Booze and B-Movies

A Schwarzenegger-style action movie with more goofiness and fewer steroids. Fictional countries are at odds. One of them hires the Megaforce, a band of skilled, highly-armed mercenaries to handle their dirty work for them. Plans go awry. The Expendables meets Spies Like Us. Silly, unrealistic effects, like a flying motorcycle with 7" wings with no more flight controls than one man's hopes and drea...

A low-budget warm-up to Aliens. A rescue party is sent to investigate a crashed vessel. Tentacles keep popping out of places. An unseen force kills off the the landing party one-by-one, using their greatest fears against them. It's a pyramid, just like the ones in Egypt. Coincidence? If you've ever read Sphere by Michael Crichton or watched the movie adaptation, you kinda get the idea. The guy who...

Off to Scotland this week. Four secondary school students (two delinquents, one street-tough poseur rapper wanna-be, and a diligent hardworker) are set off in the wilderness on the Duke of Edinburgh Award program. One of them wants to do a good job to pad his CV, the other three want to screw around and get high. You may be familiar with the setup. The four soon find themselves in the crosshairs o...

What would you do if you had $2000 burning a hole in your pocket, access to a university office building for a few hours, and eight friends who all had nothing better to do at the same time? Probably make a movie better than this. Glenn Berggoetz is a magician who, through persuasion or spiked drinks, convinces a few other people to spend a beautiful, sunny Colorado day "filming" a travesty that h...

Close your eyes and picture the 1980s. Well, don't close them because you have to keep reading. What do you see and hear? Aquanet? Bangs? A magazine hidden under a teenage boy's bed? High-pitched male vocals? Nunchucks? Playboy Playmates...I mean Angels...I mean highly-skilled operatives of "The Agency" take down a presumably-notorious Kingpin. It's not paradise all the time. Unfortunately, invest...

Happy Easter everyone! Sometimes giant, sometimes just really big rabbit appears out of nowhere. Sometimes it hops like a rabbit. Sometimes it walks like a human. All the time, it kills people. Unfortunately, it didn't kill the producers of this movie before they had the chance to create this abomination. Beaster Day Final Grades: This movie sucks. Don't watch it. Don't let anyone else watch it. T...

We're going to recognize St. Patrick's Day with some Irish cinema, not watching some shit movie like Leprechaun 2 or something. Irish/English Dictionary Poitín - Moonshine. Stovetop distillery. Don't worry about it. It's just for the cows. Craic - Merry-making, revelry Garda(i) - Police Officer(s) Some projectile from space crashes into the ocean off the coast of Ireland. The local Gardai decide t...

We bring in a couple more special guests to provide some insight on the environment in which these sharks menace the locals. Some jackass thinks a shark goddess needs to be resurrected to cleanse humanity or something. Sharks kill people in a cornfield. Bigfoot. The mafia. The CIA Stonehenge. Everything ends up covered in light Karo syrup and red food coloring. Then you movie ends and some of the...

We introduce a new nominally-named trivia segment to see just how much Steve remembers about the movies we've watched thus far. Brandon demonstrates an inability to convert minutes to hours and minutes. ON TO THE MOVIE In a dystopian future of the future (circa Y3K) the civilization from Death Race 2000 is destroyed even more. Lord Zirpola, the guy in charge of Helix City seeks to demonstrate his...

It may be hard to believe, but Podcast Guest Host Emma is an even better hockey player than she is a podcast personality! If you'd like to support her and the Arizona State Women's hockey team, a club-level program that has to pay its own way, as they compete for the ACHA DI National Championship, click the link here #ForksUp: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-send-asu-womens-hockey-to-2024-...

An alternate (true?) historical account of FDR's rise to power and Allied victory in WWII. Franklin Delano Roosevelt is stricken with Polio as the result of a werewolf bite, but that doesn't stop him from leading his Party and the Country like a real BADASS! Bullets fly, hot dogs are appreciated and cacks still work. This one was a lot of fun. Unlimited ridiculousness, lots of laughs, America Wins...

What if the scene in Office Space where they destroyed the printer was expanded to include violent attacks against the rest of the office workers? This is apparently the premise the writers here started with. Employees at a weapons manufacturing company get dosed with an energy drink that turns them all into bloodthirsty psychopaths. A decent cast. Some good zingers. A fair amount of violence, but...

