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 19: Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah

Bring Me The Axe! Horror Podcast ·

2024/09/09

We close out our two part examination of the Godzilla/King Ghidorah beef with a close look at the Heisei era movie where Americans from the future presume to travel back in time and destroy Japan with a monstrous weapon and then force what's left over to conform to their political and economic interests. This time around the America/Japan relationship is bopped real hard on the nose. We also discuss the cultural and social conditions of Japan at the time which made American attitudes toward

51: Scream w/guests Ash Kelley and Alaina Urquhart

Bring Me The Axe! Horror Podcast ·

2024/09/02

We are joined once again by our friends Ash Kelley and Alaina Urquhart from Morbid to break down and diagram the greatest slasher movie of the 90's, one of the greatest horror movies of all time, Scream. It's a rare treat when a director comes along and changes the direction of an entire genre but to do it once a decade starting in the 1970's? Unheard of. And yet, Wes Craven pulled it off. Adapted from a dynamite script, written in a marathon writing session of days rather than weeks or

99CR 18: Ghidorah, The Three-Headed Monster

Bring Me The Axe! Horror Podcast ·

2024/08/26

Join us this week as we take a trip to Japan to talk Godzilla. This is the movie that introduced the world to Godzilla's arch-nemesis, Ghidorah, the floppiest golden dragon the world has ever seen. We also get short changed on Mothra, are delighted by those little fairy ladies who summon her, and can't help but talk shit about Rodan, one of the least compelling Godzilla monsters out there. You'll learn about Kaiju, Bryan will struggle to pronounce some Japanese words, and we'll tell

2024/08/19

Celebrate 50 episodes of scares, questionable taste, and Simpsons references with us as we put the lotion in the basket for a giant-sized analysis of one of the most titanic horror movies of the 1990's or maybe even of all time as we break down Jonathan Demme's iconic The Silence of the Lambs. We're all about Ted Levine's Buffalo Bill, Jodie Foster's Clarice Starling, and Sir Anthony Hopkins's Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter. We air out some grievances, talk Thomas

Bring Me The Axe! Horror Podcast ·

2024/08/12

This week, Bryan and Dave are joined by Jonny Atkinson of Uy Que Horror to talk He-Man as they take a real deep dive into the movie that drove the final nail into the Cannon Group's coffin, Masters of the Universe. We discuss the movie's enduring status as a cult film against all odds, the intense nostalgia high of a movie that seems to have gotten better with age, the utterly bonkers history of the Cannon Group, a production company that flew too close to the sun, as well as run down the

49: I Know What You Did Last Summer

Bring Me The Axe! Horror Podcast ·

2024/08/05

This week, Bryan and Dave face down the blandest notions of the 1990's with I Know What You Did Last Summer, ostensibly the first of the craven 90's Scream cash-ins, written and produced by Scream's very own Kevin Williamson. It's a movie that really takes its sweet time getting around to the mystery where four beautiful 90's young people, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Ryan Phillipe make every possible bad decision and deal with the

Bring Me The Axe! Horror Podcast ·

2024/07/29

Bryan and Dave conclude their John Carpenter double feature with a look at his first proper feature, Assault on Precinct 13 a movie so egregiously ripped off by other action movies that it hardly matters that Carpenter ripped it off of other action movies. Seeking to make a proper western in the style of his favorite Howard Hawks movies but pressed by budget, Carpenter lifted moves from his then brand-new Escape From New York script with Nick Castle and turned in the independent action movie that

Bring Me The Axe! Horror Podcast ·

2024/07/22

This week Bryan and Dave go long on one of their shared favorites, John Carpenter's first fertile footsteps into the 1980's, the decade that would come to define his entire career and he couldn't have made a bolder announcement of his arrival than with this subdued ghost story, told in the old campfire tales. It's equal parts gothic spooks and EC Comics style ghoulish horror, a tale of revenge from beyond the grave, ghost sailors return from the briny deep to have their payback for a

99CR 15: Crash

Bring Me The Axe! Horror Podcast ·

2024/07/15

This week we're getting sloppy and erotic as we break down David Cronenberg's 1996 antithesis to the 90's erotic thriller, Crash, a movie about how people can't get off unless they're about to die horribly in a car accident. Adapted from J.G. Ballard's 1973 novel of the same name, which was an extension of his short story in the collection The Atrocity Exhibition, the film stars James Spader doing his best to look like making sweet, sweet love to a woman's leg wound is

47: Return of the Living Dead

Bring Me The Axe! Horror Podcast ·

2024/07/08

This week, Bryan and Dave ask the question that's on everyone's mind: Do you wanna party? Return of the Living Dead, the movie that changed the rules of the zombie movie game is a perfect time capsule of America in the 80's and it has a killer soundtrack to glue it all together. It's one part EC horror comic and one part paranoid Libertarian fantasy of a colossal government fuck up cooked up from the center of Dan O'Bannon's mind. Hear all about it in this deep dive of one of

