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.

Finally, after 3ish years, Pete brings a movie that is the definition of what Give Me Back stands for and yet still succeeds in going off script having never watched it. Stuart Gordon's "Dolls" is a reminder of just how much fun low budget horror films were back in the 1980s. Delicious gore, shockingly good stop-motion, a creepy house, and a kid th…

Our continued search for Charlie led the team to Mexico and we ran into a native tribe that offered us a delightful tea to quench our thirst. As we took our first big swig of tea, we hear a giggle coming from behind us. We turn to see one of our best podcasting buddies in the world Erin from Manic Movie Monday. Anna asked what the giggling was abou…

Our continued search for Charlie led to a delightful encounter: Nate intercepted our search to help lend a hand. After long days of searching, we all decided to take a break and talk about M3GAN 2.0. It's clearly been a while since we all have talked, and our conversation went all over the where. In the end we all liked the film for different reaso…

From the desk of Pete: If you tuned in last week for the conclusion of an historic Month of Action, you heard Charlie go "Missing in Action" at the end of the show.

The year is 1986 and it’s an action kids dream! Highlander, Big Trouble in Little China, Delta Force, Cobra, Iron Eagle, Aliens. The list can go on and on. All of these have been covered on the show. But alas, there’s always one to slip through the cracks, and no it’s not Howard the Duck. Month of Action has come to an end for 2025 and yet there wa…

As The Month of Action comes to a close, we gear up for the most Charlie action movie we may have ever covered. Rambo 3 is a knock-down drag-out gun-blazing BOOM-gasm. If heavily armed helicopters, evil Russians, an absurd body count and a daring rescues are your kind of action movie then you need this movie in your life. Both Anna and Pete watch i…

Double the roundhouses, double the biceps, and double the B-ACTION: It's time for Jean-Claid Van Damme‘s Double Impact! Derrick from Bad/Movies Worse People joins us to talk about this 1991 classic that puts JCVD’s acting chops to the test! It checks all of the B boxes: Awkwardly sex scenes, ridiculous plot armor, and deviously bad bad guys (with H…

Since I've been podcasting, few things have brought me more joy than one of my co-hosts watching a film for the first time that I have loved for years. It's happened a few times on this show and always brings a smile to my face. Case in point this week for not only Lethal Weapon 4 but the entirety of the Lethal Weapon franchise. Our favorite Scream…

By this axe WE RULE, and if you don't like that, you can come and take it! The Month of Action goes barbarian with 1997’s Kull the Conqueror! However you may feel about Kevin Sorbo, this movie is METAL AF, from the music to the creature effects. This is a great “Conan adjacent” story that has some awesome lore and badass fights! We couldn't go with…

Practical effects, hand made miniatures, real explosions, realistic future dystopia, iconic characters, ULTRALITES! What's not to like about Escape from New York? Well, we find a number of holes in the the plot and a few questionable film making decisions that in NO WAY diminish our enjoyment of this movie. Yes this movie has faults but it's a genu…

The Month of Action is coming in strong with another banger as we welcome in Nate to help cover Mad Max: Fury Road. Wait...who? Nate? He's still alive? Indeed he is and comes in strong with everything we've been missing since Pete broke him in February. The consensus for the film is don't think too much and watch it on the biggest screen with the b…

If not, you can stand in the corner with Dustin as we kick off “The Month of Action” with 1986’s IRON EAGLE!

Do you like to watch Yahtzees get killed in a number of creative ways? I know I like watching Yahtzees get killed in a number of creative ways. That said, we kick off the annual MONTH OF ACTION with a modern classic, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. For reasons that can't be understood, the film didn't do well in the theaters and we, as actio…

WHY ARE WE YELLING?! BECAUSE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT KILLER ROBOTS WITH SPECIAL GUEST SEAN FROM MOVIE DUMPSTER!!! 1994’s Death Machine stars Brad Dourif as a classic maniacal, immature, perverted villain trying to maintain power and cause a shit load of chaos.

