Blood And Black Rum Podcast - A Cult Film / Horror Podcast

We're moving into the vehicle action of the '90s with Steven Seagal's early career film Under Siege, which uses the setup and popularity of Die Hard but on a Navy ship! This one's actually a lot of fun and we talk about the things that make this succeed, as well as the multiple submarines on display (wink). We're also drinking Sloop Brewing's Premium Lager. Approximate timeline 0:00-9:00 Intro 9:00-16:00 Beer talk 16:00-end Under Siege Next up: Con-Air! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/support

We're kicking off Red Hot '90s Action Summer by returning to the Bronx, this time with Jackie Chan in his American debut from 1995! We talk about the film's dubbing, the nonsensical plot about a diamond heist, dirtbikes in the city, and a whole lot more. We're also drinking Beer Tree Brewing's Cerveza! Approximate timeline 0:00-9:00 Intro and Walker check in 9:00-16:00 Beer talk 16:00-end Rumble in the Bronx Next up: Under Siege! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/support

The doldrums of summer are upon us and so we wanted a nice easy, lazy film. So of course we're talking Dennis Hopper's Easy Rider, a thesis on the American dream and Americana of the late '60s. We discuss this idea of freedom throughout the movie, how the film handles it with its experimental approaches, and the different vignettes that we get throughout. We're also drinking Southern Tier Brewing's Orange Twist Imperial Ale in collaboration with Perry's Ice Cream! Approximate timeline 0:00-8:00 Intro 8:00-15:00 Beer talk 15:00-end Easy Rider Next up: we start Red Hot '90s Action Summer! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/support

Since we've already covered Escape from New York, it was only right that we also do the Italian copycat film Escape from the Bronx, which, as we quickly point out, actually has nothing to do with escaping. This sequel to 1990: The Bronx Warriors certainly has a lot in common with its brethren but it does a number of things differently, and more importantly its extremely low budget means lots of unintentional laughs abound. Look for dummies blowing up, lots of extras playing laser tag, and a lot more. We're also drinking Finback Brewing's Rolling in Clouds IPA. Approximate timeline 0:00-8:00 Intro 8:00-16:00 Beer talk 16:00-end Escape from the Bronx Next up: Easy Rider. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/support

We never experienced Hackers when it came out in our glorious year of 1995, but man, the nostalgia still hits hard here. The dress, the aesthetic, the cyberspace visuals - all of that is so '90s it hurts sometimes, and we're here for it. We're talking all things cybertechnic here, from the techno score to the complex virus warfare to... Penn Jillette and Marc Anthony showing up in the movie?! We're also drinking Speckled Pig's My Boy Blue Blueberry Pilsner!

Hot on the heels of George Miller's masterpiece Mad Max: Fury Road (only 9 years later), we get Furiosa, an origin story to the iconic character. Spanning a length of time and showcasing the vengeance driving her, Furiosa delves into the death-defying foibles of Anya Taylor-Joy as she attempts to get revenge on Dementus. We talk about the stunts, CGI, vengeance storyline, and a whole lot more. We're also drinking Beer Tree Brewing's Summer Shandy!

We're going back to Lars von Trier's filmography with a look at The House That Jack Built for this final installment of Difficult Films II. A serial killer story with a nice series of vignettes, this look at Matt Dillon's murdering antihero is at times bleak and also darkly comic; we talk about the funniness inherent in the film as well as its most disturbing elements, the metatextual commentary, and a lot more. We're also drinking Sloop Brewing's (No) Tan Line NEIPA. Approximate timeline 0:00-10:00 Intro 10:00-17:00 Beer talk 17:00-end The House That Jack Built That ends Difficult Films month, but we'll be back soon with new episodes! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/support

Perhaps infamously known as one of the most difficult films, A Serbian Film has been disgusting audiences since 2010. For our second round of difficult films, it's only fair we tackle this offensive classic to throw our own input into the mix. We talk the grit and grime of this movie, its production values, whether it has redeeming value, and a whole lot more on this very special episode. Hopefully not too many red flags here. We're also drinking Fidens Brewing's Accelerant DDH Double IPA. Approximate timeline 0:00-10:00 Intro 10:00-15:00 Beer talk 15:00-end A Serbian Film Next for our last difficult film: The House That Jack Built. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/support

While it may not be considered a difficult film today, A Clockwork Orange has always been deemed a shocking affair thanks to Stanley Kubrick's display of deviancy and debauchery. Here, we take a look at the film and explore the themes of reform, incarceration, moral choice, and a whole lot more; and also, yes there's talk of all the phallic imagery and sexuality on display. We are also drinking Genesee Brewing's new Mango Peach Kolsch!

