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.

Anna from Cinema Slab returns and we have an interesting conversation about the little known film, Neon City. It was a cold watch for all three of us and the film left us "whelmed." That said, it's still a soft recommend overall from the group. What left us wanting was made up for the "star" studded cast featuring Michael Ironsides, Lyle Alzado and Vanity along with other actors that you don't get to see very often outside TV. Is it great? Nope. Was it fun? Yes.

It's getting, it's getting, it's getting kinda hectic” as The Perfect Weapon, Jeff Speakman, punches and kicks his way onto the B-Action Podcast! This 1991 film brings Kenpo to the silver screen as Jeff finds himself in the middle of a Korean Gang War that will put his skills and morals to the test. This one put a big smile on all of our faces as Jeff Speakman delivers one liners and ass kickings to anyone in his way! Not to mention a stellar supporting cast of Mako, James Hung, Dante Basco, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa and PROFESSOR TORU TANAKA!!! This is one episode that will leave you singing “I've got the power!”

Hannah and Anna from Cinema Slab joined us as we covered Brandon Cronenberg's Possessor and lemme tell you, this young director is a chip off the old block (RIP David Cronenberg). While Pete was struggling to complete whole sentences, the Cinema Slab gals delivered a rocking discussion about this very weird, thought provoking film. Even Charlie liked this movie and he hates the weird stuff. We urge you to watch Possessor before you listen and then join the conversation.

As The Month of Action comes to a close, Micky from The B-Action Movies podcast joined us to cover a seminal film in the genre. Rambo: First Blood part 2 not only paved the way for action movies moving forward but also solidified Sylvester Stallone as an iconic superstar. He was even kind enough to stop by and say a few words about his film. No joke. Just tune in to listen.

Whenever Josh and Bart...Bobby...Bert whatever your name is from The Evil Deaths Podcast show up, we can always expect the unexpected and this evening was no different. The only thing I know for sure is that we did get around to Kickboxer while talking about a bunch of other shit ranging from mildly related to wildly off subject. Thus is the insanity of the T.E.D. boys and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Sword and Sorcery and double the muscles! That's right! The Barbarians are coming to B-Action! Logan of Video Villa Entertainment joins us to discuss the highs and lows of this 1987 adventure film starring The Barbarian Brothers, Peter and David Paul. There are some great laughs, epic feats of strength, and the weirdest phallic dragon we've ever seen…but man, it was cool! Stop by for the cheesy action and practical effects, but stay for our debate on Clowns vs Carnies! (They’re Carnies Dustin!)

With Nate out, Charlie and Pete invited our sisters from another podcast Anna and Hannah of Cinema Slab to join us this week. After the show the question of needing Nate at all if these gals are available came up several times. Just kidding, Nate. (Or am I?)
Pete was predisposed to not like this movie because he's an anti-action jerk and surprised everyone with his views on the film. The four of us gush, giggle, get off-topic and gush some more. No kidding, the conversation is all over the place and completely wonderful.

The legendary Rutger Hauer is Nick Randall, a bounty hunter with attitude and a kick ass shotgun in 1987’s action thriller Wanted: Dead or Alive! As a former CIA agent, Randall is tasked by the FBI with bringing down the baddest of baddies, a terrorist by the name of Malak Al Rahim, played by The Demon himself, Gene Simmons. Doctor Love impresses with his acting chops and Rutger Hauer is…well Rutger Hauer. But can that star power and gritty brutality save a weak script? Find out with us at B-Action!

Funny how things just work out. Pete was all butt hurt that Roger Corman's Death Race 2000 got a "serious and gritty" remake in 2008. So butt hurt that he never gave it the time of day, so when Charlie made him watch it you knew shenanigans would develop and instead of just watching Death Race (2008) we decided to do a double feature with the OG, Death Race 2000 (1975). We chat about the differences and commonalities of both films and make each other giggle over how wonderfully dumb these movies can be. Nate's already regretting taking the month off. SUCKER!
