After two episodes of 64 movies fighting their way to the next round, we come to the finale of GBW 250 as the list just keeps getting shorter and shorter on the way to the film we crown the "last movie standing".

Will your favourites from round one continue to move forwards or will we continue to make some left-field decisions and betray our own choices? Will there truly be more tears shed over our beloved choices getting the axe?

Tune in to find out how the battle royale plays out and, afterwards, we let you know what our alternative picks were and talk a little bit about them as well.

Episode 250: Movie Battle Royale (Part 2)

Mon, 18 Aug 2025 00:00:00 -0700

Here it comes!

Part two of our three part celebration of episode 250 of GBW that continues and finishes off the first round of our 64 film "Movie Battle Royale".

There's been a lot of surprises and a little heartbreak in the first half and there promises to be even more of this as our next 32 randomly paired films battle it out to move into the next round.

Could this get more stressful for our hosts? Probably. Are you maybe playing along and guessing what we're going to pick? Hopefully. Did we have a blast? Damn straight.

Episode 250: Movie Battle Royale (Part 1)

Mon, 11 Aug 2025 18:00:00 -0700

It's here and it's massive!

To celebrate the 250th episode of GBW we've brought back past guest Vince D'Amato to join us on a quest to decide who the ultimate winner will be from a bracket of 64 movies.

We've all made our choices and now they will battle it out through an elimination bracket. Along the way we have upsets, surprises, arguments, introspective conversations and a lot of laughs.

What will win? Will it be one of YOUR favourites? Will you be upset when certain movies are taken out? All of these questions (and more) will be answered in this epic three part anniversary episode!

Episode 249: Marry A Monkey

Sat, 19 Jul 2025 21:00:00 -0700

Episode 248: Lawyer Werewolf

Fri, 27 Jun 2025 00:00:00 -0700

When your lawyer is a werewolf are you guaranteed to win because they'll just eat their opponent? Does this have anything to do with the twelve movies here? Not really.

Episode 247: Theme Scene!

Fri, 06 Jun 2025 15:00:00 -0700

Somehow amongst the 19 movies we cover this episode we came up with four distinct themes. None of them intentional.

This time we talk recent theatrical release FRIENDSHIP, check out a revenge filled sequel that surpasses the original, watch a giant ape menace London, get down with the dream pairing of Charles Bronson and Lee Marvin, learn all about an ancient idol that makes you horny(?), see a "ripped from the headlines" TV movie that's so very 90's and so much more!

Episode 246: Narration!

Fri, 23 May 2025 00:00:00 -0700

"The boys of GBW prepared themselves to talk about seventeen movies. It was going to be something special. It was going to be epic."

This episode's films contain way more narration than expected but we also take a look at recent theatrical releases FINAL DESTINATION: BLOODLINES and SINNERS, put up with some bad stand-up comedy, get all "buddy cop" French style, check out an early 70's baseball drama, have vigilante action where Josh wished harm on the vigilante, have more proof why Chris dislikes found footage, see Jackie Chan dish our martial arts as well as tasty food, and so much more!

Episode 244: You Made It Weird

Fri, 11 Apr 2025 12:00:00 -0700

Amongst the fourteen flicks covered this time we get Lee Marvin teaching the way of the outlaw, a DVD box tricks us (this has never happened before), an 80's slasher under "slashes", a sea monster reeks havoc, Hollywood is torn down by one of our true visionary directors, Brendan Fraser is back again to take on the undead, we learn what can happen if you don't feel pain and so much more!

Episode 243: High Concept's All We Got

Fri, 28 Mar 2025 19:00:00 -0700

This episode of GBW has multiple examples of when a movie has a pretty cool concept but doesn't do nearly enough with it.

Aside for that, these sixteen films run a gamut from rip-off 80's sci-fi, a 30-something cop going undercover in high school, one of the most miscast espionage thrillers ever, an odd choice for a disaster movie, a Lifetime movie with more grit than expected, two pals caught up in a crime scheme, the oddest Mill Creek entry yet and so much more!

Episode 240: Stunt Casting

Fri, 24 Jan 2025 00:00:00 -0800

Stunt casting is nothing new and a handful of the movies on this episode of GBW completely fall victim to this.

We cover 16 more films of varying quality that include recent Oscar nominated A REAL PAIN, Yul Brynner being a bad-ass (as usual), a town falling victim to its worst impulses, a goofy slasher flick for the "bros", two sci-fi action adventures with differing results, SOV vampires, some bats that REALLY hate humans, an early Viggo Mortensen film that's truly one-of-a-kind and so much more!

Fri, 06 Dec 2024 16:00:00 -0800

We have 15 films this time including Paul Newman showing his pool playing skills, the two Corey's and a femme fatale, two possession movies that don't live up to their potential, an epic snowball fight, a movie the reflects how painful early 2000's Hollywood movies truly were and so much more!

Fri, 08 Nov 2024 00:00:00 -0800

Episode 226: No Doberman

Fri, 26 Apr 2024 17:00:00 -0700

What happened to dobermans? How stupid can a horror movie premise get? These and more questions get asked, and somewhat answered, when we talk about the sixteen movies we watched.

This time we get a deep feeling of discomfort, a janitor teaches a high schooler how to kick ass, Rock Hudson is the most messed-up scientist (maybe) ever, Stanley Kubrick does noir, the mafia gets a comedic elbow in the ribs, we come-of-age in a small Canadian town and so much more!

Episode 225: Also Known As

Fri, 12 Apr 2024 00:00:00 -0700

Some movies get released until different titles and trick us, so colour us surprised when two of the sixteen covered this time pull the good old "bait & switch".

This time we flee from killer cats, discover even Steven Spielberg can flop badly, crack safes with Burt, learn way too much information about starving to death, get annoyed at Melanie Griffith, talk about a Troma movie people just DON'T talk about and so much more!

Sixteen movies are covered on this episode but first we share our thoughts on the 2024 Oscars: the good, the not so good and any surprises.

Fri, 16 Feb 2024 00:00:00 -0800

We've got another batch of twenty movies that crossed our eyeballs since the last time we spoke and, as usual, it's an eccentric batch.

Fri, 02 Feb 2024 00:00:00 -0800

There's a whole lot of 2023 on hand as we discuss Yorgos Lanthimos' POOR THINGS, get "Gojira" with it in GODZILLA MINUS ONE (and more recent releases) but we also stick to our usual diet of oddities, revisits and movies you probably won't hear about on other podcasts.

These include three films involving high schools, a rampaging giant ape, Lee Van Cleef phoning it in, the legit classic BEN HUR, Pam Grier taking pictures everyone wants, Robert De Niro being a jerk to Liza Minelli, a fake reality show that involves murdering contestants, a classic Arabian adventure and so much more!

Fri, 20 Oct 2023 07:00:00 -0700

It's still October and we here at GBW are continuing our commitment to watch more horror movies than usual. This has both its upsides and definitely its downsides. Which you will learn all about.

Santiago bringing the ladies of the night, we inadvertently both visited the PET SEMATARY universe, Josh finally learns just what the cranberry sauce is all about, JCVD returns to prison, educational films prove to be morally corrupt and so much more!

Wed, 24 May 2023 14:00:00 -0700

We've taken a break and now we are back with eighteen new movies that both make us happy to be film fans but also make us question the same thing.

Maybe if we took a cue from one of our furry friends and snorted a bunch of power, some of the lesser films of the 18 we cover this time out might have turned out better.

This time out Josh headed to the theatre to check out COCAINE BEAR, the dream team of JCVD and Sho Kosugi disappoints, Susan Anton gets ready for the Olympics, we look at Oscar nominee TRIANGLE OF SADNESS, a duo of assassins arrive both with different agendas, Ryan Reynolds and friends are forced to plan a heist, listener recommend THE DON IS DEAD delivers and so much more!

Can you believe it? We're 200!

To celebrate this occasion we've brought in a special guest: Uwe Boll. That's right, the legendary (in more ways than one) director sat down with us to discuss his return to filmmaking with the police thriller First Shift, educated us on how he independently made over thirty films, speaks on his favourite gangster movies, told us about a meeting with Jean-Claude Van Damme and more from the good doctor.

After our interview stick around as we talk about ten films we watched since last time including Rutger Hauer delivering the goods yet again as a villain, Chris looking at last year's horror hit SMILE, Tom Selleck vs. Gene Simmons and his robots, a plane crash with consequences, a group of old folks with a malicious streak and other celluloid distractions!

Episode 198: Smackdowns & Cheap Thrills

Fri, 20 Jan 2023 15:00:00 -0800

There is definitely nothing even close to a theme in the twenty films we're talking about this episode but there's some pleasant surprises, we still wonder who actually likes Count Yorga and there is one moment of pure hatred.

Things are kicked off right with a DIE HARD clone that's pretty rad, we look at Steve McQueen's final film, Damien Chazelle brings the Hollywood excess in BABYLON, there's some giant animals on the loose, a Nazi zombie causes havoc, we look at how mental health was handled in the 1940's, another 70's TV movie doesn't live up to expectations, Maxwell Smart gets "nude" and so much more!

Thu, 12 May 2022 21:00:00 -0700

Somehow between the two of us we managed to watch six documentaries, hence this episode's title. We watched real life stories about a wrestler, record stores, a Canadian rock band and the world's deadliest amusement park.

Fri, 22 Apr 2022 12:00:00 -0700

Hey! It's 2022! Here's our first episode of this new year and it's quite a mixed batch of films (almost twenty, in fact) which is why this show's title makes no sense out-of-context.

Wed, 29 Dec 2021 10:00:00 -0800

Mon, 30 Aug 2021 18:00:00 -0700

Mon, 19 Jul 2021 21:00:00 -0700

After three weeks we've returned with a brand new, piping hot batch of movies to tell you all about! To call a good portion of the 20 movies we're talking about "bizarre" would be an understatement (hence the title).

For some reason we both decided to watch SLAUGHTERHOUSE ROCK and it's a rollercoaster of quality from there as we re-watched a couple of horror sequels, Hannah-Barbara attempt to make Kiss into movie stars, Bert I. Gordon brings a surprising amount of sleaze in THE POLICE CONNECTION, we have a directionally challenged disaster flick, Bob Odenkirk kicks all sorts of ass in NOBODY, Josh sees what might possibly be the worst film in the history of the podcast and so much more!

It's another COVID edition of GBW and since we last gathered (on Zoom) to blab about films we viewed 19 more titles with a bunch of them oddly leaning towards evil cults and spoiled rich assholes.

This time out Chris gets FREAKY, we discuss the merits of 80's Eric Roberts, there's a rescue mission that isn't really a rescue mission(?), Josh checks out a duo of lush black & white horror films, we get nostalgic for 80's horror, Liam Neeson continues on his geri-action path, Josh learns about EVILS OF THE NIGHT and so much more!

Episode 159: The Podcast In The Plastic Bubble

Mon, 03 May 2021 23:00:00 -0700

We're back with another 23 movie platters to tell you all about and while a lot of it turned out to be mostly mediocre this time, there are some hidden treasures amongst all the chaff.

In a completely unplanned way we cover two rock documentaries, three sequels and a whole slew of lesser-known titles. Josh completes his Universal Monsters project, Chris is creeped out by Carl Weathers minus a moustache, we lament the horror genre of the 90's, George C. Scott robs a bank, we tell you to DON'T PANIC, we see two sides of Mia Farrow, there's beach genies, John Travolta in an uncomfortable situation and so much more!

Episode 158: The Horror Of Grease & Geri-Action

Mon, 19 Apr 2021 16:00:00 -0700

Is seventeen a lucky number? Probably not. However, that's the number of films we've watched since last episode and not only do we share with you some amazing jokes, we also have coined a new phrase!

To start we both checked out the recent Vinegar Syndrome release, PANDEMONIUM, and it's varying quality from there with trips to Italian crime film, a rock 'n' roll killer with a guitar drill (I can't make this stuff up!), a look at two newer Netflix releases, a movie containing a whole lot of grease and penis, Chris checks out Oscar nominated NOMADLAND, Josh gets one step closer to finishing his Universal Monsters journey and so much more!

Fri, 09 Apr 2021 16:00:00 -0700

Twenty-two films crossed our eyeballs since last episode and, as usual, it's a wacky batch of fare including more sequels, slashers and even hang gliding(?!).

This time we have a duo of slasher movies of differing quality, a lesser-known William Friedkin film, an odd choice by Brian De Palma to do comedy, Josh continuing both his Omen and Ip Man franchise journeys, Chris crosses two more classics from his "never seen" list, Bruno Mattei makes us question our blu-ray buying habits and so much more!

