Give Me Back My Action Movies

Tonight, on After Hours Cinema: From the desk of Pete: "Pete has gained a reputation for enjoying films of...um..well...a certain quality. He loves to test his co-hosts with movies filled with blood, beasts and a bounty of boobs but ever since AHCRAP officially hit the airwaves, Anna has slam dunked on Pete picks. This week, Anna not only doubles down on the perverted-ness, but also has the audacity to give him a 'People's Elbow' with legendary director David Cronenberg. 1996's Crash is quite literally like watching an automobile accident; you can't look away, you hope everything turns out ok and when it doesn't, you feel bad about watching. The conversation we have is wild and hilarious with a few stingers that certainly turn into a cross-show running gag."

It's not revenge…it's justice, STEELE JUSTICE! B-ACTION favorite Martin Kove returns to the show with one hell of a kick to the balls! Big guns, one-liners, awesome 80s music, and the coolest pet snake of all time gets us absolutely hyped for one hell of a ride. Over the top cheesy action, odd casting choices, and wild dialogue just seem to fit the script with some surprising nuanced story telling. It may not be Oscar worthy, but it sure as hell is a B-ACTION diamond in the rough! Don't just watch Action, B-Action!!!!

From the desk Pete: "I know. I know. We didn't 'reformat' the show like we said we would which might be why this month's show is delightful chaos. I can't tell you for sure if this is how we're going forward with the show, but the last three episodes have been heavy on the nostalgia and light on the 'movie review'. Frankly, I kinda like it which makes it fun for us and all the more worth doing. To HELL with the listeners. Wait...I don't mean that...I sorry. GMB WUVES they peoples. We do. Honest! Anyway, this month we dive into Captain Pete's nostalgic past and dredge up memories. Listeners are usually cautioned when the curtain is drawn into the mind of Pete but fear not friends, this show is as PC as Bond movies get. Wait, oh yeah, I forgot to mention that we're FINALLY covering a James Bond film. GoldenEye is one of the most important films in the 27-movie franchise and we let you know why in this episode. As Pete likes to say, 'NO SPOILERS,' so I guess you're stuck listening to the show. Aw shucks! We have a bunch of fun ideas for you as we squeeze into our new GMB 2026 pants and once we get off our butts to actually MAKE said promised changes, we think you'll like what you hear. If not, it's all Charlies fault. Pete is innocent of any and all crimes against podcasting."

Did you ever wonder what Chuck Norris would do in a slasher film? Well wonder no more as we explore that scenario in 1982's Silent Rage! Now, if you guessed a romantic montage of love making you'd be correct! Of course, he would also roundhouse kick his way through a bar full of bikers…honestly this one takes us in several unexpected directions, but ultimately puts us on the course of an irresistible force meeting an immovable object. Blazers, boobs, and beast be damned! Chuck Norris is handing out ass whoopings to anybody that needs one! Don't just watch Action, B-Action!!!

From the desk of Anna: Yes, you read that right. Anna here. This is... weird? Pete is so good at his job that this task feels almost too big. (don't tell him I said that) Anyways, keeping with our theme here at AHCRAP, it's Pete's pick this week so I'm to write a synopsis for Daughter of Dracula. Not Dracula's Daughter, not Daughters of Dracula. Just Daughter of Dracula (singular) from 1972. Boy, oh boy, as Pete says, this was a movie. A woman returns home to see her dying mother, who tells her on her death bed that her family are vampires. While she searches for them, there's also some "detectives" looking into these murders, and another vampire who goes by Count, that's also doing vampire stuff. Yeah... it's a quick watch and on Tubi, so turn your brain off and treat yourself to some lady vampire shenanigans, courtesy of Captain Pete. 

