Grindbin Podcast - Grindhouse and Exploitation Films (Grindbin Podcast)

Bobby and Mike are joined by Vaughn to discuss a Halloween metal movie that doesn't get much recognition from Horror fans.

A bullied teenage boy is devastated after the death of his heavy metal idol, Sammi Curr. But as Hallowe'en night approaches, he discovers that he may be the only one who can stop Sammi from making a Satanic comeback from beyond the grave.

Vaughn, Yobo, Bobby, and Mike close the month (quarter) of Yobo with the legendary Walter Hill film, The Warriors. If you listen to this show, you know the movie, there's nothing much I can add here. 

Nick, Lee, Bobby, and Mike discuss a movie about a guy... from Harlem. If you're looking for action, romance, suspense, and an ending you'd never see coming; this movie is not for you. The Guy From Harlem is one of those movies that has to be seen to be believed, a movie only the Grindbin could make you care about.

How do you make a movie that attempts to be a female empowerment message yet sets women's rights back 50 years? Just ask 1973's Superchick! In this episode Chris and Mike break down yet another Crown International classic. 

Tara B True is a real special kind of lady, a super kind of lady if you will. She gets to travel the US as a flight attendant, she sleeps with a new man in every city, and she learns karate; boy the things women could achieve in the early 1970's! And to think they complained about not voting just a few decades before, just look at how far they've come. 

And how does this film relate the Reagan White House? Load up this episode and find out. 

The guys close Blairvember 2017 with a return to one of their favorite Linda Blair movies, Savage Streets. A see-to-believe type affair, this movie is the perfect embodiment of what you would imagine a Grindhouse film to be. So get on that leather onesie and jump into the tub with us to celebrate the close of this year’s Blairvember!

Yobo, Matt, Terry, and Mike discuss one of the greatest Grindbin movies yet! Death Machines has EVERYTHING you could ever want from a bin movie: overly complicated criminal plans, milk toast characters who you don't want to root for, excessive paperwork as a plot device, and more! 

Future-Kill is what happens when you mix a frat comedy, with a post-apocalyptic slasher film... in other words, it makes NO sense. A truly weird movie with an even weirder backstory, Future-Kill is a Grindbin movie like no other.

Thanks to our Patron Gregory Freeman for the request! 

Tim Yobo and Jersey James join Mike and Bobby to discuss a "Christmas" movie about valley girls fighting mutant zombies in an apocalypse. 

Lee, Bobby, new guest Mike Bagford, and original Mike discuss the Franco Nero detective movie where he goes to Italy to solve a case but instead finds his estranged son, kisses him on the lips, and then dates Sybil Danning for awhile. But he don't give a damn, he's the Cobra!

A child is thrown from a roof, a man is excited about hot soup on a cold night, Charles Nelson Reilly might have killed a man in the bayou... Cannon, you've done it again!

Mann, Shane, and Mike discuss Lucio Fulci's Grindbin debut by featuring one of his most insane films. What can only be described as a mix of Suspiria meets Screwballs 2, Aenigma is a movie that is truly an enigma. A sometimes comedy, a sometimes horror/slasher, and a sometimes steamy romance film, Aenigma is weird, fun, and very, very Italian. 

The boys are joined by special guest Randal Silvey from the Grawlix Podcast to discuss a movie that contains some of the most shocking moments from Charles Bronson's 1980's filmography. Not only does Bronson use his hands in creative ways, he also has a best friend... who's a Dolphin. There is a reason this is one of the "forgotten" Bronson movies. 

Tim, Daniel, Vaughn, and Mike get ready for pledge night during the big April Fools party at Slasher University. Shelved for over two years and only making $900 on it's initial release, Killer Party is a great hidden gem of the mid-80's slasher films. 

Herschell Gordon Lewis makes his Grindbin debut with his last movie from the 1970's. The Gore Gore Girls is a great example of Lewis' over-the-top gore and strangely slapstick nature. A true oddity of filmaking and a fun episode of the Grindbin. This is a Patreon pick from Shane McCollum. 

Bobby and Mike are joined by "The Human Monster Truck" Perry Von Vicious (@PerryVonVicious) to discuss a movie about love, loss, and a murderous monster truck with a giant drill. Featuring an amazing performance from Grindbin All Star Ned Beatty (Gator, White Lightning, Exorcist II) and some great pro wrestling stories from Perry Von Vicious.

