Give Me Back My... the Podcast

Human or machine? 1992’s Nemesis dives into a secret war between man and machine that is being waged in the criminal underground around the world in the distant future of…2027?! Only Alex, a half man half machine LAPD officer, can be the one to stop a violent cyborg takeover! The action and special effects take this b movie to the next level with more bullets and violence than you could shake a co...

From the desk of Pete: Summertime tent-pole movies were a staple of the 90s and few films were more tent-poling than Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Robin Hood didn't start the trend but rather it defined what a summer blockbuster should be: hire a star-studded cast, dress them all in incredible costuming, film in stunning set locations, don't write an overcomplicated script, and pepper in enough h...

Stop me if you've heard this one before…A cowboy and a biker walk into a bar and get wrapped up in a ridiculous plot to stop the gentrification of their beloved town of Burbank and end up in the middle of drug trafficking by a bunch of dudes that look like they've been freshly uploaded into The Matrix! Whew! Well, that's Harley Davidson and The Marlboro Man starring pre plastic surgery Mickey Rour...

The action gets brutal and intense with an EXCESSIVE a...

Tonight on After Hours Cinema: Pete takes us on a trip back to the 70s, where you could still smoke wherever you wanted to and demon baby movies are rated PG. Captain Pete chose the 1974 iteration of It's Alive for this month on AHCRAP, and, surprisingly, it was a first-time watch for the both of us. (despite Pete being born in the 1800s) Regardless of its "schlock" demeanor, this film actually ha...

It's not The Avengers and it's not The Justice League…it's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen!!! 10 years before the MCU brought together a team of superheroes to save the world, Allan Quatermain led a team of literary character juggernauts into battle against an evil army intent on world domination. With special effects years ahead of its time, this movie brought a massive amount of action to...

From the desk of Pete: "Hey do you remember that cute movie Stephen Spielberg did about the little flying robots. Man I haven't seen that in decades. I'll just pop it in and take a fun little trip down memory lane. wut..I...oh no...OH GAWD! I DON'T REMEMBER THIS BEING A SAD MOVIE! MAKE IT STOP! Charlie and Pete were ill-prepared for the emotional semitruck that *batteries not included turned into....

We'll reminisce over our favorite movies of the year and badass moments as we watch the violence unfold! Joi...

Tonight, on After Hours Cinema: From the desk of Pete: "Pete has gained a reputation for enjoying films of...um..well...a certain quality. He loves to test his co-hosts with movies filled with blood, beasts and a bounty of boobs but ever since AHCRAP officially hit the airwaves, Anna has slam dunked on Pete picks. This week, Anna not only doubles down on the perverted-ness, but also has the audaci...

It's not revenge…it's justice, STEELE JUSTICE! B-ACTION favorite Martin Kove returns to the show with one hell of a kick to the balls! Big guns, one-liners, awesome 80s music, and the coolest pet snake of all time gets us absolutely hyped for one hell of a ride. Over the top cheesy action, odd casting choices, and wild dialogue just seem to fit the script with some surprising nuanced story telling...

From the desk Pete: "I know. I know. We didn't 'reformat' the show like we said we would which might be why this month's show is delightful chaos. I can't tell you for sure if this is how we're going forward with the show, but the last three episodes have been heavy on the nostalgia and light on the 'movie review'. Frankly, I kinda like it which makes it fun for us and all the more worth doing. To...

Did you ever wonder what Chuck Norris would do in a slasher film? Well wonder no more as we explore that scenario in 1982’s Silent Rage! Now, if you guessed a romantic montage of love making you'd be correct! Of course, he would also roundhouse kick his way through a bar full of bikers…honestly this one takes us in several unexpected directions, but ultimately puts us on the course of an irresisti...

