Give Me Back My Action&Horror Movies
While there are new movies that are fun and enjoyable, they just don‘t have the same impact as the Action and Horror Movies we remember as kids/teenagers. So we figured we were not alone in our nostalgia and created a podcast to entertain people who feel the same as us. We will talk about what made certain movies so memorable. We will talk about a movie so cheesy but still makes us smile. We will share a memory of watching a movie for the first time.
Episodes
The Month of Action is coming in strong with another banger as we welcome in Nate to help cover Mad Max: Fury Road. Wait...who? Nate? He's still alive? Indeed he is and comes in strong with everything we've been missing since Pete broke him in February. The consensus for the film is don't think too much and watch it on the biggest screen with the baddest sound system you can find. This movie will blow you away.
Did you ever dream of flying to the Middle East in a fighter jet to save your Dad from a group of terrorists? If not, you can stand in the corner with Dustin as we kick off “The Month of Action” with 1986’s IRON EAGLE! Bad ass tunes, bullies on dirt bikes, high speed fighter jets, and a rag tag group of underdogs highlight one of the most underrated movies of the 80’s! This is a stacked cast of future stars with an iconic performan...
Do you like to watch Yahtzees get killed in a number of creative ways? I know I like watching Yahtzees get killed in a number of creative ways. That said, we kick off the annual MONTH OF ACTION with a modern classic, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. For reasons that can't be understood, the film didn't do well in the theaters and we, as action fans, should be ashamed that we didn't get out and see it. Comparisons with Inglori...
WHY ARE WE YELLING?! BECAUSE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT KILLER ROBOTS WITH SPECIAL GUEST SEAN FROM MOVIE DUMPSTER!!! 1994’s Death Machine stars Brad Dourif as a classic maniacal, immature, perverted villain trying to maintain power and cause a shit load of chaos. He unleashes the ultimate killing machine called the “Warbeast” in a corporate building, killing anything and everything in its way! That includes walls! This movie has some brut...
Sadly, the Month of Chaos has come to an end but we go out with a bang! The Wheel of Pain fell on Charlie's name and we were graced with the Jackie Chan / Chris Tucker blockbuster Rush Hour. So many mixed feelings led to an amazing conversation. Pete and Charlie both got in trouble with the Give Me Back HR department while Anna was laughing and pointing knowing she was still in good graces.
As we wrap up the horror side of The Month of Chaos, the cast is treated to possibly the silliest Friday the 13th movies in the franchise. I say silliest with all the love and admiration I can muster. Jason Goes to Hell is a delightful left turn from all the typical Jason troupes while still giving us the creative kills and practical gore we all love. Friday fans are torn over this one and I'd like to encourage you to revisit Goes ...
Only one man could lead us into another year of B-ACTION badassery and only one movie studio could usher us into a new era of wall to wall B-ACTION goodness. Joe Lara takes us into the not so distant future in 1995’s Hologram Man from PM Entertainment! Not to be confused with Demolition Man! Because basically it's the same plot. But that doesn't matter though thanks to constant explosions, badass chase scenes, roid rage, and excell...
*From the Desk of Pete*
If you know anything about director Takashi Miike's filmography then you'll be well prepared for the insanity, head scratching confusion and WTFs of Yakuza Apocalypse. This is such a Pete movie that his picture should be in the IMDB entry. If you decide to watch it, free on Tubi by the way, please go into it with the understanding that the film isn't to be understood but rather experienced or maybe even endu...
Parker from Dissect That Film joins us to cover the sensation that is Terrifier. The film is shockingly polar and there are few fans that hover in the middle of this film. The perfect example of "you love it or you hate it." If you're here to listen to Charlie crap on a movie then this is your episode, however Charlie is very good at making his points clear and succinct without becoming a petulant child pouting in the corner becau...
