The Bad Movies Podcast

A very special and unique episode for BMP listeners: our Fourth Annual Spooktacular! For the past few years, our Spooktacular specials have existed solely for Patreon supporters. But today, all fans of BMP can now witness the glorious nonsense of spook season. The episode format is a bit different from what you may be used to as me and my guest take the entire Final Destination series and rank and...

It's spooky season which can only mean one thing: it's time to bring out the killer sloths! (Yes, you read that right)

The question that auteurs have longed to answer: do we dare to make a movie that mashes beavers and zombies? Well…some brave filmmakers have finally dared…

Leave it to Wonder Woman to be the centerpiece of the most highly anticipated film to release in 2020. Ending the year of shenanigans with a glimmer of hope, director and creator Patty Jenkins opted to grant us all a wish to finally see the sequel to her DCEU blockbuster. But something about the critical air surrounding this sequel was giving off a different vibe. So I decided to investigate. What...

I won't linger long on an episode description. The nation is grieving right now, and I only hope that this podcast can offer a little respite from the hardships of the world. Top Gun is now heralded as an 80's classic, but apparently it wasn't always that beloved. So who was right? Did Top Gun endure only because of American nostalgia? Or is it truly a masterwork? This week, we're going to find ou...

Sometimes when you re-evaluate a childhood favorite, you find that the nostalgia is not enough to compensate for the film itself. But sometimes when you go back you realize that the greats are still great even if they were critically underappreciated. Such is the case with The Girl Next Door, a wildly underrated teen comedy that deserves more appreciation.   

Since aliens are in the news. I thought it may be appropriate to revisit a modern alien-related classic. The Fourth Kind has an interesting take on 'documentary' filmmaking, but was that to its deficit? Only one way for us to find out.

The Meg came out last year, and it features the largest on screen shark to date alongside Jason Statham in a wetsuit. I won't sell you on it, but I will inform you that Jason Statham kicks the megalodon in the face. If that's not a film viewers bucket list item for you, I don't know what is. It should be noted that The Meg is not exactly going to qualify for The Oscars (inherently its premise sort...

Billy Madison was a childhood classic for me which makes it all the more rewarding to rediscover its majesty for this podcast. Adam Sandler has always been a star. And it's nice to remind ourselves why. It's time to put some respect on the movie that essentially founded Happy Madison productions!

We're so sorry for this. Listener discretion advised.  Grant's social: Twitter: @HiGrantCrawford Insta / Tik Tok: @grantdavidcrawford

I'm sorry. Birdemic broke me.   

Who wouldn't want to see Adam Driver face off against a slew of dinosaurs in the prehistoric ages?   

I mean...I mean it's the second one. I'm sorry. I had to. I'm sorry that you have to now too.  Twitter: @HiGrantCrawford Instagram: @grantdavidcrawford

Some time ago, I had to purchase a physical disk of Super Mario Bros, the film from 1993, just so we could review it on this show (because streaming services are scum sometimes). Now, we return with the brand new 2023 film, licensed by Nintendo, the billion dollar grossing: The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Time to find out if the film was up to the task of taking on this beloved franchise! Featuring:...

This week, we're taking a trip to the 100 Acre Woods to visit an old friend…who has become feral! Winnie the Pooh is now public domain, so we can get used to some more craziness like this, I suppose. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? We'll leave it for you to decide. Guest: Grant David Crawford @grantdavidcrawford

There's not much to say really. I watched this film as a kid and remember thinking it made me feel gross. So I never watched it again. Until now. And now, at the ripe age of 22, I feel exactly the same as I did when I was a child. The Master of Disguise is the most misguided excuse for a movie I've ever seen. It's so unfortunate that this movie squanders the potential of several significantly tale...

The people have spoken! And they want Nic Cage as Dracula! Renfield has come to deliver! Now, it's time for us to analyze it and see if these filmmakers made good on their promise. Enjoy!

In honor of the recent NFL draft, I figured it was appropriate to revisit the Kevin Costner classic, Draft Day. Naturally, as with most reviews on this podcast, chaos ensued as I spiraled into a tirade. Enjoy!

Never in my life have I seen more abs, sweat, and blood. 300 belongs in a CrossFit museum. Better yet a CrossFit cathedral where they can pay homage to their patron saint Leonidas. By all rights, 300 should be laughably horrible. But it's not. In fact, it has quite a lot of admirable qualities beyond its chiseled exterior. Zack Snyder is an ambitious visionary, so it was nice to finally be able to...

The fine gentlemen that I grew up playing DnD with helped me to review the Dungeons and Dragons movie from 2000! The results were about what you'd expect Featuring: Matt Robertson Ryan O'Dell Zach Herman  

Cocaine Bear gets tremendous props from me for focusing mainstream, Hollywood attention on a B-Movie slasher/comedy. But, that's not why you're here. You're here because you want to know if the bear that does a bunch of cocaine kills people. And you're here because you want to know if that makes it a good movie. And I'm here to hopefully try to answer those questions…enjoy!

After literally years, I've finally managed to get my brother on this podcast. And of ALL the movies this New Orleanite could've chosen, he had the audacity to ask ME to review Batman & Robin with him. So here we are. Talking about a 2 hour movie for nearly 2 hours. Ever since recording, I've been waking up with cold sweats reminded of things we forgot to mention. Like the green screen backdrops b...

As an MCU fan, a Taika Waititi fan, a Chris Hemsworth fan, a Christian Bale fan, a Natalie Portman fan, a Tessa Thompson FAN, a superhero movie fan, a fan of space operas, and a fan of Guns and Roses, I'm ashamed to say that it took me a little too long to watch Thor 4. But here we are! Ready and eager to give everyone a new review! And not get distracted by how beautiful Tessa Thompson is…  

Michael Bay is a divisive character which makes him the perfect focal point for this podcast! We've conquered the Transformer films before, we've revisited Bad Boys, but how does Bay's most recent work hold up?

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...
