On our second episode, Connor brings us his 80s pick, the lesser-known 80s comedy VOLUNTEERS starring Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, and John Candy as Tom Tuttle from Tacoma, WA.

This week, we discuss the 2017 comedy ROUGH NIGHT, which came and went for reasons unknown. What is comedy? What is art? Can a movie still be a comedy if nobody is laughing? Check out this week's show to find out. Recorded November 2024 Hosted by Colton Jenkins and Connor Bridges Subscribe on Spotify and Apple Podcasts!

This week, we delve into the endless run of Disney Channel original movies, or DCOMs as they're called, starting with 2006's WENDY WU: HOMECOMING WARRIOR. It's a terrible kung fu movie for kids that has aged like cheese. Recorded November 2024 Hosted by Colton Jenkins and Connor Bridges Subscribe on Spotify and Apple Podcasts!

This week, we discuss the much-maligned finale of David Gordon Green's divisive trilogy, 2022's HALLOWEEN ENDS. Why did Green decide to largely sideline Michael Myers from his, to date, last movie?

This week, we dig into one of the most hated slasher films of all time, 1993's JASON GOES TO HELL: THE FINAL FRIDAY. It's the ninth entry in the franchise, and even the most dedicated Jason Voorhees fans despise this one. What sets it apart from 11 other, admittedly not great, movies? Recorded October 2024 Hosted by Colton Jenkins and Connor Bridges Subscribe on Spotify and Apple Podcasts!...

This week, we discuss the underwhelming 2023 horror legacy sequel THE EXORCIST: BELIEVER, which was so hated by fans that David Gordon Green's planned sequels were immediately cancelled and another reboot is now planned.

This week, we look into the admittedly terrible and weird 2003 family comedy THE CAT IN THE HAT, a film that Mike Myers starred in against his will and ensured we would never see another live-action Dr. Seuss film again.

This week, we take on a true oddball in every sense of the word, 2009's GENTLEMEN BRONCOS, a film about the bizarre nature of fiction writing and how easy it can be to get plagiarized.

This week, we bob and weave as we talk the 1990 letdown ROCKY V. It killed the franchise for 16 years, but it has its own streetwise charm that can't be denied. Hear our thoughts on a film that even Sylvester Stallone himself has disavowed. Recorded September 2024 Hosted by Colton Jenkins and Connor Bridges Subscribe on Spotify and Apple Podcasts!

This week, we discuss the dangers of Scientology and the fall of John Travolta with the 2000 disaster BATTLEFIELD EARTH, one of the worst movies of all time.

This week, we discuss a terrible kids action movie from 2003, AGENT CODY BANKS. How does a film this lukewarm get made? Why are Ian McShane, Keith David, Darrell Hammond, and Arnold Vosloo in this movie? Remember being a kid in the 2000s? Answers to all this and more.

How does a guaranteed billion-dollar hit underperform and drag three of DC Comics' most beloved icons down with it?

Live-action cartoons rarely work, and 1999's INSPECTOR GADGET is among the most reviled. How does Matthew Broderick beat out a lineup of Hollywood's most likable actors to play a kiddie RoboCop with zero charisma? Listen and find out!

Horror remakes are remarkably divisive, and few have angered fans more than the 2010 remake of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET. Starring Oscar nominee Jackie Earle Haley as an updated Freddy Krueger, this remake was a financial success but killed the franchise indefinitely. How does that happen?

Taking on the Bond franchise can sometimes be low-hanging fruit, especially when you've got invisible cars, race-changing operations, and so many diamonds. We take on 2002's DIE ANOTHER DAY, Brosnan's critically-reviled final outing. Apologies for the poor audio quality. That's what happens when you forget to bring a mic to the recording. Recorded June 2024 Hosted by Connor Bridges...

Beyond the Bad is back! It's been a while since we eviscerated a critically-reviled disaster, and what better film to celebrate a comeback than the 1998 American take on GODZILLA? We'll discuss the deal with Toho that fell apart, Roland Emmerich's dislike of the franchise, and the ripple effect that the film's failure had on other films. Recorded June 2024 Hosted by Connor Bridges...

This week, we tackle the 1996 cult classic black comedy THE CABLE GUY, which showed the world a whole new side of Jim Carrey that audiences simply weren't ready for. We briefly discuss the origins of cable television, some of our creepiest encounters with our fellow man, and the glory of Medieval Times. Recorded July 2024 Hosted by Connor Bridges and Colton Jenkins Subscribe on Spotify and App...

This week, we go back to bleak, dystopian sci-fi with the 2007 thriller SUNSHINE, a film with a brilliant cast, a great concept, and some disturbing visuals brought on by the majesty of the sun.

This week, we discuss the delightful, hilarious, and super 2000s family comedy SCOOBY-DOO. Why did critics hate it so much? Why have fans largely reclaimed it as a cult classic? Let's find out.

This week, in an uncharacteristically dark episode, we discuss the 2009 sci-fi thriller KNOWING, as well as high-concept topics like faith, suicide, Nicolas Cage, and the end of the world.
