The Bad Movies Podcast

Keeping the J-Lo train going, this week we're talking about The Wedding Planner! Who knew that critics had such searing hatred for this seemingly innocuous rom-com? So, is Matthew McConaughey the one true and only dream boat? Are Rom-coms too predictable? How bad is my Italian accent? Find out the answers to all, and more, on this episode!

You may think that Anaconda is just a Jaws rehash in a tropical environment…and you would be right. But it has Owen Wilson and Jennifer Lopez, so how bad could it really be? Join us this week as we discuss whether or not accurate biology matters in filmmaking, how underrated Ice Cube is, and more!

The Uncharted series has long been hailed as the pinnacle of action adventure video games, but does that transition to film? This week, we aim to unpack our deep love of this franchise and try to make sense of some divisive critical reactions. This episode also features, perhaps, the most tangents of any episode of this show thus far! Which is…saying something. Enjoy!

For perhaps the 200th time, it would appear that a classic horror franchise is attempting a revitalization. And what do you know! It involves 'decanonizing' the countless sequels and making its own 'relevant timeline'. But don't worry, the title will give no indication of this shift. In fact, it's just going to have virtually the same title as the original. Because how could you get confused? If y...

0000012A 00000151 00002890 Having just finished the series Avatar: The Last Airbender, I decided to reward myself with the live action adaptation, The Last Airbender. And wow. What a time it was. I almost feel guilty speaking so passionately considering I am only a new fan to the series, but this was quite a lot to take. M Night Shyamalan is an absolute marvel, so whatever happened that made this...

I got the biggest video game nerds in the business to come together to review the new Resident Evil film. And, surprisingly, we had very different takes. Who was right? Who was wrong? Only one way to find out! 

This week, we received a request to review the illustrious 1987 masterpiece, Robot Holocaust. You know me, I'm not one to back away from a challenge, but I will admit that I did consider it. What can you expect from a movie aptly titled Robot Holocaust? Whatever you're picturing, that's basically what it is. Just throw in some sock puppets and you're there. Everyone is capable of good work, as we...

Back in the erratic time of 2001, Hollywood was nervous about a few things. Turns out that chief among them was actually outsourcing professional actors to animated replicants! In comes Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, a largely inoffensive science fiction adventure that actually caused quite a stir. So were critics divided on the movie itself, or were they scared of the future of the industry i...

Now on the back half of 50, we're just excited to still be here! Cue George of the Jungle. A movie I had blocked out from my early childhood after rendering it as 'Tarzan but with no fun songs'. Fortunately, my guest this week had a proper affinity for this Disney classic(?) so there was plenty to discuss. How outrageously detached from reality is too outrageously detached from reality? George of...

It's been a dream of this show to have people on who actually worked on the movie in question, and today we have fulfilled that dream! Our guests this week have ACTUAL insight into the making of Planet of the Apes. We talk shop, get to the bottom of some long held rumors, and as always we review the film which in this case proves to be an ambitious undertaking. Please enjoy! And check out Skid's p...

The first movie of 2022 may seem to be a bit of a random choice, but it was suggested to us by our near and dear Shelby Arnold! The Air I Breathe is an interesting one. It's a little bit Crash and a little bit A Sharks Tale(!), and if that sounds interesting to you then you must not know about the Singing In The Rain death scene which simply must be seen to be believed. Please enjoy this episode!...

New Year's Eve is a relic of the early 2010's, a time so mired by Hollywood desperately clawing for your attention that it almost seems like a fever dream. So why not throw every single dollar available to getting the cast of your dreams? Please enjoy this episode because we sure did enjoy making it. And if I don't talk to you before then, please have a great rest of 2021. See you in 2022    Socia...

As far as evangelical Christmas films go, I'm willing to halt proceedings and give this one the crown. Saving Christmas is not the worst film ever made, but it may perhaps be the most baffling. Come for the odd logic leaps, stay for the hip hop dance sequence. If this review is even half as entertaining as this film, I will consider it a resounding success. Enjoy, and Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas to you, random personality that has stumbled upon this episode of BMP! And what a Christmas it is where I get to celebrate by watching this Oscar worthy classic! Last week, I got to share my favorite guilty pleasure with the world. So it seems only fair to share EVERYONE'S favorite guilty pleasure this week. This movie is unfathomable. Seriously. They had Arnold Schwarzenegger punc...

Thankskilling 3 is the ambitious sequel to a film about a killer turkey. Puppets, space worms, zombie turkeys, a rapping grandma, and a vortex coming out of a robot's butt. What more can you ask for in a sequel? 

The first MCU movie to land a 'rotten' score on Rotten Tomatoes helmed by 2020's Best Director Oscar Winner Chloe Zhao! Who would have thought? The question remains: are the critics right? Has the MCU finally given the last remaining fans superhero fatigue? Tune in to find out! (Apologies for another super horny episode of BMP, but also I'm not that sorry)

Prepare yourself for next week...

Hot off a best picture win for Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, New Line Cinema releases…Raise Your Voice! A Hillary Duff Christian dramedy to promote her new album. The early 2000's were a weird time. As is evident in the costuming for this movie.

A new personal favorite episode for this podcast, Ravenous has long been the movie to haunt my dreams. So, it would seem only fitting to release a Halloween episode featuring the film. I don't normally spoil the episode in the description, but this movie should be required viewing for anyone looking for something unnerving. It's worth your time.     www.patreon.com/badmoviescast

Nothing says spooky like the Fantastic Four film adaptations! This week, we're bringing you a particularly revelatory episode where we talk about Reddit, sexual innuendos involving elasticity, and (of course) Maria Menounos! One of my personal favorites to date, truly.

This Spook Season, the Bad Movies Podcast has decided to rank and review the Paranormal Activity franchise on our patreon page. But if you have no bucks to spare, no fear! Because today I reviewed Paranormal Activity 4 to give everyone a taste of what we can expect. Enjoy me talking about how I would happily punch the spooky kid in the face for an hour and a half.

Dear Evan Hansen was a highly acclaimed musical, winning six Tony's out of nine total nominations. So why then was the film adaptation so critically divisive? This week we try to unpack what people on both sides of the aisle may be missing in Dear Evan Hansen. We also talk about implications in writing and spend A LOT of time trying to decipher what the hell the theme of this film is versus what i...

National Security may have passed you by in 2003, but it didn't keep us from wanting to give it a quick revisit. This buddy cop comedy features Steve Zahn with a top ten movie mustache, a top 5 movie buzz cut, and a top 3 movie forehead vein. So, what's not to love? Is it deserving of an 11 on Rotten Tomatoes? Let's find out. Inside jokes of this episode include but are not limited to: partner (sp...

I had to BUY, physically BUY, Super Mario Bros on DVD for this review. If that doesn't say the lengths at which I will go for this podcast, I don't know what does. This film is an absolute anomaly. How it got made, how it exists in this universe, all of it escapes me. It's a movie I truly didn't even know existed until it was kindly recommended to me on Twitter, and WOW I'm so glad it was. Not onl...