Check out more pro wrestling greatness from out friends at Pro Wrestling Grind: https://twitter.com/GRINDpuro

Bobby, Brody, Terry, and Mike discuss the 1982 horror film that features an incredible cast of Jack Palance, Martin Landau, and Donald Pleasence! Directed by Jack Sholder (Nightmare on Elm Street 2), Alone in the Dark is a glorious mess of a movie that is elevated by bizarre performances from multiple Academy Award winners.

Bobby, Chef Robby, and Sir Charles discuss a Joe Don Baker, Robert Loggia 70's car movie where neither men have decided to care... or even read the script. The agressive apathy provides mind blowing moments onscreen and a great movie for the Grindbin. 

Bottling eating, bear fighting, Junipero Serra in a wrestling ring, Sgt. Slaughter with someone else's voice; this Pro Wrestling movie is a ridiculous good time. Captain Jack and Tanner join Bobby and Mike in a main event you don't want to miss... just watch out for that ref Mike Stickler! 

The boys welcome Roger Corman back into the Grindbin with one of his directing efforts, 1959's A Bucket of Blood. The oldest movie we've covered on the show and a real hidden gem in Corman's filmography, A Bucket of Blood follows the exploits of a simple minded busboy as he tries to become an artist and fit in with the beatnik crowd at the coffee shop he works at. Filmed in only 5 days and with a shoestring budget, this is a film that proves the talent in front and behind the camera doesn't always need a large budget to produce a enjoyable film.

It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's... Turkish Superman? On this episode of the bin, Bobby, Tanner, and Mike discuss a movie requested from one of our Patreon members (Thanks Hughie!). Director Kunt Tulgar took a trip with his parents and saw Richard Donner's Superman, he then had the bright idea that he could do that himself... and he did! The result is one of the worst movies ever made.

Blairvember continues with a Linda-in-prison movie that finds her held captive in East Germany where her, um, boyfriend? is trying to break her out, or not... Will Linda spend the entire movie crying? Will she become Savage Streets Linda? Will she get out of East Germany alive?! Find out on this episode of the Grindbin. 

The Haigladays for 2019 comes to a close with one of Jack Hill's (Switchblade Sisters, The Big Bird Cage, Coffy) first movies. Julie joins Bobby and Mike to talk about a movie way ahead of it's time and featuring a great vintage performance from Lon Cheney Jr.

Chris and Mike delve into Crown International's most successful film, the teen sexploitation classic, My Tutor (1983).

From the IMDB synopsis: A rich father hires a tutor for his son. The son is a horny teenager and the tutor is a gorgeous blonde. Complications ensue.

Thanks again for your comments and suggestions. If you have any recommendations for future movies as well as comments about past episodes, please visit our website grindhousefilm.com or find us on twitter.com/grindpod

Welcome to the first week of Blairvember, five whole weeks of Linda Blair movies on the Grindbin. In our first episode we start with the 1970's "classic" Roller Boogie. Molly Osborne joins Chris and Mike to discuss a movie which decides to literally change it's mind and start again about half way through. Rollerpocalypses, attempted sexual assaults, characters named Bobby, this movie has it all; and more!

Summer Sequel Month 2023 continues with another trip to the Penitentiary. Yobo, Terry, Bobby, and Mike are shocked to find a cheaper, weirder, and funnier? sequel to the prison boxing drama Penitentiary.

The guys discuss all the important aspects of the movie like if you can actually swim in a crochet bikini, small TV placement during a murder, what the rate of inflation is for buying "services" during a prison boxing match, and whether or not Bee Movie is about a woman trying to have relations with a bee or a bee trying to have relations with a woman.   

Chris and Mike delve into one of the most classic 1980's films, Thrashin'. This gem has avoided falling into complete obscurity because it stars Josh Brolin and features a cameo by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. It's a true 80s film in every sense of the word: the clothing, the music, the dialogue; it's amazing. While it might not fit directly into the world of Grindhouse or Exploitation cinema it's a treat and we think you will agree.

It's week 2 of Camvember 2022 and Terry, Daniel, Tim, and Mike are talking about a slasher from the late 70's that features an incredibly deranged and drunken performance from the man of the month. 

Today Chris and Mike discuss the Linda Blair classic, Savage Streets (1984).

