20: Halloween (2018) Oct 02, 2023

Show notes

This week, Bring Me The Axe! kicks off their month-long examination of the Halloween legacy as Bryan drags Dave kicking and screaming through David Gordon Green's 2018 series revision. It's a deeply flawed movie that's way better than you expect a Halloween sequel or remake to be and it reduces the series to its roots while whiffing on move than a few points. Get all the details within!

19: Don't Panic (Bonus) Sep 25, 2023

Show notes

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, Bryan and Dave take a trip to Mexico City to celebrate their favorite Ruben Galindo Jr. movie, Don't Panic. It's a blatant a cash-in on the success of Evil Dead and A Nightmare on Elm Street that has so many bizarre qualities to it that you can't help but love it. It's about the love of a grown-ass man and his dinosaur pajamas. It's about the tension between best friends, who might also be enemies? It's about the love shared between two people who no chemistry whatsoever.

18: The Peanut Butter Solution Sep 22, 2023

Show notes

This week Bryan and Dave close out their What The Fuck?? series with a children's movie that terrorized an entire generation in Canada, The Peanut Butter Solution. It's a tale of loss and woe when a child loses his hair due to a terrible fright and deals with it poorly. There's also some real nightmare material in there about being kidnapped by a teacher and forced to work in his child slave labor prison. Also, you'll be amazed at how many Simpsons references these guys can stuff into a single podcast.

17: Burnt Offerings w/guest Sam Pancake (Bonus) Sep 11, 2023

Show notes

This week Bryan and Dave are joined by actor, comedian, and made-for-tv movie expert, Sam Pancake to talk about Dan Curtis (of Dark Shadows fame) and his 1976 gothic melodrama, Burnt Offerings. We cover the movie, of course, hear a nice tale of how pleasant and sweet Karen Black was, much to our delight, and hear a second-hand tale about Oliver Reed's tattooed penis.

16: The Baby Sep 04, 2023

Show notes

At long last, Bryan and Dave kick off their What The Fuck??? series with Ted Posts deeply troubling, alienating, and off-putting thriller, The Baby, from 1973. Dave thinks it doesn't make any sense. Bryan disagrees strongly, declaring it one of his all-time favorite movies. The Baby is unpredictable at every turn and shocks all the way to the end.

15: Silver Bullet w/guest Julia Marchese Aug 21, 2023

Show notes

Bryan and Dave are joined this week to close out their Stephen King Rules! series by Stephen King superfan, Julia Marchese, to talk about the picture that ended the Dino De Laurentis/Stephen King dynasty in the 1980's, Silver Bullet. It stars Corey Haim before he was the teen idol of the 1980's as well as Everett McGill and Gary Busey in a picture where it's kids vs. a werewolf.

14: Maximum Overdrive Aug 07, 2023

Show notes

This week kicks off our Stephen King Rules! series as Bring Me The Axe! takes on Stephen King's first and last credit as director, the undisputed document of cocaine confidence, Maximum Overdrive from 1986. It's an ill-advised adaptation of his own short story, Trucks, that features a lot explosions, big trucks, and Yeardley Smith screaming.

Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwYcnnbiRB4

FYI, the music in the trailer is from Halloween 3, not Christine.

13: Sleepaway Camp Jul 24, 2023

Show notes

This week, Bring Me The Axe! heads to Camp Arawak to explore one of slasher history's most unhinged entries, Sleepaway Camp. What could have been forgotten by history as just another Friday the 13th ripoff is elevated to a truly special place by a parade of dubious directorial decisions, a handful of positively insane performances, and a real wild twist ending that we spoil right from the get-go.

12: Madman Jul 10, 2023

Show notes

This week Bring Me The Axe takes a look at 1981's Madman, a truly weird entry into the early 80's slasher canon. A cast of pleasant, reasonable, and thoughtful counselors at Thanksgiving Gifted Camp face off against a slasher that may be a monster or a zombie or who knows? It's really never clear what Madman Marz is supposed to be. But we get Dawn of the Dead's Gaylen Ross, acting under a pseudonym, as one of horror's worst final girls and Madman Marz has his own theme song.

11: Jaws (Bonus) Jul 04, 2023

Show notes

It's a holiday bonus episode for July 4th! Celebrating Steven Spielberg's landmark accomplishment and one of the all-time greatest movies, Jaws! It's a stealth examination of 70's masculinity as the old man plays tug of war against the new man while a monstrous great white shark terrorizes an island vacation destination.