In 1983 Lone Wolf McQuade was introduced to the world. The manliest man to ever walk the Earth. A certified beer drinking, truck driving, sharp shooting, martial arts master who plays by his own rules. This was the movie that catapulted Chuck Norris into the certified action superstar he would be forever known as. The jokes, the iconic look, the aura, all born of Lone Wolf McQuade's testosterone fueled action thrill ride. We highlight all of the cars, the guns, the explosions, the ladies, and the glistening hairy chest that would become legend. Don't just watch Action, B-Action!!!

From the desk of Pete: What do you do when you rebrand a long running podcast that has a damn good following? In the case of the dummies over at Give Me Back, you do nothing until 10 minutes before the semi-official launch. Normally in the podcasting world, the hosts of the show will meet to brainstorm and spitball the new direction and hit the ground running with a polished show and new bits. Over at Give Me Back, not so much. As my Pappy always said "you can't spit-shine fecal matter"...wait..."bedazzle your excrement"...no that's not right..."polish your poop"...that was close...."rub out a"...oop...I better stop before Charlie puts me in double secret probation again. That said, the show is going through some growing pains with the exception of the film we picked. Maverick (1994) is the dictionary definition of nostalgic entertainment and the fellas gush over all the memories this film bubbles to the surface. Whether you've seen the film or not, go watch it. It holds up and will have you grinning from ear to ear.

What do you do when there's 5 Tuesdays in a month on a show that's scheduled for 4?!!! You throw together a badass crew and cover movies with absolute raw horsepower and testosterone!! That's right welcome to Give Me Back My - Need 4 Speed. This month Charlie, Mickey and Parker drop the hammer and cover one of the great classics Days of Thunder. We get into our love of 80s-90s Nascar, Tom Cruise doing no wrong, and discuss just how much fun this movie really is. So sit down, buckle up and hold on for the first episode of GMBMN4S!!!!!!

Board not hit back...but B-ACTION does! It's the final round of Mickey's March Madness and we're up against our toughest opponent yet, Bruce Lee in 1973's Enter the Dragon! With a deadly martial arts tournament, revenge, espionage, and so much more rolled up into one film we needed some backup from special guests Sean and Joe from Movie Dumpster! Iconic Bruce Lee moments and awesome fight choreography raise the bar for the Kung Fu movie craze of the 70s, with this film introducing Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Bolo Yueng to American audiences. Speaking of Americans, John Saxon and Jim Kelly bring the charisma and the kicks! There's something for everyone in this movie and it can't be denied the influence it had on the future of pop culture and film, from Mortal Kombat to Austin Powers to Balls of Fury! Don't just watch Action, B-Action!!!

Are you ready for round 3? WHAT?! I said are you ready for round 3? If you wanna see Stone Cold whip The Condemned's asses in an island battle royale, give me a HELL YEAH! A bunch of idiots thought it would be a million dollar idea to put The Rattlesnake on the World Wide Web and stream a death match for every sorry sumbitch in the world to see, but it doesn't matter if it's that big bastard Nathan Jones or that limey bastard Vinnie Jones, Stone Cold is gonna stomp a mud hole in ‘em and walk it dry! I got a stunner for everyone of these assholes and that's the bottom line…because STONE COLD SAID SO! Don't just watch Action, B-Action!!!!

Tonight, on After Hours Cinema: An innocent, aspiring young starlet comes to Hollywood to make it big. Along the way, she falls in love with an amnesiac, hires a contract killer, finds her own dead body, becomes a vagrant and maybe a hooker, lands a huge part in a movie and has an emotional experience at an opera. All of this and many more confusing, yet highly entertaining, weirdness brought to you from the mind of David Lynch.

We're moving on to the 2nd round of Mickey's March Madness and our next competitor is raising the bar from its predecessor…1993's Best of the Best 2! The violence gets cranked up to 11 as Tommy, Alex, and Travis get in over their heads with a silver tongued Wayne Newton who is leading them to slaughter at the hands of the mighty BRAKUS!!! The lore runs deep, the bodies pile up, and now Tommy is a Native American?...and his uncle is Sonny Landham!? This one gets wild in all the best ways as things heat up in the month of March! Don't just watch Action, B-Action!!!