If you haven't seen Savage Streets then you are missing out on one of the greatest trash-cinema classics of all time. This movie exists in a parallel universe where teenage girls shop for bear traps and crossbows and hair is so big it has a life of its own. 

Linda Blair gives an absolute classic performance that absolutely must be seen to be believed and the soundtrack by John Farnham is the pinnacle of mid-80s rock. Savage Streets is something truly special.

Chris and Mike discuss a movie that a lot of the starring actors hoped would be forgotten. Johnny Depp, Rob Morrow, and Hector Elizondo find themselves on an island vacation where all sorts of hijinks ensue. This is a movie that seems like it was written on a set of cocktail napkins and hastily put together so the producers could take a vacation at the same time they are "working".

Part 2 of the Grindbin Halloween blah blah blah is in effect! One of the worst movies ever made just so happens to have one of the strangest back stories ever told. Spookies was a movie that should have stayed dead and buried but someone decided to release this turd and now we have another episode of the Grindbin. Enjoy everyone! Thanks to our Patron Julie for her donating and recommending this movie.

Mike is joined by Hughes to discuss one of the most deplorable movies from the vault of Crown International Pictures - 1970's Weekend With the Babysitter. A movie only "Mr. Crown" himself could love; an old pervert falls for his kid's babysitter while his wife is punished for her heroin addiction.  

Yobo, Terry, Bobby, and Mike find themselves locked back up in the Penitentiary for one more fight (even though we said we would never fight again and it doesn't really make any sense for us to be locked up for a third time). Can Canon elevate the Penitentiary series to new heights? Can you eat an orange with the skin on? Will Yobo mention the completely outdated Hawk Tuah girl 15 times?! Find out on this episode of the bin!

What seems like a rip-off of Animal House quickly cements itself as one of the most offensive movies featured on the Grindbin. Corpse stealing, death by fart, and attempted murder... and that's only the first 10 minutes.

Crown International Pictures finally returns to the Grindbin and they DO NOT disappoint. What appears to be an 80s comedy about driving limos end up being one of the most troubling movies to ever come out of the struggling studio. An amazing performance from Sam Jones and an regrettable appearance by a famous magic duo ensure this is a movie the Grindbin audience will never forget. 

Special guests:

Luke Jaconetti from Earth Destruction Directive 

Lee from They Must Be Destroyed on Sight

Eddie the Axe (The Let's Get Shitty Show) and Steve and Izzy (Everything I Learned From Movies) join Bobby and Mike to talk about the Larry Cohen classic... The Stuff (1985). Because enough is never enough... 

Steve and Izzy from EILFM (Everything I Learned from Movies) join Bobby and Mike to discuss the Albert Pyun "classic" that he apparently filmed, dumped off to an editor, and never looked at again. An all female rock band gets the gig of a lifetime, they just have to fly across the galaxy to get there, that sounds fun... right? There has to be SOME fun in this movie... right? There has to be a movie in here... right? Find out on this episode of the bin!

Every now and then we get a movie on the Grindbin that we would never watch unless we "had to" but we are so glad when we did. As we run out of Linda Blair movies we come across one of those movies... Blairvember might have a few miracles left. 

The boys are back to talk about a film from infamous grindhouse director Ruggero Deodato (Cannibal Holocaust). Atlantis rises up from the ocean and it's up to two random guys to do... something about it. A complete mess of a movie but a fun ride regardless, The Raiders of Atlantis is an exploitation classic.

Mann returns to the bin for a movie that the guys loved! Filmed at the infamous Spahn Ranch during a strange time in LA history, this biker film was probably better off left at the bottom of that garbage heap. Thanks to our Patreon member Eric for requesting this movie.

The Grindbin Halloween special 2020 is here and it's a real family affair. Look out for satanic cults, sexy grandpas, and one of the greatest stand-up routines to appear on the Grindbin.

Fuastus, Bobby, Mike, and eventually Tim discuss a Giallo movie that answers the question as old as time... can you get busy in a row boat?

Candice and Chef Robby join Mike and Booby to discuss the winner of this month's Patreon poll, Ghost Keeper. A movie that takes place on New Years Eve and is supposed to feature a Wendigo... except they apparently ran out of money half way through production. What's left is a confusing sequence of wandering through hotel rooms and one of the strangest monologues in any bin movie. 

