Ep. 89 Space Mutiny (1988): The year of the Reb

The B Movie Beatdown ·

2025/10/14

Space! Reb Brown is back back back again and this time he's a completely average pilot who charms the pants off of everyone he meets (looking at you Lea) in SPACE MUTINY (1988)! There's a lot of good wrapped in this very b-movie sci-fi flick. You got mutineers, Battlestar Galactica footage, ridiculous bumper car chases and so much more to unpack. So get ready for some more of Reb's classic shouts as he single handedly saves the Southern Sun! Instagram: @bmoviebeatFacebook: The B Movie

Ep. 88 Bitch Slap (2009): Do it for Lucy

The B Movie Beatdown ·

2025/10/07

Woof! and not the good kind. We’re going to the 2000s again for what should have been an action packed bombshell bonanza with BITCH SLAP(2009)! What we got was a half-backed girlfight where every other scene was them smashing boxes. Some of the visuals were passable but the whole thing simply falls flat. So put on your mini dress and tape up your boobs cuz we’re painting the town red! I didn’t even mention the huge sci-fi gun. Instagram: @bmoviebeatFacebook: The B Movie BeatdownEmail:

Ep. 87 Robowar (1988): Wow! We all had the same score!

The B Movie Beatdown ·

2025/09/30

It's Predator Baby! Wait, no it's not. It's Bruno Mattei's copycat film ROBOWAR (1988)! Reb Brown is embodying Dutch as he leads a group of BAM commandos through the jungle while a cyborg hunts them from the shadows. I'll let you figure out what BAM means as we rip into this one.

The B Movie Beatdown ·

2025/09/16

We struck gold! This week we had the pleasure of taking out a few Nazis with SISU (2022). There tons of blood and gore, and sick kills, and the main dude lights himself on fire. Pretty cool right? So come back to 1944 with us, we’ll clobber some Nazis, do a quick little jaunt through Lapland, and it'll be more fun than you can shake a stick at!

Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to Violence! Get ready to drive, jive and survive with Russ Meyer’s cult classic FASTER PUSSYCAT! KILL! KILL! (1965). Three go-go dancers go-go rogue in the California desert driving fast cars, judo chopping necks and using all that sass to get their way. Grab your switchblades and get ready to get down and dirty!

Somebody Poisoned the Water Supply! Uncle Jesse is in over his head in this one as he tries to stop the evil and apocalyptic Gene Simmons in NEVER TOO YOUNG TO DIE (1986). This action movie is part James Bond, part Mad Max and part Beverly Hills 90210. Get ready for some questionable relationships, ridiculous shootouts and some obvious stunt doubles. Let’s see if it sticks the landing. Instagram: @bmoviebeatFacebook: The B Movie BeatdownEmail: thebmoviebeatdown@gmail.com Letterboxd:

Calcinator! Okay, that might not be what little Timmy is called, but I do know Sven-Ole Thorsen plays a big dude named Suc On Dis and Jesse Ventura is ABRAXAS, GUARDIAN OF THE PLANET (1990)! This is the sci-fi action flick about the one that got away and the child whose father only wants to find him. So braid your rat tails, and buckle up!

Someone get the TUMS! This week a gaggle of hungry alien balls have crash landed in Midwestern America for CRITTERS (1986)! These adorable monsters will eat you out of house and home, and then eat you while laughing at your crying family. Expect poison darts, firecrackers, and some face morphing bounty hunters, and if all that doesn’t stroke your goat we even have a young Billy Zane.

Hey guys, So no Tremors 2 this week unfortunately. You can blame Jordan, It's 100% his fault and he will be punished accordingly. I'm not sure what we have in store for him, but he said something about shackles...or a wheel of pain... Anyhoo, hopefully this audio explains things better. Instead of an episode this week, why don't you send us movies you'd like to see us cover. So reach out to us with your suggestions! Instagram: @bmoviebeatFacebook: The B Movie BeatdownEmail:

Ep. 80 Halloween II (1981): It's pronounced Samhain

The B Movie Beatdown ·

2025/08/05

The Boogieman is Back! For this week's Summer of Sequels, we’re headed back to Haddonfield where the action picks up right where it left off with HALLOWEEN II (1981). Michael’s night isn’t over, and he’s creatively carving his way through a mostly abandoned hospital. Laurie’s on bed rest, and Doctor Loomis is waving his gun around like a mad man. That sounds stressful, I’m gonna go relax in the hot tub. Instagram: @bmoviebeatFacebook: The B Movie BeatdownEmail: thebmoviebeatdown@gmail.com

Pure potentiality! It's time to advance science and bring back the dead as our Summer of Sequels continues with BRIDE OF RE-ANIMATOR (1990)! Herbert West and Dan Cain return with a new dose of re-agent and a crypt waiting to be plundered. The practical effects are still gooey, the liquids are still glowing and mysterious, and the zombies are still shambling. Lets get to work.

I’m afraid to close my eyes! This week we are joined by a friend of the pod as we discuss the paranormal found footage phenomenon: THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT! It may not be the first found footage movie, but it is the first for this podcast. Grab a couple granola bars, throw the map into the river, and don’t listen to the voices.

2025/07/01

Guns in a Guitar Case! This week we’re taking a trip south of the border with Robert Rodriguez’s debut film, EL MARIACHI! Made with $7k and a dream, it’s a pinnacle in low budget filmmaking; real townspeople extras, homemade stunts and effects, and pure indie movie magic. It’s fast, it’s gritty, it’s worth its weight in coconuts. Instagram: @bmoviebeatFacebook: The B Movie BeatdownEmail: thebmoviebeatdown@gmail.com Letterboxd: @Absolute_trash @SlenderJames

Traditional Family Values! This week we're on the hunt for the perfect family with THE STEPFATHER! Terry O'Quinn shines in this psychological horror as the wanna be family man Jerry Blake, or is that really his name? Well, whatever it is you won't want to miss it. Lock the doors, set the table and don't ask too many questions if you know what's good for you.
