    Episode 8: Repo Man – Punk Rock, Radioactive Cars & Automotive Anarchy

    Grab your tow truck, check the boot for suspicious glowing objects, and whatever you do...don't open the trunk of a mysterious Chevrolet, because this week on the B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast, Duncan & The Baz hit the streets for Repo Man (1984)...the gloriously grimy punk-rock sci-fi where car repossession, teenage rebellion, government conspiracies and an extraterrestrial corpse collide in one very radioactive vehicle. Because apparently being unemployed and angry at society wasn't enough. Now you're repossessing cars. And one contains something that could turn you into a glowing skeleton. Repo Man is 80s cult filmmaking at its most anarchic. Punk rock. Dodgy repo men. Government conspiracies. Alien technology. Existential crises. And one extremely suspicious Chevrolet that nobody should open. It's funny. It's weird. It's aggressively punk. And somehow...it makes car repossession look like the coolest job in America. We tackle the questions no repo man, government agent or Chevrolet owner wants answered: How does Otto go from ordinary young man to professional repo man surrounded by criminals, corrupt cops and radioactive alien nonsense? What's inside that glowing car...and why does everyone keep opening the boot? Does this movie have the best soundtrack ever? And why does Repo Man make punk rock, car theft and existential crises look like a reasonable career? Emilio Estevez's Punk Transformation – Otto discovers car repossession and suddenly he's stealing cars, dodging cops and dealing with radioactive alien nonsense. Career advice: don't become a repo man. The Repo Men – They steal cars. Threaten people. Drink heavily. Shoot first. Somehow they're still the most functional people in the movie. That's worrying. The Glowing Car – What's in the trunk? Why is it glowing? Why does everyone want it? Cinema's ultimate "Whatever you do...don't open that." Naturally...everybody does. Otto's Existential Crisis – He's disillusioned with work, authority and society...then discovers professional car theft might be his calling. The Punk Rock Energy – Repo Man doesn't simply feature punk culture...it feels like punk culture. Music, clothes, attitude and characters all rebel against convention. Along the way we explore the film's anarchic blend of punk rock, science fiction, teenage rebellion and government conspiracy, celebrate its wonderfully strange characters, and try to work out what the hell is going on with that glowing Chevrolet. We also ask: Is Repo Man a genuinely smart and subversive slice of punk sci-fi...or simply what happens when you combine car thieves, government conspiracies, existential philosophy and a radioactive alien corpse? Honestly? Probably both. So grab your keys, keep your boot firmly closed, and whatever you do...don't investigate the glowing car. Here at B-Movie Blitzkrieg, the bizarre meets the brilliant, one B-Movie at a time. Next Episode Drops Friday 23rd October: We're leaving the repo yard, the glowing Chevrolet and whatever remains of good taste firmly at the door. Next time Duncan & The Baz dive into Pink Flamingos (1972)...John Waters' gloriously filthy, confrontational assault on good taste. And if Repo Man was punk...Pink Flamingos is something considerably more...Pink. Considerably more...Flamingo. And considerably less...Fucking normal. Expect Divine. Expect depravity. Expect shocking behaviour. And expect us to question why we decided this was a good idea. Above all, expect the competition for "Filthiest Person Alive." After mutants, spiders, baskets, sewer monsters and radioactive cars, apparently the only logical next step was John Waters. Until then...Keep your cars locked...Don't open mysterious glowing boots...Stay away from radioactive Chevrolets...And whatever you do... Don't eat the dog.

    Episode 7: C.H.U.D. – Sewer Slime, Government Schemes & Underground Nightmares

    Grab your flashlight, avoid suspicious manhole covers, and whatever you do...don't go wandering around the New York sewer system alone, because this week on the B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast, Duncan & The Baz descend beneath the streets for C.H.U.D. (1984)...the gloriously grimy creature feature where toxic waste, government conspiracies and cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers combine to make New York's already questionable infrastructure considerably worse. Because apparently traffic, muggings and dodgy hot dogs weren't enough. Now there's something living beneath your feet. They're hungry. They're mutated. They're extremely unfriendly. And judging by the amount of time they've spent underground...they've clearly never heard of Rightmove. C.H.U.D. is 80s creature-feature filmmaking at its most atmospheric. Gritty streets. Dark tunnels. Government cover-ups. Radioactive waste. Missing people. And monsters that look like someone melted a pumpkin, gave it glowing eyes and told it to start eating pedestrians. It's dirty. It's claustrophobic. It's wonderfully practical. And somehow...it makes you very nervous about opening a manhole cover. In This Episode:We head underground and tackle the questions no New York sanitation worker, government official or sewer-dweller would ever want answered: Why does nobody seem particularly concerned when people start disappearing around manholes? How exactly do the C.H.U.D.s organise themselves beneath the city? Why does the government always seem to have a secret toxic-waste project in these movies? And just how much radioactive waste can one sewer system realistically handle? Top 5 Rad / Sad & Bad Moments: The C.H.U.D. Design – rubbery, ugly, practical and absolutely perfect for a low-budget 1980s monster movie. They're not polished...and that's exactly the point. That Cop just ate his phone money – no words can convey the power move this scene is! The Government Conspiracy – because apparently mutant sewer monsters aren't enough. Add toxic waste, secret projects and corporate cover-ups and you've got yourself a proper B-movie conspiracy. What was in that shower drain – A tsunami of blood spews up…and we still don’t know why? Along the way we explore the film's blend of creature horror and urban paranoia, celebrate its wonderfully old-school practical effects, and ask the ultimate Blitzkrieg question: Is C.H.U.D. a genuinely atmospheric slice of 80s creature-feature horror...or simply what happens when you combine New York's sewer system with radioactive waste and absolutely no meaningful government oversight? Honestly? Probably both. So grab your flashlight, stay away from suspicious drains, and whatever you do...don't look down.Because you never know what's living underneath. Here at B-Movie Blitzkrieg, the bizarre meets the brilliant, one B-Movie at a time. Next Episode Drops Friday 9th October: We're leaving the sewers. We're leaving New York. And we're heading west. Into the desert. And we're bringing along a mysterious glowing car battery that absolutely, definitely DOES NOT contain an alien corpse. Probably. Next time Duncan & The Baz tackle Repo Man (1984)...a movie that asks the terrifyingly simple question: "What if punk rock, government conspiracies, teenage delinquency and extraterrestrial technology were all thrown into the back of a Chevrolet?" Expect punk. Expect paranoia. Expect glowing car boots. Expect Harry Dean Stanton. Expect Emilio Estevez. And expect us to discover that the worst thing you can possibly do in a B-Movie is open the boot of a mysterious car. Until then...Keep away from suspicious manholes...Don't trust anyone carrying radioactive waste...And if something starts crawling out of the sewer...RUN.