Why are Catwoman, Ginger from Gilligans Island, and John Carradine in a softcore slasher movie from the 1980s? We have no idea but we are SO glad we watched this. 

Thanks to Patreon member Aaron WC for the pick!

Bobby, Chef Robby, fourth chair Vaughn, and Mike talk about the animal attack movie that's actually about a man's insecurities facing baldness. Featuring an incredible performance from Henry Silva, Robert Forester getting multiple police partners killed, and a potentially very problematic relationship; Alligator has eveything you could hope for in a Grindbin movie!

Major life changes have prevented Mike from editing a main feed episode this week. Please enjoy this epic mini bin from our Patreon feed in the meantime. 

Mike and Molly are joined by guests Amber and Austin to discuss a movie filled with secret cults, teenage drama, and, of course, the inside of a man's... "I love the smell of a hunt but I love the taste of a shunt!" 

Bobby and Mike are joined by Julie and Alistair from the Movie Melt Podcast to discuss another Brian Trenchard-Smith movie, Day of the Panther (1988). Jason Blade is an undercover agent who tries to bring down an Australian crime ring run by a used boat salesman. 

Chris and Mike return for their first show of 2017 with another listener request: "Jekyll and Hyde... Together Again" (1982). In this 80s adaptation of the classic Robert Louis Stevenson tale a surgeon quits his job to develop a new drug to help man tap into his primordial instincts for some reason. He ends up inventing cocaine and we watch a man snort lines, act like an idiot and hump the air for the next hour; the end. 

Bobby, Shane, Terry and Mike are here to talk about one of the most amazingly bad movies ever made. An impressionist serial killer, two directors, one really mad cop, and an amazing connection to one of our very first episodes. 

Bobby, Wick, Chris, and Mike discuss this Sam Elliott, Peter Weller buddy cop film that has everything you could ever want from an 80's action movie. Broadway cops, Rollercoaster fights, and an ending that has to be seen to be believed; Shakedown is the pinnacle of action movies and 80s entertainment. 

Grindbin All-Star Claudia Jennings (Gator Bait) returns to the bin in an early 70's Roger Corman flick about the world of professional roller derby. Michael Tanner (guest from The Thing With The Two Heads) joins Hughes and Mike to discuss this cult classic. 

Grindbin All-star Hal Needham has sent us an Angel in the form of the gloriously bad 80's BMX film RAD. Does the director of Smokey and the Bandit know anything about BMX bikes? Is Lori Loughlin trying to scam her way into college? Did this kid actually spend 10 grand on T-shirts? Well get ready to go ass sliding with the bin and find out. 

Mike is joined by guest co-host Michael Tanner (co-author of Junior Braves of the Apocalypse) to discuss a movie from Grindbin All-Star Lee Frost (Policewomen). When a racist white surgeon is given two weeks to live, he decides to take desperate measures and perform the world's first head transplant. Only problem, the donor is not to the doctor's liking! 

Next week brings Grindbin episode 300!!! This week, we take a look back at Bobby's first appearance on the show. 

Wick, Brady, Bobby, and Mike discuss the Taiwanese re-imagining of Snow White. Only this time she is birthed from a space bean and restaurant Cyclops rule the streets.

Chris and Mike are joined by Randal Silvey from the Grawlix podcast to talk about 1986's TerrorVision. When a suburban family buys a new satellite dish it starts receiving transmissions from an alien world. Featuring Grindbin All Stars Diane Franklin and John Gries, TerrorVision is a unique and weird movie that shaped the minds of generations of adults as they saw it played over and over again on extended cable. 

With the recent passing of legendary director, and Grindbin All Star, Ruggero Deodato (Raiders of Atlantis), the bin and Lee and Leah from TMBDOS! celebrate one of his lesser talked about films, Cut and Run (1985). Often mistaken for a cannibal movie (like Deodato's Cannibal Holocaust), Cut and Run is a drug running movie with a brilliant performance from Grindbin all star Richard Lynch and an incredibly unhinged performances from Bibleman himself, Willie Aames. 

On this episode we discuss one of the greatest cheap action movies we've ever seen. This movie has everything you could ever want: catchphrases, guns, angry police chiefs, one-liners, explosions, Gary Busey playing a saxophone on the beach; you simply can't ask for more.

