B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast – Episode 10
The Car (1977)
Rev your engines and check your mirrors, because this week on the B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast, Duncan & The Baz are being tailgated by terror as they take on The Car (1977)...the satanic sedan that makes Christine look like a cuddly Kia.
This isn’t just a killer car movie. It’s a dusty, desert-set demolition derby of devilish design, where the real villain isn’t under the hood... it is the hood. With a horn that honks like doom and a grill that grins like Beelzebub, The Car is a chrome-plated enigma of evil that terrorizes a small town with all the subtlety of a monster truck rally in a monastery.

In This Episode:
We ask the burning questions:
---
Top 5 Rad/Sad & Bad Moments:
We ultimatley ask the hard questions...like...Is The Car a misunderstood masterpiece of minimalist horror, or just a glorified Goodyear commercial with a pentagram?
---
Either way, we’re not getting in without a priest and a fire extinguisher.
So buckle up, check your rearview mirror, and remember... Here at B-Movie Blitzkrieg… the bizarre meets the brilliant one B-Movie at a time.

Next Episode Drops Friday, November 21st 2025
Coming next time, Duncan & Baz dive headfirst into Russ Meyer’s cult classic Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!...a film that asks, “What if go-go dancers were also go-go murderers?”
Expect leather, lashes, and lethal ladies as we explore the wild world of Varla and her vengeance-fueled vixens. It’s exploitation cinema at its most feral, and Baz can hardly keep it in his pants at the thought of strong women with fast cars and faster fists.
Until then, stay weird, stay wild, and remember… if your car starts growling at pedestrians, maybe take the bus.

B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast – Bonus Halloween Episode 2025
Hack-O-Lantern (1988)
Sharpen your pitchforks, dust off your pentagram jewelry, and carve yourself a sinister smile...it’s Halloween at the B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast, and Duncan & The Baz are summoning up pure Satanic schlock with Hack-O-Lantern (1988).This special bonus spooktacular sees our brave hosts wade knee-deep into a cauldron of cheap satanic rituals, pumpkin masks, heavy metal dream sequences, and more Grandpa-related trauma than any human should endure. Because nothing says “Happy Halloween” like a devil-worshipping family reunion, an electric guitar solo in a cemetery, and a movie that clearly spent its budget on fog machines and eyeliner.Directed by Jag Mundhra (yes, the man who looked at the phrase “Satanic cult slasher” and said, “Needs more nudity”), Hack-O-Lantern follows Tommy, a young man groomed by his spooky granddad (Hy Pyke, in a performance that’s one part Vincent Price and two parts sugar crash) to embrace his demonic destiny. What follows is a delirious mix of 80s sleaze, clunky horror tropes, and metal music videos that seem to have escaped from another dimension.
---
In This Episode:* The Baz attempts to decipher the film’s “plot” without invoking dark spirits.* Duncan’s new theory: Hy Pyke was the only person who understood the script.* You got Satan, Murder and Pumpkins...Do we really need incest?* When is a music video actually just a dream sequence?* The eternal question...does Hack-O-Lantern secretly rule, or is it just devilishly dumb?
---
Top 5 Rad/Sad & Bad Moments:* Hy Pyke’s unhinged grandpa...a one-man cult of chaos.* The “rock video” sequence: spandex, fire, and zero narrative logic.* Why wasn't this movie just a slasher?* What was the actual plan of the Satanists in this movie?* The final twist…which feels like it was written on a napkin five minutes before shooting.
---Duncan & The Baz dig through the cobwebs, cult chants, and questionable editing to uncover whether Hack-O-Lantern is an underrated Halloween gem or just a pumpkin full of cinematic rot.So light those black candles, crank up your cassette of “Satan’s Theme,” and join us in giving this devilish disaster the full Blitzkrieg treatment. Because on Halloween night, even bad movies deserve a little resurrection.Until next time keep your pumpkins carved, your pentagrams polished, and your VHS heads clean. Here at B-Movie Blitzkrieg… the bizarre meets the brilliant one B-Movie at a time.

B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast – Episode 9
Brain Damage (1988)
Strap in and prepare to get gooey for this week on the B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast, Duncan & The Baz take a deep dive into Brain Damage (1988), Frank Henenlotter’s gloriously slimy descent into addiction, alienation, and sentient parasites with a taste for human brains.
Meet Brian, a young man whose life takes a turn for the weird when he befriends Aylmer...a charming, phallic, and deeply unsettling brain-eating parasite who injects his host with euphoric blue juice and demands a steady diet of grey matter in return. It’s body horror meets psychedelic freakout, with a side of existential dread and a dash of neon goo.
---
In This Episode:
We ask the big questions:
---
Top 5 Rad/Sad & Bad Moments:
We dig into the film’s themes of dependency, identity, and the seductive power of losing control...all wrapped in a gooey, neon-soaked package that’s equal parts horror and hilarity. Is Brain Damage a hidden gem of 80s body horror, or just a cautionary tale about trusting anything that talks like Vincent Price and lives in your bathtub?
---
Either way, it’s a trip...and we’re not sure we’re coming back down.
So grab your blue juice, keep your brains close, and remember...Here at B-Movie Blitzkrieg… the bizarre meets the brilliant one B-Movie at a time.