    Episode 6: Basket Case – Wicker Baskets, Mutant Mayhem & Manhattan Madness

    Keep your basket firmly closed, avoid suspicious-looking luggage, and whatever you do...don't ask what's inside, because this week on the B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast, Duncan & The Baz check into one of the sleaziest, strangest and most gloriously low-budget hotels in cult cinema with Basket Case (1982). Frank Henenlotter's twisted tale of brotherly love, revenge and extremely questionable medical practices takes us deep into the grimy underbelly of early-80s New York...where dodgy doctors operate in secret, hotel guests come and go, and one very suspicious wicker basket contains something that really, really doesn't want to be disturbed. That something is Belial. A deformed, angry and surprisingly mobile little nightmare who has spent years living in a basket while his brother Duane attempts to navigate life, revenge and a rather complicated relationship with his own family history. It's weird. It's sleazy. It's occasionally disgusting. And somehow...it's become a cult classic. In This Episode: We check into the seediest hotel in Manhattan and tackle the questions no respectable hotel manager, surgeon or basket manufacturer would ever want answered: Why does nobody seem remotely concerned about the suspicious basket that growls, shakes and requires a heavy-duty padlock? Is Belial a genuine B-movie horror icon...or one of the strangest-looking creatures ever committed to stop-motion? How does Duane manage to maintain a normal life while carrying around his extremely abnormal brother? And why does this movie's version of New York feel like everyone is one bad decision away from becoming part of the plot? Top 5 Rad / Sad & Bad Moments: Belial – love him or hate him, there is absolutely no ignoring the little bastard. From his movements to his facial expressions, he's one of the most unforgettable creations in low-budget horror. The Hotel – a grimy, claustrophobic collection of bizarre characters that feels like the perfect home for a murderous mutant living inside a wicker basket. The Effects – stop-motion, puppetry, practical effects and plenty of rough edges. It's cheap, it's occasionally ropey, but it's also exactly the sort of handmade filmmaking that gives Basket Case its personality. The Kissing Scene – romance takes a spectacularly uncomfortable turn as Baz attempts to work out exactly what Duane is doing with his face. The Final Confrontation – revenge, brotherly rage and Belial unleashed in a climax that proves once again that sometimes the only way to solve a family dispute is with a deformed mutant and an extremely bad temper. Along the way we dig into Frank Henenlotter's DIY filmmaking, grimy New York atmosphere, Duane and Belial's relationship, and why the film became a cult favourite despite its tiny budget. Naturally, we ask the ultimate Blitzkrieg question: Is Basket Case inventive underground horror...or simply what happens when you put a mutant twin in a wicker basket and let him loose in Manhattan? We're still deciding. So check the locks, keep your luggage close, and whatever you do...don't open the basket. You never know what's inside. Here at B-Movie Blitzkrieg, the bizarre meets the brilliant, one B-Movie at a time. Next Episode Drops Friday 18th September: We're staying in the city...but this time we're going underground. Something is moving beneath the streets. Next time Duncan & The Baz tackle C.H.U.D. (1984)...a movie that asks: "What if the New York sewer system was full of cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers?" Expect grimy tunnels, toxic waste, urban paranoia and rubbery creature effects as we descend beneath New York. Until then... Keep your basket closed... Keep away from suspicious surgeons... And remember: If your luggage starts growling...don't investigate.

    Episode 5: Kingdom of the Spiders – Eight-Legged Terror, Small-Town Screams & Maximum Shatner

    B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast – Season 2 Episode 5 Kingdom of the Spiders (1977) Hide your shoes, check the corners of the room, and whatever you do...don't look under the bed, because Duncan & The Baz are marching into one of the creepiest, crawliest and most gloriously committed creature features of the 1970s. This week on The B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast, we're tackling Kingdom of the Spiders (1977)...the film where William Shatner, a small Arizona town and approximately one million eight-legged nightmares collide in a wonderfully hairy explosion of panic, polyester and arachnophobia. Imagine if Jaws replaced the shark with spiders, The Birds gave everyone eight legs, and William Shatner was allowed to dramatically react to absolutely everything. That's Kingdom of the Spiders. When livestock start dying under mysterious circumstances and venomous spiders begin appearing in alarming numbers, local veterinarian Robert "Rack" Hansen finds himself facing a threat considerably more difficult to put down than a sick cow. Unfortunately for Rack, these spiders aren't interested in staying politely outdoors. As the infestation spreads, the body count rises and the entire town finds itself trapped in a battle against an enemy that can crawl through windows, ceilings, cars and apparently every available gap in the Arizona landscape. Powered by William Shatner's maximum Shatner energy, a surprisingly effective sense of dread and an army of very real spiders, Kingdom of the Spiders turns a simple creature-feature premise into something far more unsettling. In This Episode: We tackle the burning questions no exterminator, veterinarian or arachnophobe ever dared to ask: How many spiders is too many spiders...and why is the answer apparently "never" for this production? Is Rack Hansen the greatest small-town vet in cinema history...or simply William Shatner wearing cowboy boots? At what point should a spider problem officially be upgraded to a military emergency? And seriously...who convinced hundreds of tarantulas to participate in a movie? Top 5 Rad / Sad & Bad Moments: William Shatner as Rack Hansen – delivering heroics, one-liners and enough intensity to suggest every spider personally offended him. The Spider Invasion – nothing says escalating tension like discovering there are suddenly thousands of them. The Bravest Kid Actor Ever – aint nobody getting spiders on either of your 'very' brave hosts The 'Shat of the Dance – think River Dance meets William Shatner The Final Nightmare – a genuinely memorable ending that takes the phrase "surrounded by spiders" to horrifying new levels. We celebrate a classic VHS creature feature, marvel at the sheer number of real spiders, and ask...is Kingdom of the Spiders 70s creature-feature brilliance, or just William Shatner shouting at tarantulas? The answer? Probably both. So grab a flamethrower ‘figuratively’, obviously, check your boots before putting them on, and remember... Here at B-Movie Blitzkrieg, the bizarre meets the brilliant one B-Movie at a time. Next Episode Drops Friday 11th September: We're leaving Arizona behind and heading for the sleazy streets of New York as Duncan & The Baz crack open one of the ultimate 80s cult classics...Basket Case (1982). Frank Henenlotter unleashes a tale of revenge, brotherly love, questionable motel etiquette and one very angry lump of flesh living inside a wicker basket. Because apparently family reunions weren't weird enough. Expect grimy New York streets, gloriously practical effects and enough mutant carnage to make you think twice before carrying hand luggage. Until then...check your shoes, avoid abandoned barns, and if you hear scratching from inside a wicker basket... Don't open it. Seriously.

