Give Me Back My Action&Horror Movies

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

Last Action Hero - Action

While Charlie and Nate were able to rent this underappreciated gem of a movie in their formative years, Pete was late to the show having seen it for the first time just a year ago at the behest of Charlie. What a ride. Had it had more time to spit polish and not gotten buried behind the release of Jurassic Park, the gang feels this could have been one of those films in everyone's regular rotation. Which makes this movie a strong recommendation. Sadly this concludes our "Kid Friendly" month, but that has apparently sent Nate into a little melt down since he didn't get his Power Rangers and he decided to not add TMNT to the poll. His threats all month to leave the show are just him blowing off steam and is nothing to concern ourselves with....

Monster Squad - Horror

Possibly the ultimate gateway horror movie for kids is The Monster Squad.  While parts are certainly a "product of their time" as long as you have the conversation with your kiddos as to why some of the language and actions of the boys are NOT acceptable, this movie brings everything a young fan could want in a friendly digestible manner.  Or is it?  Those of us who grew up with this film will fiercely defend it as a classic but those just finding it and watching it through adult eyes may not be as keen.  Dustin and Paul from the Flicks and Friends podcast drop by to gush over the film with us.

The Three Musketeers - Action

For our second choice in our Kid's Month, Parker from Dissect That Film joined the cast for a family friendly love fest as we gush over Disney's Three Musketeers.  Yep, you heard that right, we just covered a Disney movie and oh boy is it fun. Honestly, The Three Musketeers skirts the edge of what can be considered kid-friendly with it's mostly bloodless violence and adult themes (boobs, boobs and more boobs) but so did Pirates of a Caribbean so it's not unheard of.  Apparently Pete wasn't done with driving the show and tried to take control out of Charlie's hands.  He's now on Double Triple Secret Suspension.

Gremlins 2: The New Batch - Horror

Gremlins is a bona fide classic, heck, it helped create the PG-13 rating in America but when you say Gremlins 2 you typically get eye-rolls and groans of displeasure.  How terribly wrong these nay-sayers are.  In their defense, these scrooges were probably expecting more of what the first film gave us and weren't aware that Gremlins 2 is very much a spoof.  If you haven't revisited this film in a while we urge you to go back with fresh eyes and bask in the glory of this ridiculous movie.

Infra-Man - Action

As the Month of Pete winds down we are both relieved and saddened to see it go. With movies like HK: The Forbidden Superhero, we can only pray it can't get worse but then shocks us as he introduces films that are so much fun we can't contain ourselves. Right out the gate, he hits us with 7th Curse, which is a legit classic but then ends the month with a movie that so wholly encompasses our childhood that it feels like a smack across the face with a big rubber nostalgia d!ck. Hmmm.. maybe I should rethink my metaphor. Josh from The Evil Deaths podcasts joins us this week as Pete selected Super Inframan and we are over the moon.  The Shaw Brothers movie studio out of Hong Kong is beloved by all who even passively enjoy the kung fu genre but the magic of this film is that it blends ridiculous martial arts camp seamlessly with Japanese tokusatsu. What's tokusatsu? Just think Power Rangers and you know exactly both what I mean and what you're getting into.  Don't think too hard about this film. Just enjoy.

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!!!!
