Blood and Black Rum Podcast - A Cult Film / Horror Podcast

In our final episode, where we leave the West, we're tackling something a little different - a contemporary western, and one that adds some weirdness to the proceedings with Bone Tomahawk. This horror-tinged western stars the good man Kurt Russell as a sheriff bound to his duty to track down kidnapped townsfolk who might be eaten by the neighborly troglodytes. We talk about the influences, the suspense, and the potential sus-ness of S. Craig Zahler's debut film.We're also drinking Blue Barrel's New Fashioned Hard Root Beer!Red Hot Action Summer is over, but that means we're starting our Halloween season. We'll be back in September with our new event, running all Samhain long.

We continue our westward expansion with a look at Clint Eastwood's vehicle The Outlaw Josey Wales, a mid-70s American western directed by the actor which melds an revenge plot against the Union with... a libertarian ideal about starting your own community outside government rule? We talk about the interesting ideas at play in the film, the inclusion of a lot of spit, and a whole lot more! We're also drinking the new recipe Newcastle Brown Ale!Tune in all August as we continue Red Hot Action Summer!

Howdy folks! We're hitting the old dusty trail with Red Hot Action Summer: Westward Ho!, and we start it off with a banger from Sam Peckinpah (literally - there are a lot of squibs). We talk about this American western that follows a group of outlaws recognizing that their way of life needs to change, thanks to the exploits of the Mexican Revolution. We discuss the violence, the familiar themes, and even somehow get the Vietnam War in there.Listen in all August as we tackle American westerns in our Red Hot Action Summer!
