No-budget Nightmares

It’s time for some CROTCH VIOLENCE! That’s right, Violent Shitters, on episode 53 of NBN Moe and Doug slip into the dark, German-y sewage of Andreas Schnaas 1989 ode to filth and depravity VIOLENT SHIT. The pair tag along with Karl the Butcher as he slices off hands, heads and penises while listening to W.A.S.P. and UB40! You also get to hear the winner of our LIGHT OF BLOOD DVD contest!

CAN IT BE TRUE? Moe and Doug have returned to pleasure you aurally! But this time we have a special guest: CONFLICT! This is a rare episode where our two debonair hosts disagree on the quality of the movie being discussed, and therefore TEAR INTO EACH OTHER with delightful vigor. Did the constant technical failures and pop culture ramblings of Eamon Hardiman’s CATHOLIC GHOULGIRLS break Doug’s brain? LISTEN AND FIND OUT! And that’s not all!

Yum! Pudding! Joe Sherlock’s ODD NOGGINS came at the end of the 90s SOV boom, and it’s PLENTY weird – packed with high-riding underwear, curvy ladies, bathtubs and a UFO plot that gleefully makes no sense at all. How about an extended visit to the Circle K? Why not! Have some footage from a comic convention? Throw it in! This is high concept/low quality material, but it’s also like nothing else previously covered on NO-BUDGET NIGHTMARES. How will Doug and Moe’s delicate brains hold up? LISTEN and FIND OUT.

HAPPY 50th, NO-BUDGET NIGHTMARES! And what better way to ring in this anniversary than wallowing in THE MOST DEPRESSING MOVIE EVER?! Seriously. Buddy Giovinazzo’s COMBAT SHOCK is just a carnival of misery which threatens to bum out even our ever-jovial hosts. BUT IT DOESN’T! Instead, Moe and Doug dive into the shit and come out (mostly) unscathed. Watch out mutant babies! STEP ASIDE HAPLESS JUNKIES! IT’S EPISODE 50, and the war is just beginning.

They faced down NIGHTMARE ASYLUM. They battled GOBLIN. They even boogied down with SORORITY BABES IN THE DANCE-A-THON OF DEATH. But now it’s time Moe and Doug to get serious with their Todd Sheets fandom, and what better way than exploring the film where Sheets got SERIOUS? 1993’s ZOMBIE BLOODBATH sees Todd working with a bigger budget, a larger cast, better FX and the GLORIOUS MULLET OF JERRY ANGELL! Is it time to give the devil his due, or will our stalwart hosts be overcome by some face-melting nuclear fallout? Have a little listen and find out!

It’s time for some mildly disappointing ANARCHY in the UK! On episode 48 of the NO-BUDGET NIGHTMARES podcast we take a look at Kemal Yildirim’s 2010 anthology film TALES OF THE DEAD where almost nothing happens and the endings are all TERRIBLE! We guide you through the dismorphic tribulations of LESS IS MORE, the irritating coming-of-age tale WOLF CRY, the completely incomprehensible PENANCE and – finally – the troublingly ok CROMWELL’S CURSE! And it’s all wrapped up in a framing story featuring a group of the most easily scared people in existence. It stinks! Thankfully, Roo is back to take the edge off with another incredible song!

Is it possible? COULD IT BE?! Is it FINALLY time for Doug and Moe to tackle Tim Ritter’s immortal 1986 gonzo-bonzo splatter classic TRUTH OR DARE? A CRITICAL MADNESS? Yes. It is that time. They slap on their copper masks, grab their trusty nunchucks, oil up their chainsaw and gleefully tear into one of the straight-to-video originators. It’s almost too much fun for one podcast, but THAT’S NOT ALL! Stay to the end to hear a specially penned TRUTH OR DARE song from Roo! HOLY UNDERWEAR!

When you were a kid did you ever go into your backyard with a video camera and try to recreate scenes from your favorite movies? Well, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK: THE ADAPTATION is sort of like that.. Except it’s THE ENTIRE MOVIE and it took SEVEN YEARS to do! Yes, a group of Mississippi teens spent seven summers making a shot-for-shot recreation of RAIDERS, and actually FINISHED the darn thing. It’s an example of glorious SOV inspiration, but is it any good outside of the novelty factor? Does it even matter? MOE and DOUG dive into the murky, legally grey waters and get some TOP MEN to check out the archaeological wonders within. IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!

What if God was one of us? Just a slob like one of us? OR.. what if he was real estate salesman/architect Neil Breen, who has spent the last ten years bringing his Hollywood dreams to life with a series of wonderfully bizarre films. In I AM HERE…. NOW, Breen plays ALIEN JESUS, who hops off his cross to teach us humans a little something about compassion and renewable energy sources. Are you a government fat-cat lining his pockets with sweet kickbacks? Well, Breen has some very harsh, unconvincing words for you! You also get fake babies, enthusiastic escorts, CANCER CHEMO, and plenty of gratuitous screaming. With another amazing song from the too-talented Lucas “Roo” Raymond!

