B Movie Breakdown

Freddy is known for terrorizing your dreams, but what if Freddy was just getting the hang of this undead spirit demon thing? What if Freddy was more infatuated with horrifying the real world than giving you nightmares? What if Freddy behaved more like a demon possessing a mortal vessel than the monster he would grow to become? You would have the second Nightmare on Elm Street, that's what. Let's g...

What is a dream? A hope? A fantasy? A nightmare? All of the above? Well, when our pal Freddy is involved, only the latter applies. The B Movie Breakdown is about to be sleep paralyzed by the child of a 1000 maniacs starting this week with Mr. Kruger's inaugural outing, A Nightmare on Elm Street. Instead of watching pure trash like we have been known to do, we are reveling in cinema's finer things...

You ever want to watch a movie that would be more interesting if it was a documentary? You ever think spending half a movie on speed boat racing when the real movie takes place in the other half you've stopped caring about would be one hell of a party? Are you a fan of old men with jet black hair? No? Good. Because we watched this cluster so you didnt have to and our discussion takes a few unexpec...

At the height of the "War On Drugs" and the "Just Say No" campaign emerged Cartoon All-Stars To The Rescue, an animated made for television special that brought together all of our favorite cartoon characters to teach us the horror's of drugs. With an intro from President George H.W. Bush and first lady Barbara, it became very clear who the driving force behind this film truly was and who foot the...

250 episodes ago we had a dream. A dream that involved watching terrible, terribly awesome and/or lesser known movies of the past and present. But to what end? Why would anyone volunteer to do this to themselves? Would it be to watch movies so you wouldn't have to, or would it be to give hidden gems the attention that we thought they truly deserved? Perhaps it would be all of the above. But you kn...

Last week on the podcast we found a movie that not only tortured us, but it also broke us as human beings. Mr. Boogedy is somehow remembered so fondly and loved by many who saw it as youths, yet we here at the B Movie Breakdown wish it had never been made. So, after witnessing such an abomination we have decided that the next logical step is to truly dig our own graves for your entertainment by di...

From After School Specials to the Disney Sunday Night Movie, this week we dive into the world of TV movies; which were a huge deal in the 70's, 80's, and 90's. Disney seemed to perfect the family friendly type of tv movie, making some that people still love today. Well, Mr. Boogedy seems to be one of them and we just cannot understand why. Mr. Boogedy is only 45 minutes long and it literally broke...

Welcome to our first ever After School Special episode and boy did we pick the perfect one to start with. Originally airing on October 23, 1987 as part of the ABC Afterschool Special, The Day My Kid Went Punk tells the tale of eenage musician Terry, who hopes to distinguish himself from "the crowd", by becoming a punk rocker. Please let us know what you thought of this episode on social media or o...

About 220 episodes ago we discovered Feature Films For Families with The Buttercream Gang and now Feature Films For Families has graced this show with its presence yet again by bringing us 1988's On Our Own. Feature Films For Families does here for orphans what they did for gang problems of the 90's with The Buttercream Gang, which is to say not very much. Just like TBCG, we highly recommend check...

Ben Archer is not happy! His mother, Sandy, has taken things to the next level with her new boyfriend, Jack, by allowing him to move in! Driven by pure anger and a fear of abandonment, Ben will try anything and everything to pop the "love bubble" which surrounds his mom and Jack. However, with the help of the YMCA Indian Guides and a group of mobsters, Ben and Jack become much closer.

How many movies feature two inventor brothers who create a working sentient robot that is also inhabited by the spirit of their dead father? The answer is one, one single movie oddly titled 'And You Thought Your Parents Were Weird!' Other questions you have might include; why does a movie about a dead robodad have that title? Are their parents really THAT weird? How did the dad die? Is the robot v...

A Gnome Named Gnorm (with a hard 'G') is a film that seeped its way into the minds of many children growing up in the 90's. It's a rare film that most never saw, but those who did remember it forever and can't stop thinking about it. It's a true phenomenon that secretly created sleeper cells for the past 29 years and now thanks to us and the powers that be at Amazon, we can continue the tradition...