Chris and Mike delve deeper into their last film: 1990 The Bronx Warriors (1982) and answer listener questions and comments from the latest episode - including what apocalypse gang they would join. Mike recommends a recent Fulci film he watched and discusses why all Italian films used to be dubbed. To end the show Chris and Mike read some more Sick Reviews. 

Send your questions and comments to us for the next mini bin episode: grindbin@gmail.com

Blairvember 2017 continues with a real hidden gem in Linda's filmography. The pairing of Linda and Ernest Borgnine in a movie that might be one of the most offensive ever presented on the Grindbin is an episode not to be missed.

Chef Robby and J.M. Brandt join Bobby and Mike to discuss this sci-fi most dangerous game mashup. A movie that seemingly has everything you could ever ask for in a bad movie: bad sci-fi effects, monsters, horny robots, an attractive cast, Predator's weird brother... yet it delivers on NONE of this. Slave Girls ranks as one of the worst movies we've ever had to cover on the bin, so enjoy our pain! 

The bin will be back with an all new episode next week. For now, enjoy a recent mini bin episode from our Patreon http://patreon.com/grindbin

Massacre at Central High is an amazing exploitation film from the 1970's. An allegory for the rise of fascism under the facade of a high school movie... what more could you ask for?! Thanks to Gman from the Patreon for his pick.

On the second episode of The Grindbin, Mike and Chris delve into one of the strangest movies ever produced. Malibu High (1979) is a true Grindhouse classic that embodies everything you could hope for in the genre.

Kim is a highschool senior who was just dumped by her boyfriend and is failing out of school. Desperate times call for desperate measures and Kim decides to solve her problems the only way she knows how, by becoming a hooker and seducing her teachers to get straight A's. All of this culminates in one of the strangest third acts to a film that simply has to be seen to be believed. 

Blairvember rolls on as Chris and Mike discuss 1983's Chained Heat. Linda Blair finds herself behind bars after killing a man (by accident) in what can only be described as the worst prison of all time. Murders, drugs, rapes, and that's all before lunch! Can Linda serve her 18 month sentence in peace, or will she just make things worse for herself?

Wick, Vaughn, Brady, and Mike discuss the recent winner of the John Huston Would Do Anything Poll from our Patreon, 1976's The Visitor. Is this an incredible artistic vision realized onscreen, or just some dude that liked hot dogs and Pong? Does Vaughn finish filing his taxes by the end of the episode? Can a Vampire be a Motorcycle? All these questions will be answered... and more! 

A Patreon request from Listener Aaron WC! Grindbin All-Star Marki Bey (The Roommates) returns to the bin to avenge her dead fiancé with an army of undead zombies. Sugar Hill is an underrated exploitation classic. Voodoo and Zombies; what's not to love?

Camvember 2023 continues with J.M. Brandt returning to talk the original Slaughter with Bobby and Mike. Surely there are lots of outstanding questions we had from the second movie that are answered here, right? There has to be incredibly backstories for characters we met in the second film, right? There is at least a super computer at this Mexico (South America) base, right?!

Find out the answers to these questions (probably not)... and more!

Eddie, Terry, Shane, Bobby, and Mike discuss this Nightmare on Elm Street rip-ff as Summer Sequel Month 2020 continues. Does anyone remember a rockstar killer that haunts your dreams from the first Slumber Party Massacre? No? Well neither does Roger Corman, who's probably never even seen either of these movies he Produced.  

This week Chris and Mike delve into a classic film from exploitation auteur Jack Hill - Switchblade Sisters (1975). This forgotten classic is a true gem of grindhouse cinema that offers much more than simply trashy entertainment. Lace - leader of the Dagger Debs - is threatened when a new girl moves onto her turf and catches the eye of her boyfriend Dom. Politics, love triangles, bake sales, this movie has it all!

Welcome to The Grindbin. In this introduction episode your hosts Mike Wood and Chris Mann discuss the goals of this podcast and what to expect from future episodes. Join them on their journey through the exploitation films and grindhouse cinema of decades past as they attempt to breathe new life into these long forgotten movies. 

Blairvember concludes on an amazing high note. Linda takes charge in one of the worst superhero movies ever made. Fake mustaches, toilet wine, and Linda being Linda... its everything you could ever want in a Grindbin movie and a fitting conclusion to our favorite theme month. 