Mon, 22 Mar 2021 18:00:00 -0700

Mon, 08 Mar 2021 21:00:00 -0800

We're back! And we've watched 19 movies since the last time we talked including a few discoveries, high recommendations and stone cold trash.

Kicking things off with our mutual viewing of the recent Vinegar Syndrome blu-ray of the 1984 slasher, SILENT MADNESS, this episode also contains Russell Crowe losing his mind, Damien returning a little older and a little more evil, a movie that promises challenges (but lies), a "music war", more Universal Monsters mayhem, a 70's western that strives for something different, some lesbian vampires and so much more!

Episode 154: The One With The Body Functions

Wed, 24 Feb 2021 19:00:00 -0800

This time out your hosts are talking about the 24 movies (+ TV shows) that crossed their path since our last episode and it's a mixed bag of cinema - and too much talk of bodily fluids!

We get the triumphant return of Robert Logan to the show, a duo of truly oddball films starring musicians (one of which doesn't even sing!), a love letter makes its rounds as it only could in an 80's teen comedy, Charles Bronson invades both coasts (and is bad-ass doing so), Chris watches a film he thinks truly defines the term "cult movie", we gush over a recent Vinegar Syndrome blu-ray release, Josh revisits 1976's THE OMEN and so much more!

NOTE: There are some some sound glitches and background noise this episode. We did our best to make them less noticeable.

Mon, 08 Feb 2021 17:00:00 -0800

Hey! We're back with another large batch of films that made their way onto our screens between episodes. Twenty of them, in fact.

We kick-off talking about an early 80's slasher we both watched and from there it's a mix of urban teens vs. drug dealer, an obscure (and depressing) movie from the director of REVENGE OF THE NERDS, some controversial proclamations about a Lucio Fulci film, crazy Indonesian horror, an Abel Ferrarra documentary, a biker film from Wiliam Grefe (director of GBW favourite, STANLEY) and so much more!

Episode 152: The Giallo Zombie Virgin Party!

Mon, 25 Jan 2021 19:00:00 -0800

Nineteen films crossed our path since the last installment of GBW and it was such a weird mix that we decided the title of the episode should reflect that.

There's a pair of "friends going away for the weekend to get laid" 80's comedies, two separate movies with the title PANIC (we totally didn't plan this!), some lesser-known giallo courtesy of Vinegar Syndrome, a couple of horror sequels from Ridley Scott and George A. Romero, giant CG spider mayhem, Chris adoring BEASTIE BOYS STORY, Josh equally loving 13 ASSASSINS and so much more!

Mon, 11 Jan 2021 21:00:00 -0800

We checked out James Brolin vs. Dobermans, a flute-playing bounty hunter, Josh gives Adrian Lyne another chance with JACOB'S LADDER, an insane action movie from Lamberto Bava, Chris checked out THE VAST OF NIGHT, we have our expectations both exceeded and crapped on, Vinegar Syndrome delivers the goods with THE BEASTMASTER and so much more!

Mon, 28 Dec 2020 20:00:00 -0800

Because of COVID we aren't able to celebrate our 150th episode with as much fanfare as we'd of liked but we did solicit a couple of listener reviews that we're excited to share with you. There's also another seventeen films to sink your teeth into on the latest episode of GBW!

This time we have a double shot of the works of Antonio Margheritti, Chris takes a look at 2020's PALM SPRINGS as well as the bizarro BACURAU, we say Candyman's name five more times, Josh rants about director Adrian Lyne, Megan Fox battles a horrible looking CG lion, Barbara Steele takes on another dual role, Jamie Lee Curtis gets stuck in a love triangle and so much more!

Episode 149: Dario, Mario & The Rest Of The Gang

Tue, 15 Dec 2020 19:00:00 -0800

Since COVID doesn't look to be going away anytime soon we continue to watch way too many movies in between episodes. This time it's 22 films that run the gamut from proclamations of "rad" to the exact opposite of "bad".

Three Italian genre pros share the spotlight (Argento, Bava and Deodato), Cheech Marin attempts to get back home to East L.A., Josh's curiosity about Glenn Danzig's VEROTIKA gets the best of him, we get a duo of documentaries about grindhouses and cassette tapes, 2020's PORNO fares worse than expected, David Hess proves to be a better actor than director and so much more!

Episode 148: Obscurities, Anthologies & Dirtbikes

Mon, 30 Nov 2020 20:00:00 -0800

This COVID edition of GBW offers you another 23 films that crossed our eyeballs and to say they were of varying quality would be an understatement.

This time we're talking three horror anthology flicks, a duo of "hang out" style sex comedies, the craziness of DEATH ROW GAMESHOW, Christian Slater giving one of his most iconic performances in PUMP UP THE VOLUME, yet more proof Chris can't stop himself from buying a movie if its cheap enough (even if he hated it on a prior viewing), some James Bond hijinks, dirt biking action, the ultra obscure 80's French crime movie BRIGADE OF DEATH and so much more!

If you can believe it we tackle 25 (?!) films for this episode of GBW making it one of the longest episodes in the show's history. Prepare thyself!

This time out we talk about a trio of horor classics (CREEPSHOW, POLTERGEIST and FRIDAY THE 13TH), some Euro horror that's both horny and gory, ass-kicking courtesy of both Scott Adkins and Iko Uwais, a handful of sequels, proof that Chris has learnt nothing about being tempted by a movie's title, lesser known Sean Connery with THE OFFENCE, and so much more!

We know you've been waiting for us to finish talking about the I Know What You Did Last Summer franchise, and we do, but that's not all you're going to get out of the latest COVID edition of GBW. We even talk about good movies - we promise!

On the agenda this time is an Animal House rip-off that is so tasteless it must be seen to be believed, Penelope Spheeris gives us a glimpse at the lives of punker teenagers in SUBURBIA, we talk about a duo of slasher flicks one a legitimate classic (the other legitimately bizarre), William Friedkin's SORCERER impresses big-time, Chris checks out the surprise sequel to BORAT, Josh gets his motorbiking ridiculousness on with TORQUE, we jam out to the theme song of 1986's TERRORVISION and so much more!

Wed, 14 Oct 2020 18:00:00 -0700

The GBW "COVID edition" continues rolling along and this time it's such a wacky mix of movies we're talking about even we have no idea what compelled us to watch them all!

This time out we continue our dives into the Universal monsters and Hammer box sets, take a look at a quartet of 2020 films including ALONE and THE STYLIST, we get some messed-up industrial body horror from Japan, a duo of outrageous SOV courtesy of Severin Films, Earth Wind & Fire and Harvey Keitel starring in the same film, Josh offering up what may be a controversial opinion of 2008's THE STRANGERS and much more!

Wondering what our topic name refers to? You'll have to listen to find out!

We're back with another "COVID edition" of GBW where we talk all about the films we've been watching. We start off with an American shot 80's Italian slasher and don't look back from there. This time up you get a hearty helping of TV thrillers, a lesser known 80's attempt at bringing us a new action hero that failed, more slasher movie shenanigans, discussion on two bonafide classics, Josh continuing his dives into the Universal monsters and 200 movie Mill Creek box sets, body switching of varying degrees, we "Set the Night on Fire" and much more!

Tue, 15 Sep 2020 13:00:00 -0700

We make our return to topics as this episode we've both chosen our five favourite horror-themed television series. Just what will we pick? Will it all be the obvious choices or will there be surprises? Are there some debatable picks? You bet your ass there are!

First up, as usual, we start by talking about what we've been watching since last episode and this time it's puppet sex, a look at Charlie Kaufman's latest I'M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS, a 80's slasher movie with the best tagline but not best quality, some mediocre bank robbery courtesy of Kim Basinger, more Universal monsters mayhem, a duo of 1985 sex comedies, our take on the highly unrrated/unknown THE TODD KILLINGS and much more!

Mon, 17 Aug 2020 12:00:00 -0700

While not quite on the voyeurism level of one of the featured movies this time out, we here at GBW continue to watch way more films than it is sane to do so meaning that you should get ready for another marathon.

Apart from the aforementioned, BODY DOUBLE, we've got quite a mix for you this time with an early Joe Dante effort, a comedy that leaves us perplexed about Dudley Moore's popularity in the 80's, a dive back into classic Universal horror as well as the start of a Hammer Films journey, a look at the new Artsploitation release DEAD DICKS, some Bronson, Michael Keaton getting all domesticated, crazy Indonesian martial arts, Spanish horror effort THE PLATFORM and much more!

Continuing our heavy movie watching diets during this global pandemic on this outing of GBW we're talking about sixteen different films including a pair we both watched and (surprisingly) had the same opinion on.

We're also getting down with animal attacks, 80's computer romance, more of Josh's look at the 200 film Mill Creek set, a Pierce Brosnan movie you've probably never heard of (and shouldn't want to), a couple of third entries in series involving goth-y body mods and prison brawling, one of only two existing bike courier movies, an ill-advised remake, a look at the recent Shudder addition THE POOL and much more!

Prepare yourselves for a movie review marathon as we talk about twenty-two different films spanning all sorts of genre, quality levels, decades and formats!

We kick things off with the 1975 TV movie SWEET HOSTAGE and don't look back from there with multiple trips to various Warner Archive releases, a punk rock documentary, a pair of 80's comedies of varying quality, Josh taking a trip to FANTASY ISLAND, Al Pacino doing some CRUISING, a buddy cop comedy that never made it past VHS, Josh continuing his journey through the 200 film Mill Creek box set, a 1982 "Say No To Drugs" TV movie that doesn't fail to entertain and much more!

Sun, 05 Jul 2020 23:00:00 -0700

It's pretty impossible to even try and figure out just what our viewing habits were this episode because they were all over the damn place!

This time we're talking sixteen films that pretty much cover all the bases. There's the classic psychological horror of DON'T LOOK NOW, an early Chuck Norris film that does nothing but disappoint, John Wayne fighting fires, vampires that love to party, a mobster comedy from the director of Revenge of the Nerds, a super obscure 80's movie that's trying too hard to be a David Lynch film, Uwe Boll, Richard Pryor getting filthy rich and much more!

Fri, 19 Jun 2020 19:00:00 -0700

What happens when we both watch movies involving killer tarantulas, whales and snakes in the same episode? Awesomeness, that's what!

It's sixteen movies that crossed our eyeballs since last episode as we both finish our respective treks through the BEST OF THE BEST and DEATH RACE franchises, Martin Sheen being a creep with a thing for underage girls, more classic Universal monsters, a cast of b-movie vets kicking-ass in VFW, Stacy Keach in a 70's British crime flick, a Sam Elliott movie with a deceiving title, Bo Derek being molested by a chimp and much more!

This time out we both report on the third entries in the DEATH RACE and BEST OF THE BEST series, Josh talks about a 70's crime effort starring the great Yaphet Kotto, we get "extreme" with an early Josh Brolin flick, Lucio Fulci makes a giallo, Ray Milland gets X-ray vision, there's some ineffectual zombies, WE SUMMON THE DARKNESS and so much more!

Tue, 19 May 2020 20:00:00 -0700

We've really taken a deep dive into the annals of b-movies and obscure 70's cinema for the latest episode as we have a duo of 70's crime films, two 60's horror films that would definitely be on a cheapo double bill and a S.E. Hinton adaptation NOBODY talks about.

That's not nearly all though as we hit up a bunch of sequels including part two of the DEATH RACE and BEST OF THE BEST series, the French import GET IN, the messed up Australian true crime film HOUNDS OF LOVE, Josh continuing his journey into classic Universal horror, an unfortunate return to the land of Cheech & Chong, Harrison Ford both as a hero and an asshole, the surprisingly rad THE HEAD HUNTER and more!

However, that's just one of the many things we come up against in the latest episode of GBW as we continue our pandemic viewing ways with Josh finishing up the STREET FIGHTER series, a duo of music based films with entirely different game plans, Mike Flanagan's latest DOCTOR SLEEP, a nostalgic trip to 70's Hollywood, wall-to-wall nudity (with a bit of body morphing thrown in), a listener recommendation that takes us to prison and much more!

This time out it's an eclectic mix of titles as Josh continues his Sonny Chiba STREET FIGHTER journey, Chris revisits a couple of movies he enjoyed during childhood with decidedly less enthusiastic results, Tommy Lee Jones proclaims THE PARK IS MINE, we get a double header of 2019 zombie horror comedies, Tom Savini gets the love he deserves, we tell Skeet Ulrich and Cuba Gooding, Jr. to "chill" and much more!

