A (Family Friendlier) Top 10 of Amusing Movie Deaths

Be warned this family friendlier cut keeps the additional Patreon entries, one of which features gory content I'd usually censor (there isn't really any way to do that on this occasion). If you are watching with kids, or gore just isn't your thing, I'd consider the 2025-10-22 11:30:37 +0000 UTC View Post

A Top 10 of Amusing Movie Deaths

"Dying is an art, like everything else." (Silvia Plath, Lady Lazarus)

"NO... NOT THE BEES... AAARGH!" (Nicolas Cage, The Wicker Man.)

**Apologies for describing The Field as British. Although technically a co-production, it really is more Irish.

Just a short listicle on a few amusing movie deaths. I know th...

Beyond the Room Episode 4: R.O.T.O.R.

New episode of the Patreon podcast with Andy Last, and this time we're talking about R.O.T.O.R.

This is one of my favourite 1980s genre movies of any kind: the movie The Terminator could have been; and that RoboCop wishes it was. I can't recommend it enough.

Thanks as always to host Andy Last. He does the prod...

Borrowing Blockbusters: Mad Max (2 of 2) FAMILY FRIENDLIER VERSION

You know the deal!

Borrowing Blockbusters: Mad Max (Part 2 of 2)

The concluding part of the Maxploitation (very) deep dive. I'm sorry this has taken so long, thank you for your patience. I can't let a project get this out of control again as it's too much time between videos!

FYI this is the uncut/uncensored version, and things do get fairly strong. There's a family friendlier versio...

A Few (Older) Podcast Appearances

I want to share some older podcast appearances without swamping my feed, so I've gathered the ones I can remember doing into this post!

There's a post about my recent visit to the Movie Oubliette (where we talked about Lifeforce) in the podcasts and commentaries Collection, but 2025-08-15 15:15:34 +0000 UTC View Post

Family Friendlier Version of BB: Mad Max (Part 1 of 2)

The same edit but with bleeped f-bombs and boxed out nudity.

Borrowing Blockbusters: Mad Max (Part 1 of 2)

We're post the apocalypse for the Bad Max World Championships! It's getting late here and I can't think of anything to add to that.

I hope you enjoy!

EDIT:

As usual there's a bizarre inaccuracy that I don't understand! This time I confused Michael Pare and James Remar (and slandered Michael Pare in the p...

Bad Max Update

I'm in the phase that long time patrons may recognise; when the end is in sight and I'm unable to do anything or talk to anyone if it's unrelated to the video.

I just wanted to let you know it will be a two-part Borrowing Blockbusters. I'm sorry to those who preferred one very long episode, but there's so much to cover ...

A Very Niche Poll

Let's say, just for example, that the latest Borrowing Blockbusters is currently clocking in at around two hours in length: would you rather see it as one very long episode, or two quite long ones? Or does it make no difference?

Beyond The Room Episode 3: Gymkata

Here's the latest episode of the Patreon podcast. This time I force Andy Last to watch Gymkata, and then try to make sense of it.

The Bad Movie Bible Guide to Jawsploitation: Live and Embarrassing

I just checked out the start and it made me fold into a mortified husk, so I can't bear to watch any more. There was a last minute kerfuffle with some confusion and tech issues, but I can't blame anyone other than myself. To be honest I'd like to bury it, but I said I'd post it so here it is. Going to run and hide now.

Best Worst Deaths

I know the 'Best Worst' videos are a little lightweight, but I'm able to produce them far more quickly than the deep dives, and they allow an opportunity to focus on really specific subjects.

Between the Mad Max and Brucesploitation Borrowing Blockbusters I'm going to do one on funniest death scenes, so any suggestions...

And the Next Next Borrowing Blockbusters Is...

Brucesploitation! It was Rambo's to lose after the first few days, but it was Bruce who had the legs, taking 22% of the vote to John J's 20%. It was so close I'll have to do Rambo soon after, though.

