Episode 211: The Action Icons Parade

There’s 18 movies on the agenda for this episode and, completely not on purpose, we ended up with a handful of them starring bigger name action icons.

Apart from the various ass-kicking by established bad-asses we also talk a duo of “not-so-great” slasher flicks, visit the sleazy New York City of 1971, end up surprised by a Will Ferrell movie, get two crazy efforts involving fetus transference and pin-up girls, go back to ‘Nam Cirio H. Santiago style, we “go mad in a field”, and so much more!

Episode 210: Bruce Lee & Popcorn Trees

This time out we have overwrought action heroes, a spiritual Bruce Lee, and more assorted nuttiness.

We cover 20 movies including a constantly yelling Reb Brown, a look at THE POPE’S EXORCIST, a good reason to not run across the desert, Pee-Wee being as charming as ever, a revisit to a now cult favourite 90’s sea monster romp, a hopefully final visit to the cornfield, the outrageous BLOOD DELERIUM, and so much more!

Episode 209: Move Your Dead Bones

I heard you missed us, we’re back! (Yes, that’s a Van Halen reference).

After a longer-than-expected hiatus we’re back with twenty-one slabs o’ movies including a look at current box office darling BARBIE, an elderly Mae West being horny, a slasher revisit that makes us question our buying habits, Josh talks one of his all-time favourites, Gerard Butler is slowly becoming an action star GBW go-to, we talk early Scorsese, Hilary Swank is a mom-beating delinquent teen, the Australian apocalyptic wasteland gets a true hero, and so much more!

Episode 208: Auteurs & Scumbags

This episode we talk twenty films including a couple of auteur directors and even a few un-savoury scumbags to boot.

This time we look at Wes Anderson’s ASTEROID CITY, a bunch of creatures romp their way across the screen, an indie Canadian dramedy makes us pine for the video store, Josh keeps up to date on a few franchises, a classic sci-fi gets its first viewing, Rutger Hauer isn’t as cool a bounty hunter as we remembered, some iconic punk musicians talk about their record collections, William Friedkin delivers the goods while JCVD does not, and so much more!

Episode 207: GBWdotcom.com

What’s as absurd as the title of this episode? A few of the 18 flicks that crossed our path since our last outing.

This time we learn that sometimes re-visits are just as bad as the original viewing, Albert Pyun teams up with JCVD with better than expected results, a few series we’ve been picking at are concluded, stop motion gets the spotlight it deserves, Robert Culp isn’t going to put up with some juvenile delinquents, evil kids who don’t worship corn do their thing, and so much more!

Episode 206: Street Fight Tonight!

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.

The 90’s were a bad time for video game adaptations and we having shining proof of this, there’s disaster in the air Gerard Butler style, vampire bats barely show up in NIGHTWING, a much loved horror anthology fails to impress, Peter O’Toole swashbuckles and womanizes his way into our hearts, Josh is starting to appreciate Scott Adkins, we have a Roger Corman two-fer, sitting alone with Chinese food is a thing, and so much more!

Episode 205: Fistfuls of Gore

This episode of GBW contains a bunch of trips to the theatre, a handful of revisits, and even a rant on Andrew McCarthy.

This time out we discuss 21 movies including a sports-themed TV thriller that fails to understand its most important themes (uh, sports?), a revisit to the original appearance of Ghostface, Lucio Fulci goes swords & sorcery, John Carpenter visits an evil church, RENFIELD and EVIL DEAD RISE bring some horror, Ali Larter proves her crazy girl cred, and so much more!

Episode 204: Kicking Ass & Kidnaps

Have you ever wanted to kidnap a kid, tell them they’re dead, and convince them that they’re in Heaven? No? Well one of the 18 movies we’re talking about this time does just that.

We also watch some animals getting sweet revenge, Chris finally checks out a well-regarded 70’s sorta slasher, a 70’s TV movie delivers more thrills than expected, found footage meets super powers, Jalal Merhi gives us an example of why he was Canada’s action “guru” in the 90’s, Bruce Campbell attempts a heist, Josh still isn’t sure about BARBARELLA, and so much more!

Episode 203: Watch It!

This episode we get down with some serial killing, rubbery creatures, and a giant eyeball head?!

Twenty flicks crossed our paths this time including Lamberto Bava doing giallo, JCVD going on an adventure that (of course!) ends with butt-kicking, Keanu Reeves proving he could act way back in the 80’s, Anthony Michael Hall’s bizarre vanity project, some graverobbing, Kevin Smith finishing his CLERKS trilogy, a duo of new releases with PROJECT WOLF HUNTING and THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CHILDREN, and so much more!

Episode 202: Assassins, Thieves & A Cocaine Bear

Maybe if we took a cue from one of our furry friends and snorted a bunch of powder, 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!