Mon, 06 Apr 2020 20:00:00 -0700

These are strange times, people. We've got a global situation going on. We've been forced to spend all of our time indoors with only the occasional trip to the grocery store - unless you still have to work. Things have changed in so many ways. But we still have movies.

For our first ever "recorded on Skype" episode we talk about all the films that have been keeping us occupied and distracted during these stressful past couple of weeks and it's quite a mixed bag that includes Sonny Chiba's THE STREET FIGHTER, a duo of dance themed films that both turn out to be better than expected, some buff beach bodies (and the 'Hoff!), an 80's surfing movie from the director of TUFF TURF, Mindy Clarke showing off a truly 'killer' body part, Eric Roberts trying to prove just who is THE BEST OF THE BEST and more!

Episode 131: Let's Get Laid!

Fri, 13 Mar 2020 21:00:00 -0700

Ahh, high school. Something a lot of people look back upon fondly while some of us remember the frustration that was the opposite sex.

For this episode we've decided to get "laid" as we're listing our favourite teen sex comedies that we think you should check out. It's a mixed bag as we veer from raunchy T&A, teen romance, nerdy guys out to lose their virginity and many more tales of high school irresponsibility.

First up we're talking about what we watched as we compare both PET SEMATARY films, check out Synapse's new blu-ray of HOT DOG... THE MOVIE, give Elvira's first film a spin, Josh discovers the hell that is MMA sponsored cinema, Chris talks Leigh Whannell's THE INVISIBLE MAN, Australia delivers a punk rock cyborg flick and much more!

Episode 130: 90's-NOW Sitcoms

Fri, 28 Feb 2020 12:00:00 -0800

Remember all those episodes ago when we covered our favourite 70's and 80's sitcoms? Yeah, neither do we (it was so long ago!). However, due to a listener request and the fact we did promise a follow-up, we've decided to each pick our five top choices for comedy television shows spanning from 1990 to present day.

What kinds of picks will we have? Why is Chris seemingly obsessed with workplace or teen themed sitcoms? Why does Josh have an affinity for savoring his television shows like fine wine? For answers to this, and more, you'll just have to listen blah.

As always we begin by talking about what we've watched and it includes an unexpected duo of Italian "Poliziotteschi" films that both feature Ivan Rassimov, Josh checks out the 2019 version of PET SEMATARY, Laverne & Shirley's Cindy Williams going undercover as a hooker, the Shaw Brothers craziness of THE OILY MANIAC, a duo of teen themed TV movies that just don't deliver the goods, Josh discovers a top-notch 70's gangster film during his VHS adventure, a tangent about (among other things) Sears catalogs and so much more!

Episode 129: Future Passed

Fri, 14 Feb 2020 16:00:00 -0800

Inspired by the fact that 1982's Blade Runner was set in 2019 and it now officially the "past". We've decided to look at movies that were futuristic at the time of release and are now outdated. How accurate were they on predicting the future? How much technology is incorrect? Just why the Hell is there so much apocalyptic gangs?

First up we talk about what we've been watching as Josh finally finishes his awful HELLRAISER journey, we both watched Jesse "The Body" Ventura stink up the place in a low-budget Canadian sci-fi flick, Anthony Edwards and Lance Henriksen team-up to fight crime, Josh gets to PAINT IT BLACK, Chris gives his take on 1917 and so much more!

Episode 128: War, Revenge & Summer(?)

Fri, 31 Jan 2020 21:00:00 -0800

It's time for a round-up of fifteen films that, like the episode title says, focus on the act of revenge, the intensity of war and, um, summertime.

Josh gives his take on Oscar shoo-in 1917, Chris weighs in on most nominated Oscar contender JOKER, Oliver Reed goes for sweet sweet busting out of jail revenge in SITTING TARGET, Chris takes trips to both camp and school, Josh somehow manages to watch three(!) sequels including the ninth HELLRAISER flick, we get a documentary on Satanism, a look a Jennifer Kent's lastest THE NIGHTINGALE and more!

Episode 127: Raising Hell & Other Problems

Fri, 17 Jan 2020 00:00:00 -0800

Episode 126: 2019 Recap

Wed, 01 Jan 2020 16:00:00 -0800

It's the end of a decade and for our first episode of 2020 we're doing our annual recap of the previous year. We both pick our five favourites of 2019, list some honourable mentions and tell you all the movies we're looking forward to in the coming twelve months.

Did any of your choices make our lists? Is Josh sure to choose something totally obscure? Will we have any of the same titles? Just how many genre films made the cut?

You'll have to tune in to find out but, first up, we'll fill you in on what we've been watching between episodes including a holiday themed horror musical, a couple of franchise entries that have us wondering what we're doing to ourselves, a bunch of 2019 films that just didn't make the cut, Josh has a PREMONITION, a documentary on one of horror's biggest icons, a trip to PRIVATE SCHOOL and much more!

Episode 125: Lethal Weapon Franchise

Fri, 13 Dec 2019 19:00:00 -0800

It's time for us to dive back into franchise territory and this time instead of Chuck, ninjas and robotic cops we've decided to tackle a series that was a surprise hit when it began in 1987 and only continued to be more and more popular. But does it deserve such mainstream love?

This is a question that needs an answer and we sat through all four films (in a compressed space of time) to try and figure out why this buddy cop series pairing Mel Gibson and Danny Glover with Richard Donner at the helm garnered such love. Along the way we complain about property damage, Joe Pesci, a tonal shift that's hard to handle and the fact that Gibson's Riggs is just a complete and utter jerk.

As usual we begin with what we've watching including our alternative take on Fred Durst's THE FANATIC, another visit to the Hellraiser universe, see Dennis Quaid go crazy coo-coo, (sort of) learn about Boogaloo Shrimp, get our KNIVES OUT and much more!

Episode 124: The Craven

Fri, 22 Nov 2019 17:00:00 -0800

After doing episodes on such favourites as John Carpenter, John Landis, Tom Savini, Tobe Hooper and others we realized that we were missing one of horror's luminaries: Wes Craven.

From his early beginnings working with Sean S. Cunningham, his days in the XXX film industry, his reinvention of the horror landscape not once but twice, directing Meryl Streep to an Oscar nomination, and everything in-between we take a look at the man and his films going over our favourites and why we feel his movies deserve to stand the test of time. Sure, they weren't all zingers but you can't deny how important his career would be for the genre.

As always we begin by talking about what we've been watching which includes a teenage girl's obsession with a killer, an introduction to the doppelganger we call Robert Bronzi, a TV film with a serious message that still offers dated entertainment, WWE takes on slasher movies as Josh watched BOTH See No Evil entries, a look at this year's most divisive film JOJO RABBIT, the triumphant return of the Wilderness Family and so much more!

Episode 123: 70's Kids Flicks

Fri, 08 Nov 2019 00:00:00 -0800

Because we love delivering episodes that seem super weird coming from a podcast focused mostly on cult, horror and exploitation film we've decided to revisit our youth. Specifically our under ten years.

Being kids of the 70's/80's we grew up through a crazy time where a lot of the things considered children's entertainment would probably not fly these days - as witnessed by a few movies on our lists!

We've each picked five films we grew up on that made a lasting impact on us and it's quite an assortment with the expected Disney live-action fare, animals galore, kids being punished for wanting candy, athletic prowess and even alcoholism(?!).

First up we discuss what we have been watching between episodes as Josh tells us about his double feature of two classic zombie films, Chris continues to lament 2019 horror films, more sequels crossed our paths, Jamie Lee Curtis and John Travolta have some intense exercising, Chris takes a surreal trip to THE LIGHTHOUSE, and we both watched Bong Joon-Ho's latest, PARASITE. Plus more!

Episode 122: Halloween Party

Sat, 26 Oct 2019 05:00:00 -0700

All Hallow's Eve is nearly upon us and during this time of tricks, treats and ghouls in the night we've decided to each come up with a list of five movies that would make perfect viewing for any Halloween get together you and your friends might be planning.

Our only restrictions were that they had to be of the horror-comedy ilk and that they had to play well to a crowd. The results? A whole lot of zombies causing havoc, a late night TV hostess, an adaptation of a cartoon strip, a loving homage of 50's creature features and more.

To kick off we talk about the 19(!) films we've watched since last episode and seeing as this is a Halloween themed one it's mostly horror - but we weren't the best at picking the best quality horror - as Josh dives back into the HELLRAISER sequels, Chris headed to the theatre for two anniversary screenings, we cover a couple of anthology films with good credentials and much, much more!

Episode 121: Full Moon

Fri, 11 Oct 2019 17:00:00 -0700

Formed in 1988 from the ashes of Empire Pictures, Charles Band's FULL MOON has been delivering all sorts of b-movie madness in their thirty-plus year existence. It's a ride that includes killer puppets, demonic toys, freaks, shrunken heads, miniature humans and even evil bongs(?!).

We welcome back past guest, Vince D'Amato, to talk about what Full Moon means to us and have each chosen five of their releases we think you should check out if you want to know just what a Full Moon experience truly is.

First, as usual, we kick it off talking about what we've been watching including a few Netflix originals, a Japanese zombie movie with a difference, rampaging animals galore, one of the most bizarre early 80's big studio films ever, some time travelling murder, a four-boobed sorceress and so much more!

Episode 120: Mill Creek Entertainment

Fri, 27 Sep 2019 19:00:00 -0700

If you're looking to fatten up your physical media collection and/or are curious about the wild, wild world of cult and exploitation films, it's easy to fall in love with Mill Creek Entertainment. When they're not releasing multi-film sets or complete TV series, they are giving us blu-rays of various cult oddities.

This why we've decided to shine the light on this budget label with both of us each picking five of their releases we believe you should pick up to get an idea of just what Mill Creek is delivering to the movie obsessed masses.

First off, as usual, we're talking about what films have crossed our eyeballs since last time and it includes an obscure Raquel Welch western, an 80's teen gang movie with a killer soundtrack and odd James Spader performance, another modern horror film Chris falls again on the "un-popular" side, Mr. T and a wacky group of cabbies and so much more!

Episode 119: Wheneasyridermetwickermaninasatanicpanicatsleepawaycampwiththebadasses

Fri, 13 Sep 2019 20:00:00 -0700

We're back from hiatus and do we have a batch of films for you!

In the month we've been off we've taken a lot of trips to the theatre, watched some questionable entertainment and built up a lot of resentment towards Disney (warning: rant within).

We both doubled up on two bonafide classics about hitting the open road and pagan rituals, Chris lets you know if READY OR NOT is worth your time, Josh watches a western-lite with one of the best pairings in 70's cinema, there's a whole lot of mediocre horror going on, we RETURN TO SLEEPAWAY CAMP and so much more!

Tune in and spend an evening with us as we take you through our movie watching bad habits!

Episode 118: Twenty Years Ago [1999]

Fri, 09 Aug 2019 13:00:00 -0700

In the first of what we're planning to be an annual series we've decided to look back at movies that have crossed over from the "teens" to adulthood by turning twenty years old this year.

First up is the last year of the 90's. A year where Y2K freaked everyone out, Shakespeare in Love won Best Picture at the Oscars (and made us collectively groan) and many films helped kick off a new influx of copycats - here's looking at you, The Blair Witch Project.

For this episode we've both chosen five films from 1999 that we feel are worth seeking out and it contains many a black comedy, a couple of films by established directors that seem like odd choices and a decided influx of Kristen Dunst movies.

However, as always, we first talk about what we've been watching including ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD, Charles Bronson vs. a constantly naked killer, Karyn Kusama's DESTROYER, a bizarro effort from the director of the Sleepaway Camp sequels, Umberto Lenzi's ALMOST HUMAN and much, much more!

Episode 117: Alligators, Hitchers, Pinhead & Lifetime Movies

Sat, 27 Jul 2019 22:00:00 -0700

There ain't no cure for the summertime blues... except movies.

We've watched a whole slew of films in the last few weeks and want to tell you all about them as we tackle 18 movies as Josh checked out Alexandre Aja's CRAWL, a bear has a picnic with humans, a duo of slasher flicks of suspect quality, two vacations courtesy of National Lampoon, some Jess Franco nunspoloitation, an Albert Pyun action movie that looks like Die Hard but isn't, and Chris insisting on watching not one but three Lifetime movies involving pregnancy, abuse and psychosis. Plus more!

