Give Me Back My Action&Horror Movies

Police Story - Action

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 also Charlie's first time. Easily, the best thing that came out of this episode is that Nate made it to the bathroom in time...or did he?

Fortress - B Action

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 goodness!!!

I Saw the Devil - Horror

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 most veteran of horror fans which leads to one of our best conversations.

The Rundown - Action

Much to everyone's surprise, Pete did actually watch the correct film. He owned up to his mistake last week and we had a ripper of a chat. Did Arnold "pass the torch" to The Rock in this picture? Has The Rock since taken up the mantel? Is The Rock still the action star we all want and deserve? Stay tuned, true believer, and get this show in your ears right away. We may or may not answer these questions. Maybe. I don't remember.

Leviathan - Horror

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 places. It's nothing short of a great conversation even if Nate throws shade at Sigourney Weaver for the halibut.

Highlander 2 - Action

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 several giggle fits ensued. So please enjoy this unusual Double Feature of one movie.

Dracula Dead and Loving It - Horror

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 number of time. The surprise of the show is Nate's admission that Leslie Neilson is "his Dracula" much like Connery is your favorite Bond or MosuGoji is your favorite Godzilla suit. We also, hee hee, GUSH about one of the funniest scenes in cinema history. Go listen to find out what that is but if you've seen the film you can probably guess.

Virtuosity - Action

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's a soft recommend from all of us especially if you're nostalgic for 90s dodgy CG attempts.

Carnosaur - Horror

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 directed to the Give Me Back My HR Department at Charlie@gmbmahm.com.
Thank you for your patience while we work this out.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Action

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, and look forward to hearing about your memories with these Ninjas.

And remember.... Pizza dudes got 30 seconds
