The B Movie Beatdown

You guys remember the crusades? No no, not that crusades, we're talking about the Spanish Inquisition this week because we're watching THE POPE'S EXORCIST. Its got demons, its got Vespas, and perhaps most importantly this one is stuffed to the brim with Russell Crowe as the right f*cking priest. So climb the wall and spit some latin, cuz we're rewriting some pretty big history with this flick.   I...

Do you want to play a game? Not really, but this week we're chained to a rusty pipe in SAW (2004)! James Wan's directorial debut about a grumpy old guy with nothing left to lose. More importantly, it has Danny Glover as an old detective with nothing left to lose. Either way, somebody's losing a foot.    Email: thebmoviebeatdown@gmail.com Instagram: @bmoviebeat Facebook: The B Movie Beatdown Bluesk...

Oh my god! It's a masked intruder, and he's taking off the mask… oh, he's just a shlubby little loser? Well anyways this week we're watching HUSH (2016), where we're asking ourselves: can a geeky little loser really be all that scary just because he carves a bunch of tally marks into his little crossbow?       Email: thebmoviebeatdown@gmail.com Instagram: @bmoviebeat Facebook: The B Movie Beatdown...

CAN YOU DIG IT?! This week we're high tailin' it back to Coney Island with THE WARRIORS (1979). Get ready for an awesome soundtrack, some ridiculous gangs, and a vibe you can only feel at 3 AM.

Tall blue cat-people! We're coming at you with a Blockbuster Beatdown of AVATAR (2009). It's coming in with the girthiest budget we may ever see on the pod, is responsible for creating new technologies in the industry, and it's still just okay. Down with the military-industrial complex, up with fingering things with our tails!   Instagram: @bmoviebeat Facebook: The B Movie Beatdown Email: thebmovi...

Feed me Seymour! Travel back in time with us this week as we examine LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS (1960). What do you get when you cross a butterworth with a venus fly trap? A nice perennial? An aromatic floral? Perhaps a maneating monster? Who can be sure? What we do know for sure is that a movie made in less than a week was never supposed to be this good, and only Corman can make it happen.   Email: t...

There's no escape! We're back this week with the next installment of the Mythica franchise. MYTHICA: THE IRON CROWN (2016) has us raising our eyebrows to a higher production value….with some weird choices? Anyhoo, expect more Matt Mercer, some Avengers level team work, and what we can only assume is a Ford Ranger disguised as a wagon. Instagram: @bmoviebeat Facebook: The B Movie Beatdown Email: th...

She's in the freezer! This week we're searching for Eva Green  in a hypothetical snow storm, with WHITE BIRD IN A BLIZZARD (2014)! It's full of cringy men-writing-women moments, hit or miss acting from Shailene Woodley, and a performance by Eva Green that has way too much Nic Cage in it. So come on down and join us as we step into Jordan's Fantasy, or maybe it's his own personal hell?   Instagram:...

The comet is coming!! Are you heading to the block party or taking shelter? Either way this week we're feasting our eyes on NIGHT OF THE COMET (1984)! The actual question we need to ask is: how did this influence Buffy again?

Hey, that's my car! This week we're buying sushi without paying by watching REPO MAN (1984). Join us as we talk about car repossession, Harry Dean Stanton's face, and the hum drums of bland consumerism. Oh, we've also clenched our fists around another one of Martin Sheen's acting children. It's time to collect. Email:  thebmoviebeatdown@gmail.com Instagram: @bmoviebeat Facebook: The B Movie Beatdo...

There's some Thing out there! This week we're heading to the Arctic, on the hunt for alien life, with THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD (1951)! We're bad with numbers, so this one got a worthy pass. So grab a pack of smokes and get ready to start chain smoking and calling each other Jack, Jack.

Hunky boys galore! This week we're taking the low road back to our roots, with PSYCHO GOREMAN! We've got some killer practical effects, a couple of shitty kid actors, and best of all: one of our hosts reveals their not so secret affinity for Power Rangers costumes.   Instagram:  @bmoviebeat Facebook: The B Movie Beatdown Email: thebmoviebeatdown@gmail.com Letterboxd: @Absolute__trash @SlenderJames...