Episode 116: Horror Music Videos

Tue, 09 Jul 2019 23:00:00 -0700

For the last thirty-plus years we've been witness to many inventive, creative and groundbreaking music videos but now we here at GBW have decided that there can also be a disturbing and/or horrific side to them. Which is why we've each decided to pick our five favourite horror-related music videos. Covering various genres and with such things as murderous kids, doom-laden movie clips and dark industrial sounds these videos are ones we think do the genre proud.

However, you're not going to find Michael Jackson's "Thriller" on these lists because we both agree it's the G.O.A.T. and it wouldn't of been fair to all the other great videos out there.

But first we're talking about what we've been watching and it includes a return to the black metal realm, some top-notch found footage, an inventive 80's sci-fi flick, some more Jess Franco action, Lucio Fulci and much more!

Episode 115: Movies Are Our Drug

Fri, 28 Jun 2019 21:00:00 -0700

We're addicts just looking for that next fix. We want it all the time. We'd do almost anything to have it. It's a problem. We're talking about movies.

For this episode of GBW we're talking 16 films of varying quality including art deco horror revenge by way of Vincent Price, a couple of made-for-TV movies from the 70's that just don't deliver, Chris continuing to search for a truly great 2019 horror film, Josh heading to prison for one of his favourite discoveries of the year and lots lots more!

Episode 114: Arrow Video

Fri, 14 Jun 2019 19:00:00 -0700

Because "physical media is dead" (yeah, okay) we've decided to tackle another boutique label that's been delivering the goods since 2009 in the U.K. before coming over to the North American shores in 2014.

If the movie is off-beat, cult, horror or something you won't find outside of a Vinegar Syndrome release then chances are Arrow Video has put it out. From unleashing oodles of 80's slashers on the unsuspecting public, giving older Italian and Japanese cinema the kind of respect it deserves and giving us gloriously colourful Mario Bava blu-rays - Arrow has it all!

Because of this, we've each chosen five titles we think are essential to pick-up from one of our favourite labels on the go today.

As usual we kick things off with what we've been watching including Josh continuing his viewing of New York City set films to the tune of MIDNIGHT COWBOY, Chris gets pumped up about the most head shots he's ever seen in a movie, there's some disaster movie sequel goings-on, everyone loves John Candy, we get our GRUNT! THE WRESTLING MOVIE on, Chris finally thinks he's at the end of his CHILDREN OF THE CORN run and more!

Episode 113: WTF (Should We Call This Episode)

Fri, 31 May 2019 20:00:00 -0700

After a three week gap your co-hosts Chris and Josh have returned with a plethora of films they've watched in the in-between time. In fact, we've got 19 movies to talk about to deliver you three hours of talk about action, horror and... syphilis?

In preparation for his upcoming New York trip Josh gives TAXI DRIVER a re-visit, we gave each other "homework" with two films involving bank robbers and prison, Chris gets even closer to his goal of never having to watch a CHILDREN OF THE CORN sequel ever again, JOHN WICK delivers the goods not once but twice, Chris gets all BOOKSMART, we both have our issues with THE RANGER, we form a punk band all because of disease spreading teenagers and so much more!

Episode 112: Our Defining Years (1986)

Sun, 12 May 2019 18:00:00 -0700

As two guys who have loved movies for as long as we can remember we recently decided to try and pinpoint the exact moment that films went from being just something you would watch on television or go see with friends on the weekend to an outright obsession, What year made the biggest impact on us and threw us over the edge and what movies were involved in fueling this lifelong love of all things cinema?

For part two, your co-host Chris takes a look at the year that defined him: 1986. From viewing way more horror movies than a kid should during free movie channel weekends, to getting his first VCR, to discovering the joy of Melanie Griffith; this was truly a year filled with great films, killer creatures and a really dark basement.

We start off, as always, by talking about what we've been watching as we finally finish our Cheech & Chong journey (for now), Josh watches a bigfoot documentary that isn't, Chris has a "revelation", our man Cirio H. Santiago makes a triumphant return to the podcast, there's a kick-ass heist and much more!

Episode 111: Our Defining Years (1981)

Fri, 26 Apr 2019 20:00:00 -0700

As two guys who have loved movies for as long as we can remember we recently decided to try and pinpoint the exact moment that films went from being just something you would watch on television or go see with friends on the weekend to an outright obsession, What year made the biggest impact on us and threw us over the edge and what movies were involved in fueling this lifelong love of all things cinema?

For this, the first of two back-to-back episodes, your co-host Josh takes a look at the year that defined him: 1981. It was a year filled with adventure, swords 'n' sorcery, car races, Ray Harryhausen effects, werewolves, a psychotic Rutger Hauer and more!

We start off, as always, by talking about what we've been watching and it's quite a batch of flicks as we continue our Cheech & Chong torture, hit up a couple of slasher movies both new and old, mention the Purge not once but twice, Chris suffers through Isaac's return, zombies, raiding tombs, stealing bodies and so much more!

Episode 110: So Much Sports!

Fri, 12 Apr 2019 22:00:00 -0700

Why is that that even guys like us who don't follow it, watch it on TV, or participate in sports tend to love watching the endless amount of movies about them that have come out? Is it the second-hand adrenaline? The triumph of the underdog? Our attempts to seem macho by saying, "Dude, Friday Night Lights is rad!"? We'll never know.

However, what we do know is, we dig sports movies and we've both picked five of them that we think you should check out. We've got some washed-up athletes, body checks, swinging for the fences and even a Luc Besson film. Yeah, Luc Besson.

To kick it off we talk about what we've been watching including Josh's take on SHAZAM, yet another group of evil kids who love cornfields, a trip to the Matrix, Nicholas Cage being completely unhinged, Dolph Lundgren kicking demon ass, Antonio Banderas butt-biting and so much more!

Episode 109: TriStar Pictures

Thu, 28 Mar 2019 21:00:00 -0700

Because we like taking chances and have a desire to be more niche than we already are it's time, just like the last episode about Las Vegas, to try something new by focusing on a specific film company.

TriStar Pictures and their iconic flying pegasus logo has ushered us through many an entertaining movie and usually guaranteed fun genre-like movies with the slightest of Hollywood sheen on them. Which is why we're each picking our five favourite films to be released by the company. However, to get even MORE specific, we're only covering the first fifteen years of their existence from 1984-1999.

But first we're talking about what we've watched including Jordan Peele's latest US, Ernest Borgnine bringing the late 80's action, another visit to those murderous kids who love them some corn, Jess Franco tells us NIGHTMARES COME AT NIGHT, a documentary about one of the first kick-ass women in rock, the Crue dishing THE DIRT, and so much more!

Episode 108: Sin City

Thu, 14 Mar 2019 21:00:00 -0700

What better way to deal with both of us feeling ill when recording by talking about a place where the party never stops: Las Vegas! That's right, Sin City itself. Where the drinks are cheap, the gambling is plentiful, the strippers are crazy and the neon is bright.

To try something new we're taking on an entire city in film form by talking about what films either set in or that spends some time in the outrageous desert oasis that are worth checking out. We're talking De Niro, some Elvis impersonators with money on their minds, bachelor parties gone off-the-rails and much more! If this city is your thing, these movies will be as well.

We begin, as always, by talking about what we've watched and it's quite a batch as we get very upset at the antics of Cheech & Chong, marvel at Gasper Noe's latest CLIMAX, blast some Norwegian black metal, take a third trip to the corn fields, bring back the Ginty and a catchy as hell theme song, and so much more!

Episode 107: It's Scary!

Thu, 28 Feb 2019 21:00:00 -0800

At GBW we're big horror fans. In fact, it was horror that brought your hosts together in the first place all those years ago. It's only natural that when people find out you do a movie podcast, and that you've written many reviews, they want to know what the "scariest" horror films are.

Looking at this from the angle of a) we've seen so many genre films it's impossible to be scared and b) if we were someone not at all familiar with horror what would scare us, we've each come up with five movies that we feel would be guaranteed to deliver in that department.

First off we're talking about what we've watched including a couple of recent Oscar winners, a remake of a bona fide classic, a duo of late 80's films that are awesome examples of what to expect from genre movies of the time, a snake turned revenge seeking stalker, and much more! There's also a few tangents including one regarding inappropriate picture taking.

Episode 106: Life's A Beach

Thu, 07 Feb 2019 21:00:00 -0800

It's Winter and that means it's colder and everyone is all bundled up. Which is why here at GBW want to bring a little Summer to you early.

We love sex comedies, especially those of the 80's, so we've decided to each list our five favourites of the sub-genre that involve either the beach or a multitude of bikinis. There's your typical lingering shots of the female anatomy, bikinis being used to save businesses, a surprising amount of name actors taking part in the somewhat sexist shenanigans and even a slasher on the beach!

Before that we're talking the nineteen films we watched in between shows with slasher films of varying quality, questions about what has happened to James Cameron, Linda Blair trying to survive the night, some Dollarama specials, DMX getting "up in here, up in here" and so much more!

Episode 105: Topic? What Topic?

Tue, 22 Jan 2019 21:00:00 -0800

Seeing as we have 19 movies to talk about we decided that a topic was totally unnecessary this time out and have delivered an almost three-hour roundhouse kick to your ears of what we've watched since last episode. And what a batch it is!

We have two franchises both reaching their third (and final) installments, Vincent Price and Roger Corman re-teaming once more, some technology fueled vigilante action, a bizarre documentary about winning a car, a strange Steven Soderbergh "experiment", Chris proclaiming his love for a black & white/subtitled movie and not caring if those two facts turn you off, and so much more - obviously, it's a lot of freaking movies!

Episode 104: 2018 Recap

Fri, 04 Jan 2019 20:00:00 -0800

It's 2019 and we're kicking off the year as we usually do by doing our annual recap of the just finished previous year. We've both picked our five favourite films of 2018, listed the ones that didn't quite make the cut but are still worth seeking out, and tell you about what films we're looking forward to in the next twelve months - while hoping a few might actually make our best of lists next time.

What kind of films did we dig the most? Will we both have anything the same on our lists? Will there be any surprising choices? Did any of your favourites make it? You'll have to listen to find out.

As usual we kick-off by first talking about what we've been watching and this time it's some superheroes, a video game adaptation zero, a crazy girl who is obsessed with swimming, Paul Feig wrongly being compared to Hitchcock, a Tommy Chong "attempt" and a whole lot more!

Episode 103: Kurt & Burt

Fri, 14 Dec 2018 21:00:00 -0800

Kurt Russell. Burt Reynolds.

We here at GBW think these are the coolest actors to ever grace movie screens and have decided to dedicate an episode to them. From Kurt's beginnings in Disney films, to Snake Plissken and right to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 we talk all about one of the coolest cats around. But he has competition with the mighty Burt who is one hell of a shot with a bow and arrow, flexes his football skills and teams up with Hal Needham perhaps one time too many - we may also get upset about Boogie Nights.

First we talk about what we've been watching that includes a third visit to the Porky's franchise, Josh giving an unpopular opinion about a much liked Christmas horror film, we touch on the odd pairing of Wes Craven and Eddie Murphy and so much more!

Episode 102: Ketchup

Fri, 30 Nov 2018 23:00:00 -0800

It's time to KETCHUP (or "Catch Up", if you will) on what we've been watching.

Seeing as it has been a long-time since we last spoke about all the films we've been consuming in between episodes we decided this was the opportune time to discuss the 19(!!) movies that crossed our eyeballs since episode 100.

And what a mix it is as we get a duo of found footage, a punk rock documentary, some Argento by way of Arrow Video, Mr. Rogers, Josh gets a DEATH WISH (2), a slew of top notch 2018 films, and we discover the greatness that is Richard Barathy.

Episode 101: Richard Mogg - Analog Nightmares

Mon, 12 Nov 2018 22:00:00 -0800

If you were a horror geek like we were in the late 80's and early 90's chances are you discovered the glory of shot-on-video in your search for the latest, greatest scare flick. Something that your group of friends would rent on a Friday night and marvel at the low-budget shenanigans within. Movies that even you might be able to make in your own backyard.

That's why we've brought on filmmaker/writer Richard Mogg to talk all about his just released book, Analog Nightmares: The Shot on Video Films of 1982-1995, which covers over two-hundred(!) films as well as containing interviews with such SOV luminaries as Tim Ritter (Truth or Dare), Donald Farmer (Cannibal Hookers) and Ron Bonk (She Kills).

Episode 100: Top Ten All-Time (For Now)

Fri, 26 Oct 2018 21:00:00 -0700

It's time to celebrate! Four years ago when we started this podcast we had absolutely no clue what we were doing (DON'T listen to episode one) and were doing it to get on the 'bandwagon' as it were. Now it's 100 episodes later and we're still here, still talking way too much and too long about movies, and we're still friends.

