And guess who are the only ones that can stop him are? You guessed it, a group of misfit outsiders! This movie is as predictable and boring as that synopsis reads.

This week, we discuss the 2021 Netflix original horror movie There's Someone Inside Your House.

We have watched plenty of movies that were, at some point in time, stuck in developmental hell before they finally released, but no other film we have ever watched was the first movie to attempt to be released in theaters during a pandemic. Not only was this movie released in theaters, but it was at the time when majority of movies theaters in the country were shut down. So this movie was almost exclusive to drive-in's, where they were available. Needless to say, some people still went to see it because why not it's the last FOX X-Men universe movie. Well those people probably wish they stayed home or caught a drive-in showing of Little Mermaid instead. This week we discuss The New Mutants.
No matter how you felt about the 2003 Daredevil film starring Ben Affleck, we can all agree that the last thing we wanted from it was a spinoff movie of Jennifer Garner's portrayal of Elektra. Unlike the Daredevil film, this spin off movie is full of characters made up for the movie itself and a plot that is so boring and generic that it could have just been called Assassin Girl starring Jennifer Garner as any other character and been the same exact movie. Anyways, this week we watched the director's cut, thats right director's cut, of the 2005 film Elektra. Let's get into it.
The entire journey of man has lead us here, and all we can do is ask why. Why are there food supremacists in a children's movie where tiger blood runs through a dog detective's veins? Why are beloved corporate mascots betrayed by their capitalist masters and forced to participate in this literal hell? Why is podcast "favorite" character Munchie back as a wildly inappropriate vampire alluding to his cravings for a chocolate squirrel?

Murder consumes Camp Nightwing, when a legacy of evil reminds everyone that Shadyside is a town where all must despair. The history of this town is a tragic one and after seeing the hell that crashed down in 1994, we travel further back in Fear Street Part 2: 1978 for a bloodbath you could drown in.

This week we have the most jerkin' jam sesh with the one and only Josie And The Pussycats.

Ewoks and war are made for each other like this film was made for you. If you thought the Caravan of Courage had too much caravanning and not enough courage, this movie comes at you hard and fast and gives you all the hairy Ewok action you can imagine as Wicket and company dominate the forces of evil in Ewoks: The Battle for Endor.
Sometimes you get lost. Sometimes you find friends. Sometimes these friends are Ewoks and you are on the Forest Moon of Endor. Sometimes in order to find your family you and your friends need to roam around aimlessly in the woods and fight a giant. Where does this movie take place in the Star Wars timeline? Dealers choice, but one thing is for certain, this story is not about the destination but the friends you meet getting there. This story is about the Caravan of Courage.

As we begin our deep dive into the world of schlocky monster movies, we figured who better to start with than the master of schlock, Roger Corman.

This week we discuss Cruel Jaws, a movie that tries to come at you from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
One man's past catches up with him as a local scum bag gets in way over his head and causes absolute hell to consume a small, rural town. With his daughter's life on the line, this former undercover cop pulls no punches as he defends his Homefront!

After a life of mediocrity, some people find and capture enslaved creatures from a parallel world and use these creatures to host a children's television program while other people travel from that parallel world to retrieve those monsters and return them to their enslavement. It's just one of those things! And sometimes a few curious kids save these monsters and start their own television program. It's a wild ride. It's Mystery Monsters and we break it down in these weeks ep.
Who thought watching a random movie out of a six movie direct to vhs miniseries was a good idea is anyone's guess, but we went ahead and did it. Aliens, alien dinosaurs, time travel and extraterrestrial regimes were on the menu this week but it was hard to appreciate what was going on without all that context we were lacking. If you want to listen to a bunch of guys ask questions that may have been answered by the rest of this franchise, listen to our conversation on Josh Kirby Time Warrior: Eggs from 70 Million B.C.. Maybe we should have watched Sailor Moon instead. Who knows!

And why does Roger Ebert continue enjoy these notoriously bad movies?

Episode 300. It has arrived. After months of hype, anticipation and cinematic insanity, the road to 300 has lead us to the sequel of the "underground classic" the ButterCream Gang; The ButterCream Gang in Secret of Treasure Mountain. This film captures your imagination by making you ponder such questions as "Why did this get made?" "Are there any adults in this town or is it run by children?" and "Is this movie really set after the United States has crumbled in to a collection of post apocalyptic city states under corporate rule?" Our trio becomes a quartet for this episode as we welcome back a voice from this pod's past. Thanks to everyone who has helped make this show in to what it has become over these past 300 episodes. Join us as we carry that energy in to 300 more.
This road to the 300th episode has taken us through some true genre staples when it comes to B Movie's, but this week's combines two of our favorite here on the podcast; dimensional/space travel and barbarians!

Why bother watching Jurassic Park when you can watch Raptor Ranch? The story of an indebted waitress, two 90s ski bros, a traveling musician and...his back up singers? Is that what they did? Who cares. There are dinosaurs in this and they want to eat everyone. More revelevent information; their mad scientist creator may have had a favorite and he may have made out with her. It's not clear. Just roll with it. An attitude you should carry with you throughout the entire film...if you wish to keep your sanity. So, let's roll on down to Raptor Ranch; one hell of a Dinosaur Experiment.
