B Movie Breakdown

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 b...

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 ultimat...

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...

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 el...

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 cre...

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 bl...

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. Bu...

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...

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 th...

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.

In Death Wish 1 and 2 Paul Kersey was a broken man out to rid the world of muggers and those who destroyed his family. Now, in Death Wish 3, Paul Kersey is back in the New York groove, armed to the teeth, and completely out of control, as this film provides one of the most chaotic finales in the history of film.

He's made his list and checked it twice; he already knows who's naughty or nice. Paul Kersey is coming to town and that town happens to be Los Angeles circa 1982. If you thought things couldn't get any worse for Paul you thought wrong because this time around things are taken to the next level. This time he isn't out for random muggers, this time it's pure revenge.

It's Deathmas time here on the B Movie Breakdown and that means a visit from jolly old Paul Kersey. This week we start our deep dive on the Death Wish series with the original from 1974 starring none other than Charles Bronson. Vigilante, city style -- judge, jury, and executioner.

Barbarian month comes to an end with big hair, big guns, big personalities, and a serious lack of wardrobe in Phoenix The Warrior. This post-apocalyptic barbarian film features fierce women who leave little to the imagination as they battle each other in various junkyards and desert settings to determine the fate of the entire world.

This week in the good ol' US of A it's Thanksgiving, so we here at the B Movie Breakdown decided to provide a half episode to get you through the holidays. In this half shake, we discuss Alien 3 and catch up on some recent movies and TV shows we've seen. We will be back next week with a full episode to close out our month as Barbarian Movie Breakdown with the 1987 film Phoenix: The Warrior.

We knew when we wanted to do a month of Barbarian Movie Breakdown that we would run into at least one film that would scream #MeToo. Well, Deathstalker definitely breaks the bank with the most #MeToo moments of them all. In this 1983 barbarian classic, a warrior named Deathstalker (yes that's his name) is tasked by an old witch to obtain and unite the three powers of creation before the evil magic...

We've teased it in the past and now it's finally time to transform B Movie Breakdown into Barbarian Movie Breakdown for the entire month of November. The year is 2021 AD. Women have been enslaved by a brutal army of men who survived the nuclear holocaust. Their only hope for freedom is in the hands of a nomadic band of fierce she-warriors: The Sisterhood!

We close out our full month of all new horror films, in celebration of Halloween, with Slaughter Drive. This film was sent to us by writer/director/actor Ben Dietels, of the podcast Neon Brainiacs, and follows a failed filmmaker as he leaves his video camera in a local park overnight and accidentally records something horrific. To top it off it might have something to do with his new neighbors tha...

WARNING: This episode contains spoilers for Halloween (2018). Continuing our theme of all new horror movies for the month of October, this week we went to the cinema to see the brand new HALLOWEEN. Does this film stand tall as the best sequel to the original Halloween or does it just fall short along with the other mediocre sequels of the past? You'll just have to listen to the episode to find out...

This week on the podcast we discuss a movie that is far too good for this show. Yet another absolutely fantastic brand new horror movie that many people might not even be aware of. Summer Of 84 is a true horror gem from the masterminds behind Turbo Kid, a film that takes the serial killer film and takes it to the next level. It’s rare that two weeks in a row we give the movie we watched such prais...

This week all hell has broken loosemduring our October horror-a-thon as we witnessed a bloody killing spree motivated by an evil as old as time in Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich. This is easily one of the best horror films we have seen in a long time and hope after listening to this episode everyone experiences it for themselves.
