Give Me Back My Action&Horror Movies

Give Me Back My Action&Horror Movies

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.

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 re...

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 th...

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 ...

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 f...

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 acros...

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 a...

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 ...

God bless Tubi! Without you, The Seventh Curse would be nearly impossible to find....well...by ethical means I suppose. In the first film of this year's "Month of Pete," we are joined by Troy from Good Beer Bad Movie Night and Dustin from Flicks and Friends. Not because Pete needed the back up for The 7th Curse but because the movie is so wonderfully bonkers that he wanted to share it with all his friends. Do you like Kung fu? Do y...

The cast is humbled and grateful for such an incredible family of listeners and collaborators.  Three years doesn't sound like a long time but we've talked about so many movies and made so many friends that we don't even know where to begin.  We can't express how much it means to the team that you took the time to send us such nice anniversary wishes.  Literally we could not do this without you.  Thank you and we love you all.

Luckily, Charlie brought in some backup for his horror movie birthday pick. We were all delighted to welcome Corey from Podcasting After Dark on the show for the first time. Hardware is..well..it's a movie and the four of us were split on if it was good or not. Regardless of our opinion, we had a spirited discussion that is a must for your ears.

The 1995 Judge Dredd film has been derided by loyal Dredd fans since it's release. In 2012, a new adaptation hit the screens that is vastly more faithful and inarguably a better movie. So here's what we need you to do, go watch this film for the ridiculous 90s action movie that it is and forget the comic "Judge Dredd" part.  If you can do this, I promise a good time.

Brotherhood of the Wolf is based on a legend from the 1600s French countryside which makes it way more interesting then the film actually ended up being. This tale has been told a number of times, most famously by Sir Arthur Conon Doyle in his Sherlock Holmes novel "The Hounds of the Baskerville," or at least that's what Pete thinks, it's a dubious claim at best. The real trouble with the movie is how damn long it is and at two and...

What is there to say about T2 except "WOW!"  It's damn near a perfect movie and the guys just gush about everything.  From the film to the toys to the comics to the video games (well maybe not the video games) this movie has it all.  There's even a healthy discussion about how this could be the perfect gateway for younger folks to get into action movies.  The best part is that Charlie, Nate and Pete got to watch this masterpiece to...

Pete certainly has a type when it comes to movies. Films that are atmospheric, subtitled, beautifully shot and much of the time have something to say other than the surface plot. While Troll Hunter is a flawed movie, it's still impressive for what they pulled off on such a small budget. Caution: this is a found footage film that both suffers and succeeds within the genre but the good outweighs the bad and it's a strong recommend......

Nate and Pete totally missed the boat seeing Violent Night in the theaters. They couldn't quite put their fingers on why the marketing just didn't pull them in but thanks to Charlie's constant encouragement (beratement, nagging, call it what you like), the two bumbleducks finally did see this masterpiece and have added it to their annual holiday movie celebration. I'm sending you all the best present ever by telling you to see this...

Dead Snow 2 is a wild ride not without it's flaws.  The kills and gore rival Turbo Kid in ridiculousness and absurdity.  With it's twist on the modern day vision of zombies, this is a must see film for your next drinking night with your friends.  Don't listen to Charlie, this one is a whole lotta fun.

While "I Come in Peace" (aka Dark Angel) isn't a classic in the usual sense, it's certainly a must see for a pizza and beer night with your movie friends. Literally this is a buddy cop movie with drug dealing space aliens as the antagonist and it's as absurd as it sounds. A shirtless Dolph Lundgren doesn't hurt either. It's definitely a strong recommend for your next alcohol fueled movie night.
