Give Me Back My... the Podcast

All good things must come to an end and sadly the Month of Pete is no exception. That is unless we can get a social media campaign going to make this the Year of Pete. Hey, that's a good idea! CALL TO ARMS! Fans! Friends! Family! Freaks! We need YOUR help! Please write to us on all the social media platforms (don't forget the upcoming OF site) and email the show that YOU want an entire year of Pet...

There are no Ninjas like the AMERICAN NINJA! The Dudikoff abides in this 1985 action movie classic from the iconic Canon Group. Ninja stars! Ninja Lasers! Ninja Tire Irons! From a French crime boss with his very own evil Power Rangers training facility to Steve James grabbing Ninjas by the balls, there’s no end to the campy badass action in this blast from the past! Ninja vanish! POOF! Don't just...

You never know what film will pop up during The Month of Pete and...well... Pete picked the Bollywood modern classic "RRR" and it broke Nate. Broke him pretty bad. Sadly Anna was out sick and her shoulder wasn't available for Nate to cry on. Brian from Reviewing History returned to the show to sing the praises of the fictional epic featuring two of the most famous Indian folk heroes. Yes I said si...

Bruno Mattei is an infamous Italian director who's catalogue is full of some of the most egregious movie rip-offs of all time and this week's film, Cruel Jaws (aka Jaws 5) is no exception. Thankfully the cast was able to recruit Captain Steve from Bucket of Chum podcast to help us navigate through the confusing disjointed plot lines. Nate abandoned ship almost immediately and took Anna with him wh...

In a post apocalyptic, medieval, steampunk world, a man walking around with his own armory of weapons and a dark past arrives at a trading outpost cursed with a great evil that he's been hunting. Add in some industrial techno music, a gratuitous amount of somersaults, and a gigantic straight razor guillotine…and you've got 1999’s interpretation of the Old English epic poem BEOWULF! Didn't see that...

We start the MONTH OF PETE with special guest and fourth or fifth member of the Give Me Back cast, TROY! Now before roll your eyes and run for the hills because Pete is picking all the movies this month don't fear, he promised not to pick all Japanese hentai-body horror films this year. Maybe. Rest assured, however, he will pick four regretful movies that will test his friendship with cast and may...

Four years ago Charlie started a little show that covered both action and horror movies. Today it's still basically an action/horror podcast with a few new voices and a chaos that for some reason keeps YOU coming back every week to listen. In all seriousness, we are humbled that you waste...erm...invest your time listening to our dumb show. I hope that our enthusiasm, and many times our regret, fo...

Big ass robots fight for territories as an alternative to war in a dystopian future. Need I say more? Ok, fine! Chainsaw penis’, transforming into tanks, rocket fists, a space chase, and barroom brawls! This one gets pretty dark for a kids film, but that’s why we love the 80’s! If that’s not enough then stick around as we discuss the anime inspirations and the impact this film has made on cinema h...

Friends, here's the thing, I really enjoy writing these paragraphs but when I run into a show where we start making jokes and the whole thing devolves into a giggle-fest it's really had to put together a coherent thought. How about this, Dustin from Flicks and Friends joins the cast and chaos erupts almost immediately. Your takeaways from this preview are 1. Go watch Chopping Mall. 2. download the...

Welcome to 2025 and we start out the year celebrating Charlie's birthday month and he kicks off the party with a Bonified action Classic, Total Recall. Anna and Pete get all hot and bothered with the eye candy that is Sharon Stone and Michael Ironsides while Charlie and Nate swoon over a gun. Clearly Anna and Pete are clearly winning the podcast. We make our predictions as to if it's a dream or re...

A Canadian trucker with the ingenuity of Tony Stark and Batman’s desire for justice takes on a family of hillbilly hooligans after they cause the deaths of his entire family! His weapon of vengeance? The biggest, baddest Monster Truck you’ve ever seen on screen! We’ve got bar fights! We’ve got dummy kills! We’ve got big rig crashes! We’ve got Ned Beatty as a slimy owner of a strip club/bar/used ca...

It's official, the first episode of 2025 brings HUGE news as we add Anna as our fourth host. The rumor was that there was an attempt to replace either Nate or Pete with Anna which was met by the simple statement, "Well, why not replace both?" Thankfully Anna insisted we make a foursome out of the show (her words. don't call HR on me) and our first episode landed with a beautiful blood fountain cal...

