The B-Movie Boys Podcast

This week, The B-Movie Boys crank the Resonator to unsafe levels with From Beyond , Stuart Gordon ’s gloriously goo-soaked adaptation of an H.P. Lovecraft short story that somehow turns seven pages into ninety minutes of body horror, neon lighting, and aggressively bad decisions. We break down the movie’s wettest moments, debate whether a giant science switch is more satisfying than a demolition p...

This week, The B-Movie Boys stumble into the wonderfully weird world of The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra , a movie that asks a very important question: what if someone lovingly recreated every 1950s sci-fi B-movie trope they could think of and then crammed them all into the same film? The result is a glorious collision of mad scientists, telepathic skeletons, stranded aliens, radioactive space rocks,...

This week, The B-Movie Boys crack open Basket Case (1982), Frank Henenlotter’s gloriously sleazy tale of a man, his wicker basket, and the deformed telepathic twin brother living inside it. What starts as a grimy revenge story set in the worst hotel New York City has ever produced quickly mutates into something way stranger, funnier, and honestly kind of brilliant. We dive deep into the movie’s le...

The B-Movie Boys head back to the atomic age this week with The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms , a movie that basically looked at giant monster cinema and said, “Yeah, I think I’ll invent an entire genre today.” What starts as a straightforward 1950s creature feature quickly turns into a deep dive on filmmaking innovation, nuclear panic, stop-motion wizardry, and the absolute madness of making a dinosa...

This week, The B-Movie Boys step into the larger-than-life world of Dolemite (1975), a movie that somehow manages to be a scrappy, low-budget chaos machine and a legitimate cultural landmark at the exact same time. What starts as a seemingly straightforward revenge story about a wrongfully imprisoned pimp quickly spirals into a whirlwind of crooked cops, rival gangsters, questionable kung fu, and...

There are movies that ask “what if?” … and then there’s what if we found a mysterious white goo bubbling out of the earth and immediately devoured the forbidden Cool Whip? That’s the energy of The Stuff , and we are all in on this deliciously unhinged ride. What starts as a simple “hey, don’t eat that” quickly spirals into a full-blown corporate satire with killer yogurt, brainwashed families, and...

This week, The B-Movie Boys dive into The Giant Claw , a movie that feels like it was engineered in a lab specifically to break the Schlockometer. Dave calls it a “doozy,” and honestly, he might be underselling it. What starts as a fairly straight-laced 1950s sci-fi quickly turns into something far weirder, funnier, and way more memorable with the introduction of a battleship-sized bird monster th...

This week, The B-Movie Boys enter a completely different dimension of cinema with Kung Pow! Enter the Fist , a movie that isn’t just bad on purpose… it’s surgically, lovingly, absurdly bad on purpose. Steve Oedekerk takes a 1970s kung fu movie, splices himself into it like a cinematic parasite, and somehow creates one of the most joke-dense, commitment-heavy fever dreams ever put to screen. We bre...

This week, The B-Movie Boys dive headfirst into the glitter-soaked gutter with Pink Flamingos , directed by the one and only John Waters and starring the incomparable Divine . Set in beautiful, trashy Baltimore, the film follows Divine and her family as they defend their title as “The Filthiest People Alive” against a pair of jealous perverts who think they can out-gross the reigning queen. What u...

This week, the B-Movie Boys travel to Eternia… and then immediately right back to suburban America… to break down the 1987 fantasy adaptation Masters of the Universe . Dolph Lundgren is He-Man . Frank Langella is Skeletor . Courtney Cox finds a synthesizer that may or may not control the universe. There are laser guns, foam rocks, multiple rubber-suit henchmen, and a villain performance that goes...

In this episode, The B-Movie Boys confront one of the strangest films ever committed to VHS: Death Bed: The Bed That Eats (1977). Born from demonic heartbreak and powered by bubbling acid fluids, this sentient piece of furniture spends 77 agonizing minutes quietly consuming anyone foolish enough to take a nap. We unpack the movie’s baffling lore, glacial pacing, and surprisingly earnest ambition,...

In our first full episode, The B-Movie Boys take on Birdemic: Shock and Terror , one of the most infamous eco-horror disasters ever committed to digital video. We break down James Nguyen’s Hitchcock-inspired nightmare, from its baffling performances and green-screen birds to its earnest environmental message and jaw-dropping technical choices. Using the Schlockometer, we examine where Birdemic fai...

Alright folks, get ready to dive into the glorious mess that is B movies with us, the B Movie Boys! This time, we're laying down our totally arbitrary Schlockometer to rate the best of the worst flicks out there. Yeah, we’re talking about the kind of movies that are so bad, they’re actually kinda good. We’ll break down categories like entertainment value and technical incompetence, because let’s f...
