Blood and Black Rum Podcast - A Cult Film / Horror Podcast

We"re two guys covering all kinds of cult films from horror to action and everything in between.

Some of our past and present coverage includes Halloween specials, series retrospectives, Difficult Films month, Red Hot "80s Action Summer, "90s remakes, and a lot more. It"s a pretty eclectic mix here, but if you"re into cult films and beer, this is the place to be.

2017/04/05

We've covered the original Ghost in the Shell anime, so it's only fair that we cover the new 2017 adaptation starring Scarlett Johansson. We talk briefly about whitewashing, how this live-action film measures up to the original, the huge amount of exposition forced onto the viewer, and how ScarJo looks in a body suit; plus, we discuss our new local brewery, Stump City Brewing.

Blood and Black Rum Podcast - A Cult Film / Horror... ·

2017/03/22

We cover another giallo on the Blood and Black Rum Podcast - or at least a giallo/Gothic hybrid. This film has it all - redheads, constantly naked women, a drafty castle, ghosts, double- and triple-crossings, and a female-on-female murder! The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave is a crazy film, but it's not perfect, and our two hosts disagree on a number of matters, making this episode an interesting listen.

2017/03/15

We continue our annual Leprechaun viewings for St. Patrick's Day with Leprechaun 2! This film is much better than the first, but it also feels like an adult Are You Afraid of the Dark? episode - we discuss how that's both good and bad. We also talk Warwick Davis, Michael McDonald, Guinness' new porters, and Catholic Lenten rules for St. Patrick's Day! Approximate timeline Intro: 0:00-14:00 Beer talk: 14:00-25:00 Leprechaun 2: 15:00 - 1:07:00 '90s music from the film: 1:07:00 - end Subscribe to us

Episode 58: Bill Paxton Tribute | TWISTER

Blood and Black Rum Podcast - A Cult Film / Horror... ·

2017/02/28

Due to the passing of Bill Paxton, we decided to postpone our next selected movie in order to do a tribute to the man with TWISTER! This film is best viewed through a nostalgia lens - while it doesn't hold up incredibly well, it's a fun movie for all the wrong reasons. Bad CGI, poor scripting, and unintentionally hilarious moments abound in this disaster flick co-written by Michael Crichton, and we break it down in detail - along with coverage of Saratoga Beer Fest!

2017/02/22

Blood and Black Rum Podcast returns to giallo films with What Have You Done to Solange?, a film about graphic sexual violence and abortion that is equally intriguing and confusing. We talk about the lack of Solange throughout most of the film, the soundtrack by Ennio Morricone, and the film's problematic issues with its theme. We also talk Harpoon Brewery's spring beer pack, films we're covering in the future, and male birth control! Approximate timeline 0:00-11:00 Introduction 11:00-20:00 - Beer

Blood and Black Rum Podcast - A Cult Film / Horror... ·

2017/02/15

It's the series finale of the Death Wish Series! We're talking Death Wish V: The Face of Death, a sad conclusion to the franchise that finds Charles Bronson looking old, feeble, and defeated. The film itself is a mess, probably the worst of the series with lackluster action sequences and some really stupid ideas like a remote control soccer ball and an Irish mafioso with Italian henchmen. Still, we have fun talking about the ridiculous scenarios and Sam Adams' new recipe for Rebel IPA. Approximate

2017/01/30

In the fourth installment of our Death Wish Series, we take on the incredibly 80s-set Death Wish 4: The Crackdown - if the cocaine doesn't define it, then the roller rinks and arcades will. This is, per Ryne, a "stupid" film, but it's easy to see why it's also quite enjoyable: ridiculous action scenes make up about 70% of the film and it has the feel of a video game where Paul Kersey continually gets mission objectives from his boss. We also talk about Genesee's Bock Beer, the use of rape within

2017/01/24

In this episode, we continue our Death Wish series with Death Wish 3. This sequel takes things even less seriously than before, to the point where we question if this is meant to be a tongue-in-cheek action film. We discuss the multiple car explosions, the main villain's ridiculous hair, the alt-right stance on vigilantism, and Brown's Chasing Suns Double IPA!

2017/01/16

Blood and Black Rum Podcast continues their Death Wish Series with Death Wish II, a film that basically reboots the premise of the original. We talk about the lack of direction in this sequel, the off-kilter tone and music score, and the poor thematic representation of vigilantism. We also cover Brown's Brewery beer and more!

