Bring Me The Axe! Horror Podcast

Bring Me the Axe is a comedy podcast celebrating the best (and worst) horror from a time when the video store ruled the night. Every other week, brothers Bryan and Dave White (and the occasional guest) heed the call of nostalgia and evaluate the classic 70s and 80s horror movies they loved in their childhood to determine whether the movies are still relevant today or should be allowed to fade into obscurity.

    61: Silent Night Deadly Night Part 2

    This week Dave and Bryan marvel at what is ostensibly the most egregious horror movie sequel of all time, a movie so lazy, so craven that it's hard to believe that it exists at all. When a greedy producer got his hands on the sequel rights to the original Silent Night Deadly Night he intended to have an entire movie made by simply editing the original into something new but director Lee Harry, a professional editor just couldn't make it happen. Because that's an insane and very stupid proposition. The compromise was to shoot insert scenes as a wraparound story. Silent Night Deadly Night Part 2 still manages to compose half of its running time, including the credits, from the original movie but it's not without its charms. After all, this is the movie that gave us garbage day!

    99CR 23: The Christmas Martian

    Bryan and Dave go north for a look at The Christmas Martian, an utterly deranged Quebecois children's movie about unsupervised children in a remote Quebec town and the adult man from Mars who in any other context would be understood to be grooming this brother and sister. It's a film that was intended to be whimsical and zany but being the product of Tales For All producer, Rock Demers, it all just comes off as creepy and unsettling. Though, not quite as upsetting as The Peanut Butter Solution, a film we covered in 2023, it's still off-putting in a way that begs the question: who was this movie for? Produced by prolific Canadian producer, a man on a mission to make the lives of children genuinely better, Rock Demers, directed by one of the National Film Board's most talented cinematographer, Bernard Gosselin, and written by an author so-treasured by his native Canada that one of his works of fiction is quoted on their money, Roch Carrier, The Christmas Martian is remarkably artless and weird and we're going to tell you all about it.

    60: Daughters of Darkness

    Bryan and Dave go Belgian this week for a look at the extremely artsy vampire sleeper, Daughters of Darkness. Where Jess Franco and Jean Rollin both released signature lesbian vampire movies in 1971, Harry Kumel snuck in and delivered his own interpretation of sleazy euro-trash horror through the lens of The French New Wave. The film stars the absolutely radiant Delphine Seyrig and her many outrageous costumes. We break down the film's attempt to make a statement about the gender dynamics between men and women in a patriarchy and Dave goes to great lengths to illustrate the ways in which gay women are treated differently than gay men. In the process you get a crash course in radical feminism and, more specifically, radical lesbianism and the two of us do a lot of lousy cartoonish French accents.

    NOV 18

    99CR 22: The Beaver Trilogy

    Bryan and Dave take a look at one of the deepest of cult movie deep cuts, The Beaver Trilogy by Trent Harris, a story about fame, guilt, and Olivia Newton John. It’s the story of a chance encounter with a strange young man one day in Beaver, Utah in 1979 that came to determine the entire trajectory of its director’s life. For reasons that we’ll dig into in the episode the movie is a document of the natural human inclination to seek fame, the natural human inclination to consider how our actions impact the lives of others, and maybe how we become our own worst enemies in the absence of answers. Harris, obsessed with the subject of his own work but unable to speak to him, works out his issues and tries to fill in the blanks as he remakes his own documentary twice with the help of Sean Penn and then again with Crispin Glover. It all culminates in a one-of-a-kind hybrid of documentary and scripted drama that you’re most likely going to become obsessed with.

    SEASON 1, EPISODE 3 TRAILER

    (Sample) Do You Think I'm Spooky? S1E3: Squeeze

    To unlock the full episode go to Patreon and sign up at the $5 level to unlock all of our X-Files episodes as well as Radio Free Haddonfield, our bi-weekly DJ and music show. This week we look at the first proper X-Files monster of the week episode which pits Mulder and Scully against Eugene Tooms, a man who can squeeze his body through seemingly any opening in order to commit the cannibal murders which sustain his impossible physiology. It's an amazing home run for such an early entry in a long television series. As usual we also walk you through a brief history lesson of the week this episode aired and man... it's a doozy.

    59: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

    Take a trip back in time with Bryan and Dave this week as they go black and white with this unassailable classic of the golden age of horror. It's Paramount's remarkably gritty pre-code horror movie, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, a movie meant to capitalize on and compete with the sudden popularity of Universal's 1931's horror movies, Dracula and Frankenstein. Paramount, however, takes things a bit further with a movie movie more explicitly sexy and violent than you're probably expecting from the 1930's. It's a dynamic, kinetic movie shot on elaborate sets and featuring powerful performances from both Fredrich March and Miriam Hopkins and it makes use of a brilliant in-camera trick to transform Jekyll into Hyde before your very eyes. Learn all about it and more in this episode.

    NOV 4

    99CR 21: Death Warrant

    99 Cent Rental returns from its Halloween hiatus with a Van Damme good time as we drill down to the core of the spirit of this podcast with a look at a movie so patently ridiculous and offensive that we can't fully understand how it's simultaneously so entertaining and appealing. Death Warrant represents some firsts and lasts. It's ostensibly the first movie to truly put Jean-Claude Van Damme over as a viable box office draw and positions him to be the prime action movie star of the 90's. It also represents the final death rattle of Cannon Films after a decade of bad business practice finally caught up with them. Featuring a performance from Robert Guillaume that this movie clearly does not deserve, it's also full of side characters that are every bit as magnetic as JCVD.
