The B Movie Beatdown

There's TWO snakes! This week we're running a secret military operation and hunting down some giant PYTHONS 2! Billiard Zabka is back and this time he has a gang of goons with lightning guns, flamethrowers, explosions and a truck driver. . . a truck driver? Well, grab your favorite leather duster and meet us somewhere in Russia for PYTHONS 2!   Instagram: @bmoviebeat Facebook: The B Movie Beatdown...

Odinki Daska, Guys! The first of our Summer of Sequels takes us back to Tromaville for THE TOXIC AVENGER PART II!

I'm afraid to close my eyes! This week we are joined by a friend of the pod as we discuss the paranormal found footage phenomenon: THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT! It may not be the first found footage movie, but it is the first for this podcast. Grab a couple granola bars, throw the map into the river, and don't listen to the voices.   Instagram: @bmoviebeat Facebook: The B Movie Beatdown Email: thebmovi...

Guns in a Guitar Case! This week we're taking a trip south of the border with Robert Rodriguez 's debut film, EL MARIACHI! Made with $7k and a dream, it's a pinnacle in low budget filmmaking; real townspeople extras, homemade stunts and effects, and pure indie movie magic. It's fast, it's gritty, it's worth its weight in coconuts.   Instagram: @bmoviebeat Facebook: The B Movie Beatdown Email: theb...

  There is No Downstairs! This week we're running from cults, flesh monsters and medical malpractice in THE VOID! A small town cop goes from sleeping on the job to shotgun wielding hero in this Lovecraftian Horror. It's like a sandwich, triangle cult on the outside, terrible flesh monsters on the inside.

  Traditional Family Values! This week we're on the hunt for the perfect family with THE STEPFATHER! Terry O'Quinn shines in this psychological horror as the wanna be family man Jerry Blake, or is that really his name? Well, whatever it is you won't want to miss it. Lock the doors, set the table and don't ask too many questions if you know what's good for you. Instagram: @bmoviebeat Facebook: The...

There's No Reason! This week we're rolling into telekinetic madness and keeping our heads from exploding with RUBBER! This dark comedy follows the journey of a tire - yes, a literal tire - Its psionic powers, unrelenting bloodlust, and a vague journey of self discovery.

It's a Brotherhood of Steel! This week we're thrashing to DEATHGASM, where the power of metal actually can summon demons! Expect heavy riffs, buckets of blood, and headbanging mayhem.

How the Hell do we get Outta Here?! Set your watches because this week we're crawling, climbing and defying logic with CUBE 2: HYPERCUBE. This sci-fi mystery is held together by sheer confusion, questionable physics and an endless need to fill the silence. It will have you questioning your own intelligence, the intelligence of the characters, and leave you shouting "PLEASE STOP EATING JERRY!" Find...

Fill up your tank, and don't forget your shotgun! This week, we're tearing through the sun-scorched highways of MAD MAX. George Miller kicks off his apocalyptic saga with a baby-faced Mel Gibson as "Mad" Max Rockatansky,  a lawman in desperate need of a vacation.

Dios mio! It's May 5th and you know what that means… It's Cinco de Masko! Join us on a nostalgic, and quite romantic, deviation this week with MASK OF ZORRO. Antonio Banderas and Anthony Hopkins bring a Tornado of swashbuckling action! In this, our highest budget blockbuster yet!

Pocket marbles! Fire up that police scanner and get your duct tape cuz we're hitting the streets vigilante style this week with DEFENDOR. It's a surprisingly heartwarming tale of a man trying to do the right thing, in a misguided way. Also Woody Harrelson throws jars of hornets at bad guys, which kind of rules. Find us online: Instagram: @bmoviebeat Facebook: The B Movie Beatdown Email: thebmovieb...

