GBW Podcast

Wondering what our topic name refers to? You'll have to listen to find out! We're back with another "COVID edition" of GBW where we talk all about the films we've been watching. We start off with an American shot 80's Italian slasher and don't look back from there. This time up you get a hearty helping of TV thrillers, a lesser known 80's attempt at bringing...

We make our return to topics as this episode we've both chosen our five favourite horror-themed television series. Just what will we pick? Will it all be the obvious choices or will there be surprises? Are there some debatable picks? You bet your ass there are! First up, as usual, we start by talking about what we've been watching since last episode and this time it's puppet sex, a...

"GBW: COVID Edition" continues on its crazy movie watching path with this, the 11th(!!), of our pandemic episodes. This time out Josh tackles a couple of sequels in order to finish off some blu-ray sets, we get a duo of werewolf films, NASCAR comes roaring onto the scene, Henry Silva consumes a lot of J&B, young Jodie Foster shows us how to be FOXES, Spanish mutants reign supreme, Ch...

While not quite on the voyeurism level of one of the featured movies this time out, we here at GBW continue to watch way more films than it is sane to do so meaning that you should get ready for another marathon. Apart from the aforementioned, BODY DOUBLE, we've got quite a mix for you this time with an early Joe Dante effort, a comedy that leaves us perplexed about Dudley Moore's popula...

Continuing our heavy movie watching diets during this global pandemic on this outing of GBW we're talking about sixteen different films including a pair we both watched and (surprisingly) had the same opinion on. We're also getting down with animal attacks, 80's computer romance, more of Josh's look at the 200 film Mill Creek set, a Pierce Brosnan movie you've probably nev...

Prepare yourselves for a movie review marathon as we talk about twenty-two different films spanning all sorts of genre, quality levels, decades and formats! We kick things off with the 1975 TV movie SWEET HOSTAGE and don't look back from there with multiple trips to various Warner Archive releases, a punk rock documentary, a pair of 80's comedies of varying quality, Josh taking a trip to...

It's pretty impossible to even try and figure out just what our viewing habits were this episode because they were all over the damn place! This time we're talking sixteen films that pretty much cover all the bases. There's the classic psychological horror of DON'T LOOK NOW, an early Chuck Norris film that does nothing but disappoint, John Wayne fighting fires, vampires that lo...

What happens when we both watch movies involving killer tarantulas, whales and snakes in the same episode? Awesomeness, that's what! It's sixteen movies that crossed our eyeballs since last episode as we both finish our respective treks through the BEST OF THE BEST and DEATH RACE franchises, Martin Sheen being a creep with a thing for underage girls, more classic Universal monsters, a ca...

It's a film smorgasbord as our viewing habits lately have been all over the place! From 60's art deco, to 70's thrillers and even Hilter's brain(?!?). This time out we both report on the third entries in the DEATH RACE and BEST OF THE BEST series, Josh talks about a 70's crime effort starring the great Yaphet Kotto, we get "extreme" with an early Josh Brolin flic...

We've really taken a deep dive into the annals of b-movies and obscure 70's cinema for the latest episode as we have a duo of 70's crime films, two 60's horror films that would definitely be on a cheapo double bill and a S.E. Hinton adaptation NOBODY talks about. That's not nearly all though as we hit up a bunch of sequels including part two of the DEATH RACE and BEST OF T...

What do you get when you have Dudley Moore trying to play a teenager? A disaster, that's what! However, that's just one of the many things we come up against in the latest episode of GBW as we continue our pandemic viewing ways with Josh finishing up the STREET FIGHTER series, a duo of music based films with entirely different game plans, Mike Flanagan's latest DOCTOR SLEEP, a nosta...

We continue on our merry Skype recorded pandemic path to bring you another episode filled with an assortment of movies we've been watching while spending most of our time indoors. This time out it's an eclectic mix of titles as Josh continues his Sonny Chiba STREET FIGHTER journey, Chris revisits a couple of movies he enjoyed during childhood with decidedly less enthusiastic results, Tom...

