After months of build-up, the highly controversial film "Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2" finally goes on trial next week in Tucson, Arizona. BMM News correspondent Jessica Demer brings you the latest updates as lead attorneys Kevin Meeker and Paul A. Brooks arrive at the courthouse for this monumental movie case. 

Some very impressive Friday the 13th fan films have been coming out lately, so Paul and Jason (Huls, not Voorhees, thankfully) watched one of them - “Never Hike in the Snow,” from Womp Stomp Films. It’s got returning cast members, impressive kills, and a great looking Jason (just like this podcast)!

Prepare for a discussion of the ninth Friday the 13th Movie, Jason Goes to Hell, the Final Friday! Oh, hang on, it's not technically a Friday the 13th movie, but that doesn't really matter. Join the boys as they talk about the penultimate Jason movie before the crossovers and remakes started. You'll find out how much body hair is too much for Jason Voorhees, the mood of a tit, and a sneak preview of what awaits us at the 10th Annual 24 Hour B-Movie Marathon. Paul also fucks up the rating scale. You can watch Jason Goes to Hell on DirecTV or MaxGo, or rent it on Amazon Prime. And did you guys know J and Paul met Charles Band!?! Check out the proof below!

Bounty Hunter the Bounty Hunter checks in with Paul and offers to let him know how to erase his parole violation. They also talk about next week's film, Jason Goes to Hell, but Paul finds out this information will cost him. You can watch Jason Goes to Hell on DirecTV or MaxGo if you know what those are. You can buy a physical copy somewhere. Or you can rent it on Amazon. And a big thank you to HBOMax for continuing our long string of removing movies before we release our episodes.

Everyone is headed to Taiwan this week. Special guest Chris Arneson joins the boys as they witness the seven blood curses of an evil worm tribe.  Chow Yun-Fat co-stars in this 1985 Hong Kong thriller. You can watch The Seventh Curse on Asian Crush and Midnight Pulp.

Mike is tired. Thankfully someone is there to announce The Seventh Curse properly. Watch The Seventh Curse on Asian Crush and Midnight Pulp.

Parole Violators is flat out amazing. In this episode J, Mike and Crazy Chris break down why. Paul couldn't make parole so he was still locked up for this one. Is Parole Violators good enough to be called The Room of action movies? You can watch the movie on YouTube and decide. 

You've heard of Bouncer the Bouncer and Goon the Goon from the film, Parole Violators right? Of course you have! In this installment of the hit show Bounty Hunter the Bounty Hunter, the titular Bounty Hunter explains to a meth head why he doesn't want the hero of Parole Violators, Miles Long, to come after him.  You can watch the movie on YouTube for free, brah!

Special guest Ashley Barlow joins B-Movie Mania to chat about Pascal Laugier's 2012 film "The Tall Man."

Toss away your expectations! This week's B Movie Mania is filled with rice zombies, new viral charity challenges, and Big Tuna as we talk about Dead Sushi! Dead Sushi is Noboru Iguchi's ridiculous 2012 entry into Japanese cultural commentary and details the struggles of a young woman making her way in a world of creepy men and venomous morsels. Everyone's favorite B Movie Maniac, Mike, even talks about the movie MASH for some reason! And Paul hates Mike's choice of rating scale! Just like the movie, things stop making sense at some point.You can watch Dead Sushi anywhere DVDs or Blu-rays are sold. Thanks for removing the movie from streaming before we release the episode, Amazon Prime. But you CAN still rent Dead Sushi on Amazon PrimeP.S.: We also talk about a special kiss the Japanese do. To get a sense of what that is, check out this inspirational scene from 1985's Tampopo. A film that is just like Dead Sushi if you only watch the egg kissing part.