Difficult Films month is back and we're starting with a big one, the controversial film banned in a number of countries and speculated to be a snuff film Cannibal Holocaust. Of course those elements are untrue despite its icky real-life animal killings, but we're talking about the film's virtues as a historical marker in the cannibal film genre, mondo filmmaking, and the inevitable inspiration of the found footage genre. We talk about a lot of stuff in this episode, so sit down, grab some meats of choice, and let's get difficult! Approximate timeline 0:00-10:00 Intro 10:00-16:00 Beer talk 16:00-end Cannibal Holocaust Up next: A Clockwork Orange --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/support

We're back with the Earp boys and Doc Holliday in our coverage of Tombstone, the 1993 Avengers of Westerns that blends spaghetti and hamburgers together for an Italian-American action thriller starring Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer, and Sam Elliott. We talk about the film's historical context, some memorable scenes, Kilmer's excellent acting, and a lot more. We're also drinking Common Roots Brewing's Reference Method German Pilsner.

Since The First Omen is currently terrorizing theaters, we thought it would be a good time to do the first Omen, aka The Omen 1976 with Gregory Peck as a father finding out his adopted son may just be the Antichrist. Here we talk about the film's lasting effects, the similarities and differences to The Exorcist, the various outfits of Robert Thorn, and even a connection to Halloween 6? We're also drinking Hoof Hearted Brewing's Duke of Ripstick Super Party Pale Ale! Chapters Introduction (0:00-14:50) Beer talk (14:50-22:38) Gregory Peck's outfits and male chauvinism (22:38-33:25) Damien at 5 in London (33:25-38:15) The Eerie birthday party (38:15-41:00) Christianity and parenting (41:00-59:00) Meeting the Priest, galivanting through Rome (59:00-1:05:50) Robert Thorn and Halloween 6 (1:05:50-1:11:40) Final thoughts and rating - scale of 1-10 Gregory Peck Cumbersome Turtlenecks™ (1:11:40-end) Thanks to daub_audio for our new opening theme.

We've been fans of Wes Anderson for some time, so we thought we were about due for a new episode on his most latest output, Asteroid City. Here we talk about how the film further expands the border of Wes Anderson-isms, being a natural extension of The French Dispatch, the meta-contextual elements, the massive cast, and the bloat that sometimes creeps up in Anderson's most recent films. We're also drinking Ommegang's Farm Fresh Ale, Honey Conditioned!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! We're continuing our journey through the Leprechaun series with a look at the WWE Studios reboot Leprechaun: Origins starring Hornswoggle as the titular horror character. The biggest thing about this movie is the fact that it is so generic and unmemorable, and we struggle to put into words just how humdrum the whole thing is. We're also drinking Sloop Brewing Co.'s (No) Green Beer NEIPA!

With all the success of Helldivers 2, we thought it would be appropriate to finally cover Paul Verhoeven's Starship Troopers on our show. This has all of the things you've come to know from the director: parodical elements, propaganda pieces, ultragore, and a healthy satirical take on fascism. We talk about all of this plus the Dina Meyer/Costas Mandylor connection! We're also drinking Sierra Nevada's new 19.2 oz Cosmic Little Thing double hazy IPA.

Happy Black History Month! We of course wanted to celebrate this occasion with another blaxploitation movie since we haven't done all that many on the show. Here, we take on Foxy Brown, released one year after Pam Grier's classic Coffy and featuring a lot of the same themes. We talk about the more exploitative elements in the film, the zany inclusion of certain scenes, and of course the sultry Pam performance. We're also drinking Brooklyn Brewing's collaboration with Four Roses Distilling, the Black Ops Imperial Barrel Aged Stout. Approximate timeline 0:00-12:00 Intro 12:00-20:00 Beer talk 20:00-end Foxy Brown --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bloodandblackrum/support

17 years after its release, Ryne finally gets to see the movie that spawned one catchphrase about milkshakes. We talk about this fantastic picture from Paul Thomas Anderson, including the overall throughlines of the film including capitalism and religion, the score, put on our best Daniel Day-Lewis impressions, and a lot more. We're rounding out Dry January with Guinness 0, their non-alcoholic beer that actually is not 0%.

We knew we wanted to do a spaghetti western, but after a misfire - we picked a movie we already did, and we'll explain - we decided on the originator of all of those Django westerns. Here we talk about Franco Nero as the protagonist, the machine gun, how this relates to A Fistful of Dollars and Django the Bastard, and of course, Maria! We're also drinking Industrial Arts' Safety Glasses, a non-alcoholic IPA for Dry January.

Welcome to 2024. For our first episode of the new year, we're taking on familial dysfunction and wrestling in A24's The Iron Claw, based on the lives of the Von Erich brothers. We talk about the film's historical accuracy, the depiction of wrestling, Ric Flair woos, and a whole lot more.

Sorry for the late episode due to the holidays, but we're finishing our Chaberting Gifts series for this holiday season with a look at the generically winter-themed Winter in Vail starring Lacey Chabert as... an event planner again. Yes, we've covered similar movies in the Hallmark output this season, and we discuss all of the great things that make this movie tick including the lack of touching, the Strudelfest shenanigans, and a whole lot more. We're also drinking Beer Tree Brewing's Pils by a Billion Pilsner to celebrate the Buffalo Bills and football Sunday. Approximate timeline 0:00-12:00 Intro 12:00-20:00 Beer talk 20:00-end Winter in Vail We'll be back throughout 2024 with new episodes and going back to a biweekly schedule for the time being.
