B-Movie Mania

Paul, J, and Mike host B-Movie Mania, a bi-monthly review podcast with the tagline "where low budgets meet high praise." The show has 301 episodes dating back to 2017, a 4.4-star rating, and a genuine love for obscure movies that most people will never hear about outside this podcast. These are not mainstream bad movies -- the hosts seek out truly deep cuts from the fringes of cinema. The format mixes full-length reviews that can run anywhere from 22 to 80-plus minutes with shorter Quick Takes episodes for faster coverage. Special episodes pop up around holidays -- Halloween and Thanksgiving specials are recurring traditions. There are also bonus teaser episodes that come with drinking rules for when you watch the movie yourself, which is a fun touch. Occasional guest appearances keep the roster fresh. The hosts have a loose, enthusiastic energy and clearly enjoy each other's company. Mike is a fan favorite based on listener reviews. They also organize an annual B-Movie Marathon event, which speaks to the community they have built around the show. The website at bmoviemania.com serves as a hub for the extended content. If you have exhausted the well-known bad movies and want a podcast that consistently surfaces films you have never heard of, B-Movie Mania specializes in exactly that kind of discovery.