Mickey's March Madness kicks off with a doozy! MORTAL KOMBAT!!!... Annihilation. I know, you may be asking yourself “Why do the sequel?”, well, because it's MADNESS, THAT'S WHY! We all know this one took a turn for the worst: No Christopher Lambert. No Lindon Ashby. No Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa…BUT, we do get an upgrade for Sonya Blade as well as some badass Lin Kuei Cyborg Assassins and a number of other badass characters! Yes the silly factor is cranked up and yes the acting is terrible and yes the CGI is awful, but dudes…it's MORTAL KOMBAT! Don't just watch Action, B-Action!!!

Friends, we've hit a nostalgia ceiling that I'm not sure we can ever eclipse. Equal? Probably, but never exceed. I honestly don't remember a time in my life when Batman wasn't around. The earliest memories of my grandfather are playing Batman with him on a rusty swing set. Mickey and Charlie share similar stories as we cover Batman 1989. Well...I say cover...we talk more about Batman memories than we do the film. Please join the three of us as we take a walk down a long nostalgic road and a little bit of movie talk.

You may be cool, but are you Chad McQueen cool?! Actually, you probably are after watching 1991's Martial Law. Derek from Bad Movies, Worse People joins us to talk Karate cops looking to take down a gang of high end car thieves led by David Carradine! There's a BRIEF cameo from Professor TORU TANAKA!!!!...and a lovely helping of the always wonderful Cynthia Rothrock! That sounds like a lot of badass, right?! Yeah…anyway, gotta go, pizzas here! Don't just watch Action, B-Action!!!!

Month of Pete wraps up with two of our perverts: our very own Scream Queen, Anna, and best buddy, Erin, from Manic Movie Monday. This week is certainly a Pete Pick as we cover the Hammer exploitation classic The Vampire Lovers from 1970. Pete's love of Hammer horror movies has been clearly documented. From the acting to the set pieces and the absurdly silly red coloring of blood, it's no surprise that if you throw some boobs into the mix then Pete is 100% on board for this film. Shockingly, even with all the movie's faults, Charlie didn't hate it and that's a win in Pete's book. Please make sure to catch Erin's fantastic show every week on Manic Movie Monday.

Motorcycles, Monsters, and Masked Riders oh my!!! We had the honor of hosting the Master of Mayhem himself and Overlord Steelhorn's FAVORITE Give Me Back Co-Host, Pete, in honor of “The Month of Pete”! 2023's Shin Kamen Rider brings the classic character to a new audience with brutal force and over the top action! The costumes and creature effects take center stage with exciting action with powerful performances and some badass fight choreography. Strap in because things are gonna get real weird, real fast! Don't just watch Action, B-Action!!!

February has arrived and with it another MONTH OF PETE, the best month of the year since Pete gets to pick all the movies. As tradition, Pete has employed some backups to stave off the ire of Charlie and we welcome some of our bestest buddies in the whole crazy podcasting world, Steven and Leo of Spoils of Horror. Pete's action pick this year is Five Deadly Venoms (1978), the seminal pop culture phenomenon produced by the Shaw Brothers. Now, classic kung-fu isn't really Charlie's bag so it will be exciting to hear if it landed with him since most of February Pete picks tend to fall short or more accurately, plop off a rooftop in a stinky wet pile of goo. Uncultured swine. BTW, if you want to understand Pete's "bycocket" joke you'll need to listen to some of the early Spoils of Horror episodes. Which you should be doing anyways, we're just giving you extra incentive.

The final movie for Charlie's "Make You See Red" birthday month is here. The guys follow Ivan (Arnold Schwarzenegger) on his mission from Mother Russia to the mean streets of Chicago to take down a drug lord. We talk about how Russians aren't all bad and that we all agree that this movie is part of the Blues Brothers multiverse! Don't just watch Action, B-Action!!!

