
