    369 - The Exterminator (1980)

    369 - The Exterminator (1980)

    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. 

    368 - The Last Match (1991)

    368 - The Last Match (1991)

    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. 

    364 - Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984)

    364 - Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984)

    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. 

    363 - Fake-Out (1982)

    363 - Fake-Out (1982)

    Pia Zadora finally returns to the bin! Yobo, Bobby, new guest Jeff, and Mike discuss this Pia Zadora, Telly Savalas crime caper in Las Vegas. Despite being financed by Pia's then husband, filmed at his hotel (The Riveria), and simply a vehicle for more Pia screen time, this is a strangely enjoyable movie! So grab a Pia-tina and enjoy extended scenes of Telly gambling and grabbing butts. 

    This episode featured some technical difficulties in our first hour. If you're interested in seeing and hearing the almost four hour cut (including live watches of Telly Savalas music videos) check out our Patreon

    362 - Xanadu (1980)

    362 - Xanadu (1980)

    Yobo, Steve, Matt, and Mike discuss the ill-fated Olivia Newtown John and ELO musical. Featuring hot and sandy popcorn at the beach, maybe our most elaborate and nonsensical movie scam yet, guys rubbing themselves Xanadu in the Getty, and the hardest takes Yobo has ever had on interior design and rollerskating club logistics. 

    With more than double the runtime of the movie, this is an epic episode of the bin that shouldn't be missed. 

    361 - Dixie Ray: Hollywood Star (1982) - Camvember 2023

    361 - Dixie Ray: Hollywood Star (1982) - Camvember 2023

    Steve and Izzy from EILFM join Bobby, Mary, and Mike as Camvember 2023 comes to a close with the adult film Cameron didn't know he starred in... allegedly. Dixie Ray, eventually cut into an R rated film called "It's Murder Baby" is a noir thriller that features some of the most uncomfortable, exposition laden sex scenes, and a very, very drunk Cameron. It's the perfect, akward way to end 2023's Camvember. 

    360 - Slaughter (1972) - Camvember 20223

    360 - Slaughter (1972) - Camvember 20223

    Camvember 2023 continues with J.M. Brandt returning to talk the original Slaughter with Bobby and Mike. Surely there are lots of outstanding questions we had from the second movie that are answered here, right? There has to be incredibly backstories for characters we met in the second film, right? There is at least a super computer at this Mexico (South America) base, right?!

    Find out the answers to these questions (probably not)... and more!

    358 - Jack-O (1995) - Camvember 2023

    358 - Jack-O (1995) - Camvember 2023

    Bobby, Chef Robby, Terry, and Mike kick off Camvember with the unforgettable, Fred Olen Ray produced, direct-to-video slasher, Jack-O. Cameron's performance is brief but memorable in this one as he does something NO Grindbin all-star has ever done before! Also featuring a long dead John Carradine, the most uncomfortable nude scene of Linnea Quigley's career, and an bunch of pumpkins Fed kept in his garage for six months before filming started. 

    357 - Contraband (1980)

    357 - Contraband (1980)

    Bobby, Faustus, Vaughn, and Mike talk about the Lucio Fulci cigarette smuggling movie Contaband.

    354 - Master of the Flying Guillotine (1976)

    354 - Master of the Flying Guillotine (1976)

    Vaughn, Lee, Bobby, and Mike discuss the Jimmy Wang Yu classic that puts a shiv into the Shaw Brothers. 

    A one-armed kung fu expert brings his students to a martial arts contest where a blind assasin with a blade hat starts beheading every one-armed man he can find. Chaos ensues, will our teacher survive? Is this murder spree actually because people didn't pay their restaurant bill? Find out on this action packed episode of the bin... which is also a sequel and Vaughn messed up the scheduling. 

    353 - Corvette Summer (1978)

    353 - Corvette Summer (1978)

    Chef Robby, Chuck, Matt Anderson, Doug Wortel (from THE MIGHTY PECULIAR), and Mike talk about Corvette Summer. This coming-of-age "comedy" starring Mark Hamill (fresh off the set of Star Wars) and Annie Potts is one of the more disturbing movies we've seen on the bin in a long time. 

    Mark Hamill loves to build strange cars and pose on the hood like Tom Savini in Knightriders. When his latest creation is stolen during a High School shop class field trip to Van Nuys Blvd, Mark takes off to Vegas in search of the Corvette. On the way he meets Annie Potts, a teenaged-sex-worker-in-training who helps him try to track it down between giving herself swirlies in gas station men's rooms. It's a laugh riot!!!