The horror side of the podcast kicks off with a film that put Jamie Lee Curtis on the map. She owes her entire career to this one single epic movie that is beloved by all. Halloween? pfft boring. Trading Places? SNORE. No way. I'm talking about the Oscar winning treasure from 1999: Virus. Wait, what? You've never heard of this movie? Well, you're in for a treat especially if your favorite kind of treat is a chocolate covered banana slug. Friends, this movie is bad, but Charlie and Pete ended up enjoying the heck out of its "badness." We definitely knocked it out of the park with this first horror episode of 2026.

We're not out of our minds, just out of bullets! Charlie's birthday month is coated in red and we're kicking it off with the most famous movie “Russian” of all time, DOLPH LUNGREN in 1988's Red Scorpion! As Russian and Cuban forces slaughter innocent Africans, Lt. Nikolai Rachenko begins to realize he may just be one of the bad guys. After a “rocky” breakup with his countrymen, Nikolai goes on a journey to “punish” the oppressors with big guns, big explosions, and tiny shorts that fill the desert landscape with action! The comedic relief and pacing may leave us feeling indifferent, but the dangerous stunts and real African Bushmen leave us in awe of the authenticity! Don't just watch Action, B-Action!!!!

Happy 2026 and welcome to a new look for the Give Me Back Podcast. Mickey from the B-Action podcast joins us for Charlie's first action pick of his birthday month and arguably the best Die Hard rip-off of all time, Sudden Death. If you think physics is stupid and logic is overrated, then this is your kind of film. While the film is insulting to anyone who's graduated from middle school, it is unquestionably entertaining and worth a spin. Give Me Back is thrilled to be back and looking to make 2026 the best year yet.

New year…same badass B-ACTION! We kick off 2026 with Cpt. Steve from Bucket of Chum as we cover a quintessential (big word, we know) B-ACTION movie…1983's Deathstalker! This Sword and Sorcery classic hits all the high notes that make us happy: No holds barred violence, badass babes, a little touch of humor, and enough testosterone to grow your very own Charlie beard! Seriously, He-Man WISHES he was this manly. So join us to watch the giant battle hammer drop and ring in a BADASS New Year! Don't just watch Action, B-Action! 

This week (in the past) we joined co-host Dustin on his show Flicks and Friends Podcast to help cover 2012's Dredd starring Karl Urban!

Tis the season to get in to the holiday spirit or, if you're like Pete, just getting in to any spirit is good enough. Charlie, Anna and Pete welcome in B-Action's very own Silver Fox Micky for a unique Give Me Back my Holidays sort of show. Instead of covering yet another Christmas movie, the gang thought it would be fun to take a trip down memory lane and share with you what this time of year was like and what it meant to us. We share stories of family, toys and of course the shows we looked forward to that only came out this time of year. Anna kinda creeped us all our with her story about Drunk Uncle Steve trying to come down the chimney and....ah I'm just kidding. Thankfully that never happened. It was Uncle Chad. Uncle Steve is still in good health. Anyways, we know this is unorthodox for the show but we certainly had a great time and we hope you do too. Go grab a cup of spiked cider or nog or champagne or beer or damnit now I'm thirsty. Anyways, Happy Holiday to you all. We love that you've joined us for this incredible ride that was 2025.

“What do you say to Santa's Dwarves?...Thank you!” It's a Christmas tale as old as time. A newly released prisoner hooks up with his dead cellmate's hot stalker girlfriend only to get involved in an elaborate casino heist. Warms the heart, doesn't it?! Reindeer Games (2000) lays out a feast of familiar faces and Santa on Santa violence! Come and warm yourself by the fire as we roast this movie's pacing and wild plot. We'll carve the turkey with shotguns and uzis, drink from rum filled water pistols, and light up the sky with explosions of comfort and joy! Don't just watch Action, B-Action!!!!