2017/01/12

It's the beginning of our DEATH WISH series, and this marks a new twist on Blood and Black Rum Podcast - Martin leads this episode, and the subsequent episodes in the series! We tackle Death Wish, a film starring Charles Bronson as a vigilante against crime in NYC after his wife is murdered and his daughter raped by thugs (including one of our favorites, Jeff Goldblum). We talk about the nature of the film's premise - of fighting back with gunplay - and also discuss the political and societal

In this dual episode, we take a look back at 2016 to discuss some of our episodes as well as the new films that we covered. You can find this discussion in part 1 of the podcast, from 0:00-35:00. In the interlude, we talk about the beer we're drinking on the podcast - this time, it's Sam Adams' new Hopscape, a wheat pale ale that tastes fairly similar to their Rebel IPA. Skip to 35:04-44:00 for that. In part 2, we discuss the film in question: Don Coscarelli's Bubba Ho-Tep, a film about Elvis,

2016/12/29

Our final Festivus Series episode was a secret, but now it's revealed - we're doing Die Hard, the greatest Christmas movie ever. In this episode, we give reasons why this technically is a Christmas movie, talk about how the film has held up over time, discuss our favorite Bruce Willis movies, drink some New Belgium beer, and get into a tete a tete over the film's lengthy exposition scenes. Oh yeah, we also rank Family Matters and Full House, offering Netflix a new original series: Familier

Finally we get to finish our original Vacation series along with continuing our Festivus Series for the holidays. We started to cover all of the Vacation films way back at the beginning of our podcast, and now we end with National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. It's probably Ryne's favorite holiday film of all time, and it's up there for Martin as well. We talk our favorite scenes, the relatable element that makes this Vacation film stand out, and we sip on Rogue's Santa's Private Reserve Ale as well

2016/12/15

Our Festivus Series continues with a return to the Silent Night, Deadly Night Franchise: Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2. The film is basically a recap of the original with some new footage thrown in involving Billy's brother Ricky, and in general terms no one would ever think this is a good film. But from a comical perspective, Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 is pure genius, a hilariously bad horror movie that features Eric Freeman in a defining roll. We also talk about Dread Central's new move

The first episode of our holiday Festivus Series is Krampus, Michael Dougherty's 2015 horror film featuring the evil shadow of St. Nicholas. On the 'cast we discuss Adam Scott's sweaters, Old Milwaukee beer, Black Christmas' domination of the Christmas horror genre, and even get into Dougherty's other film Trick 'r Treat a little bit! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/message Support this podcast:

2016/11/24

We continue our tradition of seeing every new superhero film with Doctor Strange, which is a very good film that unfortunately suffers from some distinct flaws - ones that have become more prevalent as Marvel's superhero origin stories continue. We talk about Cumberbatch, the stereotypical origin plotting, the graphics, and the controversy over the Ancient One's race! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/message Support this podcast:

2016/11/16

Now that we're done with our Halloween Series, we thought we'd take the podcast in a different direction: dumb comedy. And what's more topical than Idiocracy, the 2006 Mike Judge film that blatantly mocks the increasing stupidity of humanity and makes some scarily accurate predictions about our future. So this episode gets kind of political; it also attempts to see both the social and political commentary within the film. But since we're also irreverent, we talk about Sierra Nevada's winter 12-pack

2016/11/10

Our final episode of the Halloween Series is here - only two weeks after Halloween ended! In this look at Saw 3D/Saw VII/Saw: The Final Chapter and anything else you want to call it, we talk about just how messy this franchise has gotten in its final trilogy. Saw 3D is the pinnacle of this messiness, the film that loses all connection to what the original Saw began. We also briefly touch on the horrors of the American election (so if you're not a Libtard like us, you may want to skip that and/or our

Episode 43: Halloween Series (6) SAW VI

2016/11/03

Our penultimate episode of the Halloween Series airs a couple days after Halloween, but that doesn't mean we can't keep the celebration going. We're talking SAW VI, the next-to-last entry in the series! We didn't like it all that much, because the plots get messier, the flashbacks get more abundant, and the traps become less about the players and more about how Jigsaw was denied something from them. We're also talking Brooklyn Octoberfest, Saranac, and more! --- Send in a voice message:

Episode 42: Halloween Series (5) SAW V

Blood and Black Rum Podcast - A Cult Film / Horror... ·

2016/10/27

Our fifth episode in the Halloween Series tackles Saw V, which we found to be a rather unnecessary installment of the franchise. Martin even called it a complete waste of time, ranking it a 4 out of 10 and labeling it the worst of the Saw films so far. Besides that stinker of a film, we also talk about The Walking Dead's new season premiere, take a quick look at Ash vs Evil Dead's second season, and talk about Guinness' new Rye Pale Ale.