If we've learned anything on the road to Episode 300, it's that childhood should be pleasant and sweet, not sweet and psychedelic, but with Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure, it is.

It wouldn't be the final stretch to 300 episodes without a killer kid film and this one is a doozy. Fearful of losing her father, one girl sets out to eradicate anything that could take him away from her. This includes people. LOTS of people. Scared his attention is divided, her mission is to make her the only one that matters in his life. Watch Daddy's Girl in full on Youtube and then check out our conversation.
On the road to Episode 300 not everything is as it seems, and this movie is proof of that. What if a Yeti was actually a deranged version of Master Splinter instead of a relative of the big foot? What if a rich child's parents hired Meatloaf to catch this being? What if a movie had you questioning life as you know it? You'd have To Catch a Yeti, that's what you'd have. And your world would not be the same.
Why regulate medicine when you can sell it for a massive profit? Why care that you are using an entire cul-de-sac as an experiment when you can make a massive profit? Why care that it causes these people to explode when you can make a massive profit? Why care that the entire process caused a scientist to experiment on himself and turn his children in to deranged maniacs when you can make a massive profit? Why watch any other movie when you can watch Body Melt, a true gross out terror that you are not ready for. Listen where you get your podcasts; watch the movie beforehand on Amazon Prime Video.
If you were thinking of the show where a mysterious ghost in a neighborhood bookstore brings together four kids who must work together to free fictional characters from works of literature, you are thinking of the wrong Ghost Writer. In this Ghost Writer, from 1989, a dead 1950's era starlet is stuck in limbo and must enlist the help of a Hollywood beat writer to help her pass onto the other side with plenty of crazy antics along the way. This Ghost Writer couldn't be more opposite than that beloved 90's PBS series, unless that show also starred Joey Travolta (yes, brother of John) as a guy so obsessed with the dead starlet that he carries around her death notice in his wallet, which we're 95% certain it did not.
Prepare to escape reality, as the eccentric maniac known only as Ernest Powertools Worrell, finds himself in the middle of MI6, a rich ancient artifact collector, his thugs, the wife of his coconspirator professor and two vacuum cleaner salesmen as they all hunt down the same elusive relic...a revolutionary war canon that contains England's crown jewels! The winner of the prize gets to be king of England, but no matter who wins those gems, we all know the real winner is you, the viewer. If you want to forget about how heart wrenching and brutal the world is, if only for an hour and 90 minutes, let Ernest warm your heart with his 1990s insanity. Ernest Rides Again.
We conclude our 90s summer camp showdown with a visit to Camp Nowhere. A camp for kids, run by kids. A camp that isn't really a camp at all, but more of an escape from the misery that is computer camp, theater camp, military camp, or whatever other type of summer camp your parents sent you to. It's a place for a kid to be a kid and all they needed to make their camp happen was to blackmail a former drama teacher into tricking their parents they are going to those other boring camps. Seems like a flawless plan right? Join us as we continue our quest to end the debate and finally find out which 90s summer camp movie truly reigns supreme.
Watch pure chaos as a summer camp becomes summer hell when Ben Stiller tries to whip a bunch of kids in to shape through very, let's just say, unconventional means. Borderline abuse becomes borderline absurdity as these kids, and a group of irritated counselors, battle to take this camp back from a deranged lunatic. Join us for the start of the 90's summer camp showdown as we discuss the Disney cult classic, Heavyweights. Next week the battle continues as we finally settle the debate over which 90s summer camp movie reigns supreme, Heavyweights or Camp Nowhere?
When a war criminal decides to seak revenge on the commander who sentenced him to prison, a plane full of innocents is caught in the crossfire. Ice-T stars in this brutal battle of 20,000 feet as a fight attendant is pushed as far as she can go. Is she he a hero, or will she just be another victim? Let's talk about Air Rage, a movie that could have only happened before before that tragic September morning of 2001, because the things that happen in this plane...my goodness.
A heist gone wrong. A stranger, running from his past? His future? A rancher forced in to an impossible situation. To Hell And Gone is a wonderful film which pays tribute to the westerns and thrillers of the 1970s in a fresh, engaging and original way. By incorporating certain horror elements of the same era in to this contemporary spaghetti western, writer and director Kyle Moore brings to life his unique artistic vision that is an absolute must see. Reminiscent of a Quentin Tarantino or Robert Rodriguez film in how different yet respectful it is of the genres that inspired it and captured in glorious 4k, to Hell and Gone is a film you do not want to miss. Listen to the beginning of our episode for spoiler free thoughts and opinions, watch the movie, then keep listening as we get in to why we feel this movie is as successful as it is. To Hell And Gone is available everywhere you get your digital downloads.
Imagine a ruler who turns his nation's military forces against his own citizenry for expediant, political gain. Pretty far fetched, right? Super unbelievable, I bet you're thinking. When would this ever happen?! Well, to make matters worse, as if that's possible, what if this ruler has armed this elite fighting force with a newly invented weapon of precise destruction, a flying weapon of death, capable of decapitating his enemies in a matter of seconds. What would such a weapon even be called? This is the Flying Guillotine! Realizing that the system is corrupt, one soldier turns against his ruler in an all out war, leaving the justice of a nation hanging in the balance. Will good triumph over evil? Will one man's insane, political machinations be thwarted by the will of the people? Watch The Flying Guillotine, and then listen in to join our conversation. But above all else, and in all seriousness, be careful out there. History may not repeat itself, but it certainly rhymes, and real life doesn't always have a happy ending like the movies, unless you stand up and make it so.