The B-Action boys join Video Villa Entertainment podcast to cover the action classic...Tango and Cash. Starring Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell. Don't just watch Action, B-Action!!!!

Do you want a motorcycle sandwich?! Then you better not miss a second of this episode featuring the 2001 classic The One! Jet Li puts on a fight choreography clinic and you get a young Jason Statham with 70% MORE HAIR! This movie is stacked with cool cars, big guns, a heavy dose of Drowning Pool, and awesome ass whoopin's. But we're more than that. We're deep thinkers, so we couldn't help but take the time to dive into multiversal theories and time travel mechanics…but we mostly talk about the ass whoopin's! Don't just watch Action, B-Action!!!

Charlie and Mickey joined co-host Dustin on his show Flicks and Friends for their Video Game month to cover the 90s classic.... Double Dragon!!!

B-ACTION gets down to the fundamentals with a CLASSIC flick about heart, teamwork, and overcoming the odds! Derek from Bad Movies, Worse People joins us for 1989's Best of the Best starring Eric Roberts and James Earl Jones. This is a quintessential stop on every B-ACTION movie fan's journey. Bar fights and martial arts tournaments are just the icing on top of a fun movie full of montages, the importance of brotherhood, and… *sniff, sniff* Is somebody cutting onions in here?! We're not crying! It's just allergies!!! Don't just watch Action, B-Action!!!

Guest Spot Episode: In this episode, we're diving into Solo (1996) — the high-octane, cyber-soldier action flick starring Mario Van Peebles as a government-made killing machine who grows a conscience and goes rogue. It's got jungle warfare, robot ethics, 90s cheese, and some wild explosions.   We're not going solo on this one either — we're joined by the @B-Action Podcast crew to help us close out the Month of Action in style.    Come hang with us as we ask:   Was Solo ahead of its time or just a forgotten VHS relic? Why did Mario Van Peebles deserve better? And how does it stack up against other '90s sci-fi action? Don't just watch Action, B-Action!!!

A brief explanation of the upcoming holiday schedule for the podcast.

The Rutger Hauer B-ACTION redemption starts here! Jack from “Bad Movies, Worse People” joins us to cover 1992's Split Second! Rat infested, flooded, forever night London is terrorized by a serial killer eating its victim's hearts! Is it an alien? A monster? A demon? We don't know, but Harley Stone and Dick Durkin are just the right cops for the job to hunt down this monster and do it with style! Badass practical effects? Check. Kim Cattrall? Check. Big ass guns? Double Check!!! Don't just watch Action, B-Action!!!!

The gangs all here as Anna returns and she brings along her Barren's Hideout co-host and Halloween superfan Lil' D. While the opinions of the movie, in general, wildly varied, the conversation was next level. Even though we tip-toe around H4 through most of the show, when we get down to it, the criticisms are fair and praises are fun. Charlie flexes his "Script Doctor" muscles and creates a more coherent storyline using mostly what has already been shot. It's impressive. Lil D's love of the franchise is wonderful to hear and that alone should be enough to pull you in. Pete tried to shoehorn a plug for his friends at Spookypinball.com and their Halloween pinball machine but he ran out of time and asked that I add it here: https://youtu.be/W-RpfCzCKAM  

Steven Seagal vs VAMPIRES?! We're totally in! Except that they're not really vampires. 2009's Against the Dark had us hyped for a Blade like movie with a badass poster and a great concept. However, we got sharp toothed, somewhat intelligent zombies chasing a group of really dumb survivors that none of us cared about. For all its faults there were some buried gems. Thank God for Steven Seagal and a shotgun or else this one was destined for a big ole BOMB. Don't just watch Action, B-Action!!!!

Charlie and Pete are all by themselves this time and it turned out better than either one could have imagined. Trick or Treat (1986) turned out to be a deep well of nostalgia ripe for a Give Me Back pick. Sadly, the movie is a rough one to find but Pete tells you where to find it if you so choose to watch. Is it a great movie? Not really. Is it a fun devil movie smack in the middle of the 80s Satanic Panic? You bet it is.