What would it look like if a high school theater group made their own space-adventure production? What if that group had the assistance of the stop-motion animation experts who produced Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer in 1946 or the California Raisins Christmas in 1986? How about if it were scientifically-necessary that space flight suits consisted of extremely low-cut bikinis and thigh-high leathe...

Is this movie a critique of corporate greed? Street gangs running amok? The evils of gladiator-style death matches for entertainment? Who friggin' knows? The people that brought us Dragonfight didn't seem to care enough to tell us. We assume this movie is about something, but you can't tell by watching it. You can tell how bad a movie is based on how many times Steve sighs while watching and discu...

Taking on a "psycho killers in the woods" movie written and produced by our friends in the UK, although it was filmed in Hungary, a country most well-known as the home of the Vizsla dog breed. We've never actually heard the full "rectum, damn near killed 'em" joke. Maybe there is no such thing. But if there is, it must have something to do with the way Steve...the ficti...

We pick up where we left off in Episode 3, with Martin trying to escape the Nazi Draug. This time, he gets a little help from a crack squad of American zombie hunters. USA! USA! This one has more blood, more intestines and more humor than the first Dead Snow. If only Tommy Wirkola had left the last five minutes out. Brandon stumbles his way through the podcast's first #German language movie re...

Staying above the Arctic Circle, but hopping to the east to visit Finland for our Christmas Spectacular. This week, we'll learn about the Joulopukki and the Nuutipukki, as well as stuff you can put in a bottle of vodka to make it taste...better? This movie earns a solid "Top Shelf" rating from the guys, despite being light on the blood and guts. It's a very well-made movie with a...

Hockey. Zombies. Grapefruit-flavored vodka. What would possibly go wrong? Turns out, quite a bit actually. These kids should have stayed home, drank some Grain Belt, and played Duck, Duck, Gray Duck. We bring a special guest on board for this week's screening of what turns out to be...just a terrible dumpster fire of a movie. Not the State of Minnesota's finest hour. At least it's film...

Grab your swords and your g-strings. Leave your sense of decorum and knowledge of normal human interaction behind. The Samurai Cop and his partner, Frank, are taking on the Katana Gang and they will not rest until that group of scum has been shut down. The only question is, can the Samurai Cop tear himself way from the women who can't help but throw themselves at him long enough to stop drugs...

Happy New Year! We hope you had a great holiday season and are ready to kick 2024's ass. We're kicking off the new year with Peter Jackson's (yes, THAT Peter Jackson) first feature-length project, a good tasting bit of "splat-stick" comedy/sci-fi about aliens who have some to Earth to find ingredients for a fast food chain...the man-meat kind thing. This one is very well-done...

This week, we're headed back to Norway to take on another Norse mythical creature, the Fjøsnissen, aka Nisse, aka Barn Elf. This one turns out to be a "scary" movie for the whole family. Steve calls it, "three deleted f*&^s away from being a Hallmark movie" special. This movie earns a solid "Middle Shelf" rating from the guys as a not too gory, but well-made C...

The guys get back in their wheelhouse with a zombie splatter-fest. This one is jam-packed with some of Brandon's favorite things: A WWII historical backdrop, Norse mythology, lots of blood, guts and outlandish moments. Steve drops some knowledge about draug/draugr, and learns what aquavit tastes like. This podcast is firmly anti-Hitler. Dead Snow final grade: Steve - Middle Shelf, Brandon - To...

Quentin Dupieux can suck it for this one. The guys' midwestern positivity is strained by this movie. Brandon and Steve give some insights on the work of a director who has made some movies that don't suck. Unfortunately, Wrong Cops isn't one of the "not sucky ones." You owe us for this one. You might have inadvertently watched it yourself, and that would have been bad. I can't say we "spoiled" thi...

Update: You'll have to forgive the audio quality and structure here. It was our first podcast episode. Things have improved since then....we hope. We take a look at some totally-real mythology local to where Steve grew up. Brandon and Steve tell you everything you didn't know you needed to know about the only Thanksgiving-themed B-movie that we are aware of, Thankskilling . If you're t...

Brandon's flying solo for the first 165 seconds of the pod's history.