Sometimes when the fate of the universe hangs in the balance, a conglomeration of reanimated corpses is the hero you need. Gargoyles. Demons. Good vs. Evil. When existence itself is on the precipice of obliteration, one man's monster is another man's miracle. Or is he? I, Frankenstein is a powerful film that will destroy all your expectations on what it means to be brought back to life by the inherent energy 1000 electric eels.
Space is wild. Robots. Hell. Norman Bates. The Black Hole is a banger. Not quite star wars, not quite star trek, not quite Alien and not quite 2001 A Space Oddysey, it still delivers a fun mind being romp from a time gone by.
You lucky dog! That's what you'll be saying to yourself when you watch this out of control mindtrip where a man who could once telepathically understand dogs relearns his ability when a dog needs him to help secure the estate of his wealthy owner. If only understanding dogs was this man's sole power. No, when excited, the dog's entire consciousness is transferred in to the man's body and he begins to become the dog, which is super fucking helpful when the dog has to testify in court. What the hell are we watching? Madness. Aren't we all glad we live in a world where this exists!? You Lucky Dog, indeed.
While the civil war may have been over, the war between the sexes was still raging in 1980 and when an all boys military academy merged with an all girls school in order to stay operational, three ghosts were awakened from their slumber. Budget cuts and lack of funding were a problem, but according to one of these ghosts, the REAL problem was the destruction of tradition and moral decay! The Ghosts of Buxley Hall is a film that sets out to prove we're all created equal, and that bureaucracy is a mess.
What if you had a second chance at high school? What if you were pursued by the mafia? What if you were hiding in high school from the mafia and fell in live with a 17 year old girl? What if you were actually 29 years old? What if? Why not! At least, that's the attitude of this movie's main character. John Cryer plays Andrew Morenski/Maxwell Hauser/Eddie Collins in Hiding Out, as a quest for survival quickly turns in to irresponsibility run amuck as a 21 year old plays a 29 year old crushing on a 17 year old. I mean, wtf.
How do you create the superest of super soldiers? Inject super soldier serum in to a scrawny, 1940s infantryman, promote him to captain and give him a fancy shield OR...hunt down a werewolf, kill it, steal its blood, inject yourself with its blood, attack your friend, get shot by said friend and then after being cryogenically frozen for 20 years, have your friend resurrect you, but only after a secret cancer curing science team has grafted metal skin all over your body, therefore turning you in to a chrome covered armored lycanthrope? Yeah, that's a Metal Beast and this movie is one hell of project. PROJECT: METEL BEAST. You aren't ready, but who is!?
For our second socially distant episode, we discuss everyone's favorite 90's quarantine comedy, House Arrest! When Ned and Janet Beindorf announce their separation, their two kids decide to lock them in the basement until they sort things out. Once other kids in the town catch wind of the situation, they decide to kidnap their troubled parents and confine them to the Beindorfs' basement along with Janet and Ned. Unable to escape their prison, will the parents of Defiance, Ohio finally make some changes in their lives or will Grover and his friends go to jail for kidnapping and false imprisonment?
When we first entered The Gate we were surrounded by more people than ever before on the show floor of C2E2, now we re-enter The Gate from self quarantine in our separate homes via Skype. What a crazy turn of events in the matter of a month or so, but we must carry on our podcasting duties through thick and thin to bring you that weekly dose of good, bad, and WTF. This week we get to catch up with our good friend Terry in Gate II, as he finds out you don't always get what you wish for.....especially when those wishes come from demons.
As fate would have it, this film defies all expectations. Easily washing the calamities of the previous two terminators from your collective consciousness, Dark Fate proves your fate IS what you make as Tim Miller makes a terminator film that lives up to the potential of the series. A combination of homages/echoes of past installments and new ideas, its satisfying to finally watch a terminator movie that takes time traveling murder robots from a dystopian future seriously. The only regrettable thing about this release is that more people did not see it in theaters.
This week we visit the small town of Tarker's Mill, where a series of unexplained murders have occured and the locals have taken it upon themselves to hunt down the killer. However, many of these "vigilantes" didn't quite make it out alive, and those who did are no closer to finding this killer. But, when a young wheelchair-wielding boy named Marty encounters a werewolf and all of the pieces begin to come together. With the reluctant help his sister and Uncle Red, Marty begins a mission to take down the werewolf once and for all. Tune in to find out, as we discuss Stephen King's Silver Bullet.
If you were a cat person, you wouldn't think your number one enemy would be a cat. Also, you probably wouldn't be having sex with one of your parental units either, but you know what, you aren't a shapeshifting magical cat person monster so maybe you shouldn't judge their life choices! Well, we go against our own advice and judge the hell out of these fearsome felines as we dive in to stephen king's Sleepwalkers, a concept only this literal king of horror could bring to life in this under appreciated classic.
