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.

Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengence - Action
Tuesday Sep 12, 2023
Tuesday Sep 12, 2023
You may not know it but movies and television like Kill Bill, 13 Assassins, and The Professional, The Mandalorian and The Last of Us all owe Lone Wolf and Cub a great debt of gratitude even if Charlie and Nate wrongly dislike it. Thankfully the cultured stylings of Troy and Pete were able to team up with the Reviewing History Podcast's Brian Ruppert to set them straight. We talk about the Edo Period of Japanese history and examine the classic samurai tale and it's relationships to modern cinema. Oh and did I mention the glorious blood fountains cause we got those too. So many blood fountains.

Deathgasm - Horror
Tuesday Sep 05, 2023
Tuesday Sep 05, 2023
The time has come. It is Nate and Pete’s birthday month! After a month of Neon we now take a step into celebrating these two knuckleheads birth!
If you had the ingredients to make a Nate you would take equal parts; humor, gore, horror, and metal. Throw those in a bowl and stir. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes and you get a Nate. Which is why Deathgasm is the perfect horror movie for his first selection.
This episode turns into a love letter of being an outcast and the special bond we find in music and movies.
Brothers of Steel!!!!!

Turbo Kid - Action
Tuesday Aug 29, 2023
Tuesday Aug 29, 2023
Throughout cinema history films such as 2001, The Ten Commandments, Seven Samurai, King Kong, The Matrix and Jurassic Park are of such a quality that you can only feel lucky that you were alive to experience them. Is Turbo Kid such a movie? In our eyes it was.... We won't spend a lot of time singing it's praises here but instead encourage you to go watch this cinematic masterpiece (all Hail Tubi) and then tune in to listen the podcast to hear four lovable dummies gush about it. And remember...There's a Thunder in your Heart!!!!!

Neon Maniacs - Horror
Tuesday Aug 22, 2023
Tuesday Aug 22, 2023
So this week Charlie suggested a cold watch for the guys based solely on the title.....Neon Maniacs. Nate was reluctant, Pete had no clue but Charlie was relentless for some reason to include it in The Month of Neon...come on just look at the title.
But be warned now...we highly recommend you watch this movie first (all hail Tubi) before you listen to this weeks episode. Or you can be the rebel we know you are and just throw caution to the wind to hear our reactions of this mostly forgotten 80s horror movie. It's definitely not what any of us expected...but you'll have to listen to find out if that's a good thing or a very very bad thing. Enjoy!!!!

Con Air 2.0 - Action
Saturday Aug 19, 2023
Saturday Aug 19, 2023
What does Nate getting a haircut, the Fan Favorite from Ink Master season 12 & 14, and a movie that was already covered in the first year of the podcast all have in common?
Well that's the exact circumstances that led to the guys covering 'Con Air' as an extra special bonus episode this week! Charlie and Nate are joined by none other than artist/tattoo extraordinaire Creepy Jason himself in this non stop action thrill ride. Tune in to find out how this unholy trinity of Nic Cage fans came to be and listen along as all of them gush about this movie (good and bad) and just revel in the gloriousness of 90s action movie excessiveness. Huge shout out to our Death Metal brother Mike at VHS for being the catalyst for this Bonus Episode!!!

Mandy - Action
Tuesday Aug 15, 2023
Tuesday Aug 15, 2023
This week the guys step into a psychedelic world of a murderous cult and a man hell bent on revenge. Mandy has been an extremely polarizing film since it’s release. A film that truly falls under a love it or hate it umbrella. This time we recruited Jeff from Suns and Shadows to help cover this color soaked movie. Prepare to scream along with us in a bloody passion of love and vengeance. The only way Nic Cage can present.

Psycho Goreman - Horror
Tuesday Aug 08, 2023
Tuesday Aug 08, 2023
This week begins our month of Neon as designed by our very own Nate. Every movie will have a very distinct color palette that sets it apart from the run of the mill movie experience. Our first selection is Psycho Goreman, a movie that.....******static******
"Pathetic humans using airwaves to spread my message of death and destruction. Foolish cowards that believe they tell my tale. Their feeble brains can only hold a fraction of the doom I bring. The torment I bring will be considered a gift compared to listening to this feeble rodent podcast. I will sit upon my mighty throne and vanquish any whoever recommend this show to me again."

Death Proof Grindhouse - Action/Horror
Tuesday Aug 01, 2023
Tuesday Aug 01, 2023
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).

MegaForce - Action
Tuesday Jul 25, 2023
Tuesday Jul 25, 2023
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"!!!!!!

Lethal Weapon 2 - Action
Tuesday Jul 18, 2023
Tuesday Jul 18, 2023
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!
