Grindbin Podcast - Grindhouse and Exploitation Films

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.

397 Codename Vengeance (1987) - CAMVEMBER 2024

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!

396 - Screamers (1981) - CAMVEMBER 2024

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.

395 - Night of the Demons (1988)

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?!

394 - Southern Comfort (1981)

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.

393 - The Boss (1973)

The Patreon Poll winner for "Silva September" is here... in October!  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!

391 - On the Right Track (1981)

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!

390 - Kiss the Girls and Make Them Die (1966)

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.

389 - Reform School Girls (1986)

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?

388 - Smokey and the Bandit Part 3 (1983) - Summer Sequel Month 2024

Summer Sequel Month 2024 comes to the a dramatic close with the Patreon Poll winner, Smokey and the Bandit Part 3.

386 - Penitentiary III - Summer Sequel Month 2024

Yobo, Terry, Bobby, and Mike find themselves locked back up in the Penitentiary for one more fight (even though we said we would never fight again and it doesn't really make any sense for us to be locked up for a third time). Can Canon elevate the Penitentiary series to new heights? Can you eat an orange with the skin on? Will Yobo mention the completely outdated Hawk Tuah girl 15 times?! Find out on this episode of the bin!

384 - Vicious Lips (1986)

Steve and Izzy from EILFM (Everything I Learned from Movies) join Bobby and Mike to discuss the Albert Pyun "classic" that he apparently filmed, dumped off to an editor, and never looked at again. An all female rock band gets the gig of a lifetime, they just have to fly across the galaxy to get there, that sounds fun... right? There has to be SOME fun in this movie... right? There has to be a movie in here... right? Find out on this episode of the bin!

382 - 52 Pick-Up (1986)

Bobby, Brady, Vaughn, and Mike discuss one of the attempts for the Cannon Group to go legit with the John Frankenheimer thriller, 52 Pick-Up. Written by Elmore Leonard (Grindbin all-star for Stick), starring Roy Scheider and Ann-Margret, and featuring incredible performances from John Glover and Clarence Williams III, this movie is a real hidden gem in the Cannon catalog.  Even stranger, this might not be the first time Cannon tried to adapt this film...

381 - Alligator (1980)

Bobby, Chef Robby, fourth chair Vaughn, and Mike talk about the animal attack movie that's actually about a man's insecurities facing baldness. Featuring an incredible performance from Henry Silva, Robert Forester getting multiple police partners killed, and a potentially very problematic relationship; Alligator has eveything you could hope for in a Grindbin movie!

380 - Hardcore (1979)

Welcome to the Grindbin father's day special! Join Wick, Chuck, Bobby, and Mike as they discuss the winner of a recent "good" movie Patreon Poll from writer/director Paul Schrader. When George C. Scott's daughter goes missing on a church trip, he hires a private investigator (Peter Boyle) to track her down. What ensues is a dive into the seedy underworld of the west coast adult industry, and George C. Scott in the most ridiculous wig you've ever seen.

379 - The Legend of the Roller Blade Seven (1992)

Chef Robby, Wick, Bobby, and Mike endure the worst movie we've ever watched on the Grindbin. There have been a lot of intellorable movies on this show but nothing, NOTHING, compares to The Legend of the Roller Blade Seven. From the director of Hell Comes to Frogtown and Baby Ghost, comes the worst excuse for a "movie" ever created. Thanks to our Patreon member who requested it! (we do really appreciate your support...)

378 - Stick (1985)

Bobby, Yobo, new guest Joe, and Mike talk about what many on letterboxd deems the "worst Burt Reynolds movie". Based on an Elmore Leonard novel (and screenplay) Burt finds himself fresh out of prison and getting caught up in the local Miami crime scene. Strap in for lot of horrible jokes, the return of Jai alai to the bin, the weakest of insects, and Burt getting splinters in his mouth from the most wooden performance ever on the Grindbin.
