Welcome to the Grindbin, a podcast where your hosts Mike Wood and Chris Mann dig through the exploitation films and grindhouse cinema of the 1970's and 1980's. Join us on our journey to explore these forgetting film classics of decades past and breathe new life into the movies that time forgot.
In true Grindbin fashion, Camvember 2024 finally comes to a close over half way through December... but with a real banger!
Yobo, Matt, Bobby, and Mike pitch the tent, self-Nell, and drink some crotch warmed high lifes for an ill-fated camping trip. Memorial Valley Massacre is one of the most incohorent, logic defying, and intelligence insulting movies we've ever seen on this show; which makes it a perfect way to end this year's celebration of the man who was barely in the movie.Â
Fern, Artemis, Bobby, and Mike continue their deep dive into Cameron Mitchel films with another David Winter's "classic" Space Mutiny. Fake beards, directors quitting, space nepotism, this movie has it ALL!Â
Wick, Lee, Vaughn, and Mike discuss an extremely unhinged Cameron Mitchell performance in a movie starring Grindbin legend, Robert Ginty. Directed by David Winters (Rage to Kill, Thrashin') Codename Vengeance is undoubtedly some sort of tax dodge scheme that nobody was actually intended to watch... yet here we are nearly 40 years later discussing it for 3 hours on a theme month dedicated to a man who didn't even know he made this movie. Happy Camvember everyone!
Camvember 2024 has arrived and the boys find themselves stranded on an island full of fishmen in some weird sex game. Tanner, Bobby, and Mike are joined by new guest Greg (Absolute Zeros: Camp Launchpad, Junior Braves of the Apocalypse) to talk about a very drunk Cameron Mitchell appearance that really isn't supposed to be in the movie. Â
Bobby, Yobo, and Mike find themselves trapped in an abandoned house for the annual Grindbin Halloween episode! Night of the Demons is your classic "people stuck in a house" movie where we wander around for 90 minutes and hope something fun might happen. Does it? Will Yobo be spread over an open fire?? Did anyone bring the Double D batteries?!
Greg, Chris in Miami, Bobby, and Mike discuss the lesser-known Walter Hill film, lovingly referred to on the show as "Swamp Warriors". When a group of National Guardsmen get stuck in the swamps of Louisiana, they find themselves hunted by locals who really don't like outsiders. Featuring a cast of great charactor actors: Keith Carradine, Powers Booth, Fred Ward, Peter Coyote, and Brion James, this is a movie made for the bin.Â
The Patreon Poll winner for "Silva September" is here... in October!Â
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!
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.
Yobo, Molly, Bobby, and Mike FINALLY discuss the Gary Coleman "classic" about him living in a train station locker and betting on horses. Who was this made for? Why did they destroy an entire rain forest to build a train station Shakey's? And is Gary just actually a vampire? All these questions will be answered... and more!Â
Faustus joins Bobby and Mike to talk about the Dino De Laurentiis "spoof" of James Bond films. CIA agent Kelly is stationed in Rio de Janeiro, covertly monitoring a wealthy industrialist, David Ardonian, who harbors a secret plan to sterilize the global population and repopulate the world himself, with captured women in clear cubes.
Tanner, Fern, Bobby, and Mike find themselves locked up with Grindbin All Star Tom DeSimone (Hell Night, Chatterbox, Angel III) in his "sendup" of women in prison movies. What promises to be a fun time ends up being one of the most angry, mean-spirited films we've seen in a long time. Tom, you doing ok buddy?
