Give Me Back My Action&Horror Movies

Five Deadly Venoms - Month of Pete

February has arrived and with it another MONTH OF PETE, the best month of the year since Pete gets to pick all the movies. As tradition, Pete has employed some backups to stave off the ire of Charlie and we welcome some of our bestest buddies in the whole crazy podcasting world, Steven and Leo of Spoils of Horror. Pete's action pick this year is Five Deadly Venoms (1978), the seminal pop culture phenomenon produced by the Shaw Brothers. Now, classic kung-fu isn't really Charlie's bag so it will be exciting to hear if it landed with him since most of February Pete picks tend to fall short or more accurately, plop off a rooftop in a stinky wet pile of goo. Uncultured swine. BTW, if you want to understand Pete's "bycocket" joke you'll need to listen to some of the early Spoils of Horror episodes. Which you should be doing anyways, we're just giving you extra incentive.

Red Heat - B/Action

The final movie for Charlie's "Make You See Red" birthday month is here. The guys follow Ivan (Arnold Schwarzenegger) on his mission from Mother Russia to the mean streets of Chicago to take down a drug lord. We talk about how Russians aren't all bad and that we all agree that this movie is part of the Blues Brothers multiverse!

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

Virus - Horror

The horror side of the podcast kicks off with a film that put Jamie Lee Curtis on the map. She owes her entire career to this one single epic movie that is beloved by all. Halloween? pfft boring. Trading Places? SNORE. No way. I'm talking about the Oscar winning treasure from 1999: Virus. Wait, what? You've never heard of this movie? Well, you're in for a treat especially if your favorite kind of treat is a chocolate covered banana slug. Friends, this movie is bad, but Charlie and Pete ended up enjoying the heck out of its "badness." We definitely knocked it out of the park with this first horror episode of 2026.

Red Scorpion - B/Action

We're not out of our minds, just out of bullets! Charlie's birthday month is coated in red and we're kicking it off with the most famous movie “Russian” of all time, DOLPH LUNGREN in 1988’s Red Scorpion! As Russian and Cuban forces slaughter innocent Africans, Lt. Nikolai Rachenko begins to realize he may just be one of the bad guys. After a “rocky” breakup with his countrymen, Nikolai goes on a journey to “punish” the oppressors with big guns, big explosions, and tiny shorts that fill the desert landscape with action! The comedic relief and pacing may leave us feeling indifferent, but the dangerous stunts and real African Bushmen leave us in awe of the authenticity!

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

Sudden Death - Action

Happy 2026 and welcome to a new look for the Give Me Back Podcast. Mickey from the B-Action podcast joins us for Charlie's first action pick of his birthday month and arguably the best Die Hard rip-off of all time, Sudden Death. If you think physics is stupid and logic is overrated, then this is your kind of film. While the film is insulting to anyone who's graduated from middle school, it is unquestionably entertaining and worth a spin. Give Me Back is thrilled to be back and looking to make 2026 the best year yet.

Deathstalker - B/Action

New year…same badass B-ACTION! We kick off 2026 with Cpt. Steve from Bucket of Chum as we cover a quintessential (big word, we know) B-ACTION movie…1983’s Deathstalker! This Sword and Sorcery classic hits all the high notes that make us happy: No holds barred violence, badass babes, a little touch of humor, and enough testosterone to grow your very own Charlie beard! Seriously, He-Man WISHES he was this manly. So join us to watch the giant battle hammer drop and ring in a BADASS New Year!

Give Me Back My Christmas Special 2025

Tis the season to get in to the holiday spirit or, if you're like Pete, just getting in to any spirit is good enough. Charlie, Anna and Pete welcome in B-Action's very own Silver Fox Micky for a unique Give Me Back my Holidays sort of show. Instead of covering yet another Christmas movie, the gang thought it would be fun to take a trip down memory lane and share with you what this time of year was like and what it meant to us. We share stories of family, toys and of course the shows we looked forward to that only came out this time of year. Anna kinda creeped us all our with her story about Drunk Uncle Steve trying to come down the chimney and....ah I'm just kidding. Thankfully that never happened. It was Uncle Chad. Uncle Steve is still in good health. Anyways, we know this is unorthodox for the show but we certainly had a great time and we hope you do too. Go grab a cup of spiked cider or nog or champagne or beer or damnit now I'm thirsty. Anyways, Happy Holiday to you all. We love that you've joined us for this incredible ride that was 2025.

Reindeer Games - B/Action Xmas

“What do you say to Santa’s Dwarves?...Thank you!” It's a Christmas tale as old as time. A newly released prisoner hooks up with his dead cellmate's hot stalker girlfriend only to get involved in an elaborate casino heist. Warms the heart, doesn't it?! Reindeer Games (2000) lays out a feast of familiar faces and Santa on Santa violence! Come and warm yourself by the fire as we roast this movie's pacing and wild plot. We'll carve the turkey with shotguns and uzis, drink from rum filled water pistols, and light up the sky with explosions of comfort and joy!