These are strange times, people. We've got a global situation going on. We've been forced to spend all of our time indoors with only the occasional trip to the grocery store - unless you still have to work. Things have changed in so many ways. But we still have  movies. For our first ever "recorded on Skype" episode we talk about all the films that have been keeping us occupied...

Ahh, high school. Something a lot of people look back upon fondly while some of us remember the frustration that was the opposite sex. For this episode we've decided to get "laid" as we're listing our favourite teen sex comedies that we think you should check out. It's a mixed bag as we veer from raunchy T&A, teen romance,  nerdy guys out to lose their virginity and ma...

Remember all those episodes ago when we covered our favourite 70's and 80's sitcoms? Yeah, neither do we (it was so long ago!). However, due to a listener request and the fact we did promise a follow-up, we've decided to each pick our five top choices for comedy television shows spanning from 1990 to present day. What kinds of picks will we have? Why is Chris seemingly obsessed with...

Inspired by the fact that 1982's Blade Runner was set in 2019 and it now officially the "past". We've decided to look at movies that were futuristic at the time of release and are now outdated. How accurate were they on predicting the future? How much technology is incorrect? Just why the Hell is there so much apocalyptic gangs? First up we talk about what we've been watch...

It's time for a round-up of fifteen films that, like the episode title says, focus on the act of revenge, the intensity of war and, um, summertime. Josh gives his take on Oscar shoo-in 1917, Chris weighs in on most nominated Oscar contender JOKER, Oliver Reed goes for sweet sweet busting out of jail revenge in SITTING TARGET, Chris takes trips to both camp and school, Josh somehow manages to...

This time on GBW we're talking about sixteen films of varied quality and what a batch of weirdness, mainstream and outright junk it is! Josh took multiple trips to the theater (the theater!) to give his takes on the latest STAR WARS and UNDERWATER, Kevin Bacon is a bullying jerk, a body jumping monster causes havoc on a train, there's a female version of the EXPENDABLES courtesy of The A...

It's the end of a decade and for our first episode of 2020 we're doing our annual recap of the previous year. We both pick our five favourites of 2019, list some honourable mentions and tell you all the movies we're looking forward to in the coming twelve months. Did any of your choices make our lists? Is Josh sure to choose something totally obscure? Will we have any of the same ti...

It's time for us to dive back into franchise territory and this time instead of Chuck, ninjas and robotic cops we've decided to tackle a series that was a surprise hit when it began in 1987 and only continued to be more and more popular. But does it deserve such mainstream love? This is a question that needs an answer and we sat through all four films (in a compressed space of time) to t...

After doing episodes on such favourites as John Carpenter, John Landis, Tom Savini, Tobe Hooper and others we realized that we were missing one of horror's luminaries: Wes Craven. From his early beginnings working with Sean S. Cunningham, his days in the XXX film industry, his reinvention of the horror landscape not once but twice, directing Meryl Streep to an Oscar nomination, and everything...

Because we love delivering episodes that seem super weird coming from a podcast focused mostly on cult, horror and exploitation film we've decided to revisit our youth. Specifically our under ten years. Being kids of the 70's/80's we grew up through a crazy time where a lot of the things considered children's entertainment would probably not fly these days - as witnessed by a f...

All Hallow's Eve is nearly upon us and during this time of tricks, treats and ghouls in the night we've decided to each come up with a list of five movies that would make perfect viewing for any Halloween get together you and your friends might be planning. Our only restrictions were that they had to be of the horror-comedy ilk and that they had to play well to a crowd. The results? A wh...

Formed in 1988 from the ashes of Empire Pictures, Charles Band's FULL MOON has been delivering all sorts of b-movie madness in their thirty-plus year existence. It's a ride that includes killer puppets, demonic toys, freaks, shrunken heads, miniature humans and even evil bongs(?!). We welcome back past guest, Vince D'Amato, to talk about what Full Moon means to us and have each chos...

If you're looking to fatten up your physical media collection and/or are curious about the wild, wild world of cult and exploitation films, it's easy to fall in love with Mill Creek Entertainment. When they're not releasing multi-film sets or complete TV series, they are giving us blu-rays of various cult oddities. This why we've decided to shine the light on this budget label...
