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 m...

It's still October and we here at GBW are continuing our commitment to watch more horror movies than usual. This has both its upsides and definitely its downsides. Which you will learn all about. As promised last time out, we allowed Kenny Rogers to give us both some odd life lessons but we also watched nineteen other films including two "can't be much more different" retrospective big screen showings, Cirio H. Santiago bringing the ladies of the night, we inadvertently both visited the PET SEMA...

Beware the wrath of TLJ! If you try to run, he'll get you, especially if you're trying to take advantage of a obscure loophole law.

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! Tha...

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!

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

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 Roge...

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

Thanks for...

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

Maybe if we took a cue from one of our furry friends and snorted a bunch of power, some of the lesser films of the 18 we cover this time out might have turned out better.

You know, after a hard day of fighting off ravenous fish, ghosts and serial killers there's nothing more that us here at GBW want to do than relaxing gymnastics!

Can you believe it? We're 200! To celebrate this occasion we've brought in a special guest: Uwe Boll. That's right, the legendary (in more ways than one) director sat down with us to discuss his return to filmmaking with the police thriller First Shift , educated us on how he independently made over thirty films, speaks on his favourite gangster movies, told us about a meeting with Jean-Claude Van Damme and more from the good doctor. After our interview stick around as we talk about ten films we...

We're so hip to so many things. We're down with the sleaze, we dig the art deco, fringe jackets kick-ass and don't get us started on the splits!

There is definitely nothing even close to a theme in the twenty films we're talking about this episode but there's some pleasant surprises, we still wonder who actually likes Count Yorga and there is one moment of pure hatred. Things are kicked off right with a DIE HARD clone that's pretty rad, we look at Steve McQueen's final film, Damien Chazelle brings the Hollywood excess in BABYLON, there's some giant animals on the loose, a Nazi zombie causes havoc, we look at how mental health was handled...

There's a whole lot of ass-kicking going down this episode in amongst some tender drama and bowling ball boners. Yes, it's the off-beat mixture of movies you've come to expect from GBW - and we have 22 of them for you. We talk a handful of 2022 films (a couple which make our top tens), Charles Bronson and Nicholas Cage make an appearance, Michael Mann makes his directorial debut, Chris thinks calling Uwe Boll the "worst director ever" is not true, Josh polishes off the PSYCHO franchise, Joan Col...

When you've got it, you've got it, and in this episode we meet a handful of characters who do.

Amongst the sixteen films we cover this time there's a whole lot of ridiculousness on display. However, don't think we're saying that as a negative thing!

What other podcast can you hear your hosts talk about threesomes, parents hiring a clown to terrify their children and things being haphazardly tossed into space? This time out we bring you 20 films and, man, do they run the gamut.
