WHY ARE WE YELLING?! BECAUSE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT KILLER ROBOTS WITH SPECIAL GUEST SEAN FROM MOVIE DUMPSTER!!! 1994’s Death Machine stars Brad Dourif as a classic maniacal, immature, perverted villain trying to maintain power and cause a shit load of chaos. He unleashes the ultimate killing machine called the “Warbeast” in a corporate building, killing anything and everything in its way! That includes walls! This movie has some brutal violence (see the elevator scene) and intense moments! Larger ...

Sadly, the Month of Chaos has come to an end but we go out with a bang! The Wheel of Pain fell on Charlie's name and we were graced with the Jackie Chan / Chris Tucker blockbuster Rush Hour. So many mixed feelings led to an amazing conversation. Pete and Charlie both got in trouble with the Give Me Back HR department while Anna was laughing and pointing knowing she was still in good graces.

As we wrap up the horror side of The Month of Chaos, the cast is treated to possibly the silliest Friday the 13th movies in the franchise. I say silliest with all the love and admiration I can muster. Jason Goes to Hell is a delightful left turn from all the typical Jason troupes while still giving us the creative kills and practical gore we all love. Friday fans are torn over this one and I'd like to encourage you to revisit Goes to Hell if it's been a while. Don't take it seriously for heaven'...

Only one man could lead us into another year of B-ACTION badassery and only one movie studio could usher us into a new era of wall to wall B-ACTION goodness. Joe Lara takes us into the not so distant future in 1995’s Hologram Man from PM Entertainment! Not to be confused with Demolition Man! Because basically it's the same plot. But that doesn't matter though thanks to constant explosions, badass chase scenes, roid rage, and excellent practical effects! Does it make a whole lot of sense? Hell no...

*From the Desk of Pete* If you know anything about director Takashi Miike's filmography then you'll be well prepared for the insanity, head scratching confusion and WTFs of Yakuza Apocalypse. This is such a Pete movie that his picture should be in the IMDB entry. If you decide to watch it, free on Tubi by the way, please go into it with the understanding that the film isn't to be understood but rather experienced or maybe even endured....hence Month of Chaos!!!!!!!

Parker from Dissect That Film joins us to cover the sensation that is Terrifier. The film is shockingly polar and there are few fans that hover in the middle of this film. The perfect example of "you love it or you hate it." If you're here to listen to Charlie crap on a movie then this is your episode, however Charlie is very good at making his points clear and succinct without becoming a petulant child pouting in the corner because he watched a movie with a clown. Anna and Parker are fans but a...

One year ago a new podcast was forged out of the desire to seek out the lost and explore the unknown. From the waves of Devil's Island to the peak of Death Mountain and everywhere in-between, B-ACTION rides upon their steeds of steel across the desert wastelands of worlds forgotten with the whispers of only one word…BADASS. Join us as we celebrate our trip around the Sun with memorable moments, favorite episodes, and reflecting on our ratings! Then it's an outrageous tournament to the death with...

*From the Desk of Pete* Expectations were pretty low for a sequel that is hated by the masses but after watching the movie I'd like to ask these masses, "Have you actually watched Robocop 2, or are you just repeating what others are saying?" Robocop 2 was a first time watch for Anna and Pete but was such an unexpected homerun that neither of the hosts can explain the distain for the film. Robocop is a masterpiece of action cinema but 2 is a hoot. Think of it like Gremlins and Gremlins 2, very di...

*From the desk of Pete* Once thought to be "Lost Media," Spider Baby has thankfully been rediscovered and given a proper Blue Ray release by Arrow. The last film of legendary genre actor Lon Chaney Jr. puts out a powerful performance in this ominous, horrifying rendition of an "Old Dark House" film and Sid Haig flexes his acting chops without ever saying a word. Charlie blew Pete and Anna's mind when he suggested that Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses is a spiritual remake and the more they tal...

Mickey's birthday month takes a dark turn with 1989’s The Punisher starring Dolph Lundgren and Louis Gossett Jr. We needed a little help to contain this level of violence so we recruited Nate to help us wade through the bullets and blood! What happens when American gangsters go to war with the Yakuza? They get PUNISHED. We touch on the comic book inspirations, the ruthless villains, and one big glaring omission from the characters gear. Big explosions! Mountains of bullets! A ridiculous amount o...

*from the desk of Pete* Pete would like to apologize for picking another long film but not too much because this movie was great. Our " Come What May," month kicked us right in the goodie bits and we lost an episode. Whatever, shit happens. So instead of a horror movie we bring you an action movie....again. When this film dropped in late April 2025, Pete was excited to see that director Shinji Higuchi (Shin Godzilla) was at the helm and he did NOT disappoint. Admittedly, the film could have shav...

Sometimes an episode demands to be buried. You will understand why if you finish this episode. Our one and only Seagully episode. Where Steven Seagal does a live commentary track alone with the movie Exit Wounds. So fire up your copy of Exit Wounds, hit that play button once he tells you too, and just enjoy the ride.

There's so much machismo in The Rock that you can smell the musk on set. If lots of shooting and lots of dick wagging are your idea of a good time then this is your kind of movie. Low blows aside...(giggity), The Rock is quite a bit of fun thanks to an amazing cast of actors, incredible sets and real life SEALs. Even Pete liked it and he hates these kind of movies. As far as action movies go, you'll love this one.

It's Mickey's birthday month and you just know he was gonna put the spotlight on some comic book movies! First up is 1989s The Return of Swamp Thing! That's right we went straight to the sequel because it's full of huge explosions, hilarious one-liners, and kick ass practical effects! This film perfectly skirts the edges of horror, comedy, romance, and most importantly ACTION! Vegetable puns fly freely as Swamp Thing appears in time to beat the hell out of security guards, inbred rednecks, and b...

