B-Movie Mania

Lil' Mikey is hear to tell us about the next movie, The Defense of New Haven. You can watch The Defense of New Haven on Tubi, Freevee, or Vudu.

Fire Ice & Dynamite is not a sequel to the first season episode, Fire and Ice.  It's not animated and it's not swords and sorcery, but it is fantastical with just a little bit of magic.  It's also the tired old tale of three unlikable heirs to a multi-million dollar estate fighting for their inheritance.  Roger Moore sort of stars in this insane film showcasing the sports world's craziest stunt people as they race through the titular fire, ice, and dynamite.

You can watch Fire Ice & Dynamite here on YouTube.

Today's B Movie teaser features the Willy Bogner sports film, Fire Ice & Dynamite.  No, it's not a sequel to BMM's first season episode, Fire and Ice.  Nor is the movie as creepy as whatever the hell this teaser is.  But I am assured this teaser features a song performed by a cast member of Fire Ice and Dynamite, so let's hope it encourages you to watch the film here on YouTube and tune in next week!

Cardboard traps. Yarn blood. WWE muscle men with cardboard minotaur heads. Do you need any other reason to get into this maze with us? We watched Dave Made A Maze and you can too, on Tubi.tv!

Corn is hard to find, so you can't watch Corn unless Paul burns you a custom DVD like it's 2004. You can, however, watch an unrelated movie called C.O.R.N. here. Before we get a lot of angry emails, you should know that Paul makes an appearance in C.O.R.N. 3, which is also unrelated to Corn, Candy Corn, and Children of the Corn 666: Isaacs Return.

Special Guest Derek Haugen joins Paul and Mike to talk about a weird little movie called "Bottom of the World". Not only is it weird, it's also strange. And odd.

It’s got returning cast members, impressive kills, and a great looking Jason (just like this podcast)!

Prepare for a discussion of the ninth Friday the 13th Movie, Jason Goes to Hell, the Final Friday! Oh, hang on, it's not technically a Friday the 13th movie, but that doesn't really matter. Join the boys as they talk about the penultimate Jason movie before the crossovers and remakes started. You'll find out how much body hair is too much for Jason Voorhees, the mood of a tit, and a sneak preview of what awaits us at the 10th Annual 24 Hour B-Movie Marathon. Paul also fucks up the rating scale.

You've heard of Bouncer the Bouncer and Goon the Goon from the film, Parole Violators right? Of course you have! In this installment of the hit show Bounty Hunter the Bounty Hunter, the titular Bounty Hunter explains to a meth head why he doesn't want the hero of Parole Violators, Miles Long, to come after him.

Special guest Ashley Barlow joins B-Movie Mania to chat about Pascal Laugier's 2012 film "The Tall Man." It's a little different from what we normally do on the podcast, so hopefully you enjoy our discussion! 

Toss away your expectations! This week's B Movie Mania is filled with rice zombies, new viral charity challenges, and Big Tuna as we talk about Dead Sushi! Dead Sushi is Noboru Iguchi's ridiculous 2012 entry into Japanese cultural commentary and details the struggles of a young woman making her way in a world of creepy men and venomous morsels. Everyone's favorite B Movie Maniac, Mike, even talks about the movie MASH for some reason! And Paul hates Mike's choice of rating scale! Just like the movie, things stop making sense at some point.You can watch Dead Sushi anywhere DVDs or Blu-rays are sold. Thanks for removing the movie from streaming before we release the episode, Amazon Prime. But you CAN still rent Dead Sushi on Amazon PrimeP.S.: We also talk about a special kiss the Japanese do. To get a sense of what that is, check out this inspirational scene from 1985's Tampopo. A film that is just like Dead Sushi if you only watch the egg kissing part.

The boys are finally back from Tupelo and locked down in quarantine.  The loneliness is beginning to get to Chris, but maybe talking about Charles Band's Parasite will cheer him up.  It's not the Oscar winning Parasite, but you should still watch it here on Amazon Prime.