A gnarly car with a piece of shit driver terrorizes little girls in a small town. Sound like a made for TV movie to you? Well it is. 1990's Wheels of Terror is a high speed chase…in slow motion. Seriously, Zach Snyder had to have been inspired by this movie. Can a bad ass school bus driven by a Mom pushed to the edge and a cool muscle car save this one for the B-ACTION team?! Don't just watch Action, B-Action!!!

I will die on the hill saying that the Evil Dead franchise is the strongest horror franchise on the market. Not a single entry in the five film/three season TV show is a dud. There was a lot of doubt when the Evil Dead remake came out and even more when Rise dropped, but just one viewing of either will make you fall in love with this franchise again. If, like Pete, you were a Captain Cranky-Pants about the new Evil Dead movies, but still haven't seen them, we implore you to give them a chance. As always, please watch Evil Dead Rise before you listen. We'll be here when you return.

The Month of Horror continues in the jungles of Borneo with 1996's DNA! The legendary Mark Decascos and Jürgen Prochnow match wits as they try to survive a revived alien bug monster! This film is an action sci-fi trail mix with all the goodies: Jurassic Park, Predator, and Alien just to name a few! Don't just watch Action, B-Action!!!!

Do you like sleaze? Do you yearn for the filth of New York City in the early 80s? Do you like low budgets and gorilla film making? Do you like rubber monster puppets and buckets of blood? If, enthusiastically, you said yes to these questions, then boy HOWDY do we have a movie for you. It's the start of the spooky season and somehow Pete got the first pick. Also, somehow, he picked a movie that truly embraces the "Give Me Back" vibe. Basket Case is a masterclass in low budget filmmaking so much so the The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) has curated and preserved it in their archives. What the WHAT? Do you mean THE MoMA? The Museum of Modern Art in New York City? I sure do. Basket Case is free on our lord and savior Tubi, so make sure to watch the 91 minute classic before you tune in.

The Month of Horror kicks off with a howl! We're taking another stab at the modern day B-ACTION movie with 2024's Werewolves! Did you pack your MOONSCREEN?! If not then you can join our pack as we tear through the awesomeness of this horror/action crossover! Big ass guns plus big ass Werewolves makes for a hell of a good time! Don't just watch Action, B-Action!!!!!

We wrap up Pete's birthday month with a cinematic gift. Since there was an extra week in September, we picked a movie that we knew he would love... or at least we hoped he would love. Before Legendary Pictures rebooted the Godzilla franchise, they teamed up with Guillermo Del Toro to create arguably the greatest giant robot vs. kaiju film of the modern era. Heck, I think you can make a pretty good argument for best EVER made. Did Pete like his movie gift? You'll just have to tune.

Imagine if, you will, that Hershel Gordon Lewis and Looney Tunes had a Kung Fu baby. Got that picture in your mind? No? Well, we just watched that Kung Fu baby in Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky. Based on a manga and accurately described as a Kung-Fu Splatter film, Riki-Oh lives up to the hype as the first Hong Kong film to be slapped with a Category III rating (NC-17 equivalent) for violence. If a thin story and exploding heads are your thing, then it's a MUST watch for you.

In a dystopian future where art and emotions are outlawed, one of the Clerics sworn to crush the resistance will see the light and join the fight for freedom! We're talking about 2002's Equilibrium starring Christian Bale, Sean Bean, Taye Diggs, and Emily Watson! We dub this one the “Thinking Man's” action movie for its phenomenal acting, tough scenarios, and the introduction of the martial art known as Gun Kata! Don't just watch Action, B-Action!!!!

Pete wraps up his birthday month with the Korean vengeance masterpiece Oldboy. We implore you to please watch this film before listening. We'd hate to spoil the events in this film that will leave you speechless. This film is as beautifully shot and acted as it is difficult to stomach the subject material. You've been warned.