Recorded live in Chicago, IL on the showroom floor of C2E2 at Podcast Central, we bring to you our latest episode where we broke down the 80's cult classic, The Gate. When a portal to the underworld surfaces in a suburban family's back yard, what will Glenn, Al and Terry do to send its escaping dark forces back to hell? Listen to a lot of 80's metal? Recite bible verses? Shoot rockets at monsters? All of the above? And so much more. Special thanks to Chuck Load of Comics and The Chumpcast for helping everything come together and making the event run as smooth as possible.
Future Kick is a movie we have all seen the poster for at least once in our lives. We've all probably seen it numerous times and thought maybe I will watch that. It looks like a Terminator rip off starring Don "The Dragon" Wilson, so why not? But the reality is that even though you've seen the poster over and over again and had those same thoughts every time, you've still never decided to actually watch Future Kick. Well, we decided to be the ones to finally watch this film.
Baseball. Beer. Bros. Babes. Bullets and blood. Bloodgames. When a thousand dollars rides on a coed baseball game, all bets are off and bad decisions are made. Many bad, intoxicated decisions and lots of people, are going to die. Will Babe and the Ball Girls persevere over an unruly mob of wasted, washed up wannabee winners? Regardless, this fucking banger is a home run.
What do you do when you wake up and discover you've become a mechanical tyrannosaurus rex? Yesterday, all Michael (played by the late Paul Walker) thought about was hooking up with Tammy (played by Denise Richards). Today, he is living in what we can only assume is hell while trying to escape a mad scientist who wants to lobotomize him. Get ready as we go on a wild adventure discussing the most unlikely couple you'll ever meet....Tammy and the T-Rex! Special shout out to Vinegar Syndrome for releasing the uncut version of this on blu-ray.
Some things are better left alone, Hellboy (2019) is the perfect example of that. If you don't want to give your best effort, do some half assed makeup mixed with poor CGI, and mash together 20 different stories that don't really make one concise plot then why even bother. The only thing this movie benefits from is the performance given by David Harbour as Hellboy, other than that.....well listen and find out.
This movie is both gruesome and unsettling. Is it entertainment? Is there a not so subtle message in here about horrible, real world shit? Does John J. 's over the top, cartoonish crusade of revenge detract from that message? This is Rambo: Last Blood.
Did you see The Predator? If not, why? Did you just not care? Do you normally listen to what critics have to say about "genre movies"? Maybe you just feel burned from the bad sequels/reboots of the past? Or maybe Predator just has a niche fanbase with standards so high they will never be pleased? Well this week on the podcast, we answer these questions and more while we share our thoughts on The Predator from 2018.
As we continue our new year, new decade, and mostly new to Nick theme for the month, we stumble upon one man's vision about the ultimate synthetic being named David. Bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, the super smart new captain of the colony ship Covenant discovers what he thinks to be an uncharted paradise. While there, his crew meet David, the synthetic savior, sorry, survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition. What has David been up to since the Prometheus expedition? Well let's just go with the old saying, "Idle hands are the devil's workshop," and those hands turn this mysterious world dark and dangerous very quick when a hostile alien life-form, created by our new synthetic savior David, forces the crew into a deadly fight for survival.
Since it is a new year and new decade, we decided to kick off 2020 with some newer not so B Movies that we (mainly Nick) have not seen yet. Which brings us to our first selection of January 2020.... Certain stories verge on being more than a story. They are an experience. Stephen King's IT is that kind of a story, and with the release of IT Chapter Two on home video, we take the opportunity to discuss all things IT. From Maturin the Turtle to the multiverse, we get into IT. (Please excuse the audio in the first 30 minutes after the intro, we had some technical difficulties)
Christmas has come and past but we wanted to give you guys some content this week even if it's a few days late. As you enjoyed your holidays this week, we wanted to join in and discuss some of our favorite gifts received when growing up. A lot of you will probably even share some of the ones we picked in our lists.
Do you feel Christmas has strayed from its source? Do you believe that capitalism has run a muck and ruined a once pure holiday? Do you blame the druids for the war against hot chocolate? Would you rather ignore historical context and string together a bunch of true things to help prove your thesis? Is your idea of a good Christmas movie one that twists true things to prove a thesis about religion? Then this movie is meant for you. If you think this sounds like a total chore, then this episode is meant for you. Enjoy some holiday cheer as we discuss a movie with an agenda truly all it's own. We should all be thankful that Kirk Cameron decided Christmas needed saving because he "saves" it the only way he knows how, by filming a sermon inside of an SUV for under 90 minutes.
Director Bob Clark is best known for creating the holiday classic A Christmas Story, but most people don't know that he was also responsible for a much darker holiday classic as well. The type of holiday classic that is less about Christmas and more about a sorority house full of innocent college girls and a very strange killer hiding in the attic. Black Christmas is not only an important film in the world of Canadian horror, but it is now regarded as a classic of both the Christmas and the horror genres, as well as a major touchstone in the slasher genre as we now know it.
If we learned anything from Richie Rich's Christmas Wish, which is available on Disney+, it's that to love is to own. Isn't that what the Christmas spirit is really all about anyways? And just like Christmas, this film has it all: a kid who wishes he was never born yet still physically exists when that wish comes true, some of the WORST CGI that has ever existed, and Marla Maples raising her soon to be ex-husband/President Of The United States Of America. What more could you really want out of a Christmas classic such as this?