    Episode 4: Space Truckers – Cosmic Convoys, Cyborg Carnage & Intergalactic Haulage

    B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast – Season 2 Episode 4 Space Truckers (1996) Buckle up, secure your cargo, and check your spaceship insurance because this week on the B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast, Duncan & The Baz leave the wasteland behind and head into deep space for Space Truckers (1996)...the only movie brave enough to combine Convoy, Star Wars, 90s sci-fi and Dennis Hopper into one gloriously deranged intergalactic road movie. We're in a future where gigantic cargo freighters cruise between planets, cyborg assassins roam the galaxy, space pirates are part of the logistics industry, and one trucker finds himself caught in a conspiracy involving stolen artificial organs, murderous robots and enough questionable Scottish accents to cause an international incident. Imagine if Mad Max, Escape from New York and an 80s sex comedy stumbled into the same nuclear bunker after one too many beers. That's Hell Comes to Frogtown. And behind it all? Dennis Hopper. Because apparently the universe wasn't chaotic enough already. Space Truckers is part space opera, part trucker movie and part fever dream cooked up in the back of a roadside diner. It's loud, colourful, ridiculous and packed with practical effects and miniature spacecraft that remind us why 90s science fiction could still feel like someone had actually built the damn thing. It's bonkers. It's beautiful. It's completely over the top. And somehow...it works. --- In This Episode: We climb into the cab and tackle the questions no intergalactic freight company would ever allow us to put in writing: How does Dennis Hopper make an interstellar trucker seem like the most qualified man in the galaxy? Why does this movie apparently believe Scottish accents are optional? What happens when Norm from Cheers gets behind the controls of a spaceship? And just what the hell is going on with the villain's...special upgrade? --- Top 5 Rad/Sad & Bad Moments: Dennis Hopper's Commitment, whether he understands the movie its maximum Hopper intensity, the result is glorious. The Villain's Special Upgrade, a cybernetic enhancement so gloriously ridiculous that once you've seen it, well.. The Space Pirate Chase, practical effects, miniature spacecraft and laser blasts. Ridiculous, but bloody brilliant. Along the way we celebrate the film's old-school sci-fi spectacle, marvel at its bizarre blend of trucking culture and space opera, and ask the ultimate Blitzkrieg question: Is Space Truckers a forgotten 90s sci-fi gem...or what happens when someone puts Convoy in a blender with Star Wars and launches the resulting smoothie into orbit? Honestly? We're leaning towards both. --- So strap yourself into the driver's seat, secure your cargo, don't trust anyone offering you a suspiciously large cybernetic upgrade, and remember...Here at B-Movie Blitzkrieg, the bizarre meets the brilliant, one B-Movie at a time. --- Episode 2 of Season 5 Coming 28th August: We're coming back down to Earth... Unfortunately, Earth has a problem. A problem with eight legs. A problem determined to wrap an entire town in webbing and turn rural America into an all-you-can-eat buffet. Next time Duncan & The Baz tackle Kingdom of the Spiders (1977)...a movie that asks the terrifyingly simple question: "What if Jaws...but spiders?" Expect creeping dread. Expect hairy-legged horror. Expect William Shatner going full Shatner against nature's most misunderstood nightmare. And expect at least one moment where you'll be checking your walls, ceiling, shoes and possibly reconsidering every countryside holiday you've ever taken. Until then...keep your cargo secured, keep your scanners active, keep an eye on the rear-view mirror, and remember: If the truck behind you is bigger than a planet and driven by Dennis Hopper...let it pass.

    Episode 3: Hell Comes to Frogtown – Mutant Mayhem, Fertility Frenzy & Amphibian Anarchy

    B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast – Season 2 Episode 3 Hell Comes to Frogtown (1988) Dust off your Geiger counters, lock up your valuables, and maybe avoid kissing anyone wearing green latex this week, because Duncan & The Baz are marching into one of the most gloriously ridiculous post-apocalyptic movies ever made. This week on The B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast, we're tackling Hell Comes to Frogtown (1988)...the only film where a professional wrestler, mutant frog-men, radioactive wastelands, an explosive chastity belt and humanity's future collide in ninety minutes of committed insanity. Imagine if Mad Max, Escape from New York and an 80s sex comedy stumbled into the same nuclear bunker after one too many beers. That's Hell Comes to Frogtown. Imagine if Mad Max, Escape from New York and an 80s sex comedy stumbled into the same nuclear bunker after one too many beers. That's Hell Comes to Frogtown. With civilisation reduced to dust and human fertility on the brink of extinction, mankind places its hopes on one man...Sam Hell. A drifter so absurdly fertile the government straps an explosive device around his most prized possession and sends him on a rescue mission. Naturally. Powered by Roddy Piper's charisma, inventive practical effects and outrageous ideas, Hell Comes to Frogtown never questions its own madness...and that's exactly why we love it. --- In This Episode: We tackle the burning questions no scientist, government official or mutant amphibian ever dared ask: Is Sam Hell humanity's greatest hope...or simply the luckiest man in the apocalypse? Why does the government think an explosive codpiece is sensible military hardware? Are the frog-men really the villains...or just running a surprisingly organised civilisation? And seriously...who looked at this script and thought, "Needs more frog costumes."? --- Top 5 Rad/Sad & Bad Moments: Roddy Piper as Sam Hell – proving absolute commitment makes any ridiculous premise believable. The Chastity Belt of Doom – the least desirable piece of post-apocalyptic technology ever conceived. The First Visit to Frogtown – where mutant amphibians somehow become convincing after thirty seconds. The Dance of Seduction – bizarre, hilarious and gloriously uncomfortable. The Final Assault – explosions, crossbows, mutant frogs and Roddy Piper punching everything that moves. Along the way we celebrate one of the VHS era's most charmingly bonkers action movies, discuss why practical effects overcome almost any budget, and ask the ultimate Blitzkrieg question...Is Hell Comes to Frogtown a hidden masterpiece beneath layers of latex...or ninety glorious minutes of complete nonsense? The answer? Probably both. --- So grab your survival gear, keep your distance from suspicious amphibians, and remember... Here at B-Movie Blitzkrieg, the bizarre meets the brilliant one B-Movie at a time. --- Episode 2 of Season 4 Coming 14th August: We're trading radioactive deserts for deep space as Duncan & The Baz tackle one of cinema's strangest sci-fi adventures...Space Truckers (1996). Dennis Hopper captains an interstellar freight run. Stephen Dorff is dragged into a galaxy-spanning conspiracy. Charles Dance unleashes murderous cyborgs. Scottish truck stops become space stations, artificial organs become hot property, and nobody seems prepared for the movie they're starring in. Expect cosmic chaos, bargain-bin blockbuster ambition, questionable accents, outrageous production design and enough wonderfully weird moments to make you wonder whether somebody accidentally launched Smokey and the Bandit into orbit. UUntil then...Watch out for mutant frogs...Never trust government-issued underwear...And if someone introduces themselves as Sam Hell......don't ask where they got the name. Just run. Or ribbit. We'll let you decide.

