The B Movie Beatdown

Summer Camp is here! For our first week of activities, we'll be covering 1981's THE BURNING. Have you ever seen a young Jason Alexander with a head full of hair? No? Turns out he's a hunk. What can you expect? Well it starts with a pretty cool fire walk, then there's questionable nudity, and finally the whole thing is sprinkled with some top notch Tom Savini special effects. So check it out!   Fin...

Ho Ho Ho, it's Christmas!! ...in July? This week we decided to get festive with a holiday pick that's only slightly preferable to a lump of coal. SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT PART 2 isn't what we asked for from Santa, but it's what we deserved. Did we watch the first one? Not at all. Turns out, it doesn't make a lick of difference. So strap in, check your list twice, and get ready for gaRbAgE dAY!! F...

What's this! HATCHET 2! Sure, why not. The BMB boys continue the franchise with another backlog episode. With that, this flick brings more violence and gore in the same kind of way that makes the first Hatchet so endearing to us. So lets strap in, take another swamp tour, and maybe we'll survive another Thursday night... Find us online: Instagram: @bmoviebeat Facebook: The B Movie Beatdown Email:...

It's Mardi Gras! Oh wait no that can't be right... Ah, I see here in my notes is says this week we have another backlog episode for you. HATCHET takes us on a tromp through the swamp with a conga line of horror movie alumni. There's something about a movie like this that makes you wanna curl up on a Thursday night and binge some b horror, you know what I mean? Find us online: Instagram: @bmoviebea...

Holy dinosaurs! That's an expression right? Well, it is now... Why am I excited? Because this week we have our second ever guest episode! Our good friend Sam joins us to discuss THE VELOCIPASTOR. This flick has been requested for some time now so we're bringing it to you live, and in front of a studio audience! Not really, but let's pretend it is just for funzies.

Oh hi Mark! Well, I guess this was inevitable. You can't have a B movie podcast and not talk about THE ROOM. Tommy Wiseau's magnum opus, if you can call it that. In this episode, we try to psychoanalyze Tommy, and get inside his mind. We wanted to figure out just what the hell he was going for with this movie. I guess that was our first mistake. Find us online: Instagram: @bmoviebeat Facebook: The...

Holy cow, another one from the archives! METAMORPHOSIS: THE ALIEN FACTOR takes us back to our early days of recording in late 2023. We've been sitting on this one for just the right occasion. Turns out this week is just that occasion so whammo you get a special backlog episode, enjoy!

We've been hoodwinked! Bamboozled even. PRISON SHIP: STAR SLAMMER promises a spacefaring take on the classic, low budget, women's prison flick... and it really only delivers on the sci-fi. Join us this week as we try to escape the mediocrity of this low budget prison. You'll see a couple of familiar faces from our Surf Nazis episode, and that means Jordan gets to keep crushing on Dawn Wildsmith. F...

Get off the ground! This week we're doing TREMORS. Oh yeah, this one's for us. We go deep and get into the dirt on this franchise-starter. I mean they're giant, subterranean, prehistoric worms. What's not to love? They eat people too. So yeah. Boom. Consider this movie stepped on. Find us online: Instagram: @bmoviebeat Facebook: The B Movie Beatdown Email: thebmoviebeatdown@gmail.com  

Our first Roger Corman flick is finally here! DEATH RACE 2000 takes us down a road (pun intended) that we haven't gone down before.  It's all about speed! It's all about deception! It's a commentary on capitalism and the exploitation of the entertainment industry! Come check it out if you want to see a pre-Rocky Sylvester Stallone play the bad guy! Find us online: Instagram: @bmoviebeat Facebook:...

Week four of TroMAY is here at last! We get all Shakespearean up in this mess with TROMEO AND JULIET. This film acts as a nice cap to our month long Troma exercise, and we get to talk about a couple future Hollywood stars. So strap in and get ready for this tale as old as time, told through a thick Troma lens. Find us online: Instagram: @bmoviebeat Facebook: The B Movie Beatdown Email: thebmoviebe...

Woah week three is here! Tromay takes us on a wee bit of a trip this week with SURF NAZIS MUST DIE. I mean, it's pretty much what you'd expect it to be. Nazis suck and they all die. Find us online: Instagram: @bmoviebeat Facebook: The B Movie Beatdown Email: thebmoviebeatdown@gmail.com  

TroMay week two! We've graduated and we're continuing this farce with CLASS OF NUKE 'EM HIGH. This movie is just as crazy as Kabukiman, if not crazier. Honestly, it just adds to the mayhem: We're talking mutations, acts of terrorism, a fast tracked pregnancy, and a whole lot more. We also welcome back not one, not two, but three actors from our very first episode. So let's enroll and get started!...

