Give Me Back My Action&Horror Movies Give Me Back My Podcast Network

In what hopefully becomes a regular event, the Give Me Back boys have teamed up with our mates over at A Cut Above, Spoils of Horror and Cinema Slab to cover a wonderful franchise; this year it's Critters!  Much like last year when we covered Children of the Corn 2, this year we got to watch the best of the bunch in Critters 2! So is Critters the best tiny monster franchise? Is it better than Gremlins? Three words: Giant-Critter-Ball-of-Death. Well, I guess that's five words. Gimme a break. I'm a podcaster not a math magician.

We know... we know.... We should have saved The Last Starfighter for our next "Kid Month" but Charlie pulled rank when he heard that it's been 40ish years since Pete's seen it and Nate can't remember if he had (spoiler, he hadn't). Even though it's really meant for kids, the nostalgia generated hit the cast like an avalanche and all the feels came bubbling to the surface. Have you ever heard a grown man swoon?  Here's your chance.

This week the guys wanted Predator but Charlie said we had Predator at home as he brings RoboWar starring Reb Brown to the show. Explore the not so deep jungle and encounter not an alien with the guys as they smile and cheer their way thru a truly B Action movie. With a ton of bullets, explosions, and some of the best nicknames in the business...this is definitely worth your time! 

Naked Space Vampires. 
Using those three words to describe a movie directed by Tobe Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre) written by Dan O'Bannon (Alien and Return of the Living Dead) and this podcast is fully invested. So what happened? How did a movie of such potential fall short? Well for one, it was made by Canon Films and while we certainly enjoy many of their crazy films, Canon doesn't have  much of a reputation for quality.
Naked Space Vampires.  We wanted so much more.

This one hit home for all of us. The Alien franchise is near and dear to all of our hearts and the world would be at a loss if not for these two films. At least that's what Pete thinks as he doesn't recognize any of the movies beyond Aliens. Pete's weirdness aside, we take a trip down memory lane and embrace the stories from our childhood and the fortunes we lost buying all the damn Alien merch over the years. Friends, this film, this episode is going to be tough to beat.

This week the guys set the bar super freaking high with a film so epic they brought backup to help cover it, 1995's Steel Frontier starring Joe Lara and Brion James!!! Join Charlie, Dustin and Mickey as they ride their motorcycles into the wasteland while covering an absolute forgotten gem of a movie that blends Sci-Fi with a perfect amount of Western flair! .....Death Riders!!!!!
