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 ...

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 give...

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...

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 a...

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 absol...

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.

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.

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! B...

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...

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".

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...

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.

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.

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 abou...

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 ...

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".

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,...

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.

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.

First we talk all about what we...
