For this episode of GBW we get down with our ‘gangsta’ selves. 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 ones we think are worth checking out if you’re interested in movies that mix in such elements as drive-by shootings, ambitions that go beyond your environment, and drugs.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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 same cases) against yourself. Films like The Thing, Cliffhanger, Alive, and much more.

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.

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.

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.

With the return of “The Walking Dead” upon us, 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?