    Episode 2: Samurai Cop (1991) – Katanas, Chaos & The Greatest Wig in Action Cinema

    B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast – Season 2 Episode 2 Samurai Cop (1991) Sharpen your katana, fasten your seatbelt, and prepare to witness one of the most gloriously incompetent action movies ever committed to VHS because this week Duncan & The Baz dive headfirst into Samurai Cop (1991)...the cult classic that somehow combines hard-boiled police drama, martial arts, steamy romance and one of cinema's most infamous continuity disasters into ninety minutes of absolute cinematic delirium.From dialogue that sounds like it was translated through six different languages, to villains who chew scenery like it's an all-you-can-eat buffet, and a leading man whose hairstyle appears to have a mind of its own, Samurai Cop isn't simply a bad action movie...it's an experience.Every awkward line delivery, every exploding car, every flying katana and every miraculous hair transformation somehow combine to create a film that's impossible not to love.It's ridiculous. It's bewildering. It's unforgettable. --- In This Episode: We enter the dangerous world of organised crime while answering the questions nobody else was brave enough to ask: Is Joe Marshall the most overqualified cop in movie history...or simply the luckiest? Why does every woman he meets immediately fall hopelessly in love with him? Is the infamous wig actually the film's greatest villain? And...was anybody involved in this production even reading the same script? --- Top 5 Rad/Sad & Bad Moments: Joe Marshall arrives...and immediately becomes the greatest police officer, martial artist and ladies' man ever assembled. The 8 hospital romance...because grief apparently lasts about thirty seconds. Dialogue that feels like it was generated by AI before AI existed. That wig...you know the one. Does the script writer know what 'undercover' actually means? Along the way we celebrate everything that makes Samurai Cop such an enduring cult favourite, discuss why its glorious incompetence has become cinematic legend, and ask the ultimate Blitzkrieg question:Is Samurai Cop one of the worst action movies ever made...or one of the greatest accidental comedies ever put on film? --- Grab your leather jacket, keep your katana close, and whatever you do...don't look too closely at the continuity.Here at B-Movie Blitzkrieg, the bizarre meets the brilliant...one B-Movie at a time. --- Episode 2 of Season 3 Coming 31st July: Next time Duncan & The Baz venture into a radioactive wasteland where fertile humans are endangered, giant mutant frogs rule the desert, and humanity's last hope is Roddy Piper wearing an explosive chastity belt. That's right! It's time the boy's paid a little visit to Frogtown in the wacky wonderful Hell Comes to Frogtown (1988)Expect mutants. Expect mayhem.

    Season 2 Episode 1 : Birdemic: Shock & Terror – Feathers, Fury & Environmental Panic

    B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast – Season 2 Episode 1 Birdemic: Shock & Terror (2010) Fasten your seatbelts, keep one eye on the sky, and maybe invest in a sturdy coat hanger because Season 2 of the B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast launches with one of the most gloriously catastrophic cult movies ever committed to digital video. This week, Duncan & The Baz spread their wings and dive beak-first into Birdemic: Shock & Terror (2010)...the environmental romance-turned-avian apocalypse that somehow became one of the most legendary "so bad it's good" films of the modern era. From impossibly stiff performances and conversations that drift into another dimension, to computer-generated eagles that look like they escaped from a forgotten Windows screensaver, Birdemic isn't simply a bad movie...it's an experience. Every awkward pause, every exploding bird, and every inexplicable editing choice somehow combines into a film that's impossible to stop watching. It's earnest. It's baffling. It's unforgettable. --- In This Episode: We attempt to survive the flock while answering the questions nobody else was brave enough to ask: Are these the least threatening killer birds ever created...or the most dangerous PowerPoint presentation in cinema history? Why does the acting feel like the worst community play in history? How was this movie made in 2010? And...just how many times can one movie remind us about global warming before another CGI vulture explodes? --- Top 5 Rad/Sad & Bad Moments: The birds arrive...and immediately demonstrate that physics, animation and common sense have all taken the day off. Coathangers…huh The script is SOOOO fucking bad! Victoria Secret you say… The ending…we just gonna stand and stare out to sea? Along the way we celebrate director James Nguyen's unwavering sincerity, explore why Birdemic has earned genuine cult status despite (or because of) every technical shortcoming imaginable, and ask the ultimate Blitzkrieg question: Is Birdemic one of the worst films ever made...or one of the greatest accidental pieces of entertainment ever unleashed upon the world? --- Grab your solar panels, keep a coat hanger within arm's reach, and remember... Here at B-Movie Blitzkrieg, the bizarre meets the brilliant one B-Movie at a time. --- Episode 2 of Season 2 Coming 17th July: The law has arrived...although nobody involved seems entirely convinced of that fact. Next time Duncan & The Baz lock, load, and attempt to survive Samurai Cop (1991), the action masterpiece featuring a hero with a questionable wig, villains who chew scenery like it's an all-you-can-eat buffet, dialogue from another planet, and enough glorious continuity errors to keep film students employed for decades. Expect katana chaos, explosive one-liners, bewildering romance, and Baz asking the only question that really matters... "Was anybody actually in charge of this production?" Until then...stay weird, stay wild, and remember: If the birds attacking you look like they're flying on invisible strings...you're probably already watching Birdemic.

    Season 1 - End of Season Wrap Show

    B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast Season 1 - End of Season Wrap Show Loosen your belts, pour something strong, and prepare for some deeply questionable opinions… because The B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast is wrapping up Season 1 the only way we know how, by talking absolute nonsense for an extended period of time. After 22 films, countless rants, and more than a few “what did we just watch?” moments, Duncan & The Baz sit down to reflect on the chaos, the carnage, and the unexpected brilliance of their maiden voyage through the world of B-cinema. This isn’t just a recap… it’s a full-blown debrief. From how the podcast was born (somewhere between insomnia and a desire to drink with your buddy), to how the season somehow held together despite everything thrown at it, we take a look behind the curtain at what made Season 1 tick… and some how didn’t fall apart. And yes… Baz has thoughts. Many, many thoughts. It’s reflective. It’s unfiltered. It’s dangerously close to going off the rails at all times. Naturally… we wouldn’t have it any other way. --- In This Episode: How The B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast actually started and our surprise it hasn’t stopped Baz’s post-season verdict: has he been converted to B-movies… or traumatised for life? Duncan recaps/justify 22 episodes of cinematic chaos The moments that nearly broke us… and the ones that weirdly impressed us Top 5 Best & Worst of Season 1: Because no season wrap-up would be complete without some bold claims and inevitable disagreements…how close are our lists actually? Expect arguments. Expect contradictions. Expect at least one of these picks to cause outrage as Duncan & The Baz dig into how Season 1 evolved from a simple idea into a weekly descent into madness, why some films surprised them in the best ways, and how others… well… tested their will to continue. They also tackle the big question: Is Baz now a B-movie believer… or has this entire experience just lowered his standards permanently? --- Season 2 Tease – Coming July 2026 Just when you thought it was safe…We’re coming back. Season 2 is already shaping up to be bigger, weirder, and possibly even more unhinged, with a fresh batch of cult classics, notorious disasters, and hidden gems waiting to be discovered (or endured). Expect a mix of: More creature features that absolutely ignore physics Sci-fi that asks big questions… and answers none of them Action films where explosions replace logic And at least one film that makes Zardoz look restrained --- A Sneak Peek at What’s Coming: Birdemic: Shock and Terror (2010) – Because apparently we didn’t suffer enough the first time. Samurai Cop (1991) – A law enforcement masterclass in wigs, explosions, and absolute nonsense. Kingdom of the Spiders (1977) – Nature strikes back… with an unreasonable number of legs. Surf Nazis Must Die (1987) – Yes, that’s the title. No, it doesn’t get less ridiculous. The Kindred (1987) – Science, secrets, and something deeply unpleasant in the basement. The Stuff (1985) – It’s back… and somehow still looks deliciously suspicious. --- And that’s just the beginning. Is it sensible? No. Is it necessary? Also no. Are we doing it anyway? Absolutely. Because sometimes the best discoveries come from the films you were never supposed to take seriously. So raise a glass to Season 1, brace yourself for what’s next, and remember… if a movie looks like a bad idea… it’s probably perfect for this podcast. Until next time, stay bold, stay bizarre, and never trust a film that claims to be “so bad it’s good”… because here at B-Movie Blitzkrieg the bizarre meets the brilliant one B-Movie at a time.