Almost 210 years after these United States declared its independence from the monarch of Britain, Anthony Michael Hall declared his independence from being type cast as the typical 80s comedy nerd in this weeks movie Out Of Bounds. And thanks to Ben Dietels, from the Neon Brainiacs podcast, we were able to discuss and celebrate this wonderful film on the dawn of our 243rd Independence Day! 

This week's film features the story of a vacationing family who come across a Little Bigfoot (that they name Bilbo) and its mother in the woods. The family soon realize that their new furry friends are in grave danger due to a local logging mogul who has sent out his workers out to kill them. While they try everything they can to protect them, we try everything we can to forget the scene of Bilbo...

This film contains footage obtained by top secret government agencies, yet somehow it is available on Amazon Prime for your viewing "pleasure." As aliens attempt to decimate Earth using brainwashed humans to attack those still unaffected, three college students are out testing an advanced mech-bot. Surrounded by these alien proxies, they only have their robot for defense. But will it be enough? Li...

It's not so rare to find a movie that is a complete rip off of another movie, but it is rare to find a movie that is not only a complete rip off but also 2 totally separate movies smashed together to create that rip off. And that brings us to this week's movie, Robo Vampire. In a futuristic experiment, agent Tom Wilde is returned to life as an Android Robot after being shot and killed. Once reboot...

One year ago on this very podcast, we were introduced to 90's female action star Cynthia Rothrock and now we make return to her extensive filmography with the 1993 film Honor And Glory . Rothrock plays FBI agent Tracy Pride, who is on a mission to capture evil businessman Jason Slade. With the help of her sister Joyce, a news reporter; Dragon, her partner in Hong Kong, and Jake, a bodyguard who wo...

We round out our month long Sequel-A-Thon with one of the most notoriously bad sequels of all time: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III. Coming off the heels of two solid hits and riding the mega wave that was TMNT, you would think the Turtles franchise could do no wrong. Well, someone felt the need to introduce time travel, do away with any familiar bad guys, and truly send the Turtles down the toil...

The Sequel-A-Thon keeps chugging a long through the month of May and this week it makes a stop in the "wonderful" land of Oz. In her Return To Oz , Dorothy discovers that the Emerald City is in ruins and we discover that the first 22 minutes of this movie is more messed up than we remember. This trip to Oz is much darker and bizarre than the last go around, featuring various frightening enemies, c...

*WARNING SPOILERS* Since we are in the midst of a month long Sequel-A-Thon, we absolutely could not ignore the biggest sequel of all time: Avengers: Endgame. We know it's not a "B-Movie" by any standards, but since we spent the past 10 years of our lives inside the Marvel Cinematic Universe there was no way we could ignore it. Not only do we dive deep into the entire MCU, but we also get into the...

We continue our Sequel-A-Thon with a special guest, Sir Dan, joining us this week to discuss Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II. It may have an absurd title and be an absurd movie, but it's absurd in all of the best ways possible. We kid you not, this movie is actually worth watching and we strongly recommend you do so on Amazon Prime Video. We are also well aware that HDTGM just did this on their podc...

This month on the podcast it's our very own sequel-a-thon, as we are watching nothing but, well, sequels. We kick off our sequel-a-thon with the pure ripe perfection that is Return Of The Killer Tomatoes! Set ten years after the events of Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (referred to as the "Great Tomato War"), the United States is once again safe, and tomatoes have been outlawed. However, trouble re...

We here at B Movie Breakdown don't always get to discuss movies as well made and serious as Nona. Don't get us wrong, we love all of the bad and awesomely bad movies we watch on here, but it's a breath of fresh air to watch something so moving. This week we had the pleasure of watching Michael Polish’s multi-winning drama, ‘Nona’, starring Kate Bosworth and Sulem Calderon. Touching on illegal immi...

This week we are discussing not one, but two movies! That's right folks, it's an April You Call It Double Feature! We continue down our path of movies created by those who have contact the show with two short films. In our first film, Nicholas Michael Jacobs gives us a glimpse into the darker side of web camming in Night ; which is available on Amazon Prime Video. And in our second film, Al Loughe...

All across the country, a new drug is taking over the streets, coating them in blood, vomit, and other less savory fluids. Spunk’s Not Dead , and it never will be unless we spread the word. From an innocent babysitter who takes her first hit of spunk to longtime spunk junkies, this drug is turning the world upside down. Only you can stop the White Menace! The best defense is education, and the six...
