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.

105: Night School

Bring Me The Axe! Horror Podcast ·

2026/04/20

This week we're bringing it home to Boston for a look at the 1981 slasher movie also-ran. Night School. Similar to the many, many slasher movies that dropped that year, Night School struggles to commit to the stalk and slash body count mayhem that was dominating box offices and instead lands closer, remarkably closer to an Italian giallo. When it's not shamelessly stepping on Psycho's toes it reminds us a little too much of What Have You Done To Solange and What Have They Done To Your Daughters

Bring Me The Axe! Horror Podcast ·

2026/04/13

This week we take a look at what is arguably Godfrey Ho's magnum opus as far as that director can have such a thing. We're watching Ninja Terminator from 1986, just one of scores of cheap, trashy martial arts movies made in the 1980s by Godfrey Ho in order to capitalize on the western appetite for all things ninja. Ho is famous for a technique of cut and paste filmmaking where he would cut out all the good parts of an Asian action movie, shoot some wraparound footage with western actors, and dub the

2026/04/06

This week we're heading north to the 51st state of Canada for a listener request. It's Curtains, the 1983 slasher film from producer Peter Simpson who last brought you the smash hit Prom Night. Directed (partially) by cinematographer Richard Ciupka, Curtains is a gigantic mess of a whodunnit that had ambitions to be a North American riff on the movies of Dario Argento and Mario Bava, an arty, very European approach to a violent murder mystery in the giallo style. Unfortunately, this was not what the

We're just full of surprises, aren't we? We're hitting you with a bonus episode for April Fool's Day where nothing is what it seems. Who can you trust? What's real? Is all of this just one big set up for an unexpected outcome? It's a listener request, no less, and Dave is just more than happy to take us through one of his favorite genre movies.

Bring Me The Axe! Horror Podcast ·

2026/03/30

This week we're joined by our friend Jon Lee Brody of the That Was Pretty Spooky podcast for a look at John Carpenter's last movie of the 1980s, They Live. In this evergreen social commentary, Carpenter presents a world very much like our own where the only class distinction is rich and poor and as it would turn out, the rich aren't even human. In They Live a homeless man with no name drifts into Los Angeles looking for work and stumbles into a conspiracy by an underground of the underclasses to

102: The Lost Boys w/guest Peaches Christ

Bring Me The Axe! Horror Podcast ·

2026/03/23

This week we're joined by the legendary drag queen Peaches Christ to talk about Joel Schumacher's landmark 1987 vampire movie, The Lost Boys, starring Jason Patric, Corey Haim, and Kiefer Sutherland. The Lost Boys marked a radical new direction for vampires that took Tony Scott's sexy goth approach in The Hunger and injected with the MTV sensibilities of late-80s teen culture. Paired with incredible night time photography and killer soundtrack, it is as close to perfect as a horror movie can get

Bring Me The Axe! Horror Podcast ·

2026/03/16

In this episode we look at the 1989 Jean Claude Van Damme movie that thrust JCVD into the limelight of 90's action movie super stars while simultaneously hammering the final nail into the Golan Globus coffin. At one time a Hollywood powerhouse, Cannon Films flew too close to the sun and found themselves undone by their own machinery. Cyborg was the ultimate result of this failure, a movie thrown together from the unused costumes and sets from unproduced movies. In the not-too distant future, mankind

Bring Me The Axe! Horror Podcast ·

2026/03/13

He's back! The man behind the mask! Friday the 13th is keeping us busy this year with two in two months and another on the way. This time we're taking a look at 1986's Jason Lives, the movie that canned the original plan to have Tommy Jarvis take up the machete and establishes Jason Voorhees as a lumbering, unstoppable killing machine from beyond the grave! In this movie Tommy Jarvis skips the mental hospital he's been confined at to return to Crystal Lake, since renamed to Forest Green in order

We're celebrating 100 episodes of Bring Me The Axe with a cool bottle of Cheerwine and our friend Halle Kiefer from the podcast Ruined for a look at one of the all-time greats in horror, William Friedkin's 1973 possession horror, The Exorcist. When Regan MacNeil, the 12 year old daaughter of movie star Chris MacNeil begins displaying strange, aggressive, and obscene behavior, her mother takes her to a parade of medical professionals to diagnose her problems. But when they fall short and her