We've delivered the goods with this 4+ hour show where we get the opportunity to talk about our favourite podcasting moments as well as deciding to have a little bit of fun and let you all know both of our all-time top ten films. The (For Now) being because some of these might not stay on our lists forever - but chances are most of them will. If you've listened to the show some may be blatantly obvious. However, maybe there will be some surprises also.

As usual we start by talking about what we've been watching including a brand new HALLOWEEN movie in 2018, Josh breaking the shrink wrap on a bunch of his Arrow and Scream Factory purchases, a ragtag group of baseball kids, a curse laden rant about a film starring the 80's "Brat Pack" and much more!

Episode 99: Movies In Movies

Fri, 12 Oct 2018 21:00:00 -0700

With all the talk of things being "meta" and breaking the fourth wall we decided to look at movies that contain, well, movies. We've compiled a list of films that involve actual filmmaking: a film-within-a-film as it were. With so much to chose from we mention some of the titles worth seeking out and it includes some Kevin Smith, Steve Buscemi and our man Burt. We also go on A LOT of tangents involving soap operas and bad Seinfeld impressions - don't say we didn't warn you!

As usual we start by talking about what we've been watching including a duo of disaster films, Panos Cosmato's Mandy, JJL proving yet again she's 'never bad', one of Chris' ultimate favourite 90's comedies, a depressing VHS adventure, and so much more!

Episode 98: It's A Disaster!

Thu, 20 Sep 2018 21:00:00 -0700

There's nothing we like here at GBW than a nice disaster. And because of this we've decided to list five of our favourite "disaster" movies. We're talking ensemble casts thrown into life threatening situations usually because of some form of tragedy - or, if you're Chris, you've decided to broaden the definition of just what a disaster movie is while Josh looks on incredulously.

As usual we start by talking about what we've been watching including The Predator, a Warriors/Mad Max inspired film starring Kate Bosworth, a duo of slasher films that just didn't do it for us, Richard Hatch busting some skulls 1989 style, and so much more!

Episode 97: Vinegar Syndrome

Wed, 12 Sep 2018 21:00:00 -0700

In a physical media world where boutique labels and collectors are becoming more and more prevalent we're willing to bet there's none quite as eccentric as Vinegar Syndrome.

For the past five years they've delivered cult, exploitation, blaxploitation, horror, XXX and many more obscure, and just plain bizarre, films that we never imagined would arrive on DVD and in HD on blu-ray. From an underrated slasher like Slaughterhouse, to the high class XXX of Blue Ice, Rudy Ray Moore films galore and even Clint Howard as a psychotic Ice Cream Man; Vinegar Syndrome titles always guarantee something different.

Besides, how could we not love a company willing to release one of our all time favourite cult films, Raw Force, on blu-ray?

First up we talk all about what we've been watching and it includes the recent theatrical release Searching, a duo of IFC Midnight releases, a little bit of Revenge, Christian Slater shredding it on a skateboard, Chris discovers two movies from 2017 he did not like at all, Josh gushes over genre film The Theta Girl and much more!

Episode 96: TV Party

Thu, 23 Aug 2018 21:00:00 -0700

Growing up through the 70's and 80's was a glorious time. We know they currently are proclaiming it "the golden age of TV" but we really beg to differ as, when we were kids, every single week on all three of the big networks we were able to tune in and see a brand new movie starring some of the most recognizable faces in current pop culture.

For this episode we've both picked five TV movies that we think you should definitely try to track down. We've got teenage hitchhikers, nuclear annihilation, high drama, killer bees, a reanimated scarecrow and so much more! Plus we may have ended up going on a few rants here and there.

Episode 95: Underrated 00's

Thu, 09 Aug 2018 21:00:00 -0700

Ready for a marathon? As with our previous three "UNDERRATED" episodes we've invited back filmmaker/distributor Vince D'Amato to discuss another decade as we pick ten films each we consider to be films that just don't get the kind of love they deserve.

There's certainly an eclectic mix this time out with Vince bringing the deep cuts, Chris delivering a list of more mainstream films nobody went to see in the theatres, and Josh letting his goth roots of the decade show and depressing us all (well, mostly).

Tune in and hear what ten movies each of us think you should go back and check out as we found them to be truly underrated.

Episode 94: Back In The Saddle

Thu, 26 Jul 2018 21:00:00 -0700

Seeing as it's Summer (and with Summer comes long vacations) we had a giant gap between us recording episodes giving us lots of time to watch movies - and watch them we did.

This time we're talking about 19(!!) films including a return of waterbeds, a sci-fi series that Josh thinks was unfairly treated, legendary director William Friedkin's new documentary The Devil & Father Amorth, a 60's trip to the beach, a film that proves just how rad the 'kumite" really is, a duo of Lifetime Network films, a continuing trip into the collaborations between Vincent Price and Roger Corman, and so much more!

Episode 93: Tough Guys!

Sun, 08 Jul 2018 21:00:00 -0700

Where have all the macho dudes gone? There was a time in film when the toughest of the tough could walk onto the screen, ooze cool, and take control of a room. Effortless. Cool. Bad ass. For this episode we've decided to talk all about our favourite tough guys. Actors who just ooze testosterone and make all other guys look like little girls.

As usual we start with what we've been watching and have a quite in-depth discussion about waterbeds, talk about the latest dinosaur rampage hitting theatres, a 70's trip into Satanism, and a whole heck of a lot more!

Episode 92: The Neutered Nineties

Thu, 21 Jun 2018 21:00:00 -0700

Is it possible that there's another decade of horror films that is more maligned than the 1990's? Probably not.

That's why for this episode of GBW we've decided to look back at the "Neutered Nineties" and have each come up with a list of five films from the decade we think you should definitely check out. It runs the gamut from demons, zombies, gory comedy, slicing and dicing, and a certain hook-handed killer. Plus a few that ended up just shy of making our lists.

As usual we start with what we've been watching where one of us gives you their take on Hereditary, we've scoured our Dollarama and cheap DVD's for things to dump off to the thrift store (with varying results), we get a double shot of Danny Glover, and the VHS adventure gets a little bit 80's New York sleazy. Plus much more!

Episode 91: Aquatic Killers

Thu, 07 Jun 2018 21:00:00 -0700

We're sticking to the wading pool for this one! For this GBW we've decided to each list five aquatic horror films that we think you should check out. Obviously, we know Jaws is the ultimate but, seeing as we did an episode on the series, that won't be here. Yes, some of these are also not exactly classics but what you'll get are sharks, tentacles, and even some toothy little bastards.

First and foremost, as we've been away for a bit so we have sixteen(!) films we've watched in the meantime including the glorious documentary King Cohen, a couple of horror films we probably would've been better off not bothering with, some more Elliott Gould 70's coolness, a teaming of Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi that couldn't have been much weirder, and a whole lot more!

Ready to pop 'n' lock? Want to yell 10-4 into the mic? Love some disco? Then you're going to dig this! For the latest GBW we've decided to each list five our of favourite fad movies. Films that cashed in on pop culture's whims before they completely lost interest in the topic.

We start off by talking about what we've been watching including a regional horror film we both (mostly) enjoyed, a horrible film based on a DC comics character, some shirtless swim team dudes and leeches, a documentary about producer Allan Carr, and so much more!

Episode 89: Jennifer Jason Leigh (Never Bad)

Thu, 26 Apr 2018 21:00:00 -0700

After proclaiming Jennifer Jason Leigh as being "NEVER BAD" on our underrated 90's episode we've now decided to dedicate an entire episode to one of our generation's finest, and somewhat underrated, actors. From her start in a slasher movie, the iconic role in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and her stealing the show in The Hateful Eight; JJL always delivers the goods!

As always we start by talking about what we've been watching including a pair of documentaries, some Billy Zane goodness, an obscure 80's sex comedy, a "new beginning" for Jason Vorhees, and so much more!

Ever seen a movie and either loved it or hated it only to come back to it a little bit later and have your opinion make a complete 360? It's happened to all of us and for this episode of GBW we've decided to each pick five films which we changed our minds on after watching it a second time. Or a REVISIT REVISION as it were.

As always start by talking about what we've been watching and it's a list of 17(!) films that range from multiple documentaries, a couple of "never seen before" films, some video game related viewing, and a heck of a lot more!

Episode 87: No Penetration

Thu, 22 Mar 2018 21:00:00 -0700

What happens when a star from the XXX world decides to try to cross over into the mainstream? What motivates them, how successful will they be doing so, and just how many bad b-movies can they star in? We've decided to talk about when "porn goes legit" and our memories of first seeing names like Ginger Lynn, Traci Lords, and Veronica Hart in the credits of movies we didn't have to sneak into a secret room in order to rent.

First we're talking about what we've watched including a sequel that's truly 'corny', some 70s crime by way of Walter Hill, a handful of questionable comedy choices, women bodybuilders that fascinate Josh, and much more!

Episode 86: Blue Underground

Thu, 08 Mar 2018 21:00:00 -0800

As huge supporters of physical media (just look at our insane collections for proof), we here at GBW are doing a series of episodes that spotlight some of the boutique labels that are releasing the kinds of films we love to purchase, watch, and talk about.

This time out we're talking Blue Underground. Headed by filmmaker William Lustig (Maniac, Vigilante), BU has been bringing us quality releases since 2003 and we've decided to each make top five lists of what we consider to be the essential titles you'll want to own. We've got Australian weirdness, mannequin love, zombies and even some mondo!

But first we talk about what we've been watching including Meryl Streep, a teen focused movie with a terrible title, Shannon Tweed, Patchwork, and much more!

Episode 85: The Ninja Trilogy

Thu, 22 Feb 2018 21:00:00 -0800

WARNING: This episode contains spoilers.

It's time to return to franchise territory as we're heading back to the early 1980's and a (not really) trilogy courtesy of one of our favourite 1980's companies Cannon Films. This time out we're looking at Enter the Ninja, Revenge of the Ninja and Ninja III: The Domination which are the main films responsible for bringing the Japanese art of Ninjutsu to the North American masses. It was also our first exposure to the ultra cool Sho Kosugi. These are three films that helped shape our love of those black clad, gadget wielding silent killers and all of the low brow action flicks from the duo of Golan-Globus.

As usual, we start with what we've been watching including a handful of low-budget horror with varying results, a comedy that had Chris questioning just what the Hell was going on in 1987, some homosexual bees(?), and much more!

Episode 84: The Hooper

Fri, 02 Feb 2018 21:00:00 -0800

We've gone overboard on this episode of GBW! Before we hit our topic we talk about 17 (17!!) different films including a movie that will make you yell "SHAKMA!", some superhero action, a Satanic babysitter, Casper Van Dien getting macho, an Oscar nominee, and much more!

After that we found it appropriate to shine the light on director Tobe Hooper. Recently taken away from genre fans, Tobe will never be forgotten thanks to making such classics as The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Poltergeist, and (yes, we're calling it a classic - in a wtf way) Lifeforce. We talk about our favourites of his filmography and why we think he deserves the title as one of the "Masters of Horror".

Episode 83: Best Buddies

Fri, 19 Jan 2018 21:00:00 -0800

They may not get along at first but eventually these silver screen duos learn to work together and, in some cases, even become the best of pals.

For this episode of GBW we've taken inspiration from such "buddy" films as Walter Hill's 48 Hrs. to compile lists of our favourites within the sub-genre. Will Riggs and Murtagh make the list? Just how many times can Chris bring up a certain movie (you'll see)? Will there be any curveball choices? How often will Shane Black's name come up?

Tune in to find out but first, as always, we're talking about what we've been watching and it's a mixture of a certain crappy delayed horror sequel, superheroes, Indiana Jones cribbing adventure, cross dressing, and much more!

Episode 82: 2017 Recap

Thu, 04 Jan 2018 21:00:00 -0800

For our first episode of 2018, GBW has decided to do our annual recap episode where we've picked our five favourite films of 2017, list the ones that didn't quite make the cut, and all talk about the films we're looking forward to this year.

Did Josh manage to make five picks despite thinking 2017 was a horrible year for film and how did Chris cut down his large list of contenders? Will there be arguments? Will your favourite make the cut? And will they both have the same top pick like 2016? You'll have to listen to find out.

As usual we kick-off by first talking about what we've been watching. This includes some horror, action, some mannequin sex, and a whole lot more!

Episode 81: Underrated 90's

Thu, 21 Dec 2017 21:00:00 -0800

Time again for us to welcome back past guest Vince D'Amato for some "UNDERRATED" goodness! And what a marathon it turns out to be this time!

