GBW Podcast

We're back from hiatus and do we have a batch of films for you! In the month we've been off we've taken a lot of trips to the theatre, watched some questionable entertainment and built up a lot of resentment towards Disney (warning: rant within). We both doubled up on two bonafide classics about hitting the open road and pagan rituals, Chris lets you know if READY OR NOT is worth yo...

In the first of what we're planning to be an annual series we've decided to look back at movies that have crossed over from the "teens" to adulthood by turning twenty years old this year. First up is the last year of the 90's. A year where Y2K freaked everyone out, Shakespeare in Love won Best Picture at the Oscars (and made us collectively groan) and many films helped kic...

There ain't no cure for the summertime blues... except movies. We've watched a whole slew of films in the last few weeks and want to tell you all about them as we tackle 18 movies as Josh checked out Alexandre Aja's CRAWL, a bear has a picnic with humans, a duo of slasher flicks of suspect quality, two vacations courtesy of National Lampoon, some Jess Franco nunspoloitation, an Albe...

For the last thirty-plus years we've been witness to many inventive, creative and groundbreaking music videos but now we here at GBW have decided that there can also be a disturbing and/or horrific side to them. Which is why we've each decided to pick our five favourite horror-related music videos. Covering various genres and with such things as murderous kids, doom-laden movie clips and...

We're addicts just looking for that next fix. We want it all the time. We'd do almost anything to have it. It's a problem. We're talking about movies. For this episode of GBW we're talking 16 films of varying quality including art deco horror revenge by way of Vincent Price, a couple of made-for-TV movies from the 70's that just don't deliver, Chris continuing to...

Because "physical media is dead" (yeah, okay) we've decided to tackle another boutique label that's been delivering the goods since 2009 in the U.K. before coming over to the North American shores in 2014. If the movie is off-beat, cult, horror or something you won't find outside of a Vinegar Syndrome release then chances are Arrow Video has put it out. From unleashing ood...

After a three week gap your co-hosts Chris and Josh have returned with a plethora of films they've watched in the in-between time. In fact, we've got 19 movies to talk about to deliver you three hours of talk about action, horror and... syphilis? In preparation for his upcoming New York trip Josh gives TAXI DRIVER a re-visit, we gave each other "homework" with two films involvi...

As two guys who have loved movies for as long as we can remember we recently decided to try and pinpoint the exact moment that films went from being just something you would watch on television or go see with friends on the weekend to an outright obsession, What year made the biggest impact on us and threw us over the edge and what movies were involved in fueling this lifelong love of all things c...

As two guys who have loved movies for as long as we can remember we recently decided to try and pinpoint the exact moment that films went from being just something you would watch on television or go see with friends on the weekend to an outright obsession, What year made the biggest impact on us and threw us over the edge and what movies were involved in fueling this lifelong love of all things c...

Why is that that even guys like us who don't follow it, watch it on TV, or participate in sports tend to love watching the endless amount of movies about them that have come out? Is it the second-hand adrenaline? The triumph of the underdog? Our attempts to seem macho by saying, "Dude, Friday Night Lights is rad!"? We'll never know. However, what we do know is, we dig sports mo...

Because we like taking chances and have a desire to be more niche than we already are it's time, just like the last episode about Las Vegas, to try something new by focusing on a specific film company. TriStar Pictures and their iconic flying pegasus logo has ushered us through many an entertaining movie and usually guaranteed fun genre-like movies with the slightest of Hollywood sheen on the...

What better way to deal with both of us feeling ill when recording by talking about a place where the party never stops: Las Vegas! That's right, Sin City itself. Where the drinks are cheap, the gambling is plentiful, the strippers are crazy and the neon is bright. To try something new we're taking on an entire city in film form by talking about what films either set in or that spends so...