Sadly, the Month of Chaos has come to an end but we go out with a bang! The Wheel of Pain fell on Charlie's name and we were graced with the Jackie Chan / Chris Tucker blockbuster Rush Hour. So many mixed feelings led to an amazing conversation. Pete and Charlie both got in trouble with the Give Me Back HR department while Anna was laughing and poi…

As we wrap up the horror side of The Month of Chaos, the cast is treated to possibly the silliest Friday the 13th movies in the franchise. I say silliest with all the love and admiration I can muster. Jason Goes to Hell is a delightful left turn from all the typical Jason troupes while still giving us the creative kills and practical gore we all lo…

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 ma…

*From the Desk of Pete* 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 underst…

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 poi…

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 …

*From the Desk of Pete* 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 ho…

*From the desk of Pete* 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 …

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 i…

*from the desk of Pete* 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…

Sometimes an episode demands to be buried. You will understand why if you finish this episode. Our one and only Seagully episode. Where Steven Seagal does a live commentary track alone with the movie Exit Wounds. So fire up your copy of Exit Wounds, hit that play button once he tells you too, and just enjoy the ride.…

There's so much machismo in The Rock that you can smell the musk on set. If lots of shooting and lots of dick wagging are your idea of a good time then this is your kind of movie. Low blows aside...(giggity), The Rock is quite a bit of fun thanks to an amazing cast of actors, incredible sets and real life SEALs. Even Pete liked it and he hates thes…

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,…

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 com…

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 h…

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 Jala…

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 …

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 …

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…
  continue reading
 
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 hilariou…

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 …

I AM THE GUYVER! AGAIN! Mikey from Monster Zone joins us to gush over 1994’s The Guyver 2: Dark Hero! Sean Baker is back, setting the tone with fighting crime and dishing out cans of whoop ass!

200th Episode!!!! I'm still toweling off after the explosive love fest the cast had while covering Big Trouble in Little China. So so sticky. Anyways, it should come to no surprise that this is a favorite. It's weird, it's got monsters, kung-fu, guns, magic, sword fighting, I mean, what's not to like. This movie is THE BEST comfort food you could c…

Once a generation a film comes around that makes such an international impact on pop culture that one can't comprehend a world without it. The Wizard of Oz, Psycho, Jaws, The Godfather and Star Wars are all examples of films that have or will influence generations of creators and fans of the movie industry. We got two of these kind of films in the …

I won't say horror was dead in 1996 but it clearly had become stale and good scares with compelling stories were hard to come by. Blame it on Tipper Gore and the Parental Advisory movement or the fact that Hollywood was more interested in making a quick buck off aging franchises, horror in the mid 90s was just...meh. Thankfully some kid at a horror…

All good things must come to an end and sadly the Month of Pete is no exception. That is unless we can get a social media campaign going to make this the Year of Pete. Hey, that's a good idea!

You never know what film will pop up during The Month of Pete and...well... Pete picked the Bollywood modern classic "RRR" and it broke Nate. Broke him pretty bad. Sadly Anna was out sick and her shoulder wasn't available for Nate to cry on. Brian from Reviewing History returned to the show to sing the praises of the fictional epic featuring two of…

Bruno Mattei is an infamous Italian director who's catalogue is full of some of the most egregious movie rip-offs of all time and this week's film, Cruel Jaws (aka Jaws 5) is no exception. Thankfully the cast was able to recruit Captain Steve from Bucket of Chum podcast to help us navigate through the confusing disjointed plot lines. Nate abandoned…

In a post apocalyptic, medieval, steampunk world, a man walking around with his own armory of weapons and a dark past arrives at a trading outpost cursed with a great evil that he's been hunting. Add in some industrial techno music, a gratuitous amount of somersaults, and a gigantic straight razor guillotine…and you've got 1999’s interpretation of …
