Welcome to the Grindbin
The Grindbin is a weekly podcast about the world of exploitation and Grindhouse films. Each week we cover a new film, discuss the history behind it, and have some laughs as we run down the plot.
One of the greatest exploitation movies ever made, Ms. 45 is a testament to artistic vision and powerful messaging through disturbing subject matter.

HGL returns to the Grindbin with one of his earlier outings and arguably one of his most famous films.
The worst movie we’ve ever seen on the Grindbin. Even an appearance by Cameron Mitchell couldn’t save this from being a complete dumpster fire.
Pieces, a movie shot in Spain, but apparently taking place in Boston, Massachusetts is one of the most insane slasher flms ever made.
Grindbin Hall of Famer Charles Bronson returns to the bin for one of his most memorable movies from the 1980’s not called Death Wish.
An absolutely incredible film from Hong Kong’s library of category three movie. Robotrix is a film like no other. Thanks to our Patron Dr. Faustas for the recommendation!
In what has to be one of the weirdest movies ever made for children, Little Red Riding Hood and Tom Thumb try and thwart the evil queen from Disney’s Snow White (yup) and send her to hell!
Bruce Lee is back! Only this time he’s been sent to hell and teamed up with Popeye and some dude who looks like Indiana Jones to fight Dracula’s army of Mummies… We are not kidding.
It's 100 episodes and your votes have been cast. Find out who takes home those golden dumpsters on the first annual binnies.
A new Grindbin classic! Angel is a dirty, disgusting, and vile film that is the epitome of Grindhouse cinema.

Blairvember continues with a horror movie that wanted to let you know it's aware it's a pile of garbage. What it thinks is a clever twist ends up being a massive excuse for bad filmmaking and an interesting entry into Linda Blair's filmography.
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD EPISODE 83 - MOVING TARGET (1988)
Blairvember 2017 continues with a movie you wouldn't even find in the bottom of a Blockbuster dumpster. A true must-see-to-believe piece of "entertainment" that is a shocking testament to how powerful a paycheck can be.

Murray Langston returns to the Grindbin to prove why he might be our least favorite person in existence. We honestly thought there could never be a movie worse than Night Patrol on this podcast, and then you did it again Murray!

The Grindbin is now on Patreon. The show is and always will be free but our Patrons get access to exclusive mini-episodes as well the ability to choose and vote on films for future episodes.
DEATH SMILES has everything you'd want in a gothic/giallo hybrid. The 1906 Austria setting means the scenery and costuming are beautifully lavish, but at the same time you get all of the weird angles, quick zooms and in-your-face brutality that give 70s Italian horror its distinct voice. Sorta like if Downton Abbey had eye trauma.
Cameron Mitchell gives a performance that simply can’t be missed in this generic action film from Crown International Pictures.
The uncomfortable, misguided but powerful film, COONSKIN, opens with Scatman Crothers singing his heart out while attacking a defenseless ukulele. At first listen this song sounds…well, racist. It is racist. It’s a minstrel song. The more I listen to it, the more I realize that the lyrics are 1) smarter than they appear and 2) tell the story of the African-American experience, more specifically the way blacks are represented in film. Bakshi did his research, he wrote a true red, white, and blue 19th century minstrel song, or parody of a minstrel song in this case.
Karate Kill is the new film that will have its US release July 18th and is the newest film from director/writer Kurando Mitsukake. If you've browsed netflix in the last few years you may have seen another one of his films, Gun Woman.
Nude Nuns with Big Guns is a 2010 film directed by Joseph Guzman and it is everything you think it is.
One of Lucio Fulci's earlier films, 1972's Don't Torture a Duckling is an interesting example of early 70's Italian filmmaking and the Giallo genre.
I love a good shoot out movie. I have always loved them and very few are as iconic and legendary as The Wild Bunch.
Take a look at one of the lesser entries on the infamous Video Nasty list!
I'm going to do something slightly more than a film review this time. I hope my slight change is tolerated by readers and maybe even introduces you to some very cool stuff you may not have known about otherwise.
Every one knows about the the infamous ED Wood film Plan 9. Even if you have not seen the film itself, you may have seen a fictionalized story about the making of it in the film Ed Wood. Yes its regarded as awful and one of the "so bad it's good" films that people still talk about. Irrespective of its quality and merit, it does have sticking around power and nothing proves that more than a remake.
