Give Me Back My Action&Horror Movies

Dark Water - Horror

Horror, like comedy, is subjective and personal. What disturbs or horrifies one person can harmlessly bounce off another. Case in point is this weeks selection in the Month of Pete. Dark Water is hailed as one of the seminal examples of J-Horror from the early 2000s along with the likes of Ju-On and Ringu. The dread and madness of the film that delighted Troy and Pete fell completely flat for Charlie and Nate. Even though Charlie and Nate wanted desperately for this movie to speak to them, the film just didn't. It's not that they didn't "get" it, it just wasn't their cup of tea. Troy and Pete do sing the films praises and the entire gang was split down the middle. Dark Water is a slow burn that never really has a climax but rather an ending that you will need to decide for yourself if it's satisfying.

HK: Forbidden Super Hero - Pete pick

Pete. That bastard. He did it again. After picking the marvelous 7th Curse as his first "Month of Pete" movie he goes and picks a movie so utterly awful that Nate and Charlie want to replace his ass as a host as soon as possible. The application process is pending so be on the look out. Pete...ugh...damn you Pete...picked another live action anime film that puts Cutie Honey to shame. I hate you Pete. This week we were subjected to the indescribable and unforgivable dumpster fire called HK: The Forbidden Superhero. Pete is once again on probation and prohibited from selecting movies for the foreseeable future once February is over. The funniest thing is that Pete thought that by asking Troy back on the show that he would help his incorrect decision making us watch this movie. While Troy was lukewarm at best, Pete did find a ringer that legitimately helped out the cause. He had to literally go half way around the world to bring on Reuben from Good Beer Bad Movie Night: Australia. That's right, Australia. We have listeners in Australia.  Amazing.  While Reuben was a genuine delight to have on, he, like Pete, is dead wrong about this movie.  If the next two Pete Picks aren't a vast improvement from HK: The Forgotten Superhero he's gonna get replaced.  Probably by Reuben. Probably.

Shawn Roberts: Here for Blood Interview - Horror

And now its time for the grand finale of us covering the release of "Here for Blood".... Our interview with the man himself 'Tom' played by the awesome Shawn Roberts. Listen along as Charlie and Nate get down and bloody with the badass babysitting wrestler turned sex pervert/zombie basher in this Screambox original movie.

Here for Blood is available now on VOD, Screambox, and limited theaters....definitely go check this movie out!!!! 

Seventh Curse - Horror

God bless Tubi! Without you, The Seventh Curse would be nearly impossible to find....well...by ethical means I suppose. In the first film of this year's "Month of Pete," we are joined by Troy from Good Beer Bad Movie Night and Dustin from Flicks and Friends. Not because Pete needed the back up for The 7th Curse but because the movie is so wonderfully bonkers that he wanted to share it with all his friends. Do you like Kung fu? Do you like horror? Do you like boobs? If yes, then this is the movie for you. Make sure to watch it on Tubi first because we're not sure you'll be able to follow the plot as the gang belly laughs over the insanity.

3 Year Anniversary - Action

The cast is humbled and grateful for such an incredible family of listeners and collaborators.  Three years doesn't sound like a long time but we've talked about so many movies and made so many friends that we don't even know where to begin.  We can't express how much it means to the team that you took the time to send us such nice anniversary wishes.  Literally we could not do this without you.  Thank you and we love you all. Let's make this year as bad ass as we can.

Hardware - Horror

Luckily, Charlie brought in some backup for his horror movie birthday pick. We were all delighted to welcome Corey from Podcasting After Dark on the show for the first time. Hardware is..well..it's a movie and the four of us were split on if it was good or not. Regardless of our opinion, we had a spirited discussion that is a must for your ears.

Judge Dredd 1995 - Action

The 1995 Judge Dredd film has been derided by loyal Dredd fans since it's release. In 2012, a new adaptation hit the screens that is vastly more faithful and inarguably a better movie. So here's what we need you to do, go watch this film for the ridiculous 90s action movie that it is and forget the comic "Judge Dredd" part.  If you can do this, I promise a good time.

Brotherhood of the Wolf - Horror?

Brotherhood of the Wolf is based on a legend from the 1600s French countryside which makes it way more interesting then the film actually ended up being. This tale has been told a number of times, most famously by Sir Arthur Conon Doyle in his Sherlock Holmes novel "The Hounds of the Baskerville," or at least that's what Pete thinks, it's a dubious claim at best. The real trouble with the movie is how damn long it is and at two and a half hours it's a challenge to get through in one sitting. Nostalgia is a powerful mistress and it firmly has it's grips on Nate as he remembered fondly how bitchin' this film truly can be. Still, with all it's problems, the movie has it's high points, I mean, at the very least, the "werewolves" didn't have machine guns.
