No-Budget Nightmares

Grab your throwing stars and nun-chucks and head to the cemetery for a knock-down, drag-out brawl with episode 33 of the NO-BUDGET NIGHTMARES PODCAST featuring Jim Van Bebber’s cult classic DEADBEAT AT DAWN. Your intrepid hosts Moe Porne and Doug “Sweetback” Tilley take to the mean streets of Dayton, Ohio and find a near apocalyptic hell-hole of nastiness, where gangs rule the streets and the only way to survive is to RUN LIKE HELL. It’s messy, violent and OH SO AWESOME, so dive in while we make one last big score.

Todd Sheets. TODD SHEETS. If you had told us all the way back in Episode #5 that less than 30 episodes later MOE PORNE and DOUG “SWEETBACK” TILLEY would be talking to the man himself, they would have called you a liar. A scoundrel. A miscreant. Yet, here we are not only featuring a film he’s actively disowned (1993′s GOBLIN), but also featuring an interview with the MASTER OF SPLATTER TODD SHEETS! Yeah, this is a big one, so call your parents (adopted or otherwise) and get them to listen as Todd dishes the dirt, peels back the layers and gives a VERY SPECIAL announcement about his upcoming film house of forbidden secrets. All here and more on.. NO-BUDGET NIGHTMARES.

You could have a steam train, if you’d just lay down your track. Or you could have a SLEDGEHAMMER to the freakin’ SKULL! No, it’s not Peter Gabriel, it’s David DEADLY PREY Prior’s early 80s shot-on-video horror classic SLEDGEHAMMER! Packed to the gills with thoroughly reprehensible (and stupid!) characters, Prior has his cast maneuver the halls of his apartment while avoiding a shape changing, invincible, sledgehammer-wielding, mask-wearing MANIAC! LISTEN to your hosts MOE PORNE and DOUG “SWEETBACK” TILLEY guffaw at the glorious gobs of gore, and ENJOY their mirth towards the macho meatheads who treat their girlfriends alternately horribly and offensively. I’m your sledgehammer! Let there be no doubt about it

OUR LONG NATIONAL NIGHTMARE IS OVER! No-Budget Nightmares returns with its 30th episode anniversary spectacular, and you’ve never heard ANYTHING like it. We have listener mail, recorded messages from some of our favorite film-makers, interviews with Oliver Assiran & Les Norris (directors of GORNO: AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY), David Sitbon (who appeared in SUBURBAN SASQUATCH and ANTFARM DICKHOLE), Jim Bultas (director of ROCK N’ ROLL SPACE PATROL ACTION IS GO) and Deric Bernier (who appeared in NIGHTMARE ASYLUM and ZOMBIE RAMPAGE) and hosts Moe Porne and Doug Tilley go over their favorite and least favorite moments and films. Stay tuned for some SPECIAL SONGS, and surprises! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? TELL YOUR FRIENDS!!

You’ve never seen anything like SCIENCE CRAZED. That’s both a threat AND a promise. A Canuxploitation classic of the highest (lowest?) order, NO-BUDGET NIGHTMARES hosts Moe Porne and Doug “Sweetback” Tilley can make neither head nor tail of the bizarre pacing, strange dubbing and downright BIZARRE qualities that make up Ron Switzer’s Canadian wonder. It deserves your love, respect and FEAR. Join the cult of SCIENCE CRAZED.

You like vomit, right? No? Well, thrash metal legend Lance Ozanix LOVES vomit. And in 1991 he decided to turn his unique ability to vomit on command into a 40 minute, blasphemous spectacular! HOLY MOLY features finger snippings, demon horns, neon ray-bans and is as ugly as it is entertaining (which is a LOT). Your podcast pals Moe Porne and Doug Tilley dive deep into the netherworld, and come up with delicious bite-sized morsels of fun and frivalty. Take a ride on the NBN freight train, if you WILL.

Move over Herbert West, EDGAR ALLAN LOVECRAFT (seriously) is here! Full of more panty-headed partiers than you can shake a syringe of “reanimating serum” at, REANIMATOR ACADEMY is an aquarium of laughs that features a smattering of gangsters, a gaggle of decapitations, and prostitutes by the bucketful! If you listen carefully you can hear hosts Moe Porne and Doug “Sweetback” Tilley slowly lose their minds (and heads!), before eventually finding serenity in the sweet embrace of death. PLUS Another chapter in the mysterious REDNECK COUNTY FEVER saga! ALL THIS AND MORE!

GREETINGS, TRUE BELIEVERS! This week we have a film from GERMANY, or – I should say – GOREMANY, because this episode is jam packed with organ meat, decapitations and TEETH DRILLING. Splatmaster Olaf Ittenbach cut his teeth (HA!) as a dental technician before churning out some of the nastiest low-budget violence that Deutschland has to offer, and he started his career making nihilistic shot-on-video nonsense like 1997′s THE BURNING MOON. Listen to Moe Porne and Doug Till-E-y fumble their way through the their first international feature – and there’s listener feedback, too! EXCELSIOR!

Stop your grinnin’ and drop your linen, because it’s time for Mike Stanley’s immortal (GET IT) DEAD IS DEAD, starring the bearded, bowl-mulleted auteur as the hunky lead. THRILL! as Moe Porne and Doug “Sweetback” Tilley try to unravel the ancient mysteries of who these people are, and what the heck they are doing. And what’s up with those mutants?! If the leaden, awful dialogue doesn’t get you, the incomprehensible editing certainly will, and it’s all on (audio) display on the latest NO-BUDGET NIGHTMARES PODCAST.

Pull out your cleaver and slap on some greasepaint, because it’s time to dive headfirst into 1985′s BLOOD CULT, which is notable as (not quite) the first straight-to-video feature film – and not notable for anything else! Featuring a septuagenarian hero, DOG MURDER, exciting driving music, DUMMY MURDER, and the geekiest love interest since REVENGE OF THE NERDS, BLOOD CULT is a nasty bit of video violence; and is greedily lapped up by your hosts Moe Porne and Doug “Sweetback” Tilley. We make learning fun!
