Episode Twenty: 30 Days of Ultimatums Shoot RomZombie

It's the first BITD edited on the BITD Central HQ's new computer! Pity it focuses on some frustrating films that The Boys Outta Brooklyn saw from August to October of 2007. Sure, Derrick raves about Shoot 'Em Up, but then Tom tries to figure out why 30 Days of Night doesn't thrill him, Derrick bitches about the use of caffeine-cam in The Bourne Ultimatum and both do an intervention for Rob Zombie and his white trash obsessions! There's only one way to feel our wrath...and that's by clicking like your life depends on it!

Episode Twenty-Six: Not A Dream! Not A Hoax! This Really Is The LAST Marvel At The Movies


Close to a year ago, The Guys From Brooklyn began a critical survey of every Marvel movie ever made. And now we wrap it all up by covering what's left. From the movie serial version of CAPTAIN AMERICA to the amazingly bad films made from the output of one of our heroes, the late Steve Gerber (to whose memory this episode is dedicated), we turn out the lights and sweep up until there is no stone untold in the cinematic history of Marvel Comics. Plus Derrick reveals the two films he fell asleep in front of, Tom has little love for Triple H (and certain members of our fan base) and both men go insane over the upcoming IRON MAN movie! We're pulling into the driveway, folks, so you know you have to get to clicking!

In a slight change of pace, The Guys Outta Brooklyn talk about some films that they'd like to see remade--either because they weren't very good, like DOC SAVAGE, or because the time is right for an updated version, like OUR MAN FLINT. We also dispute the facts in the case of Billy Zane's gut, commiserate with Wesley Snipes' fate, and tear Frank Spotnitz a new one for his horrible remake of KOLCHAK: THE NIGHT STALKER. It's a trip down memory lane, so don't forget to click right here!

Episode Thirty Five: The Twilight Joys of Vincent Price

The Boys From Brooklyn share their love of one of the great horror actors of all time (not to mention actor, period) by looking at the seven films that comprise The MGM Screen Icon Set for Vincent Price! From the stultifying boredom that is TWICE TOLD TALES to the sheer bleak hardcore genius of THE WITCHFINDER GENERAL, Tom and Derrick discuss the last true horror films of Price's career. Plus we give our props to the greatest theological serial killer of all time, Dr. Phibes--and try to find out what happened to his super-sexy assistant Virginia 'Vulnavia' North, show reverence towards the late British director Michael Reeves and review a film neither man knew existed prior to the release of this set. It's a celebration of a true American talent--so click on, Macduff!