Locked up! Come undercover with us this week as we take on another b movie trope: women's prison films. Sure there's lots of nude scenes, but this one has a little something more about it. Has anyone seen my shank? I know I left it somewhere… Find us online: Instagram: @bmoviebeat Facebook: The B Movie Beatdown Email: thebmoviebeatdown@gmail.com Letterboxd: @Petedown @SlenderJames  

Spring Break is here! This week we're traveling down to Florida for nationals with BIKINI SPRING BREAK. Lots of antics with one as we talk about yet another member of the Carradine family. Will We make it there in time? Probably not, but Pete wants to compete in the wet t-shirt contest, so we'll try our darnedest.

Liftoff! This week we're experiencing some extra G's in the centrifuge with PROXIMA. A story told from the perspective of a mother facing astronaut training in preparation for a mission to the ISS. The winding emotional arc here really took us by surprise, and of course it was a good week for Jordan because his one true love Eva Green takes center stage, and weirdly changes on camera like a bunch...

Heist time! MONEY PLANE brings us a classic professional-thief-redemption plot, and who better to lead this ragtag group of high stakes thieves than the Rated-R Superstar himself, Edge? And you know what, throw in Fraiser Crane smoking cigars and threatening everyone just for the hell of it. Truthfully, this one was a rough watch, but we had fun tearing it apart and we think you will too. Find us...

Chock! We're delivering the killing blow to Marchial arts this week with FIST OF FURY. Finally, a Bruce Lee movie. I mean, it took us long enough... This Hong Kong film has a whole lot of artistry scattered amongst its 100 minutes, and a fair shake of dry exposition. So grab your snack paper and enjoy the satisfying sounds of nunchucks hitting knees. Find us online: Instagram: @bmoviebeat Facebook...

Kachow! What happens when you mix high-octane gunfights with neck breaking martial arts? THE RAID: REDEMPTION. This Indonesian feature takes action to a whole new level with nonstop intensity and some killer editing. Also what's with all the knives to the neck? Seems like this movie really centers around how much damage a neck can take before a guy dies... Find us online: Instagram: @bmoviebeat Fa...

Hi-ya! Let's travel to Hong Kong this week and take party in the deadly Kumite with BLOODSPORT. Jean-Claude Van Damme serves up splits, smiles, and some slick kicks in this classic 80s flick. Wait a sec, is that Mick Foley? Nope, I wish. But it does have a young Forest Whitaker which is pretty cool.   Find us online: Instagram: @bmoviebeat Facebook: The B Movie Beatdown Email: thebmoviebeatdown@gm...

  Pow! It's the first week of Marchial Arts and we're kicking off with the cult classic KUNG POW! ENTER THE FIST. Steve Oedekerk serves up this wickedly zany satire of classic martial arts movies, complete with groundhog nunchucks, fighting cows, and a tongue that just won't quit. Choose your fighter and keep your hands up to block the beatdown that's coming your way. Find us online: Instagram: @b...

We're going back…to the swamp! It's time to put a cap on our hatchet series with VICTOR CROWLEY. Parry Shen makes a return, starring this time alongside an almost completely new cast, a pretty classic Adam Green move if you ask me. Join us for one last bloodbath and keep an eye out for Canada geese, we don't want any bird strike taking this plane down. Find us online: Instagram: @bmoviebeat Facebo...

Lovers beware! It's that time of year again. It's time for the big Valentine's Day party, and everyone in town is invited…Wait, Did someone just mail the mayor a human heart in a candy box?? MY BLOODY VALENTINE is here to deliver hugs and kisses and shock and awe! Who's your valentine this year? Ours is Harry Warden…   Find us online: Instagram: @bmoviebeat Facebook: The B Movie Beatdown Email: th...

Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers! Time for some more science fiction horror this week, C.H.U.D takes us to the seedy underbelly of New York City, and a toxic truth that will shake the foundation of the city... Another cool thing about this movie is that for about 3 minutes we get to see a young John Goodman in his first movie playing a New York cop. Honestly, for an 80s movie, this one...

Animation!? Yes, we have waited long enough, it's time to do an animated flick, and who better to start with than Ralph Bakshi? WIZARDS takes us thousands of years into the future, where things look very different, but there is something all too familiar about this story's big bad guy. Take a stroll down this very trippy hand-drawn avenue with us, and fear not if this isn't your favorite, because...