Telepathic pets Shadow, Sassy and Chance are back! It's been three years since their trek through the woods where they telepathically talked to each other in order to make it out alive. Now their owners live in San Fransisco and they're taking a vacation to Canada. Only problem, the telepathic pets escape from the airport while being put in the cargo area of the plane. Along their journey home, they meet telepathic bully dogs, a gang of telepathic abandoned rebel dogs, and two bumbling dog catchers who get roughly $16 per dog. If you loved this movie as a kid, it's time to take another look at this Disney classic in which most of the movie is just shots of animals starring at each other as they telepathically talk to each other.
Over the past few episodes, Corey has been sharing his top ten scary guys, girls, animals, monsters, etc in movies. During that time we continuously teased Nick's lists for these very subjects and now he finally has them all ready for this exciting half episode of the podcast. We will be back next week with a normal, full episode of the podcast for your listening pleasure.
Brace yourselves as we discuss the ultimate showdown between two of the biggest horror icons of all time. Most recently on the show we discussed the entire Freddy franchise and in the past tackled all of Jason, so what better time than now to see how the 2003 Versus film truly holds up. So pop some Hypnocil and get ready for the ride, it's Freddy vs. Jason....PLACE YOUR BETS!!!
Last you listened, Freddy Krueger had met his match and was finally destroyed for good.....or so we thought. It took his creator, Wes Craven, to bring him back to life in the best way possible. Sadly, this true gem and solid sequel in the world of Freddy tends to get over looked due to pure Freddy fatigue. With only a few years removed from Freddy's Dead and how meta the movie was, as opposed to being an in canon sequel, tended to turn people off. If you haven't witnessed Wes Craven's New Nightmare, it's time you do.
In less than 24 hours Halloween begins, but for now our "canon" dive into the world of Freddy Krueger is coming to an end. For 7 years Freddy tortured the kids of Elm Street and terrified audiences nationwide, but after 5 movies the world was truly ready to see Freddy dead. To most the series started to become a joke and, in this last installment, the studio definitely steered into the zany more comical side in which people viewed the character in. They also decided to throw Dream Demons into the equation, but only explore them in the final 30 minutes of the film. Speaking of the end of this film, it is entirely in 3D and you bet we damaged our psyche in order to discuss that aspect just for you!
IT"S A BOY!!!!! Get ready to have your ear drums impregnated with awesomeness as we continue our deep dive into the world of Freddy Krueger with A Nightmare On Elm Street 5: The Dream Child! Last we left the teens of Elm Street, young Alice used her's and the recently deceased Kristen's powers to defeat Freddy and send him back to hell once again. Now Alice and Dan have left the past behind, got a whole new group of friends, are graduating high school, and are about to find out that Alice is pregnant. Little do they know, Freddy is alive and well using their unborn child's dream state to torcher them and their new friends. Will Alice be the first to survive two rounds with Freddy? Listen in and find out!
We interrupt your regularly scheduled program to bring you another B Movie Breakdown After School Special. This time around Corey is joined by former co-host Gina, as Nick is out of town, to discuss the made-for-television Disney adventure "classic" known as Fuzzbucket. While this magical tale might not be anything to write home about, at least they got to see the original commercials that played during its May 18, 1986 airdate, including one for Shanghai McNuggets!
The Dream Master is an interesting entry in the Elm Street saga. It's definitely not a movie most people love, but it's also not a movie most people hate, it's just kind of right there in the middle. While it does a great job at developing the newly introduced Alice and her abilities as The Dream Master, it does a bad job with making you care at all about her friends; which include Joey, Kincaid, and Kristen from Part 3! Yes, three characters from the last film are actually in this film, but are sadly killed off way too quickly. If this was the plan all along for Kristen, it's no wonder Patricia Arquette didn't reprise the role. Would have been nice to see Kristen and Alice team up in that end battle against good old Freddy.
Of all the stories and of all the characters and of all the premises that could be capitalized on, perhaps Dream Warriors is one of the best. You want a concept maximized to its fullest potential? Dream warriors gives you probably one of the best examples. We often talk about movies in relation to the alien/aliens paradigm and Dream Warriors is nightmare's aliens. More battles. A more involved villain. A bad guy truly owning himself and clear heroes. Dream warriors is incredible.
Freddy is known for terrorizing your dreams, but what if Freddy was just getting the hang of this undead spirit demon thing? What if Freddy was more infatuated with horrifying the real world than giving you nightmares? What if Freddy behaved more like a demon possessing a mortal vessel than the monster he would grow to become? You would have the second Nightmare on Elm Street, that's what. Let's get in to it.
What is a dream? A hope? A fantasy? A nightmare? All of the above? Well, when our pal Freddy is involved, only the latter applies. The B Movie Breakdown is about to be sleep paralyzed by the child of a 1000 maniacs starting this week with Mr. Kruger's inaugural outing, A Nightmare on Elm Street. Instead of watching pure trash like we have been known to do, we are reveling in cinema's finer things by revisiting one of the greatest, wildest and most widely known properties horror has to offer. So pound that fifth pot of coffee and get pumped, we've got a monster to battle.