By the grace of Godzilla, the gang was able to finish recording despite the podcasting god's best effort to sabotage today's episode. Anna got sick (get better buddy), and our online recording tool dropped us a record 4 times. Regardless, the team was determined to start the Nate/Pete dual birthday month lovingly coined Big Beautiful Brutal Bloody Bonanza Bonkers Birthday. Nate goes first and selected the little-known South Korean hyper violent blood bath movie called Project Wolf Hunting. Remember way back when we as a podcast watched Monkey Kung Fu and collectively asked the question, "Can a kung Fu movie have too much Kung Fu?" Well, we now have to ask ourselves, "Can a horror/action movie have too much action/horror?" Project Wolf Hunting is on Prime and Tubi so it's easy to get your hands on. Good luck making sense out of this one. We didn't.

What's the JOB?! B-ACTION looks to the modern era of movies for a hidden gem in 2013 called Homefront starring Jason Statham! Former undercover cop “Phil Broker” (If that is his REAL name) is looking to settle down with his daughter in a quiet rural town in Louisiana. What he finds is meth dealers, family drama, and some good old boys looking for trouble! Not only is the cast list in this movie STACKED, the fight scenes and action sequences stand toe to toe with some of the best action films! Don't just watch Action, B-Action!!!!

Finally, after 3ish years, Pete brings a movie that is the definition of what Give Me Back stands for and yet still succeeds in going off script having never watched it. Stuart Gordon's "Dolls" is a reminder of just how much fun low budget horror films were back in the 1980s. Delicious gore, shockingly good stop-motion, a creepy house, and a kid that genuinely does not suck at acting are the charming elements we see on full display that made movies of this era so much fun. This one isn't for everyone but it's only 77 minutes long and free on Tubi. You have no excuses. Go see it.

GUYS! GUYS! We found him!! We found Charlie!!! Turns out that our fearless leader has a side hustle as an NSA agent. Now that we know all about it, Charlie has to kill us but not before we watch a gem of an action movie. One of our bestest buddies Dustin from the Flicks and Friends podcast, B-Action, and The Barrens Hideout podcast joins us this week while we cover xXx, starring Vin Diesel as a professional extreme sports punk turned NSA secret agent. Is this the first "spy" movie we've done? It's a baller either way. xXx is silly and dumb in all of the right ways.

It's the Trash man! No, Not that one! Enzo G. Castellari takes us on a trip into a dystopian New York in 1983's Escape from the Bronx! Trash leads the gangs in an underground rebellion to fight against a private corporation attempting to cleanse the streets with extreme violence! We'll explore the physics of blowing up helicopters and armored trucks with revolvers and then pivot to the ethical concerns of roasting homeless people with flamethrowers. We're bringing the Italian action so you bring the marshmallows! Don't just watch action, B-Action!!!!

Our continued search for Charlie led the team to Mexico and we ran into a native tribe that offered us a delightful tea to quench our thirst. As we took our first big swig of tea, we hear a giggle coming from behind us. We turn to see one of our best podcasting buddies in the world Erin from Manic Movie Monday.  Anna asked what the giggling was about, and Erin just smiled an all-knowing smile and said, "ummmm...just give it a minute or two. heehee" "Minute or two," Pete asks, "What do you mean by....wooooah..."  After a few days, Erin was finally able to track down Anna and Pete. Anna had found her way into a museum and was molesting a copy of Michelangelo's David while Pete was verbally accosting a dodgy looking cloud that turned out to be a cotton candy machine. Shockingly, he still had his pants on.  Anywho, Erin cat-wrangles Anna and Pete and suggests watching Altered States to understand what might have happened during the lost time.  While we all thought the movie was a hoot, we were getting frustrated in the fact that Charlie was still missing.  Remember that old chestnut?