    Episode 20: Q: The Winged Serpent (1982) – The Roof, The Roof, The Roof is Not Safe

    B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast – Episode 20 Q: The Winged Serpent (1982) Lock your windows, avoid tall buildings, and maybe don’t look up… because The B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast is closing out Season 1 with a screeching, flapping, flesh-eating bang. This week, Duncan & The Baz take on the gloriously scrappy creature feature Q: The Winged Serpent (1982), a film that dares to ask the important question: what if an ancient Aztec sky god decided to set up shop on the Chrysler Building and start snacking on New Yorkers? Directed by cult legend Larry Cohen, this low-budget chaos machine delivers ritual sacrifices, police incompetence, and a stop-motion monster that somehow looks both ridiculous and genuinely threatening… depending on the angle (and your tolerance for 80s effects). At the centre of it all is Michael Moriarty, giving a performance so unhinged it feels like it might derail the film at any moment… and yet somehow elevates it into something truly 'special'. It’s gritty. It’s bizarre. It’s peak “New York is falling apart” cinema. Naturally… we’re ending the season with it. --- In This Episode: Is Q a hidden gem of creature horror or just a beautifully chaotic mess? Duncan tries to explain his love of stop motion. The Baz questions everything … Duncan answers nothing. Did we just learn that the Baz was a Kung-Fu fan? --- Top 5 Rad/Sad & Bad Moments: The reveal of Quetzalcoatl (or “Q” to Scottish people with Scottish tongues)...equal parts majestic and...someone definitely animated this in their garage. Summoned by a Serial Killer or happy accident? You decide! Why are only a small group of cops hunting this winged beast? Do guns solve all crisis moments? That ending… because nothing says closure like “we’ll deal with that later.” Duncan & The Baz dig into why Q: The Winged Serpent punches well above its weight, how it captures a grimy, paranoid version of 1980s New York, and why sometimes a film’s limitations are exactly what make it memorable. Is it polished? Not even slightly. Is it coherent? Debatable. Is it a perfect Season 1 finale? Absolutely. Because sometimes the best B-Movies aren’t the slickest or the smartest… they’re the ones held together with ambition, madness, and just enough practical effects to make you believe a giant sky lizard might actually be nesting above Manhattan. --- So keep your eyes on the skyline, avoid suspicious chanting on rooftops, and remember… if something massive flies overhead… it’s probably already too late. Until next time, stay bold, stay bizarre, and never trust a city that doesn’t notice a giant monster living above it… because here at B-Movie Blitzkrieg the bizarre meets the brilliant one B-Movie at a time. --- Season One Wrap-Up Coming 10th April We’re not quite done yet. Join Duncan & The Baz for a special extended Season One round-up episode dropping April 10th, where we take a step back from the madness and look at how this beautifully chaotic season came together. We’ll be diving into: Our Top 5 Best and Top 5 Worst films from all 22 movies we covered Behind-the-scenes chat on how the podcast evolved (and occasionally derailed) The surprises, disasters, and unexpected gems of Season 1 And a sneak peek at what’s coming in Season 2 (July 2026) Longer, looser, and packed with questionable opinions...it’s the victory lap this season deserves. Because if there’s one thing we’ve learned… it’s that B-movies are never boring.

    Episode 19: Zardoz (1974) – The Gun Is Good, The Nappy Is Eternal

    B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast – Episode 19 Zardoz (1974) Strap on your bandoliers, adjust your red nappy, and prepare for maximum philosophical confusion… The B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast is diving headfirst into the wonderfully unhinged world of Zardoz. This week, Duncan & The Baz attempt to unpack one of the most gloriously baffling cult films ever committed to celluloid. Directed by John Boorman and starring a moustachioed Sean Connery who clearly lost a bet with his agent, Zardoz delivers floating stone heads, post-apocalyptic weirdness, and philosophical musings that may or may not make sense depending on how much wine you've had. Set in a strange future where brutal “Brutals” serve an elite class of immortal intellectuals known as the Eternals, Connery’s Exterminator Zed discovers that the giant flying god-head dispensing guns and wisdom might not be quite what it seems. What follows is a psychedelic collision of sci-fi, social commentary, and wardrobe decisions that humanity was not prepared for. It’s confusing. It’s pretentious. It’s deeply weird. Naturally… we love it…or at least one of us does. --- In This Episode: Is Zardoz a misunderstood sci-fi masterpiece or just completely off its rocker? The Baz defends the power of cock mastery Duncan attempts (and possibly fails) why he loves this movie. Sean Connery’s is in this movie? How the hell did that happen? --- Top 5 Rad/Sad & Bad Moments: The giant floating stone head delivering the immortal line: “THE GUN IS GOOD. THE PENIS IS EVIL.” ... Subtlety was clearly not invited. Connery’s power over the turgidity of his penis The Eternals’ … on a scale of 1 - 10…how much does Baz actually hate them? Floating heads and vacuum packed sex dolls Duncan & The Baz dig into how Zardoz swings wildly between high-concept philosophy and absolute madness, why the film feels like a science-fiction fever dream, and how Sean Connery somehow commits 100% to every bizarre moment. Is it pretentious? Yes. Is it ridiculous? Also yes. Is it unforgettable cult cinema? Absolutely. Because sometimes the best B-movies aren’t the ones that make perfect sense… they’re the ones that leave you staring at the screen wondering what just happened. --- So polish your floating god head, question the nature of immortality, and remember… if a giant stone face starts throwing guns at you… things have probably gone very wrong. Until next time, stay bold, stay bizarre, and never trust a philosophical monologue delivered by a levitating monument…because here at B-Movie Blitzkrieg the bizarre meets the brilliant one B-Movie at a time. --- Season Finale Incoming Episode 20 drops Thursday, 27th March For the Season One finale, Duncan & The Baz head to 1980s New York to tackle rooftop cultists, stop-motion monsters, and one extremely angry flying reptile in Q: The Winged Serpent. Expect ancient Aztec gods, questionable police work, and Michael Moriarty absolutely losing his mind in the best possible way. Because nothing says season finale quite like a giant monster nesting on the Chrysler Building. And remember… The gun may be good… but a winged serpent is considerably worse.

