Give Me Back My Action&Horror Movies

Only one man could lead us into another year of B-ACTION badassery and only one movie studio could usher us into a new era of wall to wall B-ACTION goodness. Joe Lara takes us into the not so distant future in 1995’s Hologram Man from PM Entertainment! Not to be confused with Demolition Man! Because basically it's the same plot. But that doesn't matter though thanks to constant explosions, badass chase scenes, roid rage, and excell...

If you know anything about director Takashi Miike's filmography then you'll be well prepared for the insanity, head scratching confusion and WTFs of Yakuza Apocalypse. This is such a Pete movie that his picture should be in the IMDB entry. If you decide to watch it, free on Tubi by the way, please go into it with the understanding that the film isn't to be understood but rather experienced or maybe even endu...

Parker from Dissect That Film joins us to cover the sensation that is Terrifier. The film is shockingly polar and there are few fans that hover in the middle of this film. The perfect example of "you love it or you hate it."  If you're here to listen to Charlie crap on a movie then this is your episode, however Charlie is very good at making his points clear and succinct without becoming a petulant child pouting in the corner becau...

One year ago a new podcast was forged out of the desire to seek out the lost and explore the unknown. From the waves of Devil's Island to the peak of Death Mountain and everywhere in-between, B-ACTION rides upon their steeds of steel across the desert wastelands of worlds forgotten with the whispers of only one word…BADASS. Join us as we celebrate our trip around the Sun with memorable moments, favorite episodes, and reflecting on ...

Expectations were pretty low for a sequel that is hated by the masses but after watching the movie I'd like to ask these masses, "Have you actually watched Robocop 2, or are you just repeating what others are saying?"  Robocop 2 was a first time watch for Anna and Pete but was such an unexpected homerun that neither of the hosts can explain the distain for the film. Robocop is a masterpiece of action cinema ...

Once thought to be "Lost Media," Spider Baby has thankfully been rediscovered and given a proper Blue Ray release by Arrow. The last film of legendary genre actor Lon Chaney Jr. puts out a powerful performance in this ominous, horrifying rendition of an "Old Dark House" film and Sid Haig flexes his acting chops without ever saying a word. Charlie blew Pete and Anna's mind when he suggested that Rob Zombie's ...

Mickey's birthday month takes a dark turn with 1989’s The Punisher starring Dolph Lundgren and Louis Gossett Jr. We needed a little help to contain this level of violence so we recruited Nate to help us wade through the bullets and blood! What happens when American gangsters go to war with the Yakuza? They get PUNISHED. We touch on the comic book inspirations, the ruthless villains, and one big glaring omission from the characters ...

Pete would like to apologize for picking another long film but not too much because this movie was great. Our " Come What May," month kicked us right in the goodie bits and we lost an episode. Whatever, shit happens. So instead of a horror movie we bring you an action movie....again. When this film dropped in late April 2025, Pete was excited to see that director Shinji Higuchi (Shin Godzilla) was at the hel...

It's Mickey's birthday month and you just know he was gonna put the spotlight on some comic book movies! First up is 1989s The Return of Swamp Thing! That's right we went straight to the sequel because it's full of huge explosions, hilarious one-liners, and kick ass practical effects! This film perfectly skirts the edges of horror, comedy, romance, and most importantly ACTION! Vegetable puns fly freely as Swamp Thing appears in tim...

Even though Pete's not a fan of the genre, he still has a fun talking about this film with Charlie and Dawn of the Dead SUPERFAN Anna. The message of the film wasn't lost on any of us and still hauntingly relevant to this day. It's always a good time when Tom Savini shows up in a gore-filled movie especially when he does the FX. The films short comings are addressed, excuses are made, successful defense is had and a rip roaring con...

I'm not sure how to show my love for this film. It did so much for my love of cinematic diversity. Watching kung-fu movies on TBS or USA or whatever was always a treat but I had not idea what was going on or if there was a plot. Kill Bill became a widely loved film of cinephiles who gushed over the camera action and the screenplay. At the time, I had no idea it borrowed so much material from Japanese cinema. Kill Bill, while clearl...

The day has come that we've all been waiting for...well, at least for Mickey! The “Queen of Martial Arts” kicks onto the B-ACTION screen in 1992’s Tiger Claws! A martial arts serial killer tears through the streets using a dark dangerous martial art known as the “Tiger Style”! A badass but underutilized Cynthia Rothrock and Don Johnson wannabe Jalal Merhi crack the case only to end up face to face with a terrifying version of Bob R...

Anna's co-hosts over at The Barren's Hideout podcast, Big D and Little D, joined us tonight in an assault on Charlie's person for his contemptuous opinion on Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon. As always, even though Charlie didn't care for the film, he gave it a fair review and his points were spot on, unlike his revulsion for Cutie Honey and Thirst, of which his opinions are wrong and he should be ashamed about himself.

L...

Get you popcorn and drink of choice, turn off your brain and just have a good time with Anna's Banger Month pick of 2001s Tomb Raider. Long time friend and first time guest, Daniel from The Geeks with Beards podcast, joins us for a rip-roaring conversation. While not as good as the three Indiana Jones movies (yes, there are ONLY three) but clearly better than King Solomon's Mines, this movie is an enormously fun adventure movie wit...

The post-nuclear wasteland of Alaska is a dangerous place. You gotta walk tall and carry a big ass gun. He may be a man of few words, but Slade (Richard Norton) is the tallest SOB on the block! The Equalizer 2000 is wall to wall action with big explosions, brutal flamethrowers, and an infinite amount of bullets! Robert Patrick shines in his feature film debut. This unmistakably “B” movie is fun for sure…but is it badass?!

Don't jus...

Charlie rarely watches movies that never saw a VHS release but thankfully Anna made him sit down for the 2019 Ready or Not. Samara Weaving (woof. yes please) heads up a surprisingly gory "Cat and Mouse" affair that surprised us all how good it was on our first watch. This film is just so damn fun thanks to the original storyline, viciously hilarious kills and a cast that is having a bloody hoot make a horror movie. Anna's Banger Mo...

One look at Sisu should be enough for any reasonable to immediately deduce that in no way shape or for show you screw with this guy on any level. Phrases like "Yes, sir No, sir, May I help, sir, Thank you for not forcibly removing my spleen, sir" are all perfectly acceptable forms of communication with Sisu. Things like, "Imma shoot your dog, blow up your horse, steal your gold and burn down your country," are NOT what one would ca...
