Bravo for the B-side Podcast

Lords of Misrule Productions

B movies are what we love at Bravo for the B-side. Here we dissect B movies, from the earnest efforts and studio-level quality films to the camcorder-based, utter amateur movies. After a beat by beat dissection of the movie we talk about what lesson(s) could be learned for beginning writers, directors, producers, actors, etc… We believe all films have a lesson.

Redwood Massacre: Annihilation – Episode 051

Bravo for the B-side Podcast ·

2020/10/06

BURLAP LIVES! A masterful sequel, Redwood Massacre: Annihilation brings back Burlap, the best slasher-killer to hit the scene in a good long while. We go about this episode differently, we don’t dissect the entire film so that you can enjoy all of the moments unspoiled. We do dive deep into the technical mastery that David Ryan Keith brings to all of his work. We love this sequel and hope you will listen and watch or buy the movie. Redwood Massacre: Annihilation will be out October 20, 2020 and

Bravo for the B-side Podcast ·

2020/09/29

We have David Ryan Keith returning to the show to talk to us about the upcoming Redwood Massacre: Annihilation, which hits VOD/DVD on October 20. It is our best talk yet.

Manborg – Episode 049

Bravo for the B-side Podcast ·

2020/09/22

For the first time we have some disagreement on the merits of a film. Manborg is an ambitious effort that has a lot of plusses, but for Jim there are some heavy minuses. Dubbed a “green screen” movie, where the backgrounds and sets are entirely green screen, this micro-budget film is worth a look so you can judge for yourselves. Manborg can be found on Amazon Video.

Muse – Episode 048

Bravo for the B-side Podcast ·

2020/09/15

A delightful find, Muse is a horror thriller that has a lot going for it. We talk about the straightforward story, writing, beautifully composed shots, excellent use of lighting, and more. There are a lot of fantastic examples in this movie to take away for everyone. Well worth watching. Muse can be found on Tubi.

Ahhh! Zombies – Episode 047

Bravo for the B-side Podcast ·

2020/09/08

It’s fun and a lot of people have not seen it, and they need to. Ahhhhh! Zombies is a horror comedy that delivers a magnificent take on zombie films. We talk about quite a few great lessons to take away from this film. We also talk again about pushing through this tough time to unleash your creative force. Ahhhh! Zombies can be found on Amazon Video.

Clerks – Episode 046

Bravo for the B-side Podcast ·

2020/09/01

We’ve waited long enough. We are finally covering Clerks, the cornerstone film by Kevin Smith that launched the View Askew universe, and a 26 year career in filmmaking that is still going. We talk about this wonderful movie, break down some excellent moments, and go over some important lessons that can be learned from this pillar of indie film. How it was shot, camera work, dialogue, all things that can serve as an example or inspiration for filmmakers at all levels. Clerks can be found just

Blood Hunters – Episode 045

Bravo for the B-side Podcast ·

2020/08/25

We tackle Blood Hunters in this episode. A low-budget horror that unfortunately falls short on horror, story, plot, and sensibility. We dissect this mess of missed opportunities and dive into some important lessons. Story, plot lines, character development, and the outdated use of jump-scares and why filmmakers need to stop using them are a few things we touch on. We were hoping for a good and fun horror. We were given a boring, disjointed, annoyingly sloppy mess. Blood Hunters can be found on

Ryan Kruger Interview – Episode 044

Bravo for the B-side Podcast ·

2020/08/18

We talk with South African director/writer Ryan Kruger. Known for his kick-ass music videos over the past ten years, Ryan talks a little with us about Fried Barry, his first feature film. Currently making its rounds at festivals, and preliminary release date of January 2021, Fried Barry looks like the indie/b-movie we need. Ryan gives some fantastic career advice, shares some fantastic stories, and shares news on the Fried Barry action figure! See the trailer for Fried Barry below. Check film

Dead 7 – Episode 043

Bravo for the B-side Podcast ·

2020/08/11

It’s our first coverage of an The Asylum Films movie for the podcast. Dead 7 is a post-apocalyptic zombie western, filled with aging Boy Band members. Written by Nick Carter, we see why The Asylum has done so well with their B-movie formula all of these years. Filled with plot holes and bewildering location cuts, it’s actually not as bad in those areas as some A-List movies out there. We talk about the Asylum formula, b-movies, and why a director might want to pick up a project like this from a

Attack of the Moon Zombies – Episode 042

Bravo for the B-side Podcast ·

2020/08/04

This love letter to Schlock Sci-Fi is a treat for everyone. Attack of the Moon Zombies is a throwback salute to those sci-fi films of the 50’s that launched the genre. It excels as a throwback homage movie as well as a satirical take on schlock. With our daughter returning to guest host we dissect this delightful movie and run through some lessons that make filmmaking fun, and the importance of egg cartons in science fiction. Attack of the Moon Zombies can be found on Amazon Video.