Let's get political! This week Kyle decided to join us again to round out The Summer of Friendship with THE HUNT (2020). It's got gore! It's got grenades! It's got pitfalls! It has Emma Roberts! Briefly. Instagram:  @bmoviebeat Facebook: The B Movie Beatdown Email: thebmoviebeatdown@gmail.com Letterboxd: @Absolute__trash @SlenderJames   @Petedown

My eyes! This week Summer of Friendship and returning friend Chan are bringing us to the far reaches of space and hell with EVENT HORIZON (1997)! Dead kids, dead wives, and burning men, this movie has it all warped up with a beautiful flesh bow on top. Instagram: @bmoviebeat Facebook: The B Movie Beatdown Email: thebmoviebeatdown@gmail.com Letterboxd: @Absolute__trash @SlenderJames   @Petedown  

Fart sniffers unite! This week our Summer of Friendship continues, and our friend Kyle is bringing us SAINT MAUD (2020)! We've got staircase orgasms, extreme penance, and you guessed it...Self-immolation!! So come on down and decide for yourself if that burning smell is just in your head, this one is not for the faint of fart.  Instagram: @bmoviebeat Facebook: The B Movie Beatdown Email: thebmovie...

Don't drink the water. This week we're kicking off the Summer of Friendship! Our first guest is bringing us COLOR OUT OF SPACE (2019) where Nic Cage loves his alpacas more than his family, and an alien space rock lands in the backyard.  Instagram: @bmoviebeat Facebook: The B Movie Beatdown Email: thebmoviebeatdown@gmail.com Letterboxd: @Absolute__trash @SlenderJames   @Petedown  

Not Cube, Cubes. We've finished up the Cube franchise from the original '97 CUBE to Japan's 2021 remake. Now it's time to grab a seat and talk about the good, the bad, and the "what were they thinking?" of the franchise.   Instagram: @bmoviebeat Facebook: The B Movie Beatdown Email: thebmoviebeatdown@gmail.com Letterboxd: @Absolute__trash @SlenderJames   @Petedown

Hey, Loser, bust out your abacus and notepad because we're still not finished with Cube, but this time it's CUBE (2021)! This is the Japanese remake with nothing new to add and plenty of reasons to wonder why we trapped ourselves in this box again. Give me your boots.

The negotiator's on the phone and he wants us to release the hostages! Heh, is that what they're calling it these days? This week we're treating ourselves to another Blockbuster with S.W.A.T. (2003)! Join us as we reminisce about the early 2000s where everything was just a bit sexier, the main guy energy was palpable, and Jeremy Renner was still relatively unknown. Also stick around for the end to...

The company's been taken over by vampires, and we're getting the chomp! We know you love working in a soulsucking office building with a permanent yellow hue, so we've brought you BLOODSUCKING BASTARDS (2015)! Starring a ragtag group of slackers trying not to be drained by Pedro Pascal. It might be a good day to use your PTO. Instagram: @bmoviebeat Facebook: The B Movie Beatdown Email: thebmoviebe...

    Wolfcop! How many times can we say it? This week folks we take the hair of the dog that bit us with WOLFCOP (2014). What can you expect from such an eloquent film? Expect conversations to cover 5 o' clock shadow, exploding weiners, and full-on werewolf sex. You know, the usual!

A monkey, a mad scientist, and a quadriplegic walk into a bar. The scientist says, "Did you just walk!?" and the monkey sets the bar on fire. We're saying our fond farewells to RoMAYro, and we're doing it with style: with a monkey. MONKEY SHINES (1988) a bleak film about a man given a capuchin that's secretly being given brain-gooder juice until it turns homicidal. Proof that sometimes, ignorance...

Choke on em! Choke on em! That's right folks, this is the one we've all been waiting for. We're continuing the Romayro feast with DAY OF THE DEAD 1985. Finally it's time for some good ol' fashioned Savini zombies. So don't forget to refuel the helicopter, and we'll see you down in the bunker.

What a loser! Romayro is off to the races and this week we're taking a bite out of Romero's favorite: MARTIN (1977)! It's a real mystery to us why this movie is well-liked, but we'll keep the door open for Dario Argento's alternate version with a Goblin soundtrack to give us a better experience next time around. Instagram: @bmoviebeat Facebook: The B Movie Beatdown Email: thebmoviebeatdown@gmail.c...

Somebody's poisoned the water supply! This week we're starting off RoMAYro with nonstop screaming with THE CRAZIES (1973)! The small town of Evans City slowly goes insane as the military try their hardest to escalate the situation. Luckily, we have these two science guys that will do their science best, to get the science job science'd. Instagram: @bmoviebeat Facebook: The B Movie Beatdown Email:...
