Grindbin Podcast - Grindhouse And Exploitation Films

Matt (from Movie Melt!), Yobo, Bobby, and Mike discuss a German movie about a man whose dick starts talking to him on his birthday. The guys also delve into exciting topics like how much a box costs and proper library foot etiquette. All this... and more!

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... 

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!

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.

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...)

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. 

Lee, Bobby, new guest Mike Bagford, and original Mike discuss the Franco Nero detective movie where he goes to Italy to solve a case but instead finds his estranged son, kisses him on the lips, and then dates Sybil Danning for awhile. But he don't give a damn, he's the Cobra!

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.
