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.
Hollywood Zap is the mistake you make when discussing a random movie on the Grindbin and deciding to put it on the schedule. Chuck, Matt, Bobby, and Mike live with the regretful choice of having to watch this movie and talk about for three hours. Enjoy!
New guests Mike and Glich join Bobby and Mike as Camvember 2025 comes to a close with a... sequel?
Camvember 2025 continues as Yobo and Matt join Bobby and Mike to discuss a movie where every scene ends in a fight... EVERY. SINGLE. SCENE.
Tanner, Daniel, Bobby, and Mike discuss the second entry in this year's Camvember, the Fred Williamson directed, The Messenger from 1986. Does this have all the magic of Fred's earlier career? Does Cameron film in more than one location? Did Fred just pocket most of the money and get a free vacation out of this whole thing?! All this... and more!
Camvember starts out with... Frank Stallone. The stakes could not be lower in this "erotic" thriller where Cameron is just trying to go to bed, Frank literally won't go home, and someone might have blown themselves up or something. Wick, Yobo, Other Tim, and Mike try and figure out if anything makes sense on the first episode of 2025's Camvember.
Fern, Artemis, Chef Robby, Bobby, and Mike discuss one of the laziest concepts for a horror movie yet... what if the SAND was the killer?! Yes, that's right, killer sand... or maybe something is lurking in the beach basement... find out on this episode of the The Grindbin!
Brady, Bobby, JM, and Mike discuss the controversial William Friedkin film, Cruising (1980). Has time allowed this movie to be viewed differently? Is it still considered controversial? What are the popcorn bucket ideas?!

Summer Sequel Month 2025 comes to a close with Chef Robby, Wick, Bobby, and Mike discussing the sequel to a beloved Grindbin movie. Can Ginty return for a little more bin magic?