Even though Pete's not a fan of the genre, he still has a fun talking about this film with Charlie and Dawn of the Dead SUPERFAN Anna. The message of the film wasn't lost on any of us and still hauntingly relevant to this day. It's always a good time when Tom Savini shows up in a gore-filled movie especially when he does the FX. The films short comings are addressed, excuses are made, successful defense is had and a rip roaring conversation is now published for all to hear.... Until our own zomb...

I'm not sure how to show my love for this film. It did so much for my love of cinematic diversity. Watching kung-fu movies on TBS or USA or whatever was always a treat but I had not idea what was going on or if there was a plot. Kill Bill became a widely loved film of cinephiles who gushed over the camera action and the screenplay. At the time, I had no idea it borrowed so much material from Japanese cinema. Kill Bill, while clearly Americanized, is a revenge movie and cultural soup that gives t...

The day has come that we've all been waiting for...well, at least for Mickey! The “Queen of Martial Arts” kicks onto the B-ACTION screen in 1992’s Tiger Claws! A martial arts serial killer tears through the streets using a dark dangerous martial art known as the “Tiger Style”! A badass but underutilized Cynthia Rothrock and Don Johnson wannabe Jalal Merhi crack the case only to end up face to face with a terrifying version of Bob Ross painting “Happy Little Tigers” in the blood of his enemies!

Anna's co-hosts over at The Barren's Hideout podcast, Big D and Little D, joined us tonight in an assault on Charlie's person for his contemptuous opinion on Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon. As always, even though Charlie didn't care for the film, he gave it a fair review and his points were spot on, unlike his revulsion for Cutie Honey and Thirst, of which his opinions are wrong and he should be ashamed about himself. Leslie Vernon is a big thumbs up from everyone who's name isn't Ch...

Get you popcorn and drink of choice, turn off your brain and just have a good time with Anna's Banger Month pick of 2001s Tomb Raider. Long time friend and first time guest, Daniel from The Geeks with Beards podcast, joins us for a rip-roaring conversation. While not as good as the three Indiana Jones movies (yes, there are ONLY three) but clearly better than King Solomon's Mines, this movie is an enormously fun adventure movie with a ton of ridiculous action perfectly suited for the flavor of t...

The post-nuclear wasteland of Alaska is a dangerous place. You gotta walk tall and carry a big ass gun. He may be a man of few words, but Slade (Richard Norton) is the tallest SOB on the block! The Equalizer 2000 is wall to wall action with big explosions, brutal flamethrowers, and an infinite amount of bullets! Robert Patrick shines in his feature film debut. This unmistakably “B” movie is fun for sure…but is it badass?! Don't just watch Action, B-Action!!!!

Charlie rarely watches movies that never saw a VHS release but thankfully Anna made him sit down for the 2019 Ready or Not. Samara Weaving (woof. yes please) heads up a surprisingly gory "Cat and Mouse" affair that surprised us all how good it was on our first watch. This film is just so damn fun thanks to the original storyline, viciously hilarious kills and a cast that is having a bloody hoot make a horror movie. Anna's Banger Month of Annapril keeps it's momentum with this strong recommendati...

One look at Sisu should be enough for any reasonable to immediately deduce that in no way shape or for show you screw with this guy on any level. Phrases like "Yes, sir No, sir, May I help, sir, Thank you for not forcibly removing my spleen, sir" are all perfectly acceptable forms of communication with Sisu. Things like, "Imma shoot your dog, blow up your horse, steal your gold and burn down your country," are NOT what one would call a sensible conversation. Sisu is a film that flew under the ra...

As he struggles to coexist with the sentient alien armor within, the Cronos Corporation resurfaces! That means more Zoanoids, more amazing special effects, and more badass fight choreography! This one has its ups and downs, and no Mark Hamill tease, but we do get Steve Wang in the director’s chair who bri...

200th Episode!!!! I'm still toweling off after the explosive love fest the cast had while covering Big Trouble in Little China. So so sticky. Anyways, it should come to no surprise that this is a favorite. It's weird, it's got monsters, kung-fu, guns, magic, sword fighting, I mean, what's not to like. This movie is THE BEST comfort food you could cinematically ingest. It's filling and you never get tired of the taste. Everyone seemed genuinely jealous that Pete got to see this in the theater unt...

Once a generation a film comes around that makes such an international impact on pop culture that one can't comprehend a world without it. The Wizard of Oz, Psycho, Jaws, The Godfather and Star Wars are all examples of films that have or will influence generations of creators and fans of the movie industry. We got two of these kind of films in the 90s. Jurassic Park and the Matrix are such pop culture phenomenon that it's inconceivable that we won't continue to see their fingerprints all over th...

I won't say horror was dead in 1996 but it clearly had become stale and good scares with compelling stories were hard to come by. Blame it on Tipper Gore and the Parental Advisory movement or the fact that Hollywood was more interested in making a quick buck off aging franchises, horror in the mid 90s was just...meh. Thankfully some kid at a horror convention insulted Wes Craven by saying he wasn't scary anymore. Craven said, "Hold my beer, kid," and Scream was born. The horror community owes Sc...

Sadly Anna was out sick and her shoulder wasn't available for Nate to cry on. Brian from Reviewing History returned to the show to sing the praises of the fictional epic featuring two of the most famous Indian folk heroes. Yes I said sing because this is a musical much to the trepidation of Charlie..until he watched it. Yes, somehow P...
