Month of Pete wraps up with two of our perverts: our very own Scream Queen, Anna, and best buddy, Erin, from Manic Movie Monday. This week is certainly a Pete Pick as we cover the Hammer exploitation classic The Vampire Lovers from 1970. Pete's love of Hammer horror movies has been clearly documented. From the acting to the set pieces and the absurdly silly red coloring of blood, it's no surprise that if you throw some boobs into the mix then Pete is 100% on board for this film. Shockingly, even with all the movie's faults, Charlie didn't hate it and that's a win in Pete's book. Please make sure to catch Erin's fantastic show every week on Manic Movie Monday.

Motorcycles, Monsters, and Masked Riders oh my!!! We had the honor of hosting the Master of Mayhem himself and Overlord Steelhorn’s FAVORITE Give Me Back Co-Host, Pete, in honor of “The Month of Pete”! 2023’s Shin Kamen Rider brings the classic character to a new audience with brutal force and over the top action! The costumes and creature effects take center stage with exciting action with powerful performances and some badass fight choreography. Strap in because things are gonna get real weird, real fast!

February has arrived and with it another MONTH OF PETE, the best month of the year since Pete gets to pick all the movies. As tradition, Pete has employed some backups to stave off the ire of Charlie and we welcome some of our bestest buddies in the whole crazy podcasting world, Steven and Leo of Spoils of Horror. Pete's action pick this year is Five Deadly Venoms (1978), the seminal pop culture phenomenon produced by the Shaw Brothers. Now, classic kung-fu isn't really Charlie's bag so it will be exciting to hear if it landed with him since most of February Pete picks tend to fall short or more accurately, plop off a rooftop in a stinky wet pile of goo. Uncultured swine. BTW, if you want to understand Pete's "bycocket" joke you'll need to listen to some of the early Spoils of Horror episodes. Which you should be doing anyways, we're just giving you extra incentive.

The final movie for Charlie's "Make You See Red" birthday month is here. The guys follow Ivan (Arnold Schwarzenegger) on his mission from Mother Russia to the mean streets of Chicago to take down a drug lord. We talk about how Russians aren't all bad and that we all agree that this movie is part of the Blues Brothers multiverse!

The horror side of the podcast kicks off with a film that put Jamie Lee Curtis on the map. She owes her entire career to this one single epic movie that is beloved by all. Halloween? pfft boring. Trading Places? SNORE. No way. I'm talking about the Oscar winning treasure from 1999: Virus. Wait, what? You've never heard of this movie? Well, you're in for a treat especially if your favorite kind of treat is a chocolate covered banana slug. Friends, this movie is bad, but Charlie and Pete ended up enjoying the heck out of its "badness." We definitely knocked it out of the park with this first horror episode of 2026.

We're not out of our minds, just out of bullets! Charlie's birthday month is coated in red and we're kicking it off with the most famous movie “Russian” of all time, DOLPH LUNGREN in 1988’s Red Scorpion! As Russian and Cuban forces slaughter innocent Africans, Lt. Nikolai Rachenko begins to realize he may just be one of the bad guys. After a “rocky” breakup with his countrymen, Nikolai goes on a journey to “punish” the oppressors with big guns, big explosions, and tiny shorts that fill the desert landscape with action! The comedic relief and pacing may leave us feeling indifferent, but the dangerous stunts and real African Bushmen leave us in awe of the authenticity!

Happy 2026 and welcome to a new look for the Give Me Back Podcast. Mickey from the B-Action podcast joins us for Charlie's first action pick of his birthday month and arguably the best Die Hard rip-off of all time, Sudden Death. If you think physics is stupid and logic is overrated, then this is your kind of film. While the film is insulting to anyone who's graduated from middle school, it is unquestionably entertaining and worth a spin. Give Me Back is thrilled to be back and looking to make 2026 the best year yet.

New year…same badass B-ACTION! We kick off 2026 with Cpt. Steve from Bucket of Chum as we cover a quintessential (big word, we know) B-ACTION movie…1983’s Deathstalker! This Sword and Sorcery classic hits all the high notes that make us happy: No holds barred violence, badass babes, a little touch of humor, and enough testosterone to grow your very own Charlie beard! Seriously, He-Man WISHES he was this manly. So join us to watch the giant battle hammer drop and ring in a BADASS New Year!
