Give Me Back My Action&Horror Movies

Terrifier - Horror

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 because he watched a movie with a clown. Anna and Parker are fans but also see the numerous flaws in the film. Pete was recovering from a long bender of a weekend and can not be bothered. Despite all the discourse, everyone agreed that the gore and David Howard Thornton's performance as Art the Clown are a chef's kiss and deserve the all the accolades. Now if we could just get a 90 minute cut of Terrifier 2 and 3 we might have a hell of a franchise on our hands.

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 our ratings! Then it's an outrageous tournament to the death with some of our favorite characters from the movies we've covered. The only rule is…there are no rules!

Don't just watch Action, B-Action!!!

RoboCop 2 - Action

*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 but 2 is a hoot. Think of it like Gremlins and Gremlins 2, very different films that are both incredibly entertaining. Robocop 2 is a strong recommend, just don't take it too seriously.

Spider Baby - Horror

*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 House of 1000 Corpses is a spiritual remake and the more they talked about it the more they agreed. This one's in the public domain so it's easy to find and the entire cast suggests you spend the 80 minutes to experience a true cult film.

The Punisher 1989 - B/Action

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 gear. Big explosions! Mountains of bullets! A ridiculous amount of knives! It gets us a little giddy just thinking about it…

Bullet Train Explosion - Action

*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 helm and he did NOT disappoint. Admittedly, the film could have shaved a solid 35 minutes off without losing any excitement or story but the gang loved it. As always, please watch the movie before you listen. It's worth your time!

The Lost Episodes: Exit Wounds aka Exit Seagullies

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. 

The Rock - Action

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.

The Return of Swamp Thing - B/Action

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 time to beat the hell out of security guards, inbred rednecks, and bullies! Even the Goddess of Babes, Heather Locklear, gets in on the action! It doesn't get much better than this! *THUMBS UP*

Dawn of the Dead - Horror

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 conversation is now published for all to hear.... Until our own zombie apocalypse begins.