    Episode 18: The Warriors - Can You Dig It? Neon Gangs & Mythic Mayhem

    B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast – Episode 18 The Warriors (1979) Clink your bottles, lace up your Converse, and watch out for roller skates — The B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast is hitting the mean streets of New York with The Warriors. This week, Duncan & The Baz run the gauntlet through Walter Hill’s neon-drenched, mythic vision of urban chaos, where gangs dress like Halloween never ended and every subway stop is a potential boss fight.Loosely inspired by The Anabasis (yes, really), this cult classic follows the wrongly accused Warriors as they battle their way home across a hostile city after a citywide gang summit goes catastrophically wrong. With face paint, baseball bats, and one of the most iconic villains in cult cinema history, this is street-level fantasy masquerading as a grindhouse thriller...and we absolutely love it. --- In This Episode: Is The Warriors a timeless classic? The Baz is all about full bush, no bras and bitch'n soundtracks. Shocking subway deaths. Duncan talks Cyrus...visionary leader or guy who absolutely needed better security? --- Top 5 Rad/Sad & Bad Moments: Cyrus’ “Can You Dig It?” speech...electrifying, prophetic, and instantly fatal. Park benches...handcuffs...police handbreak turns...nuff said. Leather vests and no tops underneath...if only we had the figure to pull that look off?! The DJ’s omniscient radio narration...somehow everywhere, always vibing. We dig into how The Warriors transforms New York into a surreal battleground, why its gangs feel like urban folklore, and how the film’s stripped-down dialogue and pounding music turn a simple chase into something legendary. It’s gritty, it’s stylish, and it proves that the scariest thing in the city isn’t crime...it’s organised cosplay. --- So grab your crew, stick together, and remember… once the sun comes up, the rules change.Until next time, stay bold, stay bizarre, and never underestimate a gang with a theme because here at B-Movie Blitzkrieg… the bizarre meets the brilliant one B-Movie at a time. --- Next Episode Drops Thursday, 13th MarchNext time, we leave the streets behind and head straight into existential madness with Zardoz. Expect floating stone heads, red nappies, philosophical monologues, and Sean Connery making choices that cannot be undone.So remember… the gun is good… and so is questioning reality at volume.

    Episode 17: Night of the Comet - Mall Rats, Mutants & End-of-the-World Chic

    B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast – Episode 17 Night of the Comet (1984) Grab your Uzis, tease that ’80s hair, and make a run for the nearest shopping mall…The B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast is staring down the apocalypse with Night of the Comet (1984). This week, Duncan & The Baz cruise into a synth-soaked, neon-lit wasteland where most of humanity has been vaporised by a cosmic light show… and the survivors are mostly valley girls, maniacs, and mad scientists. Directed by Thom Eberhardt, this cult classic blends sci-fi, horror, and mall-punk comedy into a surprisingly charming end-of-days romp. Catherine Mary Stewart and Kelli Maroney shine as Regina and Samantha, two sisters who dodge comet-induced extinction thanks to the protective power of steel shipping containers (science!). What follows is a cross-country joyride through empty cities, zombie-adjacent weirdos, automatic weapons, and the eternal question: if the world ends… who gets the shopping mall? --- In This Episode: The logic of the comet? The Baz built a sex doll once. Duncan defends the end of this movie. Are all truck drivers serial killers? --- Top 5 Rad/Sad & Bad Moments: The comet itself…beautiful, deadly, and wildly inconsiderate. The sexual tension. Synths all the way baby. The end of this movie…spoiler alert…Baz hates it. We dig into why Night of the Comet has endured as a cult favourite…equal parts goofy, grim, and weirdly optimistic…and whether it’s secretly one of the most fun apocalypse movies ever made. It’s got heart, it’s got lasers, and it’s got a serious beef with authority figures. --- So lock the doors, raid the food court, and keep one eye on the sky… because not every extinction event comes with this much attitude. Until next time, stay bold, stay bizarre, and never trust a scientist in mirrored sunglasses.
Here at B-Movie Blitzkrieg… the bizarre meets the brilliant one B-Movie at a time. --- Next Episode is Dropping Thursday, 27th February War paint on, bottles clinking…next time we hit the streets of New York with The Warriors (1979). Expect gangs in baseball gear, iconic synth beats, mythic urban mayhem, and one of the greatest midnight-movie vibes ever committed to film.

    Episode 16: Shakma - Dice, Dungeons & Deranged Baboons

    B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast – Episode 16 Shakma (1990) Roll initiative, barricade the doors, and for the love of all that is holy… pick up a phone. This week, The B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast is trapped in a concrete maze with Shakma (1990)…the killer-baboon horror-thriller that stretches a razor-thin premise to breaking point and then keeps going for another 20 minutes just to spite you. Duncan & The Baz descend into an underground medical facility where a group of grad students decide that the best place to play a live-action Dungeons & Dragons-style game is…a building full of lethal experiments and fully functioning telephones they absolutely refuse to use. Directed by Hugh Parks and Tom Logan, Shakma pits our would-be heroes against an enraged baboon hopped up on experimental drugs, military-grade aggression, and pure narrative convenience. The setup is fun. The baboon is genuinely intimidating. But dear god…the decision-making. From endless running down identical corridors to ignoring obvious escape routes, this is one of those films where the monster might not even be the biggest threat…human stupidity is. Is it an underrated oddity with something to say, or just another stitched-together curiosity from the grindhouse operating table? --- In This Episode: Why no one thinks to call for help despite being surrounded by phones? The Baz’s growing frustration as the runtime refuses to end. Duncan’s attempts to explain 100 men vs a gorilla to Baz. Whether Shakma is a solid creature feature buried under bad choices and padding. --- Top 5 Rad/Sad & Bad Moments: Shakma himself…a legitimately scary, angry baboon doing serious work. Then there is SO MUCH SHAKMA in this movie. This Baboon can’t open cupboard doors?. A finale that arrives long after the audience has mentally checked out. The overwhelming sense that this could’ve been a tight 80 minutes… but absolutely isn’t. We dig into whether Shakma earns cult status as a mean-spirited creature movie, or if it’s a cautionary tale about editing, pacing, and what happens when nobody in a script has common sense. There’s fun to be had here…but it’s buried under repetition, baffling logic, and a runtime that feels like it’s rolling critical failures on every turn. --- So sharpen your dice, map your exits, and remember, if you’re in a building full of phones during a killer-baboon rampage… use one. Until next time, stay bold, stay bizarre, and never split the party. Here at B-Movie Blitzkrieg… the bizarre meets the brilliant, one B-Movie at a time. --- Next Episode is Dropping 13th February Break out the Uzis, hit the mall, and watch the sky… Episode 17 blasts off with The Night of the Comet (1984). Expect valley-girl survivors, dusty apocalypse vibes, synth-heavy ’80s charm, and zombies that absolutely did not get the memo. It’s end-of-the-world fun with big hair, bigger shoulder pads, and radioactive shopping trips. Don’t miss it…the comet waits for no one.