2026/03/02

This week we're returning to Italy for a look at one of the dumbest, most baffling action movies ever made, Raiders of Atlantis, aka Atlantis Interceptors, from the notorious Ruggero Deodato of Cannibal Holocaust fame. In this film, a pair of mercenary buddies and a team of scientists from a botched attempt to raise a sunken Russian submarine find themselves stranded on a tropical island in the Atlantic as the feral, violent denizens of lost Atlantis arise from the silent depths of the ocean to

2026/02/23

Celebrate three years of Bring Me The Axe with us as we continue our annual tradition of a deep dive into the world of George A. Romero and his iconic living dead series. For our last two anniversaries we featured Dawn of the Dead and Night of the Living Dead so it only makes sense that close out year three with the highly divisive (and Bryan's favorite), Day of the Dead. Taking place late in the zombie plague, a motley crew of scientists and military take shelter in an underground bunker,

2026/02/16

This week our Black History Month series continues with a look at the 1974 blaxploitation martial arts mashup, Black Belt Jones, starring Jim Kelly and Gloria Hendry. Kelly was coming in hot off of his run in the legendary Bruce Lee movie, Enter The Dragon and with Bruce dead and a public appetite ravenous for more martial arts movies it just made sense to spin off one of its stars to their own martial arts movie. Hendry was coming in off her turn as a Bond girl in Live and Let Die and a string of

It's Friday the 13th and you know what that means! This Friday we're taking on 1985's great betrayal. They said they were done with The Final Chapter. The story was told. Jason was dead. No more Friday the 13th movies for you! But money moves all tides and you can't stop Jason Voorhees so they found a way to bring him back for one more, and one more, and one more.

YES! We're celebrating black horror for Black History month with a look at Rusty Cundieff's truly underrated horror anthology, Tales From The Hood. The film's stand-in for the Cryptkeeper, an unhinged mortician played full-tilt crazy by Clarence Williams III, guides three gangbangers through four tales of urban woe and in the process addresses police violence, domestic abuse, racism, and cycles of gang violence in a truly unexpected way. In Rogue Cop Revelation, a black police officer is haunted by

99CR 51: Death Wish 3

Bring Me The Axe! Horror Podcast ·

2026/02/02

This week we take a trip back to 1985 for a movie of such staggering stupidity that we can hardly believe it. Death Wish 3 is the continuing adventures of Paul Kersey, played by Charles Bronson and where the first movie is a pretty solid action movie and the second movie is dopey and mostly boring, Death Wish 3 commits to absurdity in a way that'll really make you think. It's a movie of such moronic prowess that the filmmakers had to go out of their way to achieve such heights of idiocy. See a crowd

2026/01/26

This week we're joined by actor, drag queen, and Debbie Harry fanatic, Love Connie, for a look at David Cronenberg's sexy and sadistic meditation on horror, television, and society: Videodrome. The early 1980s saw a revolution in consumer video. Small UHF stations broadcast trashy movies at night to compete with the larger VHF networks. VCRs and cable introduced theatrical films to the home market uncut for broadcast. Canadian media theorist, Marshall McLuhan, had some real deep thoughts on what

2026/01/19

In this episode we take a trip to Italy for a look at Massimo Dellamano's 1972 giallo, What Have You Done To Solange? This Italian/German co-production was intended to capitalize on both the popularity of giallo in Italy and krimi in Germany, casting an array of English and German actors familiar to fans of krimi and Italian stars of the time for those who can't get enough giallo. A fairly grim entry into the canon, What Have You Done To Solange is a strong starting point for horror fans looking to

2026/01/12

This week we're taking a trip back to 1986 for a look at Jim Wynorski's sleazy switcheroo, Chopping Mall. With a poster meant to make you think you were getting some kind of slasher movie in a mall, Chopping Mall is pretty light on chopping but positively lousy with mall. Featuring a baffling plot that could reasonably support 30 minutes of running time, some cool killer robots, an appropriate amount of T&A for a Jim Wynorski movie, and some fun performances by Barbara Crampton and Kelli Maroney,

This week we celebrate two years of 99 Cent Rental with one of the most enduring cult movies of the 80's. It's the breakdance epic from Cannon, Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo. When Cannon's million dollar dance movie pulled a huge profit in the summer of 1984, they rushed a sequel into production to capture the momentum and mere months later released Breakin' 2 with a bigger budget and a significantly smaller box office return. Breakdance fever was over but this outrageous, extremely colorful sequel