So Mad Max is next, and Brucesploitation after that. Both are monsters, so I'll probably follow them up with something sm...

Poll for Next Borrowing Blockbusters

Technically the next BB will be Mad Max. But I've watched almost everything for that now, so I need to start building a watch list for the following episode.

It seems weird adding options that have already been beaten in other polls... but they're all technically good candidates. If the same mother movies keep failing ...

Some Pics from Forbidden Worlds Film Festival

Everything seemed to go ok at the film festival. I was only marginally embarrassing with Gale Anne Hurd, and the 'Jawsploitation Live' thing seemed to go well. Not sure I was very good, but the audience were laughing so I won't complain. I believe it was video'd, so it will appear here on my Patreon hopefully some time this w...

Updates & Reminders!

I wanted to apologise for falling behind with correspondence again. I've been snowed under with Mad Max, 1980s monsters, and an upgrade on the shed I work in (it now has basic sound proofing, hooray!).

'Borrowing Blockbusters: Mad Max' will be the next video, and I'm quite a way through it now. I'll be posting a poll s...

A Top 10 Best Worst 1980s Movie Monsters (FAMILY FRIENDLIER VERSION)

There is a reference to a water buffalo crapping in a lizard's mouth, but I pixelated the excrement and bleeped the swearing.

A Top 10 Best Worst Movie Monsters of the 1980s

Just a short thing. I'm still working on the Mad Max Borrowing Blockbusters, which (needless to say) is going to be pretty long!

I knew I'd have to take a break before launching into the final edit, and that's what this video's for.

Movie Oubliette Podcast on 'Lifeforce'

I recently appeared on the Movie Oubliette podcast to talk about Toby Hooper's space vampire fiesta Lifeforce, which was more interesting but no less flawed than I remembered. I'm a big fan of this show. The idea is to watch and discuss a movie that bombed, and then decide whether it should be released from the cultural oubli...

Genredrome

For the last couple of years, Oliver Harper and I have been doing Zoom commentaries on mainstream genre movies over on his YouTube channel. (It's kind of separate to the BMB persona because it's mainstream stuff, but I'm going to make them available here anyway as the partnership has proved popular with Ollie's viewers.)

Update: Incoming Videos and Forbidden Worlds Film Festival

Just wanted to point to a couple of incoming videos, and let you know I'll be at this year's Forbidden Worlds film festival, held from 28th May to 1st June at the Bristol Megascreen here in the UK.

On Friday 30th May I'll be interviewing Gale Anne Hurd (producer of The Terminator, Aliens, Tremors etc.) live on stage ab...

Predator 2 Commentary (with Ollie Harper and Nick Helm)

I've been doing commentaries with Ollie Harper on his channel for a while, and have been meaning to upload them here without adverts for ages. This is the latest, with comedian Nick Helm. I'll get some more up in the coming days.

Borrowing Blockbusters: RoboCop (Family Friendlier version)

Apologies for cluttering the feed with another one off these, but if I don't give the family friendlier version of this video its own post, I can't put it in the family friendlier collection!

Beyond the Room Episode 2: Deadly Prey

Another episode of the Patreon exclusive podcast, in which I torment Canadian DJ and podcaster Andy Last with good bad classics. This time

Borrowing Blockbusters: RoboCop (alt link)

I see there's some trouble with buffering. This is an alternative link to the same video hosted on a different YT channel. FYI this is not 'adult restricted' (wondering if that's something to do with the buffering somehow...?) so it will probably get removed at some point. Hopefully by then whatever is causing the buffering w...

Borrowing Blockbusters: RoboCop

I see a few people are having buffering issues. I'm not an expert, but the video is hosted on YouTube, so if you haven't cut out Patreon and tried watching there, maybe give it a go. I will re-up a new version today addressing the usual little issues, so I hope that will fix whatever this buffering problem is. 2025-03-21 17:09:01 +0000 UTC View Post