Hold onto your beers, ladies and gentleman, because you’re about to experience the goopiest, silliest, most drunk-drivingest piece of nonsense to crawl out of mid-80s Texas. It’s Bret McCormick’s THE ABOMINATION, which is blessed with a title that quite accurately (and succinctly) describes the movie it belongs to. It also begins with a five minute highlight reel that makes actually viewing the following 85 minutes entirely unnecessary! BUT THAT’S NOT ALL! There’s also farting! Moe and Doug choke this one down with hesitation, but soon find themselves occasionally enjoying the threadbare pleasures on display. Dig into the latest episode of the NO-BUDGET NIGHTMARES podcast. And.. horse!

You’re a winner! HA HA HA! Michael Fitzgerald STUFFED the ballot box for our recent NO-BUDGET NIGHTMARE poll and now he has to BEND OVER and receive his reward: a review of his 2009 no-budget horror (?) satire VICTOR JULIET’S DIRECTOR’S CUT! Enjoy Lili Taylor-esque actresses in HARDY BOYZ wrestling gear? How about superfluous documentary sequences? Goofy sword fights? It’s all here! You’ll even get to hear Moe get flustered by having the promise of boobs cruelly stolen away. All this and a BRAND NEW song by the AMAZING Roo!

It’s EPISODE 42 of No-Budget Nightmares, and Moe and Doug are continuing the trend of SOV classics with Pericles Lewnes Troma-distributed zombie-comedy classic REDNECK ZOMBIES.

Our house! In the middle of our street! Our BOARDINGHOUSE! It’s the ORIGINATOR of SOV horror, and Moe Porne and Doug Tilley find themselves perplexed while trying to unwrap the mysteries of John Wintergate’s ode to hedonism/psychokinesis. If you like tiger-print banana hammocks, impenetrable timelines, dead cats, and topless nudity, you’re going to want to lap up all of this delicious podcast MILK. Yum yum!

Sweet sassy molasssy! The NO-BUDGET NIGHTMARES PODCAST is *BACK*! And it’s packing HEAT! And for their triumphant return, Moe Porne and Doug “Sweetback” Tilley are covering an all time nutball classic from 1994: KINDERGARTEN NINJA. Featuring NFL legend Dwight Clark as a drunken, womanizing douchebag who turns his life around thanks to MARTIAL ARTS, kids(!) and the ghost of Bruce Lee. Seriously! Clark gets a chance to fight, sing, eat french-fries, cozy up to bimbos, hilariously promote his restaurant and ACT! Sort of! And the episode ends with another INCREDIBLE song by Roo, and the promise of many, many more episodes to come. STOP READING AND START LISTENING!

Wait! WHAT?! No-Budget Nightmares is BACK?!! Why didn't anyone tell me?! Actually, the return of the NBN Podcast is imminent, but while you're waiting why not check out this LONG LOST bonus episode! Recorded way back in June, Moe and Doug tackle the wonderfully bizarre Canadian martial arts flick ORDER OF ONE: KUNG-FU KILLING SPREE, which is chocablock full of heart-ripping, head-smashings, NUNCHUCKS and heaps of wonderful Grade-A Canuck cheese.

We're CRAZY FROM THE HEAT! It's the 1988 Jon McBride/Tom Fisher SHOT-ON-VIDEO classic CANNIBAL CAMPOUT, and Moe and Doug get FIRED UP by the meaty bloodletting. This episode has it all: profane sound clips, celebrity impressions, and another brand-new song from Roo, based on the film! Head to the smokehouse, slice up some "teenagers" and dig in.

It's the classic love story. Boy meets girl. Boy shares corpse with girl. Boy loses girl to corpse. Boy... does some stuff that is difficult to describe. It's episode 36 of the NO-BUDGET NIGHTMARES podcast and we're talking about some CORPSE F**CKING ART! It's 1988's sleaze-art-German classic NEKROMANTIK directed by twisted auteur Jörg Buttgereit, and while some poor souls would only dare dip the tip in, hosts Moe Porne and Doug "SWEETBACK" Tilley have gone whole hog into this ode to dead love. Join us in the murky pool of blood, urine, goo and other bodily fluids, and stick around till the end for a very special treat!

No-Budget Nightmares is back! Back in black! Due to a certain host’s incompetence, we’ve had to call an audible this week and feature another film by SUBURBAN SASQUATCH auteur Dave Wascavage. But this glaring error turns out to be a BEAUTIFUL GIFT as we’re treated to a glorious cavalcade of incompetence, green screen-a-plenty and more stilted, awkward acting than you can shake a Sasquatch at. It’s ELEVATOR-A-GO-GO in 2010′s MALEVOLENT ASCENT and you can actually hear the point in the episode where Moe’s brain snaps in two. It’s all a bit sloppy, but that’s to be expected. BLESS THIS MESS.

Microbudget films can be EDUCATIONAL! For instance, in Bobby Keller's DEATHERMAN we learn that a combination of radiation and acid rain can cause a recently buried weatherman to return to life and CRAVE BLOOD. SCIENCE! So grab your BAROMETER as there's a WARM PRESSURE SYSTEM of murder coming your way. Thankfully, you have meteorological mad-men Moe Porne and Doug "Sweetback" Tilley to guide you through the highs and lows of this no-budget throwback on the latest episode of NO-BUDGET NIGHTMARES!
