Podcast Schedule
The BBandBC podcast followed a regular release schedule, with new episodes dropping weekly. Each episode focused on a single film from the action, exploitation, or horror genres, with hosts Mike and Iris offering their irreverent take on B-movies, cult classics, and grindhouse fare.
Episodes were typically posted on Sundays, with advance notice of upcoming film selections shared through the podcast's social media channels. The schedule was always subject to change — hosts occasionally shuffled lineups to accommodate special guests or themed events like the annual Mamorial Day Special.
The world of exploitation cinema has long thrived on a potent mix of martial arts mayhem, grindhouse grit, and unabashed excess. From the zombie-infested tombs of the blind dead to the thunderous streets where a lone fighter screams for justice, these B-movies deliver exactly what their titles promise and nothing more. What makes this corner of film history so enduring is its refusal to apologize for being exactly what it is—low-budget, high-energy, and unapologetically entertaining. Fans keep returning to these pictures not despite their rough edges but because of them, finding genuine craft hiding beneath the cheap thrills.
Each episode of the podcast dives deep into a single picture, unpacking everything from the director's intentions to the practical effects that made audiences squirm. Films like The Dragon Lives Again and The Mighty Peking Man showcase the wild creativity that flourished when budgets were tight but imagination ran free. The hosts approach every selection with equal parts scholarly curiosity and schoolyard irreverence, treating these movies as worthy subjects of serious discussion while never losing sight of the sheer fun that first drew audiences to them. It is this balance that keeps listeners coming back week after week.
For newcomers to the genre, the world of exploitation film can seem overwhelming, with its countless subgenres and dizzying array of titles. Yet the beauty of B-movie culture is its accessibility—anyone can pick a film, press play, and discover something surprising. Whether you prefer the blood-soaked horror of the undead, the bone-crunching action of classic martial arts, or the raw energy of grindhouse revenge tales, there is a picture waiting to become your next obsession. The conversation around these films is alive and well, carried forward by a community of devoted fans who refuse to let these overlooked treasures fade into obscurity.
