Part-time guest Tim Yobo, Matt, new guest Greg, and Mike discuss a little known direct-to-video action flick starring Jason Miller (The Exorcist) and featuring the on-screen debut of Grindbin all star Tim Robbins (Franternity Vacation). Like many of the random island action movies we've covered in the past, this is a hidden gem and absolutely bonkers.
The boys are back and stuck on a boat in the open sea. After debating for 30 minutes about Milk consumption, Yobo, Bobby, Mike, and new guest John discuss the John Huston CLASSIC the Bermuda Triangle. If you love floating dolls who eat raw meat and extended scenes of debating whether or not a dotor has the energy to cut someone's leg off, this is the movie for you!
Yobo, Fern, Bobby, and Mike discuss the winner of a recent Patreon poll. A town is flipped upsidedown when a space ship crash lands near Baltimore. It's low budget filmmaking at it's finest.
Bobby, Fern, Julie, and Mike discuss the Tony Curtis horror film about his lady friend growing a strange tumor that births a 400 year old demonic Native American spirit. Tony plays a psychic yet somehow didn't see this one coming.
Tanner, Luke, Bobby, and Mike celebrate March Madness by discussing the Gabe Kaplan EPIC about college basketball. You ever wanted to watch extended on ball drills in your movie? Did you ever want to see the team win by 40 and never trail? Then this is the sports movie for you!
Vaughn, Lee, Bobby, and Mike discuss a family film about a kidnapped boy who has his tongue cut out and is raised to be a criminal by his adopted parents David Carradine and Paul L. Smith. It's as wild as it sounds and is a movie (and an episode) worth checking out.
Bobby, Fern, and Mike discuss a request from a listener and... we would like to formally apologize Germany. Not only did we not enjoy this movie, we've found a new Tentacles. For whatever reason, if you love this movie, this might be one you want to skip.
Bobby, Wick, Chef Robby, and Mike are jacked like hell to see Grindbin all stars James Glickenhaus (Shakedown, McBain) and Robert Ginty (White Fire) return to the bin but all they can think about is how Christopher George (Pieces, Enter the Ninja) cooks a hot dog... Seriously, we are still thinking about it... everyday.
Chris in Miami, Jeff, Bobby, and Mike get ready for the big Super Match this Sunday by discussing the lost "football" movie starring Ernest Borgnine, Oliver Tobias, Henry Silva, and Charles Napier. The backstory for this movie is legendary but a guest's personal connection to this film uncovered during the episode is mind blowing.
Chuck, Tim, Bobby, and Mike discuss the unforgettable Greydon Clarke classic featuring George Kennedy pissed off on a boat with a killer cat. This movie has everything you could ever want: complicated crime plans, maritime law, and paperwork!!!!
Bobby, Chef Robby, Jersey James, and Mike break down the proto-buddy cop movie starring James Caan and Alan Arkin as two San Francisco cops who spend most of the time beating the hell out of people; especially if they didn't commit any crimes. try
Yobo, Matt, Terry, and Mike discuss one of the greatest Grindbin movies yet! Death Machines has EVERYTHING you could ever want from a bin movie: overly complicated criminal plans, milk toast characters who you don't want to root for, excessive paperwork as a plot device, and more!
Wick, Yobo, Chris in Miami, and Mike celebrate the holiday season with the classic Santa slasher, Silent Night, Deadly Night. When little Billy's grandpa tries to warn him about the evils of Santa, the kid doesn't listen and his whole life is destroyed. It's a movie, and episode, full of very valuable life lessons just like catatonic Grandpa used to tell you.
Pia Zadora finally returns to the bin! Yobo, Bobby, new guest Jeff, and Mike discuss this Pia Zadora, Telly Savalas crime caper in Las Vegas. Despite being financed by Pia's then husband, filmed at his hotel (The Riveria), and simply a vehicle for more Pia screen time, this is a strangely enjoyable movie! So grab a Pia-tina and enjoy extended scenes of Telly gambling and grabbing butts. This episode featured some technical difficulties in our first hour. If you're interested in seeing and hearing the almost four hour cut (including live watches of Telly Savalas music videos) check out our Patreon.
Yobo, Steve, Matt, and Mike discuss the ill-fated Olivia Newtown John and ELO musical. Featuring hot and sandy popcorn at the beach, maybe our most elaborate and nonsensical movie scam yet, guys rubbing themselves Xanadu in the Getty, and the hardest takes Yobo has ever had on interior design and rollerskating club logistics. With more than double the runtime of the movie, this is an epic episode of the bin that shouldn't be missed.
Steve and Izzy from EILFM join Bobby, Mary, and Mike as Camvember 2023 comes to a close with the adult film Cameron didn't know he starred in... allegedly. Dixie Ray, eventually cut into an R rated film called "It's Murder Baby" is a noir thriller that features some of the most uncomfortable, exposition laden sex scenes, and a very, very drunk Cameron. It's the perfect, akward way to end 2023's Camvember.
Camvember 2023 continues with J.M. Brandt returning to talk the original Slaughter with Bobby and Mike. Surely there are lots of outstanding questions we had from the second movie that are answered here, right? There has to be incredibly backstories for characters we met in the second film, right? There is at least a super computer at this Mexico (South America) base, right?! Find out the answers to these questions (probably not)... and more!
Yobo, Daniel, Matt, and Mike talk about the reunion of Cameron Mitchell and Leo Fong! It's a Camvember miracle, right? right?! Featuring Cameron drooling over a teppanyaki, extended talk about Necco wafers, and Daniel's new rap persona.
Bobby, Chef Robby, Terry, and Mike kick off Camvember with the unforgettable, Fred Olen Ray produced, direct-to-video slasher, Jack-O. Cameron's performance is brief but memorable in this one as he does something NO Grindbin all-star has ever done before! Also featuring a long dead John Carradine, the most uncomfortable nude scene of Linnea Quigley's career, and an bunch of pumpkins Fed kept in his garage for six months before filming started.
Bobby, Faustus, Vaughn, and Mike talk about the Lucio Fulci cigarette smuggling movie Contaband. Two brothers have made a nice life for themselves smuggling in Marlboros to Naples until a mysterious drug smuggler appears and the bodies start piling up. Will Luca stop the flow of heroin into Italy, or more importantly, will he ever find out who's responsible for tire mountain?!

This is right up there with all the movies I rewatch when I want a pick me up. The joke at 2:48:01 made me spit my drink everywhere.
You guys totally missed... The girls make music... 'Music from the Heart'
Jerry Reed can make some good music!
Blackie is from W.A.S.P. not Ratt!
I was having a bad day until I heard this episode, classic material!!!!👍🏾
Ghoulies III. Right off the top Mike sounds like nothing has ever annoyed him as much as the fact that this movie even exists. By the end, defeated indifference.
Never heard of Moving Target. Linda had sworn off nudity by this point, and her next films with nudity (like Bedroom Eyes 2) were body doubles. Oddly, I completely lost interest in her career at that exact moment. Also, Mr. Crown's next call should come from a California state correctional facility.
The Unknown Comic was a featured performer on the Gong Show and not subject to the gonging rules. His act was very dirty and he toured with Murray Langston as his opener. He revealed his true identity on a live broadcast on NBC's Real People TV show in the early 1980s to huge ratings.
I'm scared to listen to this episode. I saw this movie only once, in 1990 or 1991, and I remember it being unpleasant and horrible. I dared to hope for boobs, but all I got was a homeless romcom that nobody wanted.