Mike is joined by Hughes (from the Dolemite episode) to discuss the 1983 "classic" Joysticks. Do kids in the 80s spend too much time playing with their Joysticks? Did Disney get a name from the Lion King from this movie? Why would Joe Don Baker star in this film? All these questions and more are answered on this week's episode of The Grindbin. 

Chris Mann returns to cover one of the biggest cult classics of all time, 1987's Miami Connection. The good people over at Drafthouse Films have brought this movie back from the dead and if you've never seen this film before and you're a fan of cult cinema you MUST go watch it. Featuring an amazing soundtrack, 5 minute taekwondo demonstrations, and some of the "best" acting to ever grace the silver screen, Miami Connection is a rare treat that is truly a one-of-a-kind experience. 

This is one of those times we get to talk about a good movie on the show. Wild in the Streets (1968) is one of the greatest movies to ever be on the bin. An underrated classic and something that draws eerie parallels to modern day. Fair warning... there is a LOT of political talk in this episode, so if you don't agree with us on politics... be wary of pressing that play button. 

Thanks to our beloved Patreon member Mike Ratt (Grandpa Grindbin) for the amazing pick!

Blairvember continues with the 1981 slasher flick Hell Night - directed by Grindbin all-star Tom DeSimone. Four college pledges are forced to spend the night in a haunted mansion and find themselves stalked by a not-so-mysterious killer. Will Linda survive? Will she talk loud enough so we can understand her? Did Tom DeSimone learn not to include boom mics in the shots? The answer to these questions and more are answered on this episode of the Grindbin. 

Mann, Bobby, and Mike are joined by long-time listener and Grindbin Patreon member David from Australia! David brings Ozploitation back to the bin with the legendary Brian Trenchard-Smith flick, Turkey Shoot. We also make him explain himself for choosing Lunch Wagon... and the way back in the early days of the Grindbin.

Chuck Norris arrives on the Grindbin in one of his best Cannon Films outing. A movie that cut out all the story but left the action is a perfect example of why Cannon Films was a standout among the typical big-budget offerings of the time. 

Chris and Mike wrap up Blairvember with a hidden treasure in Linda's filmography, 1987's direct-to-video action film Nightforce. When her friend is kidnapped by a Central American drug cartel Linda enlists the help of her friends to go do something about it; because as the tagline says, " Some People Give a Damn!" We also have an appearance from a very special guest in this episode!

Chris and Mike delve into a movie that has connections to a number of past episodes. On this show we are dubbing the "grindbin all stars" a slew of actors from other movies we've covered converge to create one steaming pile of terribleness. Is it really that bad? You'll have to listen to find out.

This week Chris and Mike try and explain one of the most bizarre films ever made, Supervixens; directed by Russ Meyer - king of the sexploitation genre.

Clint Ramsey is forced to leave his dream job at a gas station when his wife is murdered by a psycho cop, Harry Sledge. From here things only get weirder as Clint is continually accosted by busty women who force themselves onto him until he is reunited with his one true love, a new job at a gas station.

Chris and Mike also try their hands at internet dating with Kim Bentley from Malibu High (1979).

Tim, Robby, Mike Ratt, and Mike talk about the ill-fated Monkees movie that drove the final nail in the coffin of their career. Head, written by Jack Nickolson and directed by the man who brought you Easy Rider, is a movie way ahead of its time. A mind-bending film that emulates being on hallucinogens starring America's favorite fake Beatles; featuring an actual murder on screen. This one is a wild ride. 

On this episode of The Grindbin we cover an exploitation movie that might have been dropped off from another dimension. One in which sultry gangs of cheerleaders prey on unsuspecting men and suck the life out of them. They operate under the guise of rooting for sports teams and prancing around in mini skirts but these "cheerleaders" are spreading much more than school spirit. The Cheerleaders (1973) is a true classic of grindhouse cinema that is worth your attention. 

In other news, please check out our kickstarter project: 5,4,3,2,1 a short film direct by Jesse Michaels (the singer of Operation Ivy).

Bobby, Daniel, and Mike are joined by Mike Justice to discuss a recent Patreon Poll winner. After her mother and lover are killed by a hammerman, Ellie is sent to a mysterious orphanage full of sausage eaters, reanimated corpses, and Uncle Leo!