    Episode 15: Blackenstein - Shock, Schlock & Shambling Science

    B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast – Episode 15 Blackenstein (1973) Sharpen your scalpels and warm up the thunder sound effects… The B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast is cracking open the slab for Blackenstein (1973) the blaxploitation-flavoured Frankenstein riff that dares to ask: what if Mary Shelley, Vietnam War trauma, and disco-era exploitation cinema all collided at once? This week, Duncan & The Baz descend into a world of mad doctors, revenge-fuelled monsters, and a script that seems to have been reanimated from at least three different drafts. Directed by William A. Levey and produced by low-budget legend David F. Friedman, Blackenstein tells the tragic tale of Eddie Turner, a wounded Vietnam vet rebuilt by experimental “science”… and promptly turned into a lumbering agent of rage with a very loose grip on narrative logic. There’s social commentary buried somewhere under the monster makeup, mixed with gothic horror tropes, soap-opera melodrama, and some truly baffling character decisions. Is it an underrated oddity with something to say, or just another stitched-together curiosity from the grindhouse operating table? --- In This Episode: Blaxploitation meets Frankenstein…bold fusion or tonal tug-of-war? The Baz grapples with the racial eithics or lack-there-of of the filmmakers DNA right…but hybrid animal DNA?…what in the Moreau is going on here? Bad attempts to locate the film’s plot against it’s runtime… with mixed results. --- Top 5 Rad/Sad & Bad Moments: The monster’s design errrmm. The “Science” of the movie. Tiger Leg for the win. Racial ethics be damned said the writer and director of this movie. The ending...mans best friend is a Blackensteins worst foe. We dig into whether Blackenstein deserves reappraisal as a socially conscious horror experiment, or if it’s best enjoyed as a messy midnight-movie relic held together by thunderclaps and good intentions. Either way, it’s a fascinating slice of ’70s exploitation that refuses to stay buried. --- So power up the generators, check your stitches, and remember…just because you can reanimate a movie idea, doesn’t mean you should. Until next time, stay bold, stay bizarre, and always question the ethics board. Here at B-Movie Blitzkrieg… the bizarre meets the brilliant, one B-Movie at a time. --- Next Episode is Dropping 30th January Lock the doors and hide the bananas… Episode 16 unleashes Shakma (1990). Expect killer primates, unethical experiments, RPG-gone-wrong energy, and one of cinema’s angriest baboons. It’s dungeon-crawling terror with fangs, fur, and a body count…and yes, Shakma will scream.

    Episode 14: Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers - Rack to the Future: Cleavage & Chainsaws

    B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast – Episode 14 Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers (1988) Fire up your petrol-powered perms and guard your scalp, because this week on the B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast, Duncan & The Baz are hacking their way through the neon-soaked fever nightmare that is Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers (1988)… the only film bold enough to mix cults, call girls, chainsaws, and an inexplicably sweaty 80s detective with the emotional range of a damp bar mat. Fire up your petrol-powered perms and guard your scalp, because this week on the B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast, Duncan & The Baz are hacking their way through the neon-soaked fever nightmare that is Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers (1988)… the only film bold enough to mix cults, call girls, chainsaws, and an inexplicably sweaty 80s detective with the emotional range of a damp bar mat.This isn’t just sleaze. It’s a glitter-splattered, blood-spritzed love letter to grindhouse excess where every problem can be solved with a chainsaw duel and a vaguely offended-looking customer service manager. Featuring Gunnar Hansen (yes, that Leatherface) and enough hairspray to punch a hole in the ozone, this movie asks the ultimate question: “What if the Texas Chainsaw Massacre had a dress code and a loyalty card?”The answer: absolute chaos. --- In This Episode: We bravely pursue the questions no self-respecting film scholar would touch with a 10-foot power tool: Did Gunnar Hansen's agent get a bonus for chainsaw related script finds? How many chainsaws is too many chainsaws? (Trick question: there is no limit.) There is soo much body oil...way this the inspiration for the Diddy Party? Who funds this cult? --- Top 5 Rad/Sad & Bad Moments: The Chainsaw Cult Reveal: because nothing says “ancient order” like matching outfits and industrial-grade murder tools. Gunnar Hansen ... you know ... Leatherface Chainsaw duel...cue the guitar solo Duncan trying to keep the review on point. We ponder the philosophical dilemma for the ages:Is Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers a glorious satire of exploitation horror…or just a cinematic excuse to shout “CHAINSAW!” every 7 minutes and feel alive?Either way, we’re booking our next haircut somewhere quieter. Preferably without a sacrificial altar. --- So polish your leather chaps, refuel your murder tools, and remember… here at B-Movie Blitzkrieg, the bizarre meets the brilliant one B-Movie at a time. --- Next Episode Drops Friday, January 16th 2026Our march through the cinematic crypt continues with Episode 15, as Duncan & Baz descend into the shockingly stitched-together madness of Blackenstein (1973)...a blaxploitation-flavoured Frankenstein riff where revenge, reanimation and wildly questionable medical ethics collide.Expect mad science, disco dread, and at least one moment where Baz whispers, “They absolutely should not have done that,” while Duncan cackles with ghoulish delight.Until then… stay greasy, stay gothic, and remember:If someone invites you to join a chainsaw cult, always ask about the dental plan first.TIMECODE:00:00:00 - THEME SONG00:00:45 - INTRO00:05:15 - PLOT00:09:48 - TOP 5 RAD/SAD/BAD MOMENTS00:18:52 - BEST/WORST LINES00:21:52 - PLOTHOLES00:25:51 - SCORE00:27:50 - CLOSE

    Bonus Christmas Episode 2025: The Gingerdead Man – Silent Fright, Deadly Delight & Yuletide Bites

    B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast – Bonus Christmas Episode 2025 The Gingerdead Man (2005) Deck the halls and hide the rolling pins, because this festive instalment of the B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast sees Duncan & The Baz unwrapping the sugary terror of The Gingerdead Man (2005)… the only yuletide classic where a serial killer’s soul is baked into a gingerbread cookie and voiced by a cackling Gary Busey on a Christmas caffeine bender. This isn’t just a holiday horror. It’s a full-throttle sugar rush of schlock, sleaze, and seasonal spite. With sentient baked goods, questionable acting choices, and a body count that would make Mrs Claus reconsider her life choices, The Gingerdead Man is the kind of film that asks, “What if your festive treat hated you… personally?” The answer: everyone dies, probably near a mixing bowl. --- In This Episode: We confront the queries no pastry chef, exorcist, or mall Santa ever dared to ask: Did the film makers actually think this was a good idea? Why does the old baker carry a flick knife to a diner? How big is the health and safety manual for that walk-in oven? How long is a 1hr 15min movie is the opening & closing credits are about 10mins each? Is this a Christmas horror movie at all if there isn't any music, decoration or mention of Christmas at all? --- Top 5 Rad/Sad & Bad Moments: Gary Busey....that is all! That killer biscuit design...dear god help us all. Baz's alternate story around the cuck wrestler...trust me, you need to hear it to believe it. The sheer amount of baked based puns/one liners. We ponder the true philosophical conundrum: Is The Gingerdead Man a joyfully deranged Christmas cult classic… or a cursed festive hallucination brought on by too much eggnog and poor life choices? Either way, we’re cancelling cookies this year and embracing fruit. It’s safer. Probably. --- So light your tinsel, fear your desserts, and remember… here at B-Movie Blitzkrieg, the bizarre meets the brilliant one B-Movie at a time. --- Next Episode Drops Friday, January 2nd 2026 Kicking off the new year with chainsaws and questionable moral decisions, Duncan & Baz return for Episode 14: Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers (1988)… a neon-soaked grindhouse odyssey where cults, call girls, and power tools collide in glorious VHS-induced chaos. Expect sleaze, satire, savage steel, and Baz once again questioning how this was ever legally released on planet Earth.

