Great Bad Movies

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. In a very special episode of Great Bad Movies, our incredible editor Sam picks our movie, and then plants the idea in our dreams. So now we think it was our idea. (He did that by invoking our relationships with our fathers. It's a whole thing.) While Greg and Joe both think this is one of Christopher Nolan's best movies, it is not without some asterisks. Hence: A perfect movie fo...

On a very special "Joe's Pick" episode of Great Bad Movies, we grab our white-rimmed sunglasses and head to Tokyo for 2021's Kate, with the always amazing Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Woody Harrelson. There's a lot to say about his movie, but most importantly you should know that David Leitch produced it, and that's why it's immediately on our list 😀 Joe and Greg break it down, laugh a lot, and le...

To celebrate Isaac Slade of the Fray's new solo career (and Greg's opening spot at his first solo show,) Isaac joins Greg and Joe to discuss what he calls "one of the best movies he's ever seen." Which, it goes without saying, makes him the perfect guest for Great Bad Movies. This episode has it all: Isaac hearing Bruce Willis' music for the first time, a henchman who looks exactly like Chris Mart...

This week on Really Entertaining A-list B-movies: Bob Odenkirk (w/ Resting Chuck Norris Face) is an unremarkable family man—or so everyone thinks. After a home invasion leaves him humiliated, his buried skills as a lethal former government operative resurface with a vengeance. What follows is a bone-crunching, darkly funny rampage through the criminal underworld, featuring stolen kitty bracelets,...

Keanu Reeves (“Jeff,” from Paula Abdul’s Rush Rush video) stars in Point Break , a film masquerading as action cinema but in truth a haunting meditation on identity, lawlessness, and the futility of resisting the ocean’s will. (Or at least we assume Werner Herzog would describe it that way.) Johnny Utah, a former quarterback now shackled to bureaucracy, descends into the chaotic underworld of surf...

What happens when you give $70M to incredibly thoughtful people who want to make a big action movie? One host says something almost entirely great. The other has… Some thoughts 🙂. It's time for Joe and Greg to have the conversation that needed to happen about The Old Guard.  Subscribe to Great Bad Movies wherever you listen to podcasts More Great Bad Movies online: Instagram Great Bad Movies...

Stuffed with whatever you call the opposite of explanation, Tenet is one of the biggest and best movies of our time by one of our biggest and best filmmakers alive. Is it kind of heartless? Does Sir Michael Caine forget his usual Nolan exposition duties? Is it great and bad? Now is the time for this conversation.

Greg & Joe scrap their episode plans to immediately react to the 8th Mission:Impossible movie. It's the conversation that needed to happen about a movie 1.5 weeks old... That's about 30 years newer than the typical Great Bad Movie® 😀 Subscribe to Great Bad Movies wherever you listen to podcasts More Great Bad Movies online: Instagram Great Bad Movies Website YouTube Email us at greatbadmovies...

The very conversation that needed a 2nd part, Greg & Joe's discussion of the 7th Mission:Impossible film might be considered treason. Nothing could be more exciting than a new Mission:Impossible movie coming out this week, so it was time to do a deep dive on the previous film, Dead Reckoning Part 1.

W hat if Jason Bourne was also TurboTax?  Ben Affleck is an autistic math savant who moonlights as a lethal assassin and part-time financial consultant for warlords. And you know what? One of the hosts of this show loves this movie.  Secret trailer arsenals? Check. Hidden identities? Double check. Anna Kendrick showing up to save the movie? Triple check with a spreadsheet. This is peak G...

30 years later, it hasn't aged a day! (Just kidding.) If you can get past Janice to join us for this episode, and that’s a BIG if… Greg and Joe’s conversation will feel a lot like your missions in Cairo: A cake walk, thanks to the training. So hop on your horse, walk it into an elevator, and get on our level 😀 It’s time for you to start lying to your spouse, and then tell them the truth, so that...