We all agreed that the 70's and 80's seemed to be the best decades for films but all three of us were quite surprised at just how many movies made their way onto our lists when diving into the 90's. And what a selection it turns out to be this time with an abundant number of Canadian films, some twisted horror, a zombie comedy, a selection that caused quite a bit of argument, and the declaration that Jennifer Jason Leigh is never bad.

Tune in and hear what ten movies each of us think you should go back and check out as we found them to be truly underrated.

There's some 80's wrestling action, Josh gets heavily into films that feature both cops AND hookers, some menacing sharks, crazy cult leaders, the expected 'VHS Adventure' and a whole lot more!

Episode 79: Bad Cookie vs. Body Horror

Fri, 24 Nov 2017 21:00:00 -0800

For this episode we welcome the team behind Vancouver based Bad Cookie Pictures, Ariel Hansen and Topher Graham, to talk all about their short films "Ready to Burst", "Paint the Town Red", and "The Man in the Rabbit Mask" as well as all their upcoming projects and how they ended up in the horror game in the first place.

Then we invited them to join us in naming our favourite body horror films. The only guideline was: there wasn't any! Meaning we all had very diverse lists that included some films you might have expected, some surprises, and even a little bit of the old A2M. WARNING: things might get a bit raunchy at times!

Sun, 12 Nov 2017 21:00:00 -0800

Being big collectors and supporters of physical media, we here are GBW have decided to discuss another distributor of all sorts of genre gems on blu-ray and DVD. This time out it's the much loved Scream Factory who have, over the last five years, delivered all sorts of horror goodness to our door from elaborate collector's editions, to bizarre double features, and some obscure gems that have never been released on anything but VHS. We've chosen our top five favourite releases and will tell you all about them.

But first, we're talking about what we've watched including a cute alien visiting earth, a hockey masked killer (in 3D!), one of the finest crime films of the 1990's, Madonna's most popular movie, and lots more!

Dunnn-nunnnn-dunnnn-nunnn. Welcome to episode 77 of GBW and this time it might not be safe to go into the water.

It's time for another franchise episode as we tackle the four Jaws films. Starting in 1975 with Steven Spielberg's classic, Bruce (the shark) and the folks of Amity have had a long relationship that ran for four films - each just a little bit worse than that before it. Tune in an hear how we rank the series, our favourite (and least favourite) moments, and a whole lot of shark talk.

Do aliens exist? Do they come in peace? This is a question movies have asked for decades.

It being the Halloween season, we've decided that if aliens are out there they most definitely WON'T be coming in peace. Therefore we've chosen our top five favourite "Space Invaders" films and they range from horror, to comedy, to action and all sorts of things in-between.

First off we talk about what we've been watching including a return visit to Elm Street, some of The Devil's Candy, a handful of disco, a John Waters musical, and much more!

It's been said that music is the Devil's tool. For the latest episode of GBW we've decided to each pick our top six favourite concert films as well as six music curios - for a total of 666 (insert Devil's horns here). It's a mixture of new wave, hippie culture, Americana, and even some dudes in funky costumes. So tune in and hear what our favourite filmed musical moments are.

First up, we talk about what we've been watching including Josh giving a second opinion on It, Baby Driver, and The Big Sick while Chris checked out mother!

Episode 74: Bond 1962-1971

Fri, 15 Sep 2017 21:00:00 -0700

Bond, James Bond. If that's not one of the more famous film lines in history, we don't know what is.

Welcome to the first of four episodes where we dive headfirst into the long-running and much loved James Bond series. Based on Ian Fleming's novels, this series brought the World a macho, suave British spy who, when not busy bedding various females, is stopping the baddies from enacting their various (ridiculous) nefarious plots.

This first episode covers the years 1962-1971 where Sean Connery ruled the roost - apart from George Lazenby's solo appearance in On Her Majesty's Secret Service. We even decided to talk about 1983's Never Say Never Again - just because.

Tune in as Josh relives some childhood memories, and finds them lacking at times, and Chris sees the series for the very first time!

Summer makes us lazy here at GBW. Plus, our planned episode just didn't pan out. So, for this episode there is no topic and we're talking about the abundant films we watched since last time.

We start off talking about attending Vancouver's Cinemafantasique 3 this weekend where we had a blast with Pool Party Massacre, checked out the latest Nuke 'Em High film, met a psychotic Oliver, and enjoyed multiple short films.

From there it's a smorgasbord of Kong, a Gun Woman, some amazons, some gladiators, a Blackcoat's Daughter, some Fast Times, and much more!

Sat, 12 Aug 2017 21:00:00 -0700

We here at GBW are avid movie collectors and this is one of the greatest times to be one as there are many labels out there delivering the goods. That's why we decided to take a suggestion from a listener and start shining the spotlight on the company's we love.

Our first subject, the quality control obsessed Synapse Films. Formed in 1997, Synapse have delivered so many great titles in their ten years of existence and don't look to be slowing down one bit. If you need your fix of Italian horror, outrageous Asian fare, and low-budget cinema you might not be aware of; Synapse will deliver.

As always we first talk about what we've been watching as Chris finally finishes the Police Academy series, Josh re-watches one of the greatest sex comedies of all-time, there's more stoner comedy on tap, and much more!

We certainly don't have great memories of going but lots of people out there do - which might explain why there's quite a few movies set at camp be them horror, comedy, or something else. We talk about our favourites and a few you might not know about.

First up we catch you up to speed on what we've watched including multiple trips to the theatre, a couple of franchise continuations, Mark Mark getting psycho, a T&A 'bait & switch', and much more!

The 70's were just the beginning! We welcome back past guest/filmmaker Vince D'Amato as a co-host for the second in our series of episodes where we'll be diving back into the past five decades of film.

The 1980's may go down as the most schizophrenic for movies but, like all decades, there's some that just don't get the attention and recognition they deserve and that's where we come in! Josh, Chris, and Vince have all chosen ten films each that they feel deserve to be seen by movie fans everywhere and it's quite an assortment of horror, action, horny teenagers, and much more - plus where else are you going to hear the sweet strains of the Ghostbusters theme?

Thu, 15 Jun 2017 21:00:00 -0700

Universal debuted their "Dark Universe" line this past week with Tom Cruise's The Mummy and the reception was, shall we say, less than kind.

That's where we come in as we're here to tell you all about other films that contain some form of Egyptian curse that causes people to either shamble around wrapped in bandages looking for revenge, get possessed by some form of ancient goddess, or go tomb raiding. From the classics, to the lesser known, and (yes) even the Cruise film are mentioned.

First we're talking about what we watching including two trips to the theatres to see a butt-kicking female superhero and deceivingly marketed 'horror' film, Chris continuing his journey through an ensemble comedy series, two 'killer kids' movies, some heavy metal horror mayhem, another dive into Josh's over-stuffed VHS collection and much more!

Episode 67: 3D

Fri, 02 Jun 2017 21:00:00 -0700

Are you ready for the third dimension?

For this episode we tackle 3D. From its heyday in the 1950's, its impact on cinema going, the fact that it really was considered a "fad", and its eventual resurgence in modern times. We also give our opinions on the format and talk about our favourites that used 3D to their advantage.

First up we've got a lot of films we've watched between episodes ranging from a bunch of low-brow comedies, an alien taking on Arnold Schwarzenegger, the debut film from a stoner duo, Josh being amazed at Chris' quickness mentioning an obscure director, and much more!

Episode 66: Scream Queens!

Fri, 12 May 2017 21:00:00 -0700

Linnea. Brinke. Michelle. If those three names paired together make sense to you, then this is the episode you want to hear! Actresses who have made a career appearing in numerous horror flicks have been given the title "Scream Queen" but what exactly does that mean? We go through our definition of the term, who we think are the earliest examples of the type, the actresses we think deserve the term, and (of course) the trio we mentioned above.

First up, we talk about what we've been watching including our big screen adventures with The Evil In Us and The Descent, some questionable comedy choices we made that include guys in drag as well as Adam Sandler and some police recruits, a bunch of Dollarama choices, and much more!

Episode 65: Musicians Who Act

Thu, 27 Apr 2017 21:00:00 -0700

For this episode we've decided to pick our favourite musicians who took a turn at acting as well. We're not talking attempted 'starmaking' vehicles like Brittney Spear's Crossroads or Mariah Carey in "Glitter" - we're talking musicians who actually made a go of stepping in front of the camera and had success doing so. It's a varied list filled with names you might (and might not) expect.

First up, we talk about what we've been watching and this time we both report back from seeing Free Fire on the big screen, wax figures come alive to kill, a movie gets "gonged", ex-NFL player Howie Long tries to go all action hero, Josh has issues with Ferris, and much more!

Episode 64: Jackie Kong

Thu, 13 Apr 2017 21:00:00 -0700

Jackie Kong has directed such films as The Being, Night Patrol and the cult classic Blood Diner. We got the opportunity to sit down with her before a Midnight screening of Diner to talk about her career, the longevity of her films and the struggles of being a female filmmaker in a male dominated industry. Along the way we have a few laughs, hear a few stories and get an exclusive on her ongoing Blood Diner "Insanity Tour".

After the interview be sure to stick around to hear us talk about what we've been watching and, while it might not be the best of films, there are giant robots, golf course mayhem, werewolves, and much more!

Episode 63: We Watched Stuff

Thu, 30 Mar 2017 21:00:00 -0700

After a three week hiatus in which co-host Josh was on vacation, we ended up watching way too much stuff!

First off, Josh tells us all about the cool and bizarre stuff he saw on his two week jaunt to Japan and then we get down to the business at hand: talking about movies! We get a best picture Oscar winner, an 80's slasher Chris actually hasn't seen, Chris is told to GET OUT, Josh goes on a lengthy rant about the new Kong movie, and so much more!

Episode 62: Underrated 70's

Thu, 09 Mar 2017 21:00:00 -0800

Strap yourselves in for a marathon! We welcome back past guest Vince D'Amato as a co-host for the first in a series of episodes where we'll be diving back into the past five decades of film.

The 1970's was a great time for movies but, like all decades, there's some that just don't get the attention and recognition they deserve and that's where we come in! Josh, Chris, and Vince have all chosen ten films each that they feel deserve to be seen by movie fans everywhere and it's quite an assortment of horror, cop action, drama, and much more - plus where else are you going to hear the words "spider vagina"?

Episode 61: GBW n the Hood

Thu, 23 Feb 2017 21:00:00 -0800

For this episode of GBW we get down with our 'gangsta' self. Thanks to the success of Boyz n the Hood there was a heavy influx of movies set in the 'hood - usually the mean streets of Los Angeles or New York City. We look back at this sub-genre and talk about our favourites and one's we think are worth checking out if you're interested in movies that mixed in such elements as drive-by shootings, ambitions that go beyond your environment, and drugs.

First we discuss what we've been watching including Chris' continued attempts to catch up on 2016 movies, a VHS trip to the Philippines, an urban legend-themed sequel, and much more!

Thu, 09 Feb 2017 21:00:00 -0800

"Party On, Dudes!"

Take a trip in a time travelling phone booth with us as we look back at the Bill & Ted franchise. These two dunderheaded California surfer dudes with rock star dreams entertained us (and caused all sorts of havoc throughout time and in Hell) in two movies: Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey.

We talk about the films, our memories of them both, and what sort of impact or spin-offs resulted from their success.

First we discuss what we've been watching including a blood-soaked prom night, a dinner party gone wrong, Josh continuing his VHS adventures, and much more!

Episode 59: Ryan & Megan Nicholson

Thu, 26 Jan 2017 21:00:00 -0800

For episode 59 of GBW we invite two special guests to the show: Ryan and Megan Nicholson.

Ryan's been in the special effects game since way back in the 1990's and has worked on such films as Final Destination, The Pledge, and many more. He also has been directing, under the Plotdigger Films banner, a bunch of memorable extreme horror flicks like Live Feed, Gutterballs, and Hanger.

His wife, Megan, is also an effects artist with varied horror and television credits and along with Ryan works on all sorts of genre endeavours.

We sat down with them both to learn about how they got into horror, became interested in make-up effects, and what the future holds for them both. There's also a lot of laughs along the way and many memorable stories about such people as Jon Voight and Morgan Freeman.

Thu, 12 Jan 2017 21:00:00 -0800

Obsession meets psychosis for the latest episode of GBW where we dive into one of our favourite sub-genres: Home wrecking crazy girls. We're talking girls who worm their way into the families of their crushes and proceed to destroy them. Teenagers who try to seduce older men. And a little bit of bunny boiling on the side.