At GBW we're big horror fans. In fact, it was horror that brought your hosts together in the first place all those years ago. It's only natural that when people find out you do a movie podcast, and that you've written many reviews, they want to know what the "scariest" horror films are. Looking at this from the angle of a) we've seen so many genre films it's impo...

It's Winter and that means it's colder and everyone is all bundled up. Which is why here at GBW want to bring a little Summer to you early. We love sex comedies, especially those of the 80's, so we've decided to each list our five favourites of the sub-genre that involve either the beach or a multitude of bikinis. There's your typical lingering shots of the female anatomy,...

Seeing as we have 19 movies to talk about we decided that a topic was totally unnecessary this time out and have delivered an almost three-hour roundhouse kick to your ears of what we've watched since last episode. And what a batch it is! We have two franchises both reaching their third (and final) installments, Vincent Price and Roger Corman re-teaming once more, some technology fueled vigil...

It's 2019 and we're kicking off the year as we usually do by doing our annual recap of the just finished previous year. We've both picked our five favourite films of 2018, listed the ones that didn't quite make the cut but are still worth seeking out, and tell you about what films we're looking forward to in the next twelve months - while hoping a few might actually make o...

Kurt Russell. Burt Reynolds. We here at GBW think these are the coolest actors to ever grace movie screens and have decided to dedicate an episode to them. From Kurt's beginnings in Disney films, to Snake Plissken and right to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 we talk all about one of the coolest cats around. But he has competition with the mighty Burt who is one hell of a shot with a bow and ar...

It's time to KETCHUP (or "Catch Up", if you will) on what we've been watching. Seeing as it has been a long-time since we last spoke about all the films we've been consuming in between episodes we decided this was the opportune time to discuss the 19(!!) movies that crossed our eyeballs since episode 100. And what a mix it is as we get a duo of found footage, a punk rock d...

If you were a horror geek like we were in the late 80's and early 90's chances are you discovered the glory of shot-on-video in your search for the latest, greatest scare flick. Something that your group of friends would rent on a Friday night and  marvel at the low-budget shenanigans within. Movies that even you might be able to make in your own backyard. That's why we've brou...

It's time to celebrate! Four years ago when we started this podcast we had absolutely no clue what we were doing (DON'T listen to episode one) and were doing it to get on the 'bandwagon' as it were. Now it's 100 episodes later and we're still here, still talking way too much and too long about movies, and we're still friends. We've delivered the goods with t...

With all the talk of things being "meta" and breaking the fourth wall we decided to look at movies that contain, well, movies. We've compiled a list of films that involve actual filmmaking: a film-within-a-film as it were. With so much to chose from we mention some of the titles worth seeking out and it includes some Kevin Smith, Steve Buscemi and our man Burt. We also go on A LOT o...

There's nothing we like here at GBW than a nice disaster. And because of this we've decided to list five of our favourite "disaster" movies. We're talking ensemble casts thrown into life threatening situations usually because of some form of tragedy - or, if you're Chris, you've decided to broaden the definition of just what a disaster movie is while Josh looks o...

In a physical media world where boutique labels and collectors are becoming more and more prevalent we're willing to bet there's none quite as eccentric as Vinegar Syndrome. For the past five years they've delivered cult, exploitation, blaxploitation, horror, XXX and many more obscure, and just plain bizarre, films that we never imagined would arrive on DVD and in HD on blu-ray. Fro...

Growing up through the 70's and 80's was a glorious time. We know they currently are proclaiming it "the golden age of TV" but we really beg to differ as, when we were kids, every single week on all three of the big networks we were able to tune in and see a brand new movie starring some of the most recognizable faces in current pop culture. For this episode we've both pic...

Ready for a marathon? As with our previous three "UNDERRATED" episodes we've invited back filmmaker/distributor Vince D'Amato to discuss another decade as we pick ten films each we consider to be films that just don't get the kind of love they deserve. There's certainly an eclectic mix this time out with Vince bringing the deep cuts, Chris delivering a list of more ma...