Get ready for pumpkin cults, satanic solos, and the most confusing family reunion this side of the underworld. For our Halloween bonus episode, we’re slicing into Hack-O-Lantern (1988)...a film that asks, “What if your grandpa was the leader of a death cult and also really into glam metal?”
Expect goat masks, graveyard guitar solos, and more fog machine than a Dio concert. It’s Halloween horror with a heavy metal heart...and we’re bringing the sacrificial snacks.
Until then, stay spooky, stay strange, and remember… sometimes the scariest thing is your family’s taste in robes.

B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast – Episode 8
The Beastmaster (1982)
Oil up your pecs and call your ferrets — the B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast is diving loincloth-first into the sun-baked world of The Beastmaster (1982). This week, Duncan & The Baz saddle up alongside Marc Singer as Dar, the animal-whispering warrior destined to battle evil priests, rescue damsels, and show off more torso than an entire season of Baywatch.
Directed by Don Coscarelli (yes, the guy behind Phantasm), this sword-and-sorcery epic delivers a potent brew of fantasy clichés, weird animal hijinks, and John Amos turning up just in time to add some much-needed gravitas. Tanya Roberts smoulders, Rip Torn chews the scenery as the villainous priest Maax, and somewhere in the middle of it all are two kleptomaniac ferrets stealing both scenes and trousers.
---
In This Episode:
* Dar’s animal telepathy: useful superpower or just a medieval Dr. Dolittle?
* The Baz’s attempt at a Rip Torn impression (warning: may contain shouting).
* The eternal question — is this movie peak sword-and-sandals or just oiled-up camp?
* Why the ferrets deserve their own spin-off.
---
Top 5 Rad/Sad & Bad Moments:
* Marc Singer’s heroic mullet — defying heat, gravity, and dignity.
* Rip Torn’s nose prosthetics… villainy by way of papier-mâché.
* The eagle’s endless reaction shots (majestic and confused).
* The human-sacrifice opening that feels like someone lost the script pages.
* The ferrets’ glorious pants-thieving heroics.
We dig into whether The Beastmaster is a forgotten gem of the sword-and-sorcery boom, or just an excuse to watch shirtless men fight rubber monsters in the desert.
---
So grab your broadsword, pack a ferret or two, and don’t forget your battle-ready loincloth — evil priests aren’t going to overthrow themselves.
Until next time, stay bold, stay bizarre, and always keep your eagle on speed dial. Here at B-Movie Blitzkrieg… the bizarre meets the brilliant one B-Movie at a time.

So remember… once Aylmer’s got his teeth in you, it’s a hell of a high.

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984)
Polish your oscillation overthrusters and tune that electric guitar… The B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast is strapping in for a trip across the 8th Dimension. This week, Duncan & The Baz dive into The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984), a heady cocktail of sci-fi action, rock ’n’ roll swagger, and the kind of plot that could only be explained with diagrams… if anyone had bothered to make them.
In this universe-hopping caper, Peter Weller’s Buckaroo Banzai isn’t just a neurosurgeon…he’s also a rock star, physicist, test pilot, and part-time dimension traveler. Flanked by his oddly dressed Hong Kong Cavaliers (featuring a cowboy-clad Jeff Goldblum), Buckaroo takes on a gang of Red Lectroids from Planet 10 led by a magnificently unhinged John Lithgow as Dr. Emilio Lizardo — a man whose every line delivery is a masterclass in unfiltered lunacy.
---
In This Episode:
---
Top 5 Rad/Sad & Bad Moments:
We dig into whether Buckaroo Banzai is a hidden cult masterpiece that rewards repeat viewings, or simply the world’s most expensive inside joke. Either way, it’s a joyride through a universe where logic takes a back seat to sheer, unapologetic style…and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
---
So rev your jet car, keep your overthruster handy, and remember… evil aliens could be living in New Jersey, and they’re probably cranky about it.

