Episode 226: No Doberman

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

Some movies get released with 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.

Episode 224: Post Apocalyptic Summer Camp

Where else but GBW are you going to hear about swashbuckling, an underrated 90’s power pop band and crazy girls all in the same episode? Nowhere.

This time out we get some TV movie summer camp shenanigans, checked out Rose Glass’ LOVE LIES BLEEDING, Josh bemoans the state of “torture porn” of the mid-2000’s, Lara Flynn Boyle goes crazy, pirates sing and dance, George A. Romero gets medieval (sort of), there’s all sorts of submarine drama, truckers don’t take no guff, and so much more!

Episode 223: Air Sax

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.

Then it’s on to the flicks and, this time, we’re all over the place with Bruce Willis doing the nasty, Burt Reynolds being a cool cowboy, a tween girl getting bloody revenge, the most bizarre “two Coreys” movie ever, a finale to the O.G. Planet of the Apes franchise, a crime comedy with a great cast that was dumped by its studio, a sheriff who REALLY doesn’t like speeders, some “Air Sax”, and so much more!

Episode 222: Creepy Old Men (& Other Tales)

Step right up as we talk about sixteen movies that are rife with inappropriate old dudes, slow-motion overuse, and even gut munching.

This time we’re returning to the Planet of the Apes, the Italians are ripping off Hollywood yet again, Jet Li shows how he became a star, babysitter Keri Russell gets up to all sorts of mischief, Joe D’Amato directs a horror flick with a difficult to pronounce name, we discover the inspiration for Kevin Smith, some kids want new parents even if their chosen adults aren’t down with that, and so much more!

Episode 221: Poorly Aged

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.

This time out we’ve got Gary Busey at his most unhinged (if that even possible?), we get two non-traditional westerns, some bad 90’s CG rears its ugly head, the sun makes a guy go from jerk to lizard(!?), we visit a haunted asylum, 2023 horror continues to underwhelm us, Sybil Danning can’t motivate this “squad”, a giant octopus causes havoc, and so much more!

Episode 220: Let’s Boogie!

It’s hard to say if the twenty movies we cover this time are the most eccentric batch in a while but they’re certainly all over the place.

This time out we get ready to proclaim “everybody cut, everybody cut”, amble around 70’s Los Angeles with Kris Kristofferson, talk about the Oscar nominated THE ZONE OF INTEREST, learn about love from Sailor and Lula, discover that the key to winning basketball is astrology(??), complain about serial killer movie cash-ins, document Satanic panic, discover a lesser-known Italian action flick, and so much more!

Episode 219: GBW High

We stroll into 2024 with another slab of movies to talk about. Twenty-two of them, in fact.

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 Minnelli, a fake reality show that involves murdering contestants, a classic Arabian adventure, and so much more!

Episode 218: Peace Out 2023

Happy Holidays from your friends at GBW as we bring you our last episode of 2023.

We cover twenty movies this time including Chris finishing his year long journey into the world of JCVD, Matt Dillon and crew robbing pharmacies, a shirtless Leslie Nielsen being a complete jerk, a 90’s VR martial arts movie that (surprise!) is no good, a moody Val Lewton production, Scorsese doing family drama, two crude comedies, a pervy Paul Naschy, and so much more!

Episode 217: Start the Day

As we head towards the end of 2023 there’s absolutely no chance you’ll get a “best of” episode from us as we’ve been much too busy watching various oddities and exploitation flicks of yesteryear,

Amongst the eighteen films covered this time we get a duo of Christmas horror, two completely different flicks starring an animal, a JCVD team-up that’s not as cool as it could’ve been, one of Eli Roth’s favourite exploitation flicks, Ralph Macchio playing the blues, classic 60’s sci-fi speculation, a military academy you wouldn’t want to attend, and so much more!