We were bound and determined to end the year with a bang so we devised a poll that couldn't fail. Picking between Bee Keeper, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare and Deadpool guaranteed that everyone wins and we would end the year with a bang. Even with some voter fraud, we landed what was probably the best action movie of the year.  Bee Keeper is a throwback to the Cannon days of "Safety Be Dam...

The Hunt for the Death Merchant. Assault on Death Mountain. Shadow Warriors 2. What do these titles have in common? They’re the same film! Parker from Dissect that Film returns from our Assault on Devil’s Island episode to dissect the action and bad acting as it relates to Hulk Hogan himself! Will Dustin defend the Hulksters honor? Will Mickey finally profess his love for Martin Kove? Will Charlie...

Anna joins us again for this gush fest, or should I say SPURT-fest, for the ridiculous, absurd, many times stupid and infinitely entertaining Jason X. This movie is bad and the cast knows it but could care less because it's AWESOME.  Arguably the best in the franchise with the exception of the genre establishing first four movies, Jason X is a joy. So much so that Nate went to Dairy Queen for a pr...

This week we cover the greatest Christmas Action movie since Die Hard... Ernest Saves Christmas. It's agreed that Ernest is a National Treasure however Nate is a bit of a Christmas curmudgeon. That doesn't spoil the the conversation in the least as we giggle our way through this ridiculous movie. Even Ed Marino thought it was a great show and if Ed thought it was great then you KNOW it's a ball.

If you want peace on Earth, there's only one man that can make it happen, CHUCK NORRIS. B-ACTION takes on Christmas with this week's pick, 1985’s Invasion USA! With this much badassery exploding off the screen we needed back up, and Logan of Video Villa Entertainment answered the call! So deck the bad guys with boughs of fists and bullets and have yourself a merry little rampage of revenge. Matt H...

Brian from Reviewing History and our Scream Queen Anna join the cast to discuss one of the best vampire films ever. Yes, I said ever. No doubt this movie has it's flaws but far makes up for it's shortcomings with a rich story, creepy atmosphere, hopeless scenario and delicious gore. This film is anything but a traditional sexy vampire and the gang revels in the monstrous nature of these beasts. A...

Bruce Willis deserves to be included on the Mt. Rushmore of genuine good guys from Hollywood. He's given us so much entertainment over the decades all while being an outstanding citizen and a kick ass father. It breaks our hearts that his health is failing but instead of wallowing in sorrow we're going to celebrate all the joy he's brought to us.  Kathleen, Pete's partner in crime over at Good Bee...

In a galaxy far far away…Aliens beat the hell out of each other for money and fame in the Arena! Can Steve Armstrong, Earth's first legitimate contender in decades, overcome the seedy underground crime syndicate looking for an easy pay day?! Listen to us whisper sweet nothings about fight manger Quinn, recognizing Shorty’s rizz, and praise the awesome practical effects ranging from huge set pieces...

We have it on audio recording that this movie is NOT Pete's fault even though he picked the movie. Too bad Pete forgot to send it to Charlie in advance. Friends, this movie is bad. Even bad as compared to other bad martial art movies. It not recommended to see unless this is your kind of bad. The director, Godfrey Ho, is famous for taking the budget of one movie and then chopping it up and inserti...

One of the most action packed ninja movies in the past 15 years karate chops us right in the titties as Charlie and Nate gush over this mile a minute freight train of fists, blades and bitchin kyoketsu-shoge. Yeah, we can't pronounce it either but it's one of the coolest weapons we've had the pleasure to discuss. Pete paid respect to the film but really didn't like it. That's his freaking problem...

It’s Captain America and The Incredible Hulk vs a seedy underground cage fighting ring! Well, kinda. Reb Brown and Lou Ferrigno star in 1989s Cage, a film Wikipedia calls “Possibly the greatest movie ever made”! Did it live up to the hype? Is Lou Ferrigno possibly the greatest actor of all time? Is Al Leong a bad guy in this one? You'll just have to find out when you get into the cage with B-ACTIO...

Ninja November was supposed to be pretty cut and dried. You needed a ninja in either an action movie or a horror movie. To complicate things slightly, Charlie said the movies had to have the word "ninja" in the title. Really not that difficult. This week, Nate was able to burn every podcasting host bridge by not only picking a movie WITHOUT ninja in the title but he also picked a movie WITHOUT a n...

Cannon does it again. What did they do? They made a movie but in this case it's amazing...but not really...Did we like this? I think so. Maybe not. We brought the whole gang from B Action over to double check as well...did it help... Aww hell. Go watch it.