Episode 6: Pollution, Politics & a Predator with Paws
B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast – Episode 6
Prophecy (1979)
Sharpen your hatchets and zip up those sleeping bags…The B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast is heading deep into the Maine wilderness, where the fish are deformed, the bears are massive, and the EPA is… surprisingly optimistic. This week, Duncan & The Baz brave Prophecy (1979), a paranoid slab of eco-horror that answers the age-old question: what happens when industrial pollution, Native American land disputes, and mutant wildlife collide? Spoiler: it’s messy.
Somewhere between a grim environmental lecture and a late-night creature feature, Prophecy pitches itself as a serious cautionary tale…then delivers one of cinema’s most unforgettable monster reveals (and we mean unforgettable in the “burned into your brain forever” way). With Talia Shire swapping the Rocky steps for bear country, Armand Assante playing “Native American” by way of the bronzer aisle, and Robert Foxworth as a doctor so smug he makes his own moustache roll its eyes, this is 102 minutes of fur, teeth, and tonal whiplash.
---
In This Episode:
---
Top 5 Rad/Sad & Bad Moments:
We dig into whether Prophecy is a grim nature-gone-wild thriller undercut by its own monster effects, or a goofy man-in-a-suit romp accidentally elevated by its ecological guilt trip. Either way, it’s a potent cocktail of pulp and pollution that’ll have you thinking twice about drinking from that mountain stream.
---
So lace up your hiking boots, keep your campfire small, and remember… the forest is watching… and sometimes it’s in a very bad mood.
Until next time, stay alert, stay weird, and keep your marshmallows away from mutant wildlife. Here at B-Movie Blitzkrieg… the bizarre meets the brilliant one B-Movie at a time.

2019: After the Fall of New York (1983)
Grab your respirators and aim your crossbows — the B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast is kicking open the irradiated gates of Italian post-apocalypse cinema. This week, Duncan & The Baz trek into 2019: After the Fall of New York (1983), a delirious, budget-conscious mashup of Mad Max, Escape from New York, and every dusty, leather-clad fever dream the early ‘80s could muster.
In the smouldering ruins of what used to be America, the world’s last fertile woman is out there somewhere, and only one man can save her… provided he can fight his way through mutant mole-people, flamethrower-wielding warlords, and a gang of inexplicably French ape-men. With Michael Sopkiw as the stoic, eye-patched hero Parsifal, and an ensemble of grizzled mercenaries who look like they’ve just wandered off the set of a Conan knock-off, this is a quest movie for anyone who thinks subtlety is overrated.
---
In This Episode:
---
Top 5 Rad/Sad & Bad Moments:
We dig into whether 2019: After the Fall of New York is a visionary sci-fi epic disguised as a low-budget cash-in, or a low-budget cash-in disguised as a visionary sci-fi epic. Either way, it delivers the essentials: grime, grit, and glorious nonsense by the barrel-load.

B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast - Episode 4
Death Race 2000 (1975)
Start your engines and hide your pedestrians, because the B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast is back, revving harder than a muscle car on a death wish. Your intrepid hosts, Duncan & The Baz, are steering straight into the high-octane chaos of Death Race 2000 (1975) the cult-classic collision of dystopian satire, grindhouse grit, and pure vehicular insanity.
This episode, we’re shifting into top gear to explore Roger Corman’s gleefully twisted vision of the future: a transcontinental road race where drivers rack up points by turning pedestrians into speed bumps, and the government swears it’s all in the name of national morale. With a leather-clad David Carradine behind the wheel and a pre-Rocky Sylvester Stallone spewing insults like machine-gun fire, this is one road trip to fascist America you won’t soon forget.
---
In This Episode:
A lap-by-lap breakdown of Death Race 2000’s delirious dystopia, featuring:
* Frankenstein: the masked man, the myth, the merchandise machine.
* Machine Gun Joe Viterbo: Stallone at his shoutiest.
* Cars so impractical they’d fail an MOT on sight.
---
Top 5 Rad/Sad & Bad Moments, including:
* The greatest use of a hospital ward as a speed trap in cinema history.
* Road rage as state policy.
* Flamboyant TV Hosts
* What is the deal with the fight choreography
* A sex scene with a radish?? Or was that a typo in The Baz's notes?
We also debate whether the film is a brilliant political satire wrapped in B-movie cheese, or simply an excuse for Roger Corman to film people in spandex crashing cars into papier-maché buildings. Spoiler: it’s both.
Plus, we tip or drivers helmets to the pop-culture impact that had a generation of parents cracking pedestrian knock-down points confusing their children for years to come. And in true B-Movie Blitzkrieg tradition, we hand down the official rating: does Death Race 2000 cross the finish line in a blaze of grindhouse glory, or spin out in a puddle of its own absurdity?
---
Whether you come for the rubber-burning action, the gleefully tasteless kills, or the bizarrely optimistic vision of authoritarian rule, this episode’s got enough carnage and camp to fill an entire freeway. Remember: in the future, everyone’s a speed bump if you try hard enough.
Until next time, keep your engines hot, your seatbelts loose, and your morality questionable. Here at B-Movie Blitzkrieg… the bizarre meets the brilliant one B-Movie at a time.