TroMay is here! Four weeks of Troma movies! For week one we'll be  starting with SGT. KABUKIMAN N.Y.P.D. This one's a banger. I mean, we're talking about minor cannibalism, live exotic animals, drug smuggling priests, and best of all, a man gains the powers of a kabuki superhero. We got all the fixin's for an R rated film wrapped up nicely in a PG-13 sushi roll. So come check it out! Find us onlin...

Neon Maniacs! Isn't that a Sabbath song? Nah, you're thinking Neon Knights. NEON MANIACS is this week's pick. Join us as we deep dive into why this movie struggled to get off the ground, and why it's such a mess. I mean, are they cenobites? Nope. Are they a demonic version of The Village People? Closer, but still nah. I guess....they're just the maniacs! Find us online: Instagram: @bmoviebeat Face...

Glaze it, don't blaze it! Nah I'm just kidding, you know why we're here. Happy 420! This episode comes out two days late, but we decided to do EVIL BONG anyways! In this hazy flick, four roommates buy a mysterious possessed bong and succumb to its power one by one. Grab a seat and share a toke as we puff puff pass our thoughts back and forth on this Tommy Chong-lead flick. Find us online: Instagra...

It's your birthday! Let's go down to Willy's Wonderland and celebrate! Maybe if we're lucky, the animatronics won't eat us. This week's episode is all about the Nic Cage flick WILLY'S WONDERLAND. There's a lot to unpack here, so let's put our fun hats on and dive head first into this ball pit of murder, evisceration, and satanic rituals. Hooray! Find us online: Instagram: @bmoviebeat Facebook: The...

Joke time! What's long, hard, and full of seamen? You're wrong, it's a submarine! Like the one from this week's movie, IT CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA. From 1955, this will be our oldest movie yet. The real treat though, is all of the awesome special effects done by the legendary Ray Harryhausen. We talk about him, and loads of other stuff, so check it out! Find us online: Instagram: @bmoviebeat Face...

BLOCKBUSTER BEATDOWN?!? What's this nonsense? For April Fools this year, we've decided to bring you one of the biggest and most famous movies of all time, JURASSIC PARK. Is it low budget? No, not at all. Is it good? Yes, definitely. Do we tear it apart like a velociraptor? Not a chance. Check out this first episode of our new "high concept" segment to the show. Welcome to Jurassic Park! Find us on...

We're not even supposed to be here today! Nah I'm just kidding, we're happy to be here. This week we did Kevin Smith's career making film, CLERKS. Made for a measly $27,000 dollars, we go over the ins and outs that make this low budget film a hit.

It's a hard ticket....TO HAWAAAAIIIIII! Sorry about that, it'll make more sense if you listen to the bitch'n theme song from this film. HARD TICKET TO HAWAII is the first film we've covered by Andy Sidaris. Also, it's our first guest episode! Our friend and yours Alicia, joins our discussion this week. So stick around if you want to hear us talk about intrusive thoughts, rocket guns, and what cons...

This one's a doozy! HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN is over the top in so many ways, but we just had to share this experience with you. I mean, we're talking executions in the street, excessive violence and gore, and... murder by ice skates? Really? Jesus Christ. All this and more as we dive head first into the mayhem. You've been warned. Also, The Plague rules. Find us online: Instagram: @bmoviebeat Facebook...

Hey brother! This week is different for the B Movie beatdown. Well not really, but kind of. There's a twist I guess. Pete found this SHADOW WARRIORS episode between the couch cushions, we're pretty sure it's still good. Jordan found a quarter and an expired coupon. Anyways, it's our first Hulk Hogan movie, but more importantly it has the late great Carl Weathers. Find us online: Instagram: @bmovie...

The night he came home! That's right folks, this week we talk about 1978's John Carpenter's HALLOWEEN. This is the biggest movie we've covered yet. Highlights of our discussion include: leitmotifs, another quiz, and this film's amazing ending. We also dip our toes into Jordan's childhood trauma and villainous origin story, just a little bit though. Muy pequeño. Find us online: Instagram: @bmoviebe...

Happy REBruary! See what I did there? This week we cover MERCENARY FIGHTERS. Our first Reb Brown movie! Somehow this flick has almost no presence on the internet, but we found plenty to talk about anyways. Oh yeah, the guy who played the Desk Sergeant in Robocop is in this, so that's pretty cool.
