Bring Me The Axe! Horror Podcast

Bryan and David White

Bring Me the Axe is a comedy podcast celebrating the best (and worst) horror from a time when the video store ruled the night. Every other week, brothers Bryan and Dave White (and the occasional guest) heed the call of nostalgia and evaluate the classic 70s and 80s horror movies they loved in their childhood to determine whether the movies are still relevant today or should be allowed to fade into obscurity.

99CR 10: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Bring Me The Axe! Horror Podcast ·

2024/04/22

This week Bryan and Dave are joined by Aileen Clark of the Uy Que Horror podcast to take a trip back in time to 1990 when Turtlemania ruled the preteen scene. We explore the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles phenomenon through the lens of Steve Barron's bizarre adaptation that struck closer to the dark indie turtles comics of the mid-80's than the colorful pizza-obsessed party dudes of Saturday morning cartoons. Does the movie hold up to modern scrutiny? Well, not exactly, but it's a

40: Re-Animator

Bring Me The Axe! Horror Podcast ·

2024/04/15

This week, Dave and Bryan take a good long look at the gory 80's horror comedy classic, Re-Animator from director Stuart Gordon and producer, Brian Yuzna. What they find is, unfortunately, not much more to talk about than what's right there on the surface and the unfortunately troubling sexual politics of a movie that's operating head and shoulders above its contemporaries as far as sophistication and a sense of humor goes. You also get a good deal of background on H.P. Lovecraft, to

2024/04/08

Alright, boppers! This week Bryan and Dave put one of their favorite movies under a microscope for a giant-sized 99 Cent Rental episode about Walter Hill's 1979 gang odyssey, The Warriors. Few movies made as much of an impact on the exploitation market at The Warriors and fewer still impacted the rental market with such an iconic poster and rental box. In its day its marketing was driven by public outrage over gang violence at the movies but how much of that was true? We go over all of it. Can

39: The Brood

Bring Me The Axe! Horror Podcast ·

2024/04/01

This week Bryan and Dave take in David Cronenberg's digest of divorce horror, The Brood. Samantha Eggar spawns killer munchkins, Art Hindle isn't very good at anything he does, Oliver Reed is a condescending jerk. It's a movie possessed of a terrible anger and frustration as Cronenberg, emotionally exhausted and unable to process his feelings put it all on the page and the result is the hard divorce horror movie that meant to spit in the face of Kramer vs. Kramer. Not for the faint of

2024/03/25

This week, Bryan and Dave are ready for their close-up as they address a listener request to explore Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard through the lens of horror and cult and, well, they don't exactly pull it off but they do turn in a deep dive into Hollywood's silent era, the golden age of sound, and how it manages to keep up the fabulous illusion of fantasy with a ruthless stranglehold on every piece of machinery that surrounds it and supports it, including the very people that make it

38: The Funhouse

Bring Me The Axe! Horror Podcast ·

2024/03/18

This week Bryan and Dave take a look at the criminally underrated horror movie by Tobe Hooper, The Funhouse from 1981. Tobe Hooper caught everyone's attention with the absolutely legendary horror movie, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and continued to toy with the tropes established in that movie through his other killer hillbilly movie, Eaten Alive, and straight into this one when he finally seems to get it all out of his system. Universal Pictures at the time, with their own legacy of classic

This week Dave and Bryan take a look at Allan Arkush's follow up to Rock n Roll High School, the rock musical Looney Tunes mayhem of Get Crazy. It's a story of three filmmakers butting heads over the movie they were trying to make. Arkush intended for a nostalgia-drenched tribute to his teenage years at The Fillmore East in the style of Scorcese's The Last Waltz, the producer wanted a fast and stupid visual comedy in the style of Airplane! and the Executive Producer wanted a movie that

2024/03/04

Bryan and Dave take a good long look at Fred Dekker's 1986 cult favorite, Night of the Creeps and come away with a vastly different view of it than when they watched it as kids. What could possibly change their minds so significantly? It's a pastiche of 50's and 60's drive in tropes filtered through a 1980's horror movie lens but unfortunately, given the way things have shaken out in modern times, some of those tropes haven't aged well at all. Thankfully, Tom Atkins is here

2024/02/26

Bryan and Dave get ready to break the ice and take a trip back to 1986 to relive BMX madness in the form of Rad, a sports movie that fails on every front and still manages to command a significant cult movie presence in history. It's the story of Cru Jones, a small-town kid with a dream who just need one chance to prove to the world that he's best BMX rider in the world, to prove that he's rad. Fortunately, the world is ready to just hand over the glory as he doesn't really have to

2024/02/19

Bryan and Dave celebrate one year of podcasting with a real deep dive into George Romero's paradigm shifting zombie epic, Dawn of the Dead. In the history of horror movies, there are only a few movies that changed the way movies are made and viewed and this is one of them. It's a zombie survival fantasy set in shopping mall with wild shifts in tone that don't always work and a graphic violence about it that its contemporaries did not share. After this one came out, everybody in Italy was

Listen up, hosers! Dave and Bryan love you and have sent you this Valentine's Day love letter to 1981's Canadian slasher movie classic, My Bloody Valentine. It's better than you expect it to be, with a cast of people that you actually grow to like. Sure, it's another slice and dice picture from the golden age of slashers but not too many of them paid this much attention to the craft of telling a story. How does this movie hold up to modern standards? You're going to have to

This week, Dave and Bryan celebrate Black History Month with a look at Bill Gunn's delirious 1973 vampire movie, Ganja & Hess, which stars Gunn, Marlene Clark, and Duane Jones from Night of the Living Dead. It's a sleepy, dreamy art film about black identity, gender, class, and the loneliness of a man without ancestry as damaged people deal with themes of blackness in America through the gauzy lens of a vampire movie. Often lumped in with blaxploitation movies like Blacula and Shaft, it

Dave and Bryan take a look at a staple of the cult movie circuit, Brian De Palma's bizarre pop music opera and riff on gothic horror, Phantom of the Paradise. It's a wild ride through the nostalgia wave of the 1970's, standout performances from a bright cast, and the music of the movie's villain, Paul Williams, whose hair is just magnificent!

It's an awesome movie that could have been even better for reasons we get deep in the weeds over.

This week Bryan and Dave take a trip to Baltimore for a look at John Waters' transitional picture, Polyester, bridging the gap between his combative, confrontational midnight shockers of the 1970s and his commercial breakthrough in the 1980s. This tour de force let the world know that Divine was more than just an art terrorist in drag but a real, capable comedic actor. When it comes to Polyester, it's the best of both worlds for John Waters fans: An overwrought domestic melodrama in the

This week Bryan and Dave kick off the new year and hit peak holiday horror movie burnout when they go deep with the 1980 slasher movie, New Year's Evil. Cannon Group wasn't exactly known for horror movies and it'll take them a few years before they work it out but these nascent attempts to get a piece of the action during the golden age of the slasher turned out some really weird misfires and New Year's Evil is leading the charge. More like a giallo than anything else, it seems to