One year ago a new podcast was forged out of the desire to seek out the lost and explore the unknown. From the waves of Devil's Island to the peak of Death Mountain and everywhere in-between, B-ACTION rides upon their steeds of steel across the desert wastelands of worlds forgotten with the whispers of only one word…BADASS. Join us as we celebrate our trip around the Sun with memorable moments, favorite episodes, and reflecting on ...
*From the Desk of Pete*
Expectations were pretty low for a sequel that is hated by the masses but after watching the movie I'd like to ask these masses, "Have you actually watched Robocop 2, or are you just repeating what others are saying?" Robocop 2 was a first time watch for Anna and Pete but was such an unexpected homerun that neither of the hosts can explain the distain for the film. Robocop is a masterpiece of action cinema ...
*From the desk of Pete*
Once thought to be "Lost Media," Spider Baby has thankfully been rediscovered and given a proper Blue Ray release by Arrow. The last film of legendary genre actor Lon Chaney Jr. puts out a powerful performance in this ominous, horrifying rendition of an "Old Dark House" film and Sid Haig flexes his acting chops without ever saying a word. Charlie blew Pete and Anna's mind when he suggested that Rob Zombie's ...
Mickey's birthday month takes a dark turn with 1989’s The Punisher starring Dolph Lundgren and Louis Gossett Jr. We needed a little help to contain this level of violence so we recruited Nate to help us wade through the bullets and blood! What happens when American gangsters go to war with the Yakuza? They get PUNISHED. We touch on the comic book inspirations, the ruthless villains, and one big glaring omission from the characters ...
*from the desk of Pete*
Pete would like to apologize for picking another long film but not too much because this movie was great. Our " Come What May," month kicked us right in the goodie bits and we lost an episode. Whatever, shit happens. So instead of a horror movie we bring you an action movie....again. When this film dropped in late April 2025, Pete was excited to see that director Shinji Higuchi (Shin Godzilla) was at the hel...
Sometimes an episode demands to be buried. You will understand why if you finish this episode. Our one and only Seagully episode. Where Steven Seagal does a live commentary track alone with the movie Exit Wounds. So fire up your copy of Exit Wounds, hit that play button once he tells you too, and just enjoy the ride.
There's so much machismo in The Rock that you can smell the musk on set. If lots of shooting and lots of dick wagging are your idea of a good time then this is your kind of movie. Low blows aside...(giggity), The Rock is quite a bit of fun thanks to an amazing cast of actors, incredible sets and real life SEALs. Even Pete liked it and he hates these kind of movies. As far as action movies go, you'll love this one.
It's Mickey's birthday month and you just know he was gonna put the spotlight on some comic book movies! First up is 1989s The Return of Swamp Thing! That's right we went straight to the sequel because it's full of huge explosions, hilarious one-liners, and kick ass practical effects! This film perfectly skirts the edges of horror, comedy, romance, and most importantly ACTION! Vegetable puns fly freely as Swamp Thing appears in tim...
Even though Pete's not a fan of the genre, he still has a fun talking about this film with Charlie and Dawn of the Dead SUPERFAN Anna. The message of the film wasn't lost on any of us and still hauntingly relevant to this day. It's always a good time when Tom Savini shows up in a gore-filled movie especially when he does the FX. The films short comings are addressed, excuses are made, successful defense is had and a rip roaring con...
I'm not sure how to show my love for this film. It did so much for my love of cinematic diversity. Watching kung-fu movies on TBS or USA or whatever was always a treat but I had not idea what was going on or if there was a plot. Kill Bill became a widely loved film of cinephiles who gushed over the camera action and the screenplay. At the time, I had no idea it borrowed so much material from Japanese cinema. Kill Bill, while clearl...
The day has come that we've all been waiting for...well, at least for Mickey! The “Queen of Martial Arts” kicks onto the B-ACTION screen in 1992’s Tiger Claws! A martial arts serial killer tears through the streets using a dark dangerous martial art known as the “Tiger Style”! A badass but underutilized Cynthia Rothrock and Don Johnson wannabe Jalal Merhi crack the case only to end up face to face with a terrifying version of Bob R...