This epsiode is a request from one of our Grindbin All-Stars on our Patreon. Thanks Hughie for your support!

Alan Arkin plays a past his prime superhero (you read that right) trying to stop the evil Christopher Lee from ethincally cleansing New York City. Also, it's a musical.

Pia Zadora finally returns to the bin! Yobo, Bobby, new guest Jeff, and Mike discuss this Pia Zadora, Telly Savalas crime caper in Las Vegas. Despite being financed by Pia's then husband, filmed at his hotel (The Riveria), and simply a vehicle for more Pia screen time, this is a strangely enjoyable movie! So grab a Pia-tina and enjoy extended scenes of Telly gambling and grabbing butts. 

This episode featured some technical difficulties in our first hour. If you're interested in seeing and hearing the almost four hour cut (including live watches of Telly Savalas music videos) check out our Patreon. 

Faustus, Mann, and Mike are here to discuss the most infamous Yip tease of all time! Sex and Zen is truly one of the most insane movies ever made... words can't do it justice.

Faustus and the McCollum boys join Mike to talk about one of the most shocking movies to ever come to the Grindbin. Bare Behind Bars is a mysterious women in prison movie from Brazil that features both the 7th and 8th wonders of the world!

Nazis, mad scientists, time machines, and a hero who has the charisma of a tree stump... That's the Yesterday Machine! Mike, Bobby, and special guest Lee are here to discuss a movie recommended by one of our amazing Patreon members Mike Ratcliff... thanks Mike?

Yobo, Jersey James, Bobby, and Mike discuss a real NEW YORK movie. A karateman goes on a search-and-destroy mission to kill the ruthless landlords who maybe murdered his father. We learn all about the New York of the 70's complete with old building kings, marking your territory, and how the rats used to be great! 

The Patreon Poll winner for "Silva September" is here... in October! 

Vaughn, Chuck, Bobby, and Mike discuss the Fernando Di Leo crime drama in which Henry Silva plays our leading man (only not in his own voice). Does the Boss live up to the hype? Will we get a complete org chart of the mob before the movie is over? Did we find yet another Grindbin movie sponsored by J&B Scotch?! All this... and more!

Faustus, Nick, Bobby, and Mike discuss the best movie to ever be on the Grindbin. John Woo's Hard Boiled is one of the greatest action movies of all time and is a classic of Hong Kong cinema. Da da da da da da da...Tequila! 

Chris and Mike are back in the old Crown International trash bin to uncover a real hidden gem, 1974's Policewomen. It has everything you could ever want and expect from a Crown film: a bad sex scene, karate, a woman doing a job men think she's unqualified for, and of course lots and lots of back. 

Mike, Bobby, and Julie are joined by Captain Jack Heartless from the Captain Jack's Armbar Emporium podcast to discuss one of the most successful independent movies of all time, Billy Jack. The story behind the husband and wife duo of Tom Laughlin and Delores Taylor making this movie is filled with all sorts of twists and turns; even a presidential campaign! Get ready to be wopped by the Grindbin.

What happens when Cannon films gives a two time pulitzer prize winning author the chance to write and direct any movie he wants? The greatest failure of cinema ever created.  

Tanner, Wick, Bobby, and Mike discuss the Frank Henenlotter classic, Frankenhooker (1990). When a "medical student" looses his fiance in a tragic lawnmower accident, Jeffrey pieces her back together with a bunch of sex worker parts and a little lightning, what could possibly go wrong?! 

The Patrons demanded it and it's finally here, Nashville Girl has made it to the Grindbin. Monica Gayle (Patch from Switchblade Sisters) tries to make it in the country music business but just gets sexually assaulted by multiple men for 90 minutes. Why did everyone want this movie to be on the show so much? Because they enjoy our pain. 

The first week of Blairvember kicks off with a movie featuring 7 Grindbin All-Stars! "Bail Out" finds Linda Blair committing some sort of crime and David Hasselhoff serving as her bail bondsman... or something like that... do you know what this movie is about? Seriously, do you?

Herschell Gordon Lewis returns to the Grindbin with one of his earlier outings, 1964's Two Thousand Maniacs! A more expensive take on his first film, Blood Feast, Lewis refines the gore film that made him famous. When a group of Northerners rides through the town of Pleasant Valley on their way to Florida they find themselves in the middle of a once-in-a-centennial celebration.
