Give Me Back My Action&Horror Movies

Stone Cold - Action

Charlie demanded an old school movie this week. There were no negotiations....period!

So he tricked Nate into finally watching a movie he’s always ignored. Stone Cold!!!

Now why did Nate always ignore this movie? The answer may surprise you and yet make total sense. Find out what happens when The Boz faces off with an unhinged Lance Henriksen. You’ll be surprised at how this one finishes.

Children of the Corn 2 - Horror

Three-ways are a rare occurrence but when an opportunity arises you should never turn it down.  The Give Me Back My Horror Movies podcast did just that and got the pleasure of being the meat in a podcast sandwich.  Along with the "A Cut Above" and "Spoils of Horror" podcasts, we tackle the egregiously overlooked classic 'Children of the Corn' trilogy. "Hold on," you say, "Children of the Corn was a trilogy?"  Well friend, it didn't start out intending to be a trilogy but it's what we got and certainly what we needed.  Charlie, Nate and Pete dive into part two and come away in belly laughs and stitches. "Where has this movie been all my life," was a frequent question we asked ourselves.  PLEASE make sure to watch all three before listening to our nonsense and help bring this film into cult classic status.  Just to tease you a little more, this movie may have the best kill we have ever seen!  So don't forget to check out 'A Cut Above: Horror' review for part one and 'Spoils of Horror' for the third installment of this what we hope it the first of many collaborations.

The Last Stand - Action

It feels like forever ago that we covered a true dyed in the wool action movie. So this week Charlie and Nate decided what better movie to cover than 'The Last Stand' starring the one and only Arnold Schwarzenegger! Listen along as the guys dig into the awesomeness of what many consider the return of Arnold to the action genre. With plenty of bullets, blood, fast cars, and an amazing supporting cast this weeks episode is a true return to form and delivers on its promise to... Give Me Back My Action Movies!!!!!

The Dentist - Horror

A new month approaches the podcast world. Nate and Charlie survived an apocalyptic February to the likes that had never been seen before. They kicked Pete out of the studio and made an appointment with The Dentist. A movie that haunted every kid in the video store aisle in the 90s. Was this enough to remove the tarnished stains of Pete month?

 

 

 

Robo Geisha - Action

The final selection for "The Month of Pete" is completely banana pants. It's bloody. It's weird. It's nonsensical. It's outrageous. It's a little naughty.  It's ROBOGEISHA!!!  If you like Japanese splatter films like Machine Girl and Meatball Machine than you're in for a treat.  No joke. This one is really weird and the boys should be thankful I didn't make them watch Takashi Miike's Gozu instead.   Boob guns! Butt swords. Circular Saw Jaw! A geisha that turns into a tank and crawls up a building!  Temple Kaiju!  What's not to love?

One Cut of the Dead - Horror

*Spoiler Alert*!!! This description and episode will spoil the movie if you haven't seen it!....you've been warned!

One Cut of the Dead
Pete's third selection of the take-over month was a bit of a bait and switch. While not necessarily a "horror movie" it is a movie about making a horror movie. "One Cut of the Dead" is a delightful and hilarious independent film from Japan. Made for about $25,000, the film went on to make over $25 million globally.  The highlight of the film is the 37 minute one-shot to open the movie and while the second act was a slog to get through, the final payoff is magical.  The biggest surprise of this episode is Nate's M. Night Shyamalan twist at the end.  One Cut of the Dead is a HUGE recommend from Pete but what do the guys think about it?

Grotesque - Interview with Director Brandon Rhiness

Join Nate and Charlie as they try to sneak a special interview episode past Pete this month. The guys are joined by Brandon Rhiness who wrote and directed the movie 'Grotesque' now available on Tubi (man we love Tubi). Brandon talks about how this movie came to be, some behind the scenes info, as well as his career up to this point. Both Charlie and Nate really enjoyed the movie and have a blast digging into the creation of the character Mildred and all of the chaos that ensues after her "surgery".

Bonus: we find out some info on how movies get picked up for Tubi!

There are some mild spoilers in this episode but we definitely recommend you go watch 'Grotesque' 2022 so you can enjoy the glee we all had talking about the surprisingly high body count!

Cutie Honey - Pete Thinks It’s Action

From the director Neon Genesis Evangelion and Shin Godzilla, Hideaki Anno brings a classic anime to life with Cutie Honey. The argument during the show was if this is an action movie or not. Charlie makes a good argument that this is comedy adventure rather than action, but the kill count is just as high Missing in Action, if not more. With guns, sword fights and giant explosions how can this NOT be an action movie regardless of its absurdity. I had to pull in my Good Beer Bad Movie Night co-host Troy to help make my argument, but opinions couldn’t be more different and the episode benefits from the dissonance. No matter what side of the fence you’re on, this is a banger of an episode.

Raw - Horror Pete’s Pick Month

Greetings, listeners.

Our Grand Evil Overlord and Nate (I need to come up with a cooler name for Nate than “Nate.” Boooring) foolishly turn the reigns of the podcast over to me 'Pete' for the month of February. To what nonsense will I subject their unprepared brains? To start off, I felt like I needed to class this joint up and introduce an award-winning Indie film from France called Raw. Arguably (and we did) more of a coming of age than horror, Raw is powerful, beautiful and horrifying. Despite it’s slow pace, Raw is a strong recommend if you’re looking for something different from the mainstream horror.

Missing In Action - Anniversary Q&A Part 2

In a world where sequels run rampant, three knuckleheads couldn’t contain themselves to make a nice and casual anniversary episode. Why is it whenever there’s a mountain of bodies to count it’s always these three? Can they not go one anniversary episode without death and destruction in their wake? What the hell is even happening in Missing in Action?!!!

Tune in for the explosive finale to our two year anniversary Q&A episode! As always a huge thank you to everyone that’s ever gave us a chance, we are beyond humble for all the support you've given us. We hope you enjoy these two-parter episodes, and look forward to bringing you another year of carnage and laughter!

Stick around after the credits for Nick Fury recruiting us at the end of the episode. Oh wait… I mean the bloopers.