First up, we talk about what we've been watching including The Autopsy of Jane Doe, another journey on the Train to Busan, some really poor kickboxing adventures, and more of Josh's descent into his over-stuffed VHS collection. Plus more!

Episode 57: 2016 Recap

Sat, 31 Dec 2016 21:00:00 -0800

It's the beginning of a new year and time for our annual recap of the movies of the past year.

We pick our top five favourite films of the year (and argue a bit about it), have some honourable mentions, and list the movies we're anticipating for 2017 - including a few blockbusters, a lot of indie fare, and even a couple of cannibal flicks!

As always we start off talking about what we've watching including Josh's attempts to watch more 2016 movies, Chris realizing that at one time Steven Seagal was actually pretty bad-ass, a couple of titles from the fine folks at Arrow Video, and the continuing VHS adventures of Josh. Plus more!

Episode 56: It's Cold!

Sat, 17 Dec 2016 21:00:00 -0800

If you lived in a climate that actually had winter, I'm sure you remember wishing there'd be a snow day on those days the white stuff was falling from the sky. A day of snowball fights, snowmen, and generally non-education related mayhem.

For this episode of GBW, we're talking all about movies set in the snowy landscape but, in most cases, they're not exactly 'fun'. It's a battle against the elements, against various evil people, and (in some cases) against yourself. Films like The Thing, Cliffhanger, Alive, and much more.

First up, we talk all about what we've been watching as we continue our vacation at Sleepaway Camp, have a Killer Party, fly planes with Tom Selleck, and Josh continues his VHS adventure. Plus more!

Episode 55: Jeffrey Combs / Barbara Crampton

Thu, 01 Dec 2016 21:00:00 -0800

For the first of a new GBW series, we've gathered together a duo of actors who we think are worth talking about.

Most known for their work in 1985's Re-Animator, we look at the careers and highlights of cult actors Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton. We talk about our love of Combs' ability to own craziness, Chris' proclamation that Crampton is one of his favourite 80's "sex symbols", and how they both managed to work together multiple times and star in many memorable horror and b-movies along the way.

First up, we talk all about what we've been watching, as Josh's VHS adventure takes him to Africa, we head back to Sleepaway Camp, there's a whole slew of evil kids lurking in a cornfield, Josh finally gets to revisit I, The Jury, and much more!

Episode 54: The Big House

Thu, 17 Nov 2016 21:00:00 -0800

"Live a life of crime and you do the time."

For this episode we visit 'The Big House'. That's right, we head behind bars to talk all about prison movies. We've excluded women-in-prison (as that is an episode unto itself) but here we talk all about Alcatraz, a couple of Stephen King adaptations, and that time that Jean-Claude Van Damme went undercover in prison to hunt down a serial killer(?!). There's many more flicks set in 'The Joint" that we cover and it would be 'criminal' if you don't listen - I'm done with the silly jokes now.

First off, we talk all about what we've been watching as Josh dusts off another relic of his VHS collection, Chris watches a couple of random sequels, and we look at a couple of Blumhouse releases. Plus much more!

Episode 53: Under The Sea

Fri, 04 Nov 2016 21:00:00 -0700

Plenty of unknown things lurk under the water and for the latest episode of GBW we go diving into the horror genre to bring you some of our favourite (and not so favourite) water based monster movies.

Instead of focusing on sharks, octopi, and other water based animals we've decided to only discuss things that aren't quite of nature. We're talking Humanoids, mutant monsters galore, and even a creature from the black lagoon. These water dwelling beasts have had enough of humankind invading their homes and will do anything to prove it.

First off, we talk all about what we've been watching as Chris binges on a ton of horror for Halloween, Josh continues his VHS adventures, things blow up really good in Hired to Kill, and so much more!

Episode 52: American Zombies!

Thu, 20 Oct 2016 21:00:00 -0700

With the return of "The Walking Dead" upon us very soon, we've decided to dive into the flesh-eating sub-genre of zombie flicks placing our focus on the American made entries.

We all know that George A. Romero and "Night of the Living Dead" is responsible for reinventing zombies in 1968 but what about what came before that? Was it all just voodoo and non-gut munching? And what do we think are worthy movies that followed in Romero's wake?

Tune in as we talk all about the undead and their cravings for flesh! First we talk about what we've been watching including newer fare like The Love Witch and Train to Busan as well as the torture porn-like home invasion of The Collector, a third trip to the world of The Lost Boys, and the first installment of "JOSH'S VHS ADVENTURES" where our brave co-host tries to pare down his VHS collection and starts with a whole lot of Philip Michael Thomas.

Episode 51: RoboCop Franchise

Fri, 07 Oct 2016 21:00:00 -0700

"Your move, creep."

Nowadays 1987's RoboCop is considered a sci-fi/action classic. We thought it was time to revisit the entire franchise and learnt all about the laws of diminishing returns. We also declare that Paul Verhoeven is awesome, Frank Miller needs to stick to writing comics, and Peter Weller is, in fact, the man. (Plus Josh really doesn't like Nancy Allen in these movies).

First off we talk about what we've been watching with us both weighing in on The Final Girls and Blair Witch as well as some Cynthia Rothrock, 80's comedy spoofing, and cannibalistic westerns. Plus much more!

We made it! That's right, GBW has hit 50! And what better way to celebrate than to bring you our biggest guest ever!

To help us celebrate our 50th, we talk to effects maestro Todd Masters. The head of Masters FX and having worked on such films as Slither, Night of the Creeps, and Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight as well as such big name television shows as "True Blood" and "Fringe", Todd was kind enough to allow us to visit his Vancouver studio and sit down with us to talk all about his career including some amazing stories and a whole bunch of laughs.

Episode 49: Top 10 80's Action

Thu, 08 Sep 2016 21:00:00 -0700

Growing up in the 80's was the prime time for some high testosterone manliness and THE decade for the All-American action hero. The kind of guy who could take out an entire army of baddies all by himself - usually with guns that never seemed to need reloading. We're talking names such as Chuck Norris, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Sylvester Stallone.

What are our favourite 80's action flicks? Which would we not hesitate to recommend to those who (sadly) missed out on this prime-time for over-the-top and ridiculous action? Tune in and hear both of our lists - and be as surprised as we are at a couple of the entries.

But first, we talk about what we've been watching including a movie that takes George A. Romero's name in vain, a visit to the theatre to see Don't Breathe, the cowboy robots of Westworld, and much more!

Episode 48: The Raimi

Thu, 18 Aug 2016 21:00:00 -0700

With his kinetic energy, creative camera movements, and (at times goofy) sense of humour, Sam Raimi has made tons of memorable films during his career. Aside from being behind one of the more iconic horror franchises in the past thirty-years with The Evil Dead; Sam also directed the best superhero movie of all-time with Spider-Man 2, tackled westerns with The Quick & The Dead, and even took a trip to the land of Oz. He also has produced such cult favourites as “Xena: Warrior Princess” and horror flicks under the Ghost House label as well as trying his hand in acting. We dig the guy and talk all about him in Episode 48.

First we talk about what we’ve watched and somehow manage to relate “Stranger Things”, the Ghostbusters remake, and Suicide Squad to each other as well as talk about some killer bugs (Infested), one of David Lynch’s finest films (The Elephant Man), and Josh goes back on his word and watches Lake Placid vs. Anaconda – plus much more!

Oh, boy, do we have a lot of movies to talk about this time! So many, in fact, that we've decided to split this episode into two parts.

We've finished talking about what we've watched and now it's time to talk all about "Deadly Vehicles". From the supernatural revenge-fueled hatred of Christine, to the demented trucker of Duel, and all sorts of vehicular mayhem. Tune is as Josh and Chris talk all about the deadliest flicks on wheels!

Oh, boy, do we have a lot of movies to talk about this time! So many, in fact, that we've decided to split this episode into two parts.

This first installment has Chris and Josh bringing you up to speed on what they've been watching including some anthologies by the way of V/H/S 2, a whole bunch of movie/music related documentaries (I Am Thor, to name one), and tons more. This is what happens when we don't talk about these things for a month!

After this episode, we will be following it with a .5 where we dive into our selected topic "Deadly Vehicles". You may know them by their name (Christine), their look (The Car), or just their merciless, ahem, "drive" (Duel) - all this can be had... NEXT TIME!

Episode 46: Vince D'Amato

Thu, 30 Jun 2016 21:00:00 -0700

This week on GBW we welcome special guest, Vince D'Amato.

A staple on the Vancouver indie film circuit for around fifteen years, Vince co-founded Creepy Six Films who are responsible for such flicks as Vampires vs. Zombies (aka Carmilla) and The Hard Cut, is the programmer/director of Shivers Film Society who strive to bring lesser-known indie films and classics to the big screen as well as organize special guests such as Lloyd Kaufman, and he has also formed Brivido Giallo to create modern day giallo inspired films.

We fill Vince up with plentiful beer for an interview that spans such topics as his first horror movie experiences, how he became an indie director and the challenges along the way, what the impetus was for forming Shivers, and even manage to get some giallo recommendations for those of us (like Chris) who are just starting to get into the sub-genre.

Tune in for this talk and make sure to visit Vince on the web at www.creepysixfilms.com as well as www.shiversfilmsociety.com

Episode 45: Caligula

Thu, 16 Jun 2016 21:00:00 -0700

Somehow in 1979, Penthouse hooked up with some Italian filmmakers and "legit" actors like Malcolm McDowell and Helen Mirren to make a historical film about the life and insanity of Roman Emperor Caligula. Oh, and did I mention they also decided to insert a bunch of hardcore sex while they were at it?

It's a movie that's production history is so damn bizarre and fascinating that it's easy to see why this has gone on to be such a cult movie. Why did this get made? What were they thinking? How many cock close-ups do we possibly need?

We watched Caligula and talk all about it. But first we catch you up on what we've been watching including James Wan's Conjuring 2, a trip back to found footage land, Josh ranting about one of the worst movie's he's (possibly) ever seen, and much more!

Episode 44: Movie Reference Books!

Thu, 02 Jun 2016 21:00:00 -0700

Yes, there was a time before the good 'ole internet where we actually had to resort to books (not IMDB) to learn about movies. Where we built up of knowledge of all things filmmaker, horror, b-movie, and beyond. It was a glorious time to be a kid and thanks to the abundance of movie reference books out there you can recapture the thrill of flipping through pages of analysis and stills.

First off we'll catch you up on the (lots) we've been watching in the three weeks between episodes including some Nice Guys, a couple of murderous doll movies, and an oddly large amount of found footage flicks.

We all know Frankenstein. King Kong. Godzilla. But what about the monsters equally as cool that you might not know about? This episode we shine the light on monsters we think deserve more recognition from the smallest of minions, to a toothy outer space invader, and even a sssssssnake man.

But first, as usual, we fill you in on what we've been watching as Josh (finally) finishes another franchise, we look at another 80's slasher flick from Arrow Video, and much more!

However, first we take a long time to catch you up on what we've been watching (it's been a month, after all) as we talk the holy grail of 80's slashers, a daredevil documentary, the newly released Hush, a whole lot of Reb Brown and much, much more!

If you're a fan of Chuck Norris - or 80's Cannon action flicks where stuff blows up real good - then tune in as we get lost in the jungles of Vietnam.

Episode 40: The Outsiders Legacy

Thu, 31 Mar 2016 21:00:00 -0700

We read S.E. Hinton's novel in school. We got caught up in the tale of the greasers vs. the socs. Francis Ford Coppola brought it to the big screen and brought one of the biggest young ensemble casts of the 80's.

Names like Howell, Swayze, Lowe, and Cruise co-starred and all of them went on to lengthy careers of various quality. We take a look at them all and talk about our favourite moments in their resumes.

But first, we first catch you up with what we've been watching as Chris has a hard time being positive about his latest viewings including getting really mad about Kevin Smith. Meantime, Josh talks about Zack Snyder's takes on Superman and gets all "women in chains" with Pam Grier and Margaret Markov Plus much more!

Episode 39: Top Ten Vampire Movies

Of all the horror sub-genres it's pretty safe to say that vampires have been given the most attention. There's just so many out there, how could you possibly choose?

That's where we come in! We've both chosen our top ten favourite vampire movies of all-time varying from the arthouse, to the grindhouse, to the "this is so 80's" cannon - with some surprises in-between. So tune in and hear us talk all about the 'children of the night'.

