Grindbin Podcast - Grindhouse and Exploitation Films

Join your hosts Mike and Bobby as they delve into the world of grindhouse and exploitation films from the 1970's, 1980's and beyond. The movies they discuss range from the funny to the downright bizarre but they are always fascinating and often forgotten gems.

404 - Seven (1979) 02/06/2025

404 - Seven (1979) Yobouary starts strong with the classic Andy Sidaris film, Seven! Starring Grindbin All Star William Smith, this is Sidaris at his best. This movie has literally everything you could want... and, unfortunately, offensive comedy routines... /episode/index/show/grindbin/id/35171935

403 - Don't Go Near the Park (1979) 01/30/2025

403 - Don't Go Near the Park (1979) Terry, Lee, Bobby, and Mike discuss a Patreon request from the producer of a classic Grindbin movie... Malibu High (1979)! A movie that is baffling, highly probalamtic, inept in every way, and something (most) of us absolutely loved. /episode/index/show/grindbin/id/35079200

402 - Hammerhead Jones (1986) 01/23/2025

402 - Hammerhead Jones (1986) The guys discuss an incredible wrestling vanity project that surfaced online in the past few years. Starring Ted "Wolfman" Vernon, a man of many hats, including exotic car dealer, prizefighter, writer, producer, gun runner?! /episode/index/show/grindbin/id/34967745

401 - The Banker (1989) 01/15/2025

401 - The Banker (1989) Tanner, Greg, Bobby, and Mike discuss the Robert Forester "banking" film filled with tons of hot banking action. Cash those checks, keep those receipts, and hit up your ATM, the Banker is in town! /episode/index/show/grindbin/id/34862425

400 - School Spirit (1985) 01/02/2025

400 - School Spirit (1985) Bobby, Yobo, Wick, and Mike celebrate the 400th episode of the bin with a classic "Roger Please" movie that in no way holds up to modern standards. This episode has it all everyone: over 3 hours, soy sauce scholorships, rolling chair and dip bars, and a morning zoo radio show. Thanks for sticking with us everyone! /episode/index/show/grindbin/id/34693505

399 - Memorial Valley Massacre - CAMVEMBER 2024 12/18/2024

399 - Memorial Valley Massacre - CAMVEMBER 2024 In true Grindbin fashion, Camvember 2024 finally comes to a close over half way through December... but with a real banger! Yobo, Matt, Bobby, and Mike pitch the tent, self-Nell, and drink some crotch warmed high lifes for an ill-fated camping trip. Memorial Valley Massacre is one of the most incohorent, logic defying, and intelligence insulting movies we've ever seen on this show; which makes it a perfect way to end this year's celebration of the man who was barely in the movie. /episode/index/show/grindbin/id/34498610

398 - Space Mutiny (1988) - CAMVEMBER 2024 12/04/2024

398 - Space Mutiny (1988) - CAMVEMBER 2024 Fern, Artemis, Bobby, and Mike continue their deep dive into Cameron Mitchel films with another David Winter's "classic" Space Mutiny. Fake beards, directors quitting, space nepotism, this movie has it ALL! /episode/index/show/grindbin/id/34278310

397 Codename Vengeance (1987) - CAMVEMBER 2024 11/14/2024

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! /episode/index/show/grindbin/id/33924652

396 - Screamers (1981) - CAMVEMBER 2024 11/07/2024

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. /episode/index/show/grindbin/id/33826042

395 - Night of the Demons (1988) 10/30/2024

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?! /episode/index/show/grindbin/id/33679787

394 - Southern Comfort (1981) 10/23/2024

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. /episode/index/show/grindbin/id/33579652

393 - The Boss (1973) 10/16/2024

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! /episode/index/show/grindbin/id/33479037

392 - Thrilling Bloody Sword (1981) 10/02/2024

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! /episode/index/show/grindbin/id/33198462

390 - Kiss the Girls and Make Them Die (1966) 09/18/2024

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. /episode/index/show/grindbin/id/33102502

389 - Reform School Girls (1986) 09/11/2024

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.

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! /episode/index/show/grindbin/id/32569817

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.
