The B Movie Beatdown ·

2024/04/22

Glaze it, don't blaze it! Nah I'm just kidding, you know why we’re here. Happy 420! This episode comes out two days late, but we decided to do EVIL BONG anyways! In this hazy flick, four roommates buy a mysterious possessed bong and succumb to its power one by one. Grab a seat and share a toke as we puff puff pass our thoughts back and forth on this Tommy Chong-lead flick.

2024/04/15

It's your birthday! Let's go down to Willy's Wonderland and celebrate! Maybe if we're lucky, the animatronics won't eat us. This week's episode is all about the Nic Cage flick WILLY'S WONDERLAND. There's a lot to unpack here, so let's put our fun hats on and dive head first into this ball pit of murder, evisceration, and satanic rituals. Hooray!

2024/04/08

Joke time! What's long, hard, and full of seamen? You're wrong, it's a submarine! Like the one from this week's movie, IT CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA. From 1955, this will be our oldest movie yet. The real treat though, is all of the awesome special effects done by the legendary Ray Harryhausen. We talk about him, and loads of other stuff, so check it out!

2024/04/01

BLOCKBUSTER BEATDOWN?!? What's this nonsense? For April Fools this year, we've decided to bring you one of the biggest and most famous movies of all time, JURASSIC PARK. Is it low budget? No, not at all. Is it good? Yes, definitely. Do we tear it apart like a velociraptor? Not a chance. Check out this first episode of our new "high concept" segment to the show. Welcome to Jurassic Park!

Ep. 14 - Clerks (1994): Thirty seven is kind of a lot

The B Movie Beatdown ·

2024/03/25

We're not even supposed to be here today! Nah I'm just kidding, we're happy to be here. This week we did Kevin Smith's career making film, CLERKS. Made for a measly $27,000 dollars, we go over the ins and outs that make this low budget film a hit.

The B Movie Beatdown ·

2024/03/18

It's a hard ticket....TO HAWAAAAIIIIII! Sorry about that, it'll make more sense if you listen to the bitch'n theme song from this film. HARD TICKET TO HAWAII is the first film we've covered by Andy Sidaris. Also, it's our first guest episode! Our friend and yours Alicia, joins our discussion this week. So stick around if you want to hear us talk about intrusive thoughts, rocket guns, and what constitutes softcore pornog....again. There's lots to discuss, so check it out!

Ep. 12 - Hobo With a Shotgun(2011): It feels good to...

The B Movie Beatdown ·

2024/03/11

This one's a doozy! HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN is over the top in so many ways, but we just had to share this experience with you. I mean, we're talking executions in the street, excessive violence and gore, and... murder by ice skates? Really? Jesus Christ. All this and more as we dive head first into the mayhem. You’ve been warned. Also, The Plague rules.

The B Movie Beatdown ·

2024/03/04

Hey brother! This week is different for the B Movie beatdown. Well not really, but kind of. There's a twist I guess. Pete found this SHADOW WARRIORS episode between the couch cushions, we're pretty sure it's still good. Jordan found a quarter and an expired coupon. Anyways, it's our first Hulk Hogan movie, but more importantly it has the late great Carl Weathers.

The B Movie Beatdown ·

2024/02/26

The night he came home! That's right folks, this week we talk about 1978's John Carpenter's HALLOWEEN. This is the biggest movie we've covered yet. Highlights of our discussion include: leitmotifs, another quiz, and this film’s amazing ending. We also dip our toes into Jordan's childhood trauma and villainous origin story, just a little bit though. Muy pequeño.

Ep. 9 - Mercenary Fighters (1988): Resting pissed face

The B Movie Beatdown ·

2024/02/19

Happy REBruary! See what I did there? This week we cover MERCENARY FIGHTERS. Our first Reb Brown movie! Somehow this flick has almost no presence on the internet, but we found plenty to talk about anyways. Oh yeah, the guy who played the Desk Sergeant in Robocop is in this, so that's pretty cool.

Ep. 8 - The Evil Dead (1981): Perfect. One note...

The B Movie Beatdown ·

2024/02/12

Joooooooiiiinnn Ussssss! I tried to say that in my best spooky voice. This one’s all about THE EVIL DEAD, Sam Raimi's breakout film. This week we’re talking deadites, gore, and....milk? Most importantly though, we go over why this seminal film is so influential, and what makes it so infamous….

Ep. 7 - Suspiria (1977): Not to be crass...

The B Movie Beatdown ·

2024/02/05

Witches! We think? This week's episode is about Dario Argento's classic supernatural horror flick, SUSPIRIA. We go behind the music and into the weeds with this one, mostly because the plot is wafer thin. Anyhoo, this movie has some fantastic and quite visceral scenes for us all to ruminate on. That being said, our personal opinions on the film might just surprise you…

Ep. 6 - Python (2000): You know what? F*** John.

The B Movie Beatdown ·

2024/01/29

We're back! What do The Karate Kid, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Star Trek all have in common? Absolutely nothing. Except maybe they all have actors starring in PYTHON. That's right, this week we're covering a movie about a giant snake. What's this?...supplemental material?!?! We also want to share director Richard Clabaugh’s blog about the film. We reference it heavily in the episode, and it's incredibly insightful: https://www.rclabaugh.com/python.html

Ep. 5 - Hercules in New York (1969): Arnie's ouvwah

The B Movie Beatdown ·

2024/01/22

Hercules Shmercules! Welcome back for our biggest episode yet! Well, our biggest star at least: HERCULES IN NEW YORK has one Arnold Schwarzenegger making his film debut, and what a debut it is! I mean, the guy fights a man in a bear costume...You can't miss it on The B Movie Beatdown!

Ep. 4 - Chopping Mall (1986): Send 'em a rambogram

The B Movie Beatdown ·

2024/01/15

Episode Four! What do you get when you take eight horny retail workers, lock them in a mall overnight, and killer robots try to hunt them down? You get CHOPPING MALL. We had a lot of fun with this one: it’s packed with thrills and kills and a cameo by the late great Dick Miller. It also does a good job at shamelessly advertising other B movies. You can’t miss this episode of the B Movie Beatdown!

Ep. 3 - Frankenhooker (1990): Misunderstood and unholy

The B Movie Beatdown ·

2024/01/08

Woah dude, episode three is here! This week we dip our toes into what may or may not be a Troma film? FRANKENHOOKER is a delightfully abstract take on Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. We go over NASCAR sponsorships, human anatomy, and what constitutes serial killer behavior. It's my favorite episode yet.

Ep. 2 - Troll 2 (1990): Munchin' the cob

The B Movie Beatdown ·

2024/01/01

Hey! You came back! Welcome to the B Movie Beatdown. This week Peter and Jordan talk about one of the most infamous B movies of all time, TROLL 2. Are there any actual trolls in Troll 2? Nope! We talk about vegetarians, The Kiss Army, and most importantly, underestimating the power of goodness and a bologna sandwich.