Guns Akimbo – Episode 041

Bravo for the B-side Podcast ·

2020/07/28

This movie from New Zealand saw a very limited release in the U.S. Guns Akimbo is a wild, fun, and loud ride. The plot is ridiculous which makes it all the more fun. Daniel Radcliffe shows us once again that is made for wild, crazy, outrageous roles, and that he can nail them like no one else. With a massive amount of lessons for filmmakers, Guns Akimbo is a delight for the viewer and for those looking for inspiration for technical excellence. Guns Akimbo can be found on Amazon Video.

Danger Close – Episode 040

Bravo for the B-side Podcast ·

2020/07/21

This Australian film never saw a release in the US, but it should have. Danger Close tells the story of the Battle of Long Tan in Viet Nam. A true story with excellent portrayals, it is not to be missed. We talk about the technical aspects, which are superior, and the importance of the need for stories that have that human spark in them. We stray from movie lessons and get into some deep philosophical topics. You should see this movie, and more importantly you should listen to this episode and do

Don’t miss this fun chat, and at the end learn how sweet Liam was in speaking to our daughter after the interview.

Attack of the Herbals – Episode 038

Bravo for the B-side Podcast ·

2020/07/07

An early film by David Ryan Keith and Liam Matheson, Attack of the Herbals is a horror comedy that delivers on many levels. Very low budget but fun and technically proficient, this movie sets a standard for indie film excellence. With our daughter as a special guest we tackle this film’s humor, great direction, and so much more. An undervalued gem, this movie should be cult status. Attack of the Herbals is free on Clear Focus Movies’

Interview with Barney Burman – Episode 037

Bravo for the B-side Podcast ·

2020/06/30

We have the honor of speaking Barney Burman, Oscar Winner for Best Cinematic Makeup for Star Trek in 2009, writer/director/producer of Wild Boar, and make-up effects master for decades’ worth of television and movies. Barney shares not only his experiences in filmmaking, but also how his self-doubt held him back until he finally overcame it. Some great inspiration and movie making lessons from a true legend of Hollywood.

Wild Boar – Episode 036

Bravo for the B-side Podcast ·

2020/06/23

In this episode we embrace Wild Boar. Given to us as a screener prior to its release, this film by Oscar Winner Barney Burman, legendary make-up effects master, is a fast and fun ride in horror. Needless to say the makeup is top notch, but there is no disappointment in blood and gore. We talk about this particular kind of setting, which we call Grit Horror, the excellent editing, and excellent sound. Also discussed is the importance of sound equipment over camera, and how fun these kinds of horror

Tucky Williams Interview – Episode 035

Bravo for the B-side Podcast ·

2020/06/16

Join us for a fantastic talk with Tucky Williams. Actor/Director/Writer/Producer, creator and star of Girl/Girl Scene, victorious online troll fighter, gay rights advocate, and probably the nicest, sweetest person you’ll ever meet. We talk filmmaking, the fight against trolls and Amazon, and how the word lesbian is still associated with sexual fantasies and porn, rather than just a descriptor of a person’s sexual preference. We loved this chat with her, and we’re sure you will too. You can watch

Girl/Girl Scene – Episode 034

Bravo for the B-side Podcast ·

2020/06/09

We start Pride Month talking about this great 80’s homage movie, Girl/Girl Scene, spawned from a successful web series of the same name. Following a group of friends we take a nostalgic run through what made 80’s friend films so great, including a very 80’s VCR look. Because the characters are lesbians this movie took a huge hit from bigoted trolls, but writer/director Tucky Williams did not stand for it. We talk about not just this fun movie but also how bigots got it knocked off of Amazon, and how

Killer Sofa – Episode 032

Bravo for the B-side Podcast ·

2020/05/26

We were looking forward to this movie for a while. However, Killer Sofa left us flat. A premise that looked so fun and wacky was buried beneath some terrible writing and bad direction choices. We talk about these poor choices, among them forgetting the benefits of simple storytelling. Later we talk about the unsettling chair scene and compare it to our bed purchase a couple of years ago. Killer Sofa is on Amazon Video.
