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.

This week we wanted to do something a little different, we wanted to do a true double feature. But not the kind we've done before when we cover two movies on one show...no, we wanted to cover two movies on two separate shows.
We joined forces with A Cut Above: Horror Review show to cover the best possible double feature that fit both shows.... Grindhouse- featuring Planet Terror on their show and Death Proof right here. Both episodes are being released the same day so you the listener can experience a true Double Feature Podcast!!!
On our show we dig into the Carpocalypse stylized side with Death Proof starring Kurt Russell in a super high octane, non stop ride of carnage directed by the man himself Quentin Tarantino. After that head over to A Cut Above to hear the rest of the story with Planet Terror directed by Robert Rodriguez.
So join us and A Cut Above as we cover two fantastic grindhouse style movies (it doesn't matter which you listen to first either).

Well we've finally come to our final Month of Action movie selection. This weeks pick was purely for the love and nostalgia of 80s action movies and with that in mind I could only pick one movie.... "MegaForce"!!!!
Join the guys as they relive their childhoods and watch a movie every 12 year old boy wished that he had wrote but reenacted it scene for scene in the backyard. We show our love for practical effects, miniatures, and some of the corniest dialogue captured on celluloid. We also receive a special message from our bothers over at $2 Late Fee because when it comes to MegaForce there's no else who loves this movie more than we do....
And remember, "The Good Guys Always Win.....even in the 80s"!!!!!!

There always seems to be an argument in the world that sequels are lesser parts than their original. We here at Give Me Back My Action Movies disagree with this ideology!
This week we recruited some help with @phatsamurai and his action knowledge to breakdown "What happens when the buddy cops return?" So strap yourself to your toilet (check for bombs first) and be prepared for a non stop thrill ride.
Huge thank you to The Phat Samurai for coming onto the show! He’s a truly amazing human, and we can’t wait to have him on more. Be sure to check out his YouTube page and social media sites. The man is busy with content!

This month Charlie has taken it upon himself to declare July the "Month of Action", horror always gets its spotlight in October so he decided that action needed a spotlight as well. And what better way to kick it off than to pick a movie with as many action stars as possible... Expendables 2!!!! But Charlie wasn't done there because he also brought a special guest this week, Eoin from The Action Elite (actionelite.com) to help ring in this newly appointed month. Listen along as Charlie compares the movie to an 'R' rated GI Joe film and how Nate and Eoin team up against Charlie with their critiques about certain aspects of the movie. Its a fun time as we get to enjoy watching our hero's all together on the big screen larger than life!!!

Anytime you sit down to watch a Cronenberg film you can always count on seeing something gross, disturbing or both...Usually both. Scanners has possibly one of the most famous practical gore effects in cinematic history. Even if you haven’t seen Scanners, you probably have seen this head explosion. The film is considered a classic by many horror fans but how does Charlie, Nate and Pete feel about it? How exciting is it to watch two full grown men stare at each other for 30 minutes? I’m not telling. You’ll just need to tune in.

The Raid obviously needs no introduction, as a film that took action fans by total surprise and gave the genre a much needed shot in the arm. It's also a film that Nate got to introduce to Pete once he discovered Pete had never seen this one before. And what better time to cover a modern martial arts movie than after doing one from the 70s with Monkey Kung Fu.
So please enjoy this fast paced action packed episode!
Join the guys as they express how much pain they would be in from every punch and kick this movie throws at you.

We wish we were covering this movie under better circumstances but unfortunately we recently lost Ray Stevenson. So Charlie and Nate decided to honor him the best way they knew how and make a bonus episode covering one of the most over the top ultra violent comic book movies to date.... Punisher: War Zone.
The guys dig into what makes this version of the Punisher stand out amongst all the others and why after all these years they both still come back to this one time and time again. We are all saddened by Rays passing but take comfort in the legacy he left on film, so please enjoy our episode of Punisher: War Zone!!!

In the Summer of 2023, 3 podcasters went missing while trying to uncover the secrets of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Uh, well…The Next Generation)
A film made by one half of the original movie team. Where does this movie stand in the very confusing timeline of TCM? Has this truly been a cult classic the entire time or is it the lowest point of the franchise?
It did get a release from Shout Factory after all!

Podcasting is full of surprises, take for example the three surprising questions that popped up this week as we watched Monkey Kung Fu.
First, if you had to guess, how many Shaw Brother Kung Fu movies released in 1979 have Monkey Kung Fu in the title?
Second, "can a Kung Fu movie have too much Kung Fu?"
And third, are Charlie and Nate mad at Pete again for picking another shitty film?
Honest, these are questions the boys answered in this episode of 'Give Me Back My Action Movies'. That and a lot of silly filler since the movie was devoid of any plot whatsoever. Tune in and giggle along.