Dolemite (1975)
Strap in and adjust your polyester lapels, because the B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast is sliding back into your ears smoother than a velvet jumpsuit at a disco funeral. Your fearless hosts, Duncan & The Baz, are heading to the mean streets of 1970s cinema for a soul-powered showdown with the legendary Dolemite (1975).
This episode, we’re diving deep into the kung-fu-fighting, rhyme-spitting, fur-coat-wearing fever dream that introduced the world to Rudy Ray Moore’s iconic alter ego — a pimp, poet, and people’s champion who makes Shaft look like a substitute geography teacher.
---
In This Episode:
A rundown of Dolemite’s utterly bonkers plot, which involves:
An ex-con framed by crooked cops
A madam with a militia of karate-kicking queens
And more monologues than a Shakespeare convention on acid
---
Top 5 Rad/Sad & Bad Moments, including:
Dolemite’s prison release scene – featuring maximum sass, zero paperwork.
A drug addict performance worthy of an Oscar.
The world's slowest kung fu showdown – imagine ballet, but with more bell-bottoms and grunting.
Dolemite’s poetry corner: unfiltered, unpolished, and absolutely unforgettable.
We also tackle the key philosophical question: how many boom mics can one movie accidentally show? (Spoiler: it’s a lot. Like, its own drinking game.)
Plus, we salute the fashion department for what can only be described as “pimp noir chic” — feathered hats, leopard prints, and collars so wide they could be used as gliders.
And finally, the official B-Movie Blitzkrieg rating: is Dolemite a high-flying, streetwise spectacular worthy of five soul-powered salutes, or does it stumble in its platform shoes on the way to grindhouse glory?
---
Whether you came for the cheesy charm, the budget-conscious effects, or the inexplicably aggressive cleaning robots, this episode’s got enough camp and chaos to power a whole food court.
Until then, stay groovy, stay grindhouse and remember, here at B-Movie Blitzkrieg…the bizarre meets the brilliant one B-Movie at a time.

Welcome back to the B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast, where your hosts Duncan & The Baz once again plunge deep into the cinematic swamp of so-bad-it’s-brilliant cinema. In Episode 2, we’re tackling the mall madness mayhem that is Chopping Mall (1986)...a sci-fi/horror/electro-corporate-slaughterhouse hybrid that answers the age-old question: what if RoboCop did mall security... and had zero chill?
---
In This Episode:A brief plot breakdown: teens looking for romance, robots looking for revenge, all in a mall where health and safety regulations were clearly vaporised in the opening credits.
---
Our Top 5 Rad/Sad & Bad Moments, including:*The robot’s polite “Have a nice day” catchphrase... after incinerating someone.*That head-exploding laser shot — because brains should detonate in slow motion.*The baffling idea of after-hours partying in a furniture store. (Who brings champagne to a mattress?)*Lightning strikes that somehow make robots sentient murder machines, not just...fried scrap metal.*One character’s absolutely heroic death via elevator, because of course.A detailed dissection of the many moments where logic took a lunch break (and never returned), including how these ‘killbots’ were greenlit in the first place. Spoiler: capitalism.A special shout-out to the wardrobe department, who managed to kit everyone out in the finest collection of neon workout gear and tube tops the '80s ever produced.And finally, the official B-Movie Blitzkrieg rating: does Chopping Mall earn a shiny five-missile salute, or is it more of a two-mall-cop meltdown?

Hard Ticket to Hawaii (1987)
Welcome to the debut episode of the B-Movie Blitzkrieg Podcast, where your hosts Duncan & The Baz dive headfirst into the gloriously goofy world of B-movies!
This week, we’re kicking things off with a bang (and a snake, and a frisbee of death) as we review the 1987 cult classic Hard Ticket to Hawaii.
---
In This Episode:
A plot outline that’s somehow both paper-thin and wildly convoluted:
Drug smugglers, secret agents, and a contaminated mutant snake — yes, really.
---
Our Top 5 Rad/Sad & Bad Moments:
- The infamous exploding skateboarder scene (because why not add a bazooka to a drug bust?).
- The frisbee assassination...a moment so surreal it deserves its own Oscar category.
- That snake in the toilet jump scare that redefined bathroom anxiety.
- The blow-up doll decoy that somehow works (??).
- The “It’s a hard ticket to Hawaii” line delivery that made us question reality.
Plus:
A breakdown of the most ridiculous script choices (spoiler: there are many).
The worst plot holes, including how a snake gets infected with cancer and becomes a super predator.
Our official B-Movie Blitzkrieg rating out of five...
Will it be a glorious trainwreck or just a flaming dumpster fire?