At the height of the "War On Drugs" and the "Just Say No" campaign emerged Cartoon All-Stars To The Rescue, an animated made for television special that brought together all of our favorite cartoon characters to teach us the horror's of drugs. With an intro from President George H.W. Bush and first lady Barbara, it became very clear who the driving force behind this film truly was and who foot the bill to get all of these cartoon characters from so many different studios under one roof. Did this film succeed with its grueling tale of the young doped up Michael or did it make it seem that if you do drugs all of your favorite cartoons will come to life and hang out with you? We all know the true answer.
250 episodes ago we had a dream. A dream that involved watching terrible, terribly awesome and/or lesser known movies of the past and present. But to what end? Why would anyone volunteer to do this to themselves? Would it be to watch movies so you wouldn't have to, or would it be to give hidden gems the attention that we thought they truly deserved? Perhaps it would be all of the above. But you know what wasn't on the mind of one the cohosts? Do you know what thought was never present in this man's mind all those years ago? That not only would he watch one movie named Munchie, that he would be subjected to its sequel. Never in a million years did he expect to watch anything with Munchie in the title, yet here we are, 250 episodes later with Munchie Strikes Back. What kind of a world is this? What kind of a movie is this? Perhaps you should consult the greek titan Chronus, evidently he knows a lot. Unlike the first movie, Munchie Strikes Back expands on "Munchie lore"- something this cohost, again, could never predict happening. But as we find out in this film, Munchie is behind several horrible occurrences on this Earth, why not add another episode of this show to the list? Fucking Munchie.
Last week on the podcast we found a movie that not only tortured us, but it also broke us as human beings. Mr. Boogedy is somehow remembered so fondly and loved by many who saw it as youths, yet we here at the B Movie Breakdown wish it had never been made. So, after witnessing such an abomination we have decided that the next logical step is to truly dig our own graves for your entertainment by discussing none other than Bride Of Boogedy.
From After School Specials to the Disney Sunday Night Movie, this week we dive into the world of TV movies; which were a huge deal in the 70's, 80's, and 90's. Disney seemed to perfect the family friendly type of tv movie, making some that people still love today. Well, Mr. Boogedy seems to be one of them and we just cannot understand why. Mr. Boogedy is only 45 minutes long and it literally broke us more than any other garbage movie we have watched in the past. If you want to torture yourself, you can find Mr. Boogedy in full on YouTube. You have been warned.
Welcome to our first ever After School Special episode and boy did we pick the perfect one to start with. Originally airing on October 23, 1987 as part of the ABC Afterschool Special, The Day My Kid Went Punk tells the tale of eenage musician Terry, who hopes to distinguish himself from "the crowd", by becoming a punk rocker. Please let us know what you thought of this episode on social media or our email, as we plan to do plenty more of these in the future!
About 220 episodes ago we discovered Feature Films For Families with The Buttercream Gang and now Feature Films For Families has graced this show with its presence yet again by bringing us 1988's On Our Own. Feature Films For Families does here for orphans what they did for gang problems of the 90's with The Buttercream Gang, which is to say not very much. Just like TBCG, we highly recommend checking out On Our Own in full on YouTube; the ending is definitely one that will have you scratching your head for days.
Ben Archer is not happy! His mother, Sandy, has taken things to the next level with her new boyfriend, Jack, by allowing him to move in! Driven by pure anger and a fear of abandonment, Ben will try anything and everything to pop the "love bubble" which surrounds his mom and Jack. However, with the help of the YMCA Indian Guides and a group of mobsters, Ben and Jack become much closer.
How many movies feature two inventor brothers who create a working sentient robot that is also inhabited by the spirit of their dead father? The answer is one, one single movie oddly titled 'And You Thought Your Parents Were Weird!' Other questions you have might include; why does a movie about a dead robodad have that title? Are their parents really THAT weird? How did the dad die? Is the robot voiced by lovable tv dad Alan Thicke? And does he recite the line "Yoko loko for my cocoa"? All of these questions and more are answered throughout this episode.
A Gnome Named Gnorm (with a hard 'G') is a film that seeped its way into the minds of many children growing up in the 90's. It's a rare film that most never saw, but those who did remember it forever and can't stop thinking about it. It's a true phenomenon that secretly created sleeper cells for the past 29 years and now thanks to us and the powers that be at Amazon, we can continue the tradition of burrowing this fascinating film into the minds of millions.
Almost 210 years after these United States declared its independence from the monarch of Britain, Anthony Michael Hall declared his independence from being type cast as the typical 80s comedy nerd in this weeks movie Out Of Bounds. And thanks to Ben Dietels, from the Neon Brainiacs podcast, we were able to discuss and celebrate this wonderful film on the dawn of our 243rd Independence Day!
This week's film features the story of a vacationing family who come across a Little Bigfoot (that they name Bilbo) and its mother in the woods. The family soon realize that their new furry friends are in grave danger due to a local logging mogul who has sent out his workers out to kill them. While they try everything they can to protect them, we try everything we can to forget the scene of Bilbo being stuck in a bear trap.
