Grease up your pompadours and get your switchblades ready. This week we're taking a look at Walter Hill's 1984 rock and roll fable, Streets of Fire. Coming in hot off the back of the 1982 smash hit buddy cop picture, 48 Hours, Hill and co-writer Larry Gross could write their own checks and dictate their own destinies and sold Hill's dream project, a retro nostalgia vehicle about tough guys, femme...

This week we take a look at Lamberto Bava's first official director's credit with the incredibly tasteless and disgusting piece of southern-fried necrophilia, Macabre from 1980. It's one of those movies that makes you really work for the goods since the worthwhile parts of the movie lie almost entirely in the final third after a lively and berserk setup. It'll make you wonder precisely how long yo...

We're joined this week by Eli Bosnick of the God Awful Movies podcast to talk about the infamous Hong Kong Category III exploitation movie, Story of Ricky. One man enters a corrupt private prison in near-future China and faces down the evil warden, his assistant, and four villains with terrible strength and magical martial arts prowess. Along the way just about everybody gets their guts kicked out...

This week we're joined by our friends Johnny Cann and Tyler Hyde from That's Spooky as we celebrate women's history and women in horror with a look at the last movie you'd think would be appropriate for such an occasion. Slumber Party Massacre, from 1982, is a sleazy, lurid spectacle with an unexpected background. Written in 1978 as a spoof of slasher movies by radical feminist icon, Rita Mae Brow...

We're getting really bloody this week as we take a trip to feudal Japan for the 1972 samurai movie that set the pace for violent sword fighting movies to follow. This is not your father's samurai movie. This is not Akira Kurosawa. This is Kenji Misumi's epic starring Tomisaburo Wakyama and his wonderful, weapon-laden baby cart. Adapted from the extremely popular manga by Kazuo Koike, Lone Wolf and...

We celebrate two years of Bring Me The Axe! with this good long look at the movie that changed everything. Initially dismissed as drive-in schlock and the copyright was botched upon release, Night of the Living Dead would eventually find its way to spotlight as the horror movie that set the pace for horror in the 1970's and introduced the world to what is, arguably, the most popular movie monster...

This week we take a look at Bryan's favorite movie of all time, John Carpenter's tough guy action dystopia that definitely shook the Disney off of Kurt Russell and reintroduced him as a premier action movie star for the 1980's. We track the entire trajectory of this movie's production, we'll tell you why everyone thinks Snake Plissken is dead, you'll find out about all the other guys that the prod...

This week we take a look at one of the standout features of the 70's blaxploitation age, William Crain's seminal vampire movie, Blacula, starring William Marshall, Vonetta McGee, and Thalmus Rasulala. Blaxploitation is a troubling topic to take on as the bad movie outnumber the good movies three to one and definitely play up the worst black stereotypes but for a little while there blaxploitation m...

This week Bryan and Dave take a trip back to Rome to check in with Enzo G. Castellari and Mark Gregory on their sequel to the 1982 action movie that exploited the popularity of The Warriors. This time they're exploiting the popularity of John Carpenter's outstanding, Escape From New York. We get more Trash and more Bronx gangs but this time we're joined by the absolute massive screen presence of A...

This week Bryan and Dave take a look at a nasty little indie from New Jersey that can't help but get a little on ya. Alfred Sole's Alice, Sweet Alice is a vicious movie with a real bone to pick with the Catholic church. Following his actual excommunication from the church having, Alfred Sole pulled together every resource he could, with a script co-written by Rosemary Ritvo and heavily, heavily in...

Hey! Hey! Hey! BIM's on the way! This week Bryan and Dave take a good long look at the abyss and the abyss stares back when they watch the movie that launched The Cannon Group into the American imagination, a movie musical so poorly received that it nearly drove its director to leap from his hotel balcony at the premier. The Apple is what happens when a producer knows that he wants to make a big m...

This week Bryan and Dave find themselves comfortably back in the pocket with 1980's high-gothic haunted house picture where we're expected to believe that old man George C. Scott was also a father to an 8 year old girl. Based on the extremely dubious "true story" of the film's writer, The Changeling is a frustrating experience that combines compelling haunted house filmcraft with a clumsy script t...

This week Bryan and Dave celebrate one year of 99 Cent Rental with the mother of all cult movies. Get it? It's a drag queen's dream come true. In 1977, reeling from being written out of her mother's will for reasons well-known to her, Christina Crawford, daughter of Hollywood legend, Joan Crawford published a vicious hit piece of a memoir about the alleged abuse she suffered at the hands of her mo...

2024 was a banner year for horror movies and Bryan and Dave are going to run you down the list of the best, worst, and most-okayest horror movies of the year. Where do your favorite titles drop? What did we think of Maxxxine? How about Terrifier 3? Longlegs? It's all in here and then some, a giant-sized episode to address 25+ titles. Our opinions are sure to make you mad.

This week Bryan and Dave wind down the year and celebrate the holiday season with a look at a movie that can only be called horror in the most charitable of terms. Christmas Evil is the tale of two parties: Lewis Jackson, a director whose ideas were too weird for commercial Hollywood and a wall of exploitation producers who saw potential in his weird little character movie to be exploited in the w...

This week, Bryan and Dave take a trip back to 1984 for a look at one of the top box office draws of 1984 and one of the most toyetic pictures of the decade, Gremlins. It's one of Chris Columbus's first movies produced and Joe Dante's first feature with Steven Spielberg. It's got adorable little cuddly guys, nasty little monsters, Phoebe Cates, gleeful puppet carnage, and a powerhouse score from Ho...

As another Friday the 13th dawns we bring you another bonus episode looking at our personal favorite slasher franchise. This time around Jason Voorhees stalks some kids who just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time as he seeks to convalesce after getting hacked in the shoulder with Ginny's machete. We'll tell you all about why, of all the movies Paramount could have chosen to revive t...
