    Episode 132: BLACK DEVIL DOLL FROM HELL (1984)
    Mar 22 2024
    It's the first No-Budget Nightmares episode of 2024! And.. it's March! OOPS! Anyway, we're back with a long-requested SOV film from auteur Chester Novell Turner (director of NBN classic TALES FROM THE QUADEAD ZONE). This one features a highly religious (and very repressed) woman turning to the dark side after a sexual encounter from a puppet. We've all been there! Featuring: THAT PUPPET, misogyny, ear-piercing audio, muffled sermons and SO MUCH MORE. Enjoy !

  • EPISODE 131: CAPTAIN COSMOTIC (1998)

    EPISODE 131: CAPTAIN COSMOTIC (1998)
    Dec 19 2023
    It's been a long (long!) time coming but the German superhero parody (with a hint of splatstick) CAPTAIN COSMOTIC has finally arrived on No-Budget Nightmares! Since viewers don't have easy access to the film (and it's even harder to find subs), we go DEEP on this weird little number, hence a runtime an hour longer than the film we're discussing. OOPS! But thankfully you'll get plenty of incomprehensible German (from the film AND the hosts), a devilishly catchy theme song and an announcement of the subject of our next episode.. AND IT'S A BIG ONE. Listen and learn.

    EPISODE 130: BLOOD AND STEEL (1990)
    Sep 8 2023
    HOT DAMN! No-Budget Nightmares returns.. AGAIN?! It feels like only a month ago when NBN returned from its THREE YEAR hiatus to J all over your Bs with meaty podcasting action, and now THE BOYS are back again, this time goofin' and grinnin' with the 1990 Buffalo-shot martial arts masterpiece BLOOD AND STEEL, written by, directed by and starring safe-cracker/bad-ass Mark Swetland! It's full of kicking and punching and nunchucks and throwing stars and just the most amazing accents you'll ever hear. In fact, I'm going to stop writing this summary and go watch it again RIGHT NOW!  Note: The film features some moments of sexual threat which, while extremely goofy in context, might cause some listeners distress. When you hear the sound clip of one of the thugs pouring a beer into a purse, feel free to skip ahead ten minutes or so. Sorry!

    EPISODE 129: ZILLAFOOT (2019)
    Jul 26 2023
    After three long years we're free! TIME TO CONQUER EARTH! Yes - improbably - it's the return of No-Budget Nightmares! Since March, 2020 the podcast has been laying in wait, but we're back to insert ourselves once again into the overcrowded world of low-budget film podcastery! All your favorites are back: Moe! Doug! Yawning! Creaky chair sounds! Audio clips! Too-long run times! And we've returned with a BANG, covering Anthony Polonia's kaiju (or is that kiaju?) comedy ZILLAFOOT from (the year of our lord) 2019. With a sub-Suburban Sasquatch monster suit and an ending that threatens to break Moe's brain, it has everything you could want out of a NBN subject. Listen and tell your friends, you FIENDS!

  • EPISODE 128: CLOWNADO COMMENTARY

    EPISODE 128: CLOWNADO COMMENTARY
    Jul 21 2022
    Miss us? NO-BUDGET NIGHTMARES has - as you may have noticed - been taking an extended break during the ongoing end of the world, but we miss all of you SO much so we decided to release something special. A couple of years back the legendary Todd Sheets asked Moe and Doug to provide a commentary for the Blu-Ray release of his horror-comedy CLOWNADO. Neither of us ended up seeing a copy in the wild, but it was reported back to us that they DO exist. Either way, we figured enough time has passed at this point that even people who don't own a CLOWNADO Blu-Ray deserve to hear our lovely voices talk for 90 minutes about clowns and tornados and how they intersect. It may not be a new episode, but it's the NEXT BEST THING. Enjoy!

    EPISODE 127: LISTENER SPECIAL
    Mar 10 2020
    Your no-budget pals Moe and Doug have been at this since 2011, so we figured it's about time to let our listeners get a word in. On this VERY SPECIAL episode of No-Budget Nightmares we have letters and audio clips from our listeners, who are eager(?) to ask questions, make comments, and to reinforce why it's probably best to leave this to the professionals (does anyone know any?). It could be a disaster, but there's only one way to know for sure. Let's listen!

This time we're looking at the most polished of the bunch with PLAGA ZOMBIE: ZONA MUTANTE: REVOLUCION TOXICA (2011), which sees the return of Max Giggs, Bill Johnson and our beloved John West, who do battles with zombies, aliens and zombie aliens in a desperate attempt to save the world! Along the way we get blood, gore, friendship, pantomime birth, and the musical number to end all musical numbers. JOIN US.

    EPISODE 125: RISE OF THE ANIMALS (2011)
    Dec 18 2019
    On episode 125 of No-Budget Nightmares it's the apocalypse.. AGAIN! This time the animals have risen up to take out humanity, and we have an intrepid (and very cold looking) trio making their way across Rochester, New York to deliver a cell phone. On the way, there's rabbit attacks, squirrel attacks, gorilla attacks, turtle attacks and SO MANY MORE ATTACKS. It's RISE OF THE ANIMALS and it's a) fun as hell and b) only an hour long. WHAT A CONCEPT! TAKE DRUGS AND LISTEN.
