Give Me Back My... the Podcast

This week's Spooky Month episode wasn't very difficult for Charlie to pick. Because once again he was able to blend Action and Horror with the help of one of his favorite directors take on vampire movies with... John Carpenter's Vampires. Join the guys as they dive into 90s era Carpenter and find out just how much Charlie loves this particular time of Carpenters career much to Pete's chagrin. 

Even though the film was in production hell for well past these franchise's experation dates, the excitement for a Freddy v Jason movie was through the roof. The frenzied anticipation was too much for even these icons of cinema and fair or not, the film fell flat with the fans. Keenly aware that I'm quickly running out of alliterations, we'll simply say this; Freddy v Jason isn't as good as it cou...

There comes a time where every boy must become a man. It’s a time of passage that is passed on from generation to generation. Now at the ripe age of 35 it is time for Nate to take that step into manhood by watching Desperado. Even though his parents told him he’s not allowed to watch this one.... Shows what they know! He'll watch whatever he wants and stay up as late as he wants.  So join the guys...

Since his arrival Pete's been guilty of trying to bring some class to the podcast by selecting films that have something to say or are even artful. Much to the delight of Charlie and Nate this is not one of those times. Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers is as advertised. Hookers from Hollywood killing John's with chainsaws. That's it. Boobs, blood and...well...boobs. It's definitely a strong recommend fo...

You may not know it but movies and television like Kill Bill, 13 Assassins, and The Professional, The Mandalorian and The Last of Us all owe Lone Wolf and Cub a great debt of gratitude even if Charlie and Nate wrongly dislike it. Thankfully the cultured stylings of Troy and Pete were able to team up with the Reviewing History Podcast's Brian Ruppert to set them straight. We talk about the Edo Peri...

The time has come. It is Nate and Pete’s birthday month! After a month of Neon we now take a step into celebrating these two knuckleheads birth!   If you had the ingredients to make a Nate you would take equal parts; humor, gore, horror, and metal. Throw those in a bowl and stir. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes and you get a Nate. Which is why Deathgasm is the perfect horror movie for his first selecti...

Throughout cinema history films such as 2001, The Ten Commandments, Seven Samurai, King Kong, The Matrix and Jurassic Park are of such a quality that you can only feel lucky that you were alive to experience them. Is Turbo Kid such a movie? In our eyes it was.... We won't spend a lot of time singing it's praises here but instead encourage you to go watch this cinematic masterpiece (all Hail Tubi)...

So this week Charlie suggested a cold watch for the guys based solely on the title.....Neon Maniacs. Nate was reluctant, Pete had no clue but Charlie was relentless for some reason to include it in The Month of Neon...come on just look at the title. But be warned now...we highly recommend you watch this movie first (all hail Tubi) before you listen to this weeks episode. Or you can be the rebel we...

What does Nate getting a haircut, the Fan Favorite from Ink Master season 12 & 14, and a movie that was already covered in the first year of the podcast all have in common? Well that's the exact circumstances that led to the guys covering 'Con Air' as an extra special bonus episode this week! Charlie and Nate are joined by none other than artist/tattoo extraordinaire Creepy Jason himself in th...

This week the guys step into a psychedelic world of a murderous cult and a man hell bent on revenge. Mandy has been an extremely polarizing film since it’s release. A film that truly falls under a love it or hate it umbrella. This time we recruited Jeff from Suns and Shadows to help cover this color soaked movie. Prepare to scream along with us in a bloody passion of love and vengeance. The only w...

This week begins our month of Neon as designed by our very own Nate. Every movie will have a very distinct color palette that sets it apart from the run of the mill movie experience. Our first selection is Psycho Goreman, a movie that.....******static******   "Pathetic humans using airwaves to spread my message of death and destruction. Foolish cowards that believe they tell my tale. Their feeble...

This week we wanted to do something a little different, we wanted to do a true double feature. But not the kind we've done before when we cover two movies on one show...no, we wanted to cover two movies on two separate shows. We joined forces with A Cut Above: Horror Review show to cover the best possible double feature that fit both shows.... Grindhouse-  featuring Planet Terror on their show and...

