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.
Steve and Izzy, Vaughn, Bobby, and Mike discuss a real deep dive on Tubi about a reporter who goes in search of a long lost "comedian" in the African Jungle. A truly chaotic episode of the bin where someone might have not seen the movie, a host might be broken, and someone legit gave it a 5 star review. All this... and more!
The legendary Walking Tall finally comes to the Grindbin and just in time considering the revelations made about the man, the myth, the alleged murderer, Bufford Pussar. Wick, Dash, Bobby, and Mike discuss what was once just a vanity project with an incredible performance from Joe Don Baker that has now become an interesting time capsule of a deeply troubled man.
Vaughn, Mann, Bobby, and Mike discuss a 1970s film about a scientist living in a bigoted neighborhood who decides to create a superman, or just likes to kill a bunch of rabbits.
Tanner, Lee, Bobby, and Mike discuss the David Carradine "classic" Deathsport. We are sure that everything went really smooth on the set of this movie and nobody was assaulted or physically ripped off a motorcycle before dying in a stunt.
As a disclaimer, we recorded this prior to the passing of actor, writer, and Grindbin Hall of Famer, George Eastman. Matt, Mann, Bobby and Mike discuss the Joe D'Amato directed and George Eastman written slasher film about a killer with supernatural abilities... but more importantly this all takes place during the most important football game of the year guys.
Movie Melt Matt, Yobo, Bobby, and Mike discuss an incredible auteur effort from twin brothers. The McNamara twins decided when the Canadian government went after their martial arts careers, they could do only one thing, become international action movie stars... and that's exactly what they did.
Julie, Fern, Bobby, and Mike discuss the North Korean (you read that right) attempt at a Kaiju film. The movie is only half the story as we break down the only time in Grindbin history that a movie was made by someone literally taken hostage.
Greg, Peter, Bobby, and Mike discuss a post-apocalyptic film that really tries out-lazy the rest of them. We got sand, some water, road warriors, cars, little people; it's everything you need for a great Grindbin episode.
Steve and Izzy, Other Tim, Bobby, and Mike discuss the Shaw Brother's ill fated attempt to jumpstart a franchise superhero series to compete with Ultraman.
Our semi-annual March Madness episode has arrived with the Crown International CLASSIC, Coach from 1978. Chef Robby, Luke, Bobby, and Mike discuss what is sure to be a laugh-filled, jam packed, Crown picture full of fun basketball hijinx... right?
Bobby, Mary, Julie, and Mike discuss Ted V. Mikels film about a group of female CIA agents that try and save the world from a an evil genius who wants to subject the world to a curable virus. And the female agents keep dying. It's a great movie, no notes.
Wick, Chris in Miami, Bobby, and Mike discuss the legendary Friedken film, to Live and Die in L.A. which, if you haven't already, don't press play until you watch it.
Mann, Dash, Bobby, and Mike break down the troubled horror film Devil Times Five (also called People Toys). A fired director, killer kids, Leif Garret returns... this is a very special episode of the Grindbin.
Yobo, Dash, Bobby, and Mike discuss the Leif Garrett horror movie about a brother and sister serial killer duo who lure men to their doom using... a party line.
Lee, Vaughn, Bobby, and Mike discuss the Robert Duvall, Joe Don Baker crime noir from 1973. Featuring a mind blowing discussion about postal uniforms! This episode has it all.
Mann, Wick, Bobby, and Mike discuss the return of Mark Gregory to the Grindbin! Thunder (1983) is your standard Rambo rip off with a heavy dose of Italian filmmaking flare.
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!
