Grindbin Podcast - Grindhouse and Exploitation Films

Summer Sequel Month 2023 kicks off with a trip back to the beach with The Grindbin Beach Party Crew! The second in the Beach Party movies finds the gang renting a love shack on the sand next to a stable of human-trafficked bodybuilders managed by Don Rickles. Incredibly bad surfing montages, Dick Dale, a very pissed off Anette, and NO ERIC VON ZIPPER make for an entertaining, if slightly infuriati...

Can you see us? Can you hear us? The Grindbin has returned! Bobby, Yobo, Mike Rat, and Mike discuss the epic merging of Ken Russell and The Who in 1975's rock opera, Tommy.  If you ever wanted to hear Yobo sing, this is the episode for you!

Bobby, Mann, Eddie and Mike oil up and hit the beach to talk about a recent Patreon Poll winner, Hardbodies (1984). Based off a Penthouse letter (not a joke) Hardbodies is about the laziest movie you could ever imagine... and it's amazing. 

The other Tim, Bobby, Steve and Izzy, and Mike discuss the winner of a recent Patreon Poll, The Black Tight Killers from 1966. Hondo is on a flight home from the fireworks war and befriends a flight attendant, only to find out she is kidnapped and now he is apparently tasked with finding her. An incredible hidden gem, BTK is perfect Grindbin fare. 

Yobo, Jersey James, Bobby, and Mike discuss a real NEW YORK movie. A karateman goes on a search-and-destroy mission to kill the ruthless landlords who maybe murdered his father. We learn all about the New York of the 70's complete with old building kings, marking your territory, and how the rats used to be great! 

Bobby, Mary, Fern, and Mike discuss the Italian definitely-not a rip-off of Jaws that features an incredible accent changing performance from Vic Morrow. This might be the most American movie ever, we're talking shark guns, mysterious cowboys, shotguns on boats, American flags, and the biggest fu^&ing net you've ever seen! So grab those pillows, load that meat pole, and get ready for some shark bi...

Bobby, Yobo, Terry, and Mike discuss Jamaa Fanaka's prison boxing epic, Penitentiary. On this epsiode we learn  way too much about Mr. Goodbars, a new Yobo grift to become a professional boxer, what Nell's favorite candy bar would be, and more!

Bobby, Daniel, and Mike are joined by Mike Justice to discuss a recent Patreon Poll winner. After her mother and lover are killed by a hammerman, Ellie is sent to a mysterious orphanage full of sausage eaters, reanimated corpses, and Uncle Leo!

The boys are joined by Wick and Chris in Miami to discuss the Walter Hill classic, Hard Times. A street fighting Charles Bronson teams up with a fast talking James Coburn to eat chili, drink night coffee, and kick some ass. 

Mike talks with casting director Mark Sikes to get behind the stories on your favorite PM Entertainment movies (Hologram Man, Skyscraper, The Sweeper) as well as his experience working with Roger Corman. 

Bobby, Matt Simpson (from Movie Melt!), and Mike discuss the PM entertainment classic, Hologram Man! A dude in a Korn wig murders the governor of CA and comes back as a "hologram man" in the near future to bring down the corrupt corporate government. As a special bonus, we have an interview with the casting director from this film, Mark Sikes, coming up on our main feed where he answers all questi...

Wick, Vaughn, Brady, and Mike discuss the recent winner of the John Huston Would Do Anything Poll from our Patreon, 1976's The Visitor. Is this an incredible artistic vision realized onscreen, or just some dude that liked hot dogs and Pong? Does Vaughn finish filing his taxes by the end of the episode? Can a Vampire be a Motorcycle? All these questions will be answered... and more! 

The grindbin will return with a new episode next week! For now, enjoy a recent mini bin from our Patreon.  Bobby, Wick, Chef Robby, and Mike discuss the 1950's gameshow about married couples being forced to talk to horny ventriloquist dummies and then asked questions to try and feed their families for another week.   

Chef Robby and J.M. Brandt join Bobby and Mike to discuss this sci-fi most dangerous game mashup. A movie that seemingly has everything you could ever ask for in a bad movie: bad sci-fi effects, monsters, horny robots, an attractive cast, Predator's weird brother... yet it delivers on NONE of this. Slave Girls ranks as one of the worst movies we've ever had to cover on the bin, so enjoy our pain! 

Daniel, James, Chuck, and Mike discuss the second winner in the Here Come The Boys poll from our Patreon. The Hollywood Knights is fondly remembered by some people... and those people are not most of the Grindbin crew. Potentially  more offensive than Party Animal, The Hollywood Knights has everything you could never want in a movie; which makes it a perfect choice to be on the Grindbin. So start...

With the recent passing of legendary director, and Grindbin All Star, Ruggero Deodato (Raiders of Atlantis), the bin and Lee and Leah from TMBDOS! celebrate one of his lesser talked about films, Cut and Run (1985). Often mistaken for a cannibal movie (like Deodato's Cannibal Holocaust), Cut and Run is a drug running movie with a brilliant performance from Grindbin all star Richard Lynch and an inc...

Shane, Terry, Bobby, and Mike regrettably dicuss a poll winner from the Patreon, 1984's The Party Animal. Maybe the high-water mark for bad sex comedies, this movie is so depraved that it's been nearly scrubbed from existence... making it a must see for the Grindbin audience! 

Bobby, Julie, Chris in Miami, and Mike discuss the winner of a recent Patreon poll, the Walter Hill classic, Streets of Fire (1984). A box office failure sandwiched between massive blockbusters, Streets of Fire is a hidden gem of forgotten cinema. Featuring an iconic performance from Rick Moranis, an unforgettable Willem Dafoe, a young Diane Lane, and... Michael Paré. This one is a love fest every...

The Astrologer (1976) is an absolute must see movie for fans of this show. One man's ultimate vanity project, found in a dumpster with a bunch of porno films, unable to be released due to the illegal use of Moddy Blues music, has finally resurfaced online. We delve into the mystery of Craig Denney, who may, or may not, have faked his own death.

PM Entertainment returns to the Gridbin (Rage, The Sweeper) with an over-the-top action movie starring... Anna Nicole Smith? Anna, playing a helicopter pilot who dreams of getting pregnant and having picnics, has to single-handedly stop a terrorist group from taking over the Boggle factory. Featuring 80 year old men henchmen, mid-action sex breaks, and the mysterious disapearance of a Grindbin hos...

What happens when Cannon films gives a two time pulitzer prize winning author the chance to write and direct any movie he wants? The greatest failure of cinema ever created.  

Bobby, Chef Robby, and Sir Charles discuss a Joe Don Baker, Robert Loggia 70's car movie where neither men have decided to care... or even read the script. The agressive apathy provides mind blowing moments onscreen and a great movie for the Grindbin. 

A child is thrown from a roof, a man is excited about hot soup on a cold night, Charles Nelson Reilly might have killed a man in the bayou... Cannon, you've done it again!

Tanner, Jersey James, Bobby, and Mike discuss Skatetown U.S.A., a movie that has everything you could ever want. Subpar skate routines, a young Patrick Swayze whipping his belt around, and freakin' Murray Langston. A legendary 70's ensemble movie that was nearly lost to time but recently re-released on Blu-Ray, Skatetown is worth lacing up for. 

Bobby and Mike are joined by Julie and Matt Anderson on their Christmas trip to rural Wisconsin to discuss a movie written, directed, and produced by one really, really high guy. What starts out as a family get together devolves into a film that features a mind reading mother, a Nestle Quick to the balls, Scanners brain powers, Predator vision, and a Samurai ghost! Unwrap and enjoy.