From the desk of Anna: Yes, you read that right. Anna here. This is... weird? Pete is so good at his job that this task feels almost too big. (don't tell him I said that) Anyways, keeping with our theme here at AHCRAP, it's Pete's pick this week so I'm to write a synopsis for Daughter of Dracula. Not Dracula's Daughter, not Daughters of Dracula. Just Daughter of Dracula (singular) from 1972. Boy,...

In 1983 Lone Wolf McQuade was introduced to the world. The manliest man to ever walk the Earth. A certified beer drinking, truck driving, sharp shooting, martial arts master who plays by his own rules. This was the movie that catapulted Chuck Norris into the certified action superstar he would be forever known as. The jokes, the iconic look, the aura, all born of Lone Wolf McQuade’s testosterone f...

From the desk of Pete: What do you do when you rebrand a long running podcast that has a damn good following? In the case of the dummies over at Give Me Back, you do nothing until 10 minutes before the semi-official launch. Normally in the podcasting world, the hosts of the show will meet to brainstorm and spitball the new direction and hit the ground running with a polished show and new bits. Ove...

What do you do when there's 5 Tuesdays in a month on a show that's scheduled for 4?!!! You throw together a badass crew and cover movies with absolute raw horsepower and testosterone!!

Iconic Bruce Lee moments and awesome fight choreogr...

Are you ready for round 3? WHAT?! I said are you ready for round 3? If you wanna see Stone Cold whip The Condemned’s asses in an island battle royale, give me a HELL YEAH! A bunch of idiots thought it would be a million dollar idea to put The Rattlesnake on the World Wide Web and stream a death match for every sorry sumbitch in the world to see, but it doesn't matter if it's that big bastard Natha...

Tonight, on After Hours Cinema: An innocent, aspiring young starlet comes to Hollywood to make it big. Along the way, she falls in love with an amnesiac, hires a contract killer, finds her own dead body, becomes a vagrant and maybe a hooker, lands a huge part in a movie and has an emotional experience at an opera. All of this and many more confusing, yet highly entertaining, weirdness brought to y...

We're moving on to the 2nd round of Mickey's March Madness and our next competitor is raising the bar from its predecessor…1993’s Best of the Best 2! The violence gets cranked up to 11 as Tommy, Alex, and Travis get in over their heads with a silver tongued Wayne Newton who is leading them to slaughter at the hands of the mighty BRAKUS!!! The lore runs deep, the bodies pile up, and now Tommy is a...

Mickey's March Madness kicks off with a doozy! MORTAL KOMBAT!!!... Annihilation. I know, you may be asking yourself “Why do the sequel?”, well, because it's MADNESS, THAT'S WHY! We all know this one took a turn for the worst: No Christopher Lambert. No Lindon Ashby. No Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa…BUT, we do get an upgrade for Sonya Blade as well as some badass Lin Kuei Cyborg Assassins and a number of ot...

Friends, we've hit a nostalgia ceiling that I'm not sure we can ever eclipse. Equal? Probably, but never exceed. I honestly don't remember a time in my life when Batman wasn't around. The earliest memories of my grandfather are playing Batman with him on a rusty swing set. Mickey and Charlie share similar stories as we cover Batman 1989. Well...I say cover...we talk more about Batman memories than...

You may be cool, but are you Chad McQueen cool?! Actually, you probably are after watching 1991's Martial Law. Derek from Bad Movies, Worse People joins us to talk Karate cops looking to take down a gang of high end car thieves led by David Carradine! There's a BRIEF cameo from Professor TORU TANAKA!!!!...and a lovely helping of the always wonderful Cynthia Rothrock! That sounds like a lot of bada...

Month of Pete wraps up with two of our perverts: our very own Scream Queen, Anna, and best buddy, Erin, from Manic Movie Monday. This week is certainly a Pete Pick as we cover the Hammer exploitation classic The Vampire Lovers from 1970. Pete's love of Hammer horror movies has been clearly documented. From the acting to the set pieces and the absurdly silly red coloring of blood, it's no surprise...