    Episode 13: Rubber – Telekinetic Tread, Desert Dread & Existential Detours

    B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast – Episode 13 Rubber (2010) Inflate your expectations and check your pressure gauges, because this week on the B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast, Duncan & The Baz skid violently into the absurdist asphalt apocalypse of Rubber (2010), the only film where a sentient tyre, an on-site audience with binoculars, a dead turkey, and a disgruntled sheriff all exist in a universe held together solely by the power of “no reason.” This isn’t just a killer object movie...it’s a meta-narrative wrapped in a surrealist desert picnic and sprinkled with enough nihilism to make Camus put down his cigarette and go, “Alright lads, calm down.” With our rubbery anti-hero rolling from one explosive encounter to the next, Rubber achieves the rare feat of being both completely ridiculous and somehow… philosophically chewy. --- In This Episode: We tackle the burning questions no mechanic, philosopher, or desert ranger ever thought to ask: Is Robert the Tyre the most emotionally developed character in the movie? Why is there an audience watching the movie inside the movie? Are you watching this movie or is this movie watching you? And seriously… what was the turkey for? --- Top 5 Rad/Sad & Bad Moments: The moment our rubbery renegade learns he can make heads explode just by concentrating really, really hard. Inspirational, in a deeply concerning way. A group of film-within-a-film viewers slowly starving in the desert while offering commentary nobody asked for but we all needed. That damn opening. The Tired Tyre. The Reincarnation Twist: Robert’s final form. Yes, it gets weirder. No, we’re not sorry. We ponder the ultimate cinematic puzzle:Is Rubber a brilliant satire about storytelling, spectatorship, and meaninglessness… or just a tyre rolling around killing people while the director laughs at us?The answer: no reason. --- So grab your binoculars, avoid abandoned tyres on lonely roads, and remember… Here at B-Movie Blitzkrieg, the bizarre meets the brilliant one B-Movie at a time. --- Next Episode Drops on Christmas Eve December 24th 2025: Our Bonus Episode is covering The Gingerdead Man (2005)Ho-ho-hold onto your cookies, because next time Duncan & Baz are stuffing your stockings with a festive treat (or threat): The Gingerdead Man (2005).

    Episode 12: The Lair of the White Worm - Rituals, Relics & Raunchy Reptiles

    B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast – Episode 12 The Lair of the White Worm (1988) Sharpen your stakes and mind your ankles, because this week on the B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast, Duncan & The Baz are slithering into the serpentine insanity of The Lair of the White Worm (1988)… the only film where Hugh Grant, a giant snake god, nuns with missing habits, and a bagpipe-blaring pagan vision all live in baffling harmony.This isn’t just a creature feature. It’s a psychedelic folk-horror fever dream wrapped in a tartan blanket and dunked in a vat of vampiric venom. With Amanda Donohoe delivering one of cinema’s most delightfully deranged villain performances, The Lair of the White Worm is the kind of movie that makes you ask, “Is this symbolism… or just a massive worm in a cave?” The answer: yes. --- In This Episode: We confront the queries no academic, folklorist, or herpetologist ever dared to ask: Will Baz will never say "No" to Donohoe? Is Hugh Grant is lucky he became the movie star he is? Errrmmm that hallucination scene... Ken Russell, you ok buddy? How does the cure actually work? --- Top 5 Rad/Sad & Bad Moments: Lady Sylvia’s Fang-Flavored Seduction: The only vampire-snake hybrid who can hiss, hypnotize, and steal scenes simultaneously. That Hallucination Sequence: Crucifixions, nuns, serpents, flames… and absolutely no context. A masterpiece of “Wait… what?” The myth of Hawk Boa is born. Baz's fascination with Dick Bush. The Ending: Answers nothing, explains less, and sets up a sequel that the universe wisely refused to allow. We ponder the true philosophical conundrum:Is The Lair of the White Worm a criminally clever slice of cult cinema… or just a glorified fever dream involving snakes, sex, and sweaters? --- Either way, we’re not going into any caves without a torch, a cross, and at least one Hugh Grant.So grab your bagpipes, avoid hypnotic aristocrats, and remember… Here at B-Movie Blitzkrieg, the bizarre meets the brilliant one B-Movie at a time. --- Next Episode Drops Friday, December 19th 2025 Coming next time, Duncan & Baz roll into the desert for a deep dive on Rubber (2010)… the telekinetic, sentient car tyre with a taste for murder and very questionable road safety compliance.Expect existential monologues, spontaneous head explosions, and Baz contemplating whether he too could achieve greatness if he just believed in himself the way that tyre does.Until then...stay weird, stay wild, and remember… if a giant worm goddess offers you tea, maybe don’t drink.

    Episode 11: Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! – Vixens, Violence & Camel Hoof Vengeance

    B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast – Episode 11 Faster Pussycat!... Kill! Kill! (1965) Strap in and hold onto your leather gloves, because this week on the B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast, Duncan & Baz are burning rubber straight into Russ Meyer’s desert of debauchery with Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, the cult classic that asks the eternal question: What happens when go-go dancers trade tassels for tire irons? This isn’t just a movie...it’s a high-octane cocktail of speed, sex, and savage swagger. Varla and her vengeance-fueled vixens aren’t here to dance; they’re here to dominate. With dialogue sharper than a stiletto heel and a body count that climbs faster than a tachometer in a drag race, this film is exploitation cinema at its most feral. --- In This Episode: We ask the burning questions: Why is Varla trusted by anyone in this movie? Why does Billie spontaneously dance at everything and nothing? Is the script longer than an A4 sheet of paper? And seriously… how many times can one movie say "baby" in one movie...and would a drinking games based around this be fatal? --- Top 5 Rad/Sad & Bad Moments: That opening narration gets my motor running. Varla...just Varla in general. For a movie which oozes feminism, why are all the cars being driven by male stunt doubles? The cameramen's ability to get crotch angle in almost any scenario. The ending… Baz can't remember that ending!! We ultimately ask the hard question: Is Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! a feminist fever dream or just Russ Meyer’s excuse to film cleavage in widescreen? --- Either way, we’re not complaining, because this movie is pure, unfiltered B-Movie adrenaline. So rev your engines, adjust your eyeliner, and remember… here at B-Movie Blitzkrieg, the bizarre meets the brilliant one B-Movie at a time. --- Next Episode Drops Friday, December 5th, 2025 Coming up next, Duncan & Baz slither into Ken Russell’s surreal serpent saga The Lair of the White Worm (1988)...a film that asks, What if Bram Stoker wrote a fever dream after licking a hallucinogenic toad? Expect pagan rituals, giant worms, and Hugh Grant in a sweater so tight it deserves its own IMDb credit. It’s gothic horror with a side of psychedelic madness, and we’re here for every wriggling second. Until then, stay weird, stay wild, and remember… if a go-go dancer challenges you to a drag race, maybe just take the bus.