As always, we first catch you up with what we've been watching as Chris revisits a superhero flick of his youth, the guys continue their recent love affair with everything Burt Reynolds, and Josh half-heartedly chants Beetlejuice three times. Plus much more!

Episode 38: Drive-In Double Features

Thu, 03 Mar 2016 21:00:00 -0800

Despite having its peak in the 50's and 60's, the drive-in movie theatre will be forever ingrained into history. Where else can you spend a summer night watching two movies, stuffing your face full of popcorn and hot dogs, hanging out with buddies, and (hopefully) making out in the backseat of your car?

In the spirit of this bygone cinema-going experience we've come up with lists of movies we'd love to see paired up and on a giant outdoor screen while the speaker hooked up to our car window gives off the crackly sounds of tinny gunfire and explosions.

First off we catch you up with what we've been watching as Chris takes a big journey back to the 80's with the likes of the javelin killing slasher flick Fatal Games and Flashdance while Josh continues his path towards depravity with I Spit on Your Grave 2 as well as discovering one of his favourite vampire movies of all-time.

There's not too many people you can point at and say they are not only a legend but also a maverick, a shrewd businessman, a mentor, and a harvester of talent but all these things (and more) can be said about legendary filmmaker/producer Roger Corman.

For this episode of GBW we talk about one of the guys, if not THE guy, who got us into b-movies - and movies in general - with his mix of exploitation that included much comedy, a whole lot of over-the-top violence, and the much welcomed occasional nudity. And he did it all with a smile.

But first we'll catch you up to speed on what we've been watching including another excursion into Japanese crime cinema of the 60's, Arrow Video delivering a much sought after 80's slasher, more crocodile chomping humans madness, and an early look at The Witch.

Episode 36: Tapeheads

Fri, 05 Feb 2016 21:00:00 -0800

In the 80's John Cusack starred in many beloved flicks such as Better Off Dead and Say Anything... but we're willing to be you probably haven't heard of the subject of this episode: 1988's Tapeheads.

Co-starring Cusack and Tim Robbins this off-beat comedy has our two pals trying to break into the music video business and there's a whole lot of cameo appearances, musical numbers, and wacky humour along the way! Plus it's produced by Michael Nesmith from the Monkees!

Tune in to listen to us talk about this lesser known 80's comedy and also for us to catch you up to speed on what we've been watching including some a killer grizzly, hungry from human flesh crocodile, and a surprising verdict on Deathgasm.

Episode 35: These Covers Go To 11

Thu, 21 Jan 2016 21:00:00 -0800

In tribute to the recent passings of Lemmy and David Bowie we've decided to venture into the world of music for this episode. And what better way to do that than talk about covers? We all have heard them. Some we love for how they change the original or how the artist reinterprets them, others we despise for how the ruin the source material.

Which is why we go all "Spinal Tap" and list our top 11 favourite cover songs. We also talk briefly about ones that didn't make our list and others we absolutely hate.

But first we'll catch you up to speed with what we've been watching including some bigfoot, Leo DiCaprio vs. a bear, a whole lotta love for Excision, and much more!

Episode 33: Brisson & The Bronx

Thu, 17 Dec 2015 21:00:00 -0800

It's comics meets the post apocalypse as we welcome creator/writer Ed Brisson (Sheltered, Cluster, The Violent) to the show to talk about his career, influences and determination to get into the world of comic books. We discuss his beginnings as an indie filmmaker, writing a "Sons of Anarchy" spin-off, getting to live every comics fan dream of scripting Batman, and so much more!

For the second half of this episode we also gave Ed the chance to pick a movie for us to talk about and, much to our chagrin and (more so) delight, he chose the 1982 Italian knock-off, 1990: The Bronx Warriors. Take a journey with us into the futuristic 1990(!) world of New York where gangs roam the wasteland that is the Bronx as "Trash" (Mark Gregory) and his gang have to protect a misplaced heiress from other gangs and the malicious cop sent to bring her back to the safety of Manhattan. From director Enzo G. Castellari (Keoma, The Last Shark), this is Italian rip-offing at its finest.

Thu, 03 Dec 2015 21:00:00 -0800

Come and knock on our door... If you recognize that line, then you'll definitely want to listen to us talk all about the sitcoms we watched growing up from the 70's and 80's. Shows about roommates, radio disc jockeys, orphans, and all sorts of dysfunctional families.

But first we catch you up with what we've been watching which includes Josh getting crocodile, talk about a hockey comedy that's not called Slap Shot, and much more!

Episode 31: The Black Hole

Thu, 19 Nov 2015 21:00:00 -0800

What lies within The Black Hole? Who decided to let Slim Pickens voice a robot? Just what the hell (literally) is going on in that finale? We ask these questions and more as we take a look at Disney's 1979 sci-fi not-so-epic. This is a movie that scared Josh as a kid but that Chris just watched recently for the first time. How does the experience differ between someone seeing it as a child and a cynical adult finally getting around to seeing this misguided, maligned flick? Tune in to find out!

But first we catch you up with what we've been watching as Josh starts watching another franchise (and thinks it may have been a mistake), we go off the rails a bit to lament Arrow Video being too expensive, and there's a little bit of Ash vs. Evil Dead thrown into the mix - and much more!

Episode 30: Psycho Kids

Fri, 06 Nov 2015 21:00:00 -0800

Whitney Houston may have believed that the "children are our future" but what if said future included being attacked by the very same children? We've always believed that the youth are innocent and pure but for this episode of GBW we're going to shine a light on movies that would like to prove that belief wrong.

Join us on this journey into childish homicide (among other things) as we talk about such memorable kiddie killers as Rhoda, Damien, and Malachi.

First we'll catch you up with what we've been watching including the end of Josh's Freddy revisit, more Dollarama two dollar DVDs, and some Scouts taking on zombies. Plus more!

Episode 29: Craig Davidson (aka: Nick Cutter)

Thu, 22 Oct 2015 21:00:00 -0700

We're excited to bring you this very special episode of GBW!

We trekked our way to the Vancouver Writer's Fest and had the pleasure of sitting down with author Craig Davidson (aka: Nick Cutter) writer of the Giller nominated "Cataract City", the boy scouts vs. monster romp "The Troop" which Stephen King proclaimed was 'old-school horror at its best', and most recently "The Acolyte".

Tune in as we talk to one of our favourite writers as we talk about small press, the challenge of juggling a pseudonym, some bizarre steroid use stories, and we even get recommendations from Craig for your Halloween entertainment.

Episode 28: Remakes

Thu, 15 Oct 2015 21:00:00 -0700

If there's one thing that makes the general movie geek population angry it's the topic of this episode: remakes.

In a time where it seems there's remakes, reboots, and re-dos being announced almost daily we take the time to talk about some of the best (and worst) that are out there. We also make the surprising discovery we both don't quite hate remakes as much as we suspected - though there are, of course, exceptions.

As usual, we first get you up to speed about what we've watched including Josh's Elm Street journey closing in on the end, some tennis playing T&A with Jocks, a pretty hearty argument about The Green Inferno, and more.

Episode 27: Gotcha!

Thu, 01 Oct 2015 21:00:00 -0700

It's paint guns, espionage, virgins, bad-ass Russians, and more as we jet back to 1985 and take a look at Jeff Kanew's Gotcha!

Starring Anthony Edwards (Revenge of the Nerds) and Linda Fiorentino, this teen spy comedy was a staple of our youth and we've decided to take a trip back to Berlin all these years later and see how it holds up.

But first we tell you about what we've been watching including Josh's continued journey to Elm Street, the roller skating disco of Skatetown U.S.A., and even a dose of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Thu, 24 Sep 2015 21:00:00 -0700

Insects. Creepy crawlies. Bugs. We all know them. We all hate them. Which is probably why there's so damn many killer insect movies out there. From bees, to slugs, to cockroaches, and much more we take a look at our multiple-legged pests and name some of our favourites (and not so favourites).

But first we catch you up to speed on what we've been watching including an argument about Nightmare on Elm Street 3: The Dream Warriors, The Blob, Bedevilled, and more!

Sat, 12 Sep 2015 21:00:00 -0700

Jump in your Lamborghini and break the speed limit with us as we talk all about one of our most beloved childhood classics, The Cannonball Run!

Released in 1981 and directed by stunt man-turned-director Hal Needham, this Burt Reynolds starring comedy contains slapstick, cleavage, hot cars, and all sorts of mayhem. But how does it hold up over thirty years later? Will we still dig it? Or have we grown out of this un-P.C., dopey form of comedy? Tune in and find out!

First off, though, we talk about such fare as Backcountry, Mugsy's Girls, Creep, and much more!

Episode 24: The Landis

Thu, 03 Sep 2015 21:00:00 -0700

It's hard not to think of the 80's without thinking of the movies of John Landis. This is the guy who was responsible for making not only the movie that started the low-budget frat sex comedies that followed in its wake (Animal House) but also the greatest music video ever with Michael Jackson's "Thriller", a top notch werewolf flick (An American Werewolf in London), and one of the most raucous musicals in history with The Blues Brothers.

Tune in as we talk about "The Landis". But first we talk about Josh's trip to Los Angeles, What We Do in the Shadows, the Alien series, and much more!

Episode 23: A Nightmare On Elm Street 2

Thu, 20 Aug 2015 21:00:00 -0700

This week Chris and Josh are joined by Matt Kelly from The Saint Mort Show and Horror Movie Night podcasts to talk all about your favourite razor-handed killer, Freddy Krueger. For our second, more streamlined, movie specific episode we decided to skip the Wes Craven original and dive right into the bizarre, at times, "what were they thinking?" follow-up that is "Freddy's Revenge".

Directed by Jack Sholder this picks up five years after the original and promises some more Freddy, a possession angle you weren't expecting, a bedroom dance sequence so common in 80's flicks, and a whole lot of thinly veiled homosexuality. So join us as we led you through this second venture into Springwood!

But first we'll tell you what we've been watching and talk about such films as Crystal Lake Memories, Lucy, Cheap Thrills, and even Gnaw: Food of the Gods 2!

As always we start by talking about what we've been up to and cover such topics as Alien 3, The Changeling, Burt Reynolds toupee action extravaganza Malone, and Ernest Cline's "Ready Player One".

Directed by Jim Muro and written by Roy Frumkes (Document of the Dead), this little ditty is about the homeless population in New York City who not only have to deal with a crazed Vietnam vet but also the fact the cheap one-dollar liquor from the nearby store (Tenafly Viper) is causing them all to explode in a gooey gooey mess!

Episode 20: Found Footage

Tue, 21 Jul 2015 21:00:00 -0700

Summer vacation is officially over for us which could only mean... more episodes! For our return we've decided to tackle the found footage sub-genre that seems to be taking over the horror genre at the moment.

Despite Chris' bitterness and Josh's willingness to seemingly watch ANY found footage flick they both manage to agree on what some of the best ones out there are as well as briefly looking at where these types of films came from, talking about why its such a 'love it or hate it' sub-genre, and which ones they're looking forward to seeing.

But first we talk about what we've been watching and it involves Deliverance style softball chicks, Japanese mafia, Chuck Norris, and more!

Thu, 28 May 2015 21:00:00 -0700

In honour of the release of George Miller's latest Max Max epic "Fury Road" we've decided to take a leap into the bleak future where resources are scarce, cars and people are armoured up and all punk rock, and our heroes are gruff.

That's right, it's the apocalypse, baby! From the Max series to the numerous Italian rip-offs, we tackle wasteland apocalypse flicks that give us a glimpse into the "oh so near" future. Hear us praise Fury Road, talk of how crazy those Italians are, and even Don Johnson and his telepathic canine friend (A Boy and his Dog).

Science has its good sides and its bad sides. For episode 17 we focus on the bad side. We're talking manic, change-the-world-for-the-worse types of scientists who lust for power and recognition while not hesitating to do nasty things to the human body.

You may be familiar with names like Victor Frankenstein or Herbert West but we've come up with a list of mad scientists who are sure to steal your heart - or rip it out!

Episode 15: We Get Nostalgic

Wed, 08 Apr 2015 21:00:00 -0700

We can all admit that our tween and teenage years is where we began to develop our taste in entertainment. It was when we gathered together our idols, found things cooler than they probably deserved to be, and (of course) fell in love and had crushes on the opposite sex.

For episode 15 we get completely nostalgic. Being children of the 80's, we talk all about the actors, actresses, and even parody musicians ("Weird Al"?!) who made an impression on our young minds. First we talk all about what we've been watching and it's a mix that involves Jason (surprise!), samurais, and a little bit of witch torture.