This film contains footage obtained by top secret government agencies, yet somehow it is available on Amazon Prime for your viewing "pleasure." As aliens attempt to decimate Earth using brainwashed humans to attack those still unaffected, three college students are out testing an advanced mech-bot. Surrounded by these alien proxies, they only have their robot for defense. But will it be enough? Listen and find out as we discuss the Bumblebee mockbuster known as Hornet!
It's not so rare to find a movie that is a complete rip off of another movie, but it is rare to find a movie that is not only a complete rip off but also 2 totally separate movies smashed together to create that rip off. And that brings us to this week's movie, Robo Vampire. In a futuristic experiment, agent Tom Wilde is returned to life as an Android Robot after being shot and killed. Once rebooted, he is sent on a very dangerous mission into the depths of the Golder Triangle to rescue Sophie, a beautiful undercover agent who has been captured by the evil drug warlord Mr. Young and his inhuman creation the Vampire Beast.
One year ago on this very podcast, we were introduced to 90's female action star Cynthia Rothrock and now we make return to her extensive filmography with the 1993 film Honor And Glory. Rothrock plays FBI agent Tracy Pride, who is on a mission to capture evil businessman Jason Slade. With the help of her sister Joyce, a news reporter; Dragon, her partner in Hong Kong, and Jake, a bodyguard who worked for Slade, they must stop Slade before it's too late!
We round out our month long Sequel-A-Thon with one of the most notoriously bad sequels of all time: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III. Coming off the heels of two solid hits and riding the mega wave that was TMNT, you would think the Turtles franchise could do no wrong. Well, someone felt the need to introduce time travel, do away with any familiar bad guys, and truly send the Turtles down the toilet and into the sewers for years to come.
The Sequel-A-Thon keeps chugging a long through the month of May and this week it makes a stop in the "wonderful" land of Oz. In her Return To Oz, Dorothy discovers that the Emerald City is in ruins and we discover that the first 22 minutes of this movie is more messed up than we remember. This trip to Oz is much darker and bizarre than the last go around, featuring various frightening enemies, characters, and quests Dorothy must contend with if she hopes to return to Kansas. BEWARE THE WHEELERS!
*WARNING SPOILERS* Since we are in the midst of a month long Sequel-A-Thon, we absolutely could not ignore the biggest sequel of all time: Avengers: Endgame. We know it's not a "B-Movie" by any standards, but since we spent the past 10 years of our lives inside the Marvel Cinematic Universe there was no way we could ignore it. Not only do we dive deep into the entire MCU, but we also get into the Netflix side of the MCU as well. So if you haven't seen any of those shows and still want to, you have been warned of spoilers for those as well.
We continue our Sequel-A-Thon with a special guest, Sir Dan, joining us this week to discuss Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II. It may have an absurd title and be an absurd movie, but it's absurd in all of the best ways possible. We kid you not, this movie is actually worth watching and we strongly recommend you do so on Amazon Prime Video. We are also well aware that HDTGM just did this on their podcast, but we had no idea that was going to be a thing at the time we decided on doing this film and are in no way trying to ride their coattails. We can't help we have the same great taste in movies.
This month on the podcast it's our very own sequel-a-thon, as we are watching nothing but, well, sequels. We kick off our sequel-a-thon with the pure ripe perfection that is Return Of The Killer Tomatoes! Set ten years after the events of Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (referred to as the "Great Tomato War"), the United States is once again safe, and tomatoes have been outlawed. However, trouble returns as the dastardly Professor Gangreen and his assistant Igor seek to unleash yet another wave of tomato terror.
We here at B Movie Breakdown don't always get to discuss movies as well made and serious as Nona. Don't get us wrong, we love all of the bad and awesomely bad movies we watch on here, but it's a breath of fresh air to watch something so moving. This week we had the pleasure of watching Michael Polish’s multi-winning drama, ‘Nona’, starring Kate Bosworth and Sulem Calderon. Touching on illegal immigration and human trafficking, ‘Nona’ showcases the unbound limits a young girl is willing to go for freedom.
This week we are discussing not one, but two movies! That's right folks, it's an April You Call It Double Feature! We continue down our path of movies created by those who have contact the show with two short films. In our first film, Nicholas Michael Jacobs gives us a glimpse into the darker side of web camming in Night; which is available on Amazon Prime Video. And in our second film, Al Lougher shows us the lengths a family will go to in order to bring back their lost son with The Dollmaker; which is available on the Alter YouTube channel.
All across the country, a new drug is taking over the streets, coating them in blood, vomit, and other less savory fluids. Spunk’s Not Dead, and it never will be unless we spread the word. From an innocent babysitter who takes her first hit of spunk to longtime spunk junkies, this drug is turning the world upside down. Only you can stop the White Menace! The best defense is education, and the six eye-opening stories in this anthology will make sure that you stay off spunk for the rest of your life. Special thanks to friend of the show Zach Carter, the genius behind The Unquenchable Thirst for Beau Nerjoose (discussed in Episode 166) and The Devil's Spunk in this week's film, for sharing this with us.