Well we've finally come to our final Month of Action movie selection. This weeks pick was purely for the love and nostalgia of 80s action movies and with that in mind I could only pick one movie.... "MegaForce"!!!! Join the guys as they relive their childhoods and watch a movie every 12 year old boy wished that he had wrote but reenacted it scene for scene in the backyard. We show our love for pra...

There always seems to be an argument in the world that sequels are lesser parts than their original. We here at Give Me Back My Action Movies disagree with this ideology! This week we recruited some help with @phatsamurai and his action knowledge to breakdown "What happens when the buddy cops return?" So strap yourself to your toilet (check for bombs first) and be prepared for a non stop thrill ri...

Pop quiz hotshot.... You takeover a podcast with an entire month of actions movies...What is the most important movie you can cover?! Easy...'Speed' of course! Strap in and brace yourselves as the guys take you on a ride that is a high energy action packed film worthy of being called a Summer Blockbuster. This week we were able to get Troy back on the show and he brought an amazing surprise with h...

This month Charlie has taken it upon himself to declare July the "Month of Action", horror always gets its spotlight in October so he decided that action needed a spotlight as well. And what better way to kick it off than to pick a movie with as many action stars as possible... Expendables 2!!!! But Charlie wasn't done there because he also brought a special guest this week, Eoin from The Action E...

Anytime you sit down to watch a Cronenberg film you can always count on seeing something gross, disturbing or both...Usually both. Scanners has possibly one of the most famous practical gore effects in cinematic history. Even if you haven’t seen Scanners, you probably have seen this head explosion. The film is considered a classic by many horror fans but how does Charlie, Nate and Pete feel about...

The Raid obviously needs no introduction, as a film that took action fans by total surprise and gave the genre a much needed shot in the arm. It's also a film that Nate got to introduce to Pete once he discovered Pete had never seen this one before. And what better time to cover a modern martial arts movie than after doing one from the 70s with Monkey Kung Fu.  So please enjoy this fast paced acti...

We wish we were covering this movie under better circumstances but unfortunately we recently lost Ray Stevenson. So Charlie and Nate decided to honor him the best way they knew how and make a bonus episode covering one of the most over the top ultra violent comic book movies to date.... Punisher: War Zone.  The guys dig into what makes this version of the Punisher stand out amongst all the others...

In the Summer of 2023, 3 podcasters went missing while trying to uncover the secrets of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Uh, well…The Next Generation)   A film made by one half of the original movie team. Where does this movie stand in the very confusing timeline of TCM? Has this truly been a cult classic the entire time or is it the lowest point of the franchise? It did get a release from Shout Facto...

Podcasting is full of surprises, take for example the three surprising questions that popped up this week as we watched Monkey Kung Fu.  First, if you had to guess, how many Shaw Brother Kung Fu movies released in 1979 have Monkey Kung Fu in the title? Second, "can a Kung Fu movie have too much Kung Fu?" And third, are Charlie and Nate mad at Pete again for picking another shitty film? Honest, the...

Our Creature Feature/Apocalypse month has not gone exactly as plan. Nate went rogue and bashed almost everything this month, Pete was in the middle of the road, and poor Charlie watched his heart get stomped on repeatedly. But a shining light (Bugzapper is more like it) was discovered. A giant bug (Wasp....thanks Nate) movie that the trio had never seen before that contained some amazing practical...

This week the guys cover another Post Apocalyptic movie called 'Steel Dawn', starring the always graceful yet completely badass Patrick Swayze. But its not just Patrick having to be a heroic Nomad this episode because Charlie found himself standing alone in his love of this 80's Sword and Sandal adventure. Nate and Pete unfortunately sided with the ever evil Hordes and tried to rip Charlies nostal...

It's been teased long enough! This week Charlie was able to bring his very first 'R' rated monster movie to the podcast..."Deepstar Six". A movie that neither Nate nor Pete had seen before ( I know shocking right?!) but even tho it's one that Charlie has seen numerous times over the years he still found a new experience to share with everyone. Listen along to find out what Nate and Pete thought of...

This week Charlie and Nate are left unsupervised so they decided to cover the 2008 movie 'Doomsday', a movie Charlie has been wanting to cover for awhile. Listen along as the boys dive into another Neil Marshall helmed film and join Charlie as he starts his journey into what Nate really thinks of this director. And while Pete was unable to attend fret not because he did manage to watch the movie a...