This October, Paul is presenting a strange little flick he found on Tubi. It's called... (deep breath) ..."William Shatner's Halloween Frightnight: Shrunken Heads".

The poor Baron would really like one of his prisoners to notice him and maybe watch a cool flick on this future VCR with him. Is that too much to ask?

After huge demand, The Maniacs have decided to pull back the curtain and show everyone just how one becomes The Favorite B-Movie Maniac. Conveniently, this also ties in with next week’s episode where they review Kraa! The Sea Monster. But no one calls him by his full name.

You can watch Kraa! on Amazon Prime or Tubi.

This podcast needs more grease! Paul takes up  hosting duties to introduce everyone to the gross-out festival of weirdness known as "The Greasy Strangler". Don't be a bullshit artist… listen to this episode and try not to dry heave like Chris did.

Dear Maniacs,

We need your help! Our normal teaser episode has been taken over by murderous tyrant and dictator, Doctor Victor von Doom. Comic book fans might know him as the main villain from Marvel’s Fantastic Four, but he’s imprisoned us in his opposite-of-fantastic Latverian dungeons. Except for Paul. He’s out on “good behavior,” which is probably a euphemism for something I don’t want to think about. Anyway, Doom won’t release the rest of us unless you listen to his teaser about next week’s episode of B-Movie Mania.

Excelsior!

Do you like explosions? What about child warriors? If so you’re going to love J’s pick, Return Fire: Jungle Wolf 2.

Get ready to howl, Maniacs! In the upcoming episode J brings you Return Fire: Jungle Wolf 2 starring martial arts guru Ron Marchini. Imagine if Neil Breen directed Taken. This film is about as close to that vision as we will ever get.

The movie is only available here on YouTube. It never got a DVD release!

From Friday 2/17 to Sunday 2/19 we (meaning J and Chris) visited Capricon 37 in Wheeling, IL. This con is one of our Chicagoland favorites. We cruised the dealer room and picked up Netherworld from Full Moon Entertainment. Then we gave it the ol’ B-Movie Mania treatment before the con parties.

Synopsis: A young man arrives at his father’s mansion in Louisiana to discover that a secretive cult is using winged creatures to raise the dead to do their bidding.

Sorry, folks. This one isn’t available for free. However, you can watch the making of Netherworld free on YouTube. Someone also uploaded the complete soundtrack. It has a lot of Edgar Winter on it. C’mon. Don’t be a Stranger to Love. Assorted musings: – Special thanks to q. phia for loaning us the swanky hats in the picture above. She makes all kinds of awesome, steampunky clothing. Seriously just look at her site. – Chris really liked our hotel bathroom. Way to go, Westin Chicago North Shore. – Once upon a time in Arkansas, Paul and J went to the Full Moon Film Festival and screened their film, Late Afternoon of the Living Dead. It was there they met the man who puts the “Full Moon” in Full Moon Entertainment, Charles Band.

If, on his deathbed, David Lynch had a fever dream about ‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit,’ this week’s movie would be the blood oozing from his nose. We watched The Amazing Bulk and boy is it a doozy. A man is transformed into a monster when a secret government experiment blows up and purples all over his chest. This film follows our hero as he is chased away from the one he loves by cops, the military, a mad scientist, and a bunch of other garbage from Windows ’98.

Is he the biggest? Not even close. Is he the baddest? If you’re talking production value, you got it. Is he the purplest? Of course. Am I sorry about this movie? Hell no!

Bulk up for free with an Amazon Prime account.

Episode 2 is on the horizon and we all need to be prepped for what is in store…a giant purple mess.

Listen in and steel yourself as Mike gives this quick update on the inevitable Amazing Bulk.

In our inaugural episode, Jason chooses the 1987 Patrick Swayze post-apocalyptic flick, Steel Dawn. It’s a little bit Mad Max, a little bit Shane and a whole lot of fighting! Seriously, the fights are great. In this episode we talk about what elements the film borrows from westerns and samurai films, Patrick Swayze in the bathtub, Dirty Dancing and much more! What’s the matter? Never seen a grown man naked?