99CR 14: Angel

Bring Me The Axe! Horror Podcast ·

2024/07/01

This week, Bryan and Dave get real sleazy with it and take a good long look at Angel, from 1984. Starring Donna Wilkes and a cast of wild character actors, including Susan Tyrrell in her second appearance on their podcast, Angel sets out to be a grimy exploitation movie that casts the seedy underbelly of the Hollywood Boulevard nightlife against the hard neon glow of the Los Angeles dream factory but it's a movie so in love with its oddball weirdo characters that it seems to struggle against the

2024/06/24

Bryan and Dave are joined by Tyler Hyde, co-host of the That's Spooky podcast to close out their 2024 Pride series and talk about James Whale's 1935 Magnum Opus, Bride of Frankenstein. It's an absolutely gonzo gothic horror from the dawn of the talkies featuring more thrills and excitement in one of the earliest sequels that somehow manages to end up a better movie than the original. Bride of Frankenstein is a high-energy affair packed with unbelievable characters and performances from

2024/06/17

It's astounding! Time is fleeting! For the third week of their Pride 2024 series, Bryan and Dave take a look at the notoriously queer-as-hell midnight movie sensation, perhaps the greatest midnight movie of all time, The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It's an episode packed with everything you could ever want to know about the phenomenon, the audience participation, the movie and the social experience as a haven for LGBTQ+ people who may not have found their tribe yet. It's also a movie

2024/06/10

Pride 2024 continues apace as Bryan and Dave take a real deep dive into Robert Wise's unimpeachable horror movie classic, The Haunting. It's a foundational piece of horror and one of the finest haunted house movies ever made with a thousand ways to interpret it including a very particular queer read which places it firmly in the queer horror canon. Come for the horror movie discussion, stay for the discussion on representation and learn about Shirley Jackson, one of the greatest gothic

Bring Me The Axe! Horror Podcast ·

2024/06/03

Bryan and Dave kick off their 2024 Pride series by settling in for some QUEER VENGEANCE, Canada style! Siege is a by-the-numbers riff on Assault on Precinct 13 which makes one wonder, did Siege director Paul Donovan also watch Cruising at the same time? The movie pits a desperate struggle to survive the night against the 1981 Halifax police strike and despite it being such an obvious derivative of another movie, taking full advantage of the Canadian film tax shelter era, it's a solid action

2024/05/27

This week Dave and Bryan take their first steps into the 1990's and go deep with a real hard look at The Blair Witch Project. Joining them on this trek through the forest is Ash Kelley and Alaina Urquhart from the Morbid Podcast. Though, not the first found-footage horror movie, Blair Witch is definitely the one that convinced budding indie horror directors that yes, they too could make a horror movie on very little money. Dave and Bryan struggle to understand the appeal while Ash and Alaina do

2024/05/20

This Week, Bryan and Dave put the brakes on to talk about Roger Corman, one of the most important filmmakers in the history of pop cinema and the genres, most notably horror and science fiction. He died at age 98 on May 9, 2024 and left behind a legacy of nearly 500 films which bear his name in one way or another. Bring Me The Axe picks 4 movies of Corman's that are formative horror movie experiences and enduring favorites. Hear all about A Bucket of Blood, House of Usher, The Raven, and Death

Bring Me The Axe! Horror Podcast ·

2024/05/13

This week Bryan and Dave take a look at John Carl Buechler's swing-and-a-miss for the Charles Band dynasty, Troll. It's supposed to be filled with whimsy, adventure, and high-fantasy but is instead filled with crappy rubber monsters and cringe-inducing performances by actors tenured enough to know better by this point. Noah Hathaway casually throws away any goodwill he earned with his portrayal of Atreyu in The Neverending Story. Michael Moriarty seems to have no idea what he's even

2024/05/06

This week, Dave and Bryan are joined by Jeffrey Nelson, co-creator of the Scream Factory label for Shout Factory, to talk about the utterly unhinged Charles Bronson detective movie, 10 To Midnight. It's the tale of a cop, a father, his bleeding heart liberal, college-educated partner, and a serial killer whose nude and on the loose. Bronson could catch his man if it weren't for all the sleazy lawyers and liberal courts who want to coddle the criminal element instead of punish them

2024/04/29

This week, Bryan and Dave take a trip back to 1986 for the Rutger Hauer/C. Thomas Howell horror movie road trip, The Hitcher, from the murderous, deeply troubled writer, Eric Red. Dave struggles with modern re-evaluations that attempt to claim The Hitcher as some sort of queer horror hidden gem and Bryan has to do a lot of heavy lifting to fill in the movie's massive narrative gaps in order to make it a movie worth watching. Is the movie's imperiled hero Jim Halsey dead this whole time? Is