THE PRINCIPAL, starring Jim Belushi, is an overlooked vigilante origin story. It's as simple as that. Rick Latimer is a worn down, out of luck drunk who isn't good at his job and just lost his wife. Little does Rick know, his life is about to get a swift kick in the ass when he is assigned to be THE PRINCIPAL at the worst school in the district: Brendell High. Brendell is where they send all the burnouts, criminals, and rejects from all of the other schools, needless to say Rick has his hands full. Not only does Rick have the perfect backstory, but he also has everything a start up vigilante needs: a vigilante name, a custom vehicle and helmet with that name on it, a signature weapon, and a sidekick who even has his own backstory. Now all we need is to see more adventures of The PRINCIPAL.
When inspiration struck during last weeks episode, we had no idea it would lead us to a VHS transfer of our new favorite Christmas movie courtesy of Amazon Prime Video. In Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe, Jesse "The Body" Ventura acts and narrates his journey to hunt down fellow "finder" Secundus before he can discover the solution the Anti-Life Equation! It's Abraxas Vs Secundus in the ultimate no holds barred match in the arena we know as Earth!
It's time for the B Movie Breakdown and The Reversal to finally cross streams and what better way than with an over the top short film that leads into an even more absurd and grueling wrestling match! This week on the podcast(s) not only are we discussing WCW's The White Castle Of Fear mini movie from 1993, but we are also going beyond the film and into the match that follows: Sting Vs Vader in a White Castle Of Fear Strap Match from WCW Superbrawl III. This is a perfect crossover episode for B Movie and wrestling fans alike! If you have the WWE Network, both the mini movie and match are available on there, otherwise at the very least the mini movie is available on YouTube.
When three kids, that's right kids, are murdered by a local gang, the friendly neighborhood Hatiian voodoo priest re-animates their shrunken heads to exact revenge. But when complications arise between one of the heads and his former "girlfriend" things don't go exactly as planned. Thanks to one stinky listener, we watched the 1994 Full Moon Features film Shrunken Heads and boy was it something else for sure. We have definitely never seen anything quite like this before.
From the writer of Alien and director of Poltergeist comes the sci-fi epic of a lifetime known as Lifeforce, in which the female lead is a naked space vampire. But these space vampires aren't your typical vampires and their rules continuously change as the characters keeps assuming or guessing them as the movie goes. Oh and to make things even more chaotic, there's also zombies and giant demon creatures.
Elvira, Joe Bob Briggs, Svengoolie, and so many other horror hosts shaped our childhood, but only Elvira had her very own feature length film aptly titled Elvira: Mistress Of The Dark. If you are wondering, can a horror host such as Elvira really carry an entire movie? The answer is YES! This is an excellent concoction of campy fun, sex appeal, and comedy all wrapped up into that famous low cut black gown.
After these messages, we'll be right back! Corey and Nick are taking a week off from the podcast world, but will be back next week with an all new episode in which they will be discussing Elvira Mistress Of The Dark!
It's been a while since we've discussed a solid slasher on this podcast, let alone a killer kid movie. Well, this week we travel back to 1976 to take a look at Alice Sweet Alice, an underrated slasher from the dawn of the genre. Taking place in the 1960s, an unsociable young girl is suspected of killing her younger sister during her first communion, as well as a series of stabbings that follow. But is a twelve year old girl really capable of such brutality?
It's not every day we come across a film that packs grotesque sexual horror, stimulating social commentary, and a journey through psychosis all in equal measure. Well, 1989's Society does just that. This savage horror satire culminates in one of the most insane climaxes in all of horror history. We highly recommend you watch this movie on Amazon Prime Video before listening to this episode.
When Spike, a salesmen from HVTV, comes to offer a free trial of a satellite TV package with 666 channels of pure entertainment, Roy Knable just can't resist. Little does Roy know, he just sold his soul to the devil and his family is in for one wild ride! That's right folks, this week on the podcast we go on an adventure with Knable's in the highly underrated film Stay Tuned from 1992.
In a post-apocalyptic future, the Soviets have invaded the USA with an army of super human soldiers that are half-man and half-shark. This sounds right up our alley, right? Believe it or not, it is and isn't all at the same time. Confusing? Well, you will just have to listen to find out exactly what we thought of Post Apocalyptic Commando Shark.
Some movies are so nice, that studios just can't help but make them twice; thus we have the dreaded remake. They can offer filmmakers the opportunity to carry out a unique vision to new audiences while still showing the up most respect to the original story. And then you have remakes like Death Wish. Remakes that just exist. That when it's all said and done and the credits roll you say "Welp, that was a movie." This is not the Paul Kersey and Death Wish we love, this is just Bruce Willis and Eli Roth getting a paycheck from a remake that was caught in development hell.
Not only did we make it through 2018, but we have also finally made it through the entire Death Wish series starring Charles Bronson. This week we close out our journey with Paul Kersey in Death Wish V: The Face Of Death. Paul is back to his old ways in a satisfying final installment that didn't leave a bitter taste in our mouths like Death Wish 4: The Crack down did. ***It should also be noted that during some tangents in this episode there are spoilers for The Christmas Chronicles and Jurassic World: The Fallen Kingdom.***
Well we all knew after the chaos that was Death Wish 3, that nothing could truly deliver at that level and we were right. Death Wish 4: The Crackdown not only gives us a mediocre story, but it also gives us a sloppy Paul Kersey. Once he starts being hired to kill, it was the beginning of the end. Also, this movie features two scenes with the WORST stand in dummies we have ever seen on film.