We’re celebrating our 1st anniversary with the turbo-charged, melodrama-soaked, gravity-defying classic that redefined what a Great Bad Movie truly is. Fast Five is the Citizen Kane of car-based heist movies.  We saved this one for a special occasion, because Fast Five isn’t just any movie — it’s a beautifully chaotic mix of telenovela-level emotional showdowns, dialogue that sounds philosoph...

We are joined by our inaugural guest, the hilarious  Scott Erickson  to discuss a fake movie about a billionaire who uses his money to pursue his selfish goals. Not really a thing that happens IRL. We’ll dive into the real questions: What ice cream does Joe spare no expense on? Should Neapolitan ice cream be equally chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry? How has Jeff Goldblum somehow made s...

Dev Patel woke up and chose absolute (heartbreaking) chaos, directing himself in a revenge thriller that's basically "John Wick meets Indian mythology but more SAD and ANGRY." This masterpiece has Patel literally wearing a gorilla mask to get repeatedly beaten in underground fight clubs for money before transforming into a one-man apocalypse against corrupt elites.  But what makes this cinema...

It’s time to celebrate the heroes at the Bio-Cover Unit, and make fun of families who bizarrely graze each other’s faces with their fingers.  Joe decides if loving this movie is wrong, he doesn’t want to be right. Greg has divisive, controversial takes on John Travolta and Boat Chases, and an unfettered love of loud fabrics and BOOM SHOES.  This episode is dedicated in loving memory to A...

Tom Cruise refuses to age or stop being the main character of reality itself. He can’t stop, because he has to train a bunch of beautiful people to fly into a weirdly specific trench run that's totally not the Death Star. This is cinema at its most perfectly ridiculous and ridiculously perfect. What elevation is the hard deck right now? Is that the biggest American flag ever made in their sta...

Can we have fun? David Leitch says YESSSS. Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham spend two hours trading kindergarten-level insults about each other's height and baldness while saving the world from a techno-virus and Super Smart Idris Elba. Being a Fast & Furious movie, we obviously have FAMILY with Venessa Kirby and Helen Mirren… So we’re now up to 5 perfect people to cast in a movie. Sprinkle in...

We’re celebrating John-uary with a puppy-avenging assassin who’s also the emotional victim of car theft. Keanu Reaves has to return to a luxury murder hotel to drop some gold coins (Chuck E. Cheese-style) again. Keanu called his favorite stunt guys, David Leitch and Chad Stahelski, who say they’ll only do the stunts if they can also direct for the first time. You know what all that makes...

A heartwarming story about redemption and drapery, with great performances, direction, story, action, and um.... Did you know there was a 6th Terminator movie? A lot of people don't. It was a proper sequel to T2, and it was incredible. 5 years ago, critics and audiences alike praised this movie, but... It doesn't seem to exist anymore. That all changes here and now. Mackenzie Davis, Nata...

Joe and Greg laugh harder than they ever have discussing a basically perfect movie: Incredible action scenes, fantastic performances, and maybe no script? This is the shortest and potentially most entertaining James Bond movie, except for the other ones that are much, much better.  And listen… Sometimes the conversation that needs to be had takes a while. In this case 40 minutes longer t...

Celebrate the season with the second best Christmas movie, where parking tickets are a slippery slope to fighting terrorists. Die Hard 2 confirms John McClane only fights crime on holidays, and it has everything you could possibly need: A great (constantly yelling) cast, bad guys and good guys who don’t want John McClane around, a brief one-on-one with someone named Telford, louder than normal gun...

Prepare to ditch whatever you’re doing so we can talk about PLANE, which is a movie about a plane.  Before we go on…. You should probably ask all the lawyers to leave the room.   Greg and Joe discuss Gerard Butler’s commitment, their love of situation rooms, and what they’d do if their cell phone died (don’t worry, it makes sense). Long story short, we’re pretty sure the avioni...

This week on Formulaic Bish-Bosh, the MCU and GBU (Great Bad Universe) crossover episode is finally here. Greg and Joe have the conversation that needed to happen about our greatest actors, producers, and second unit directors, who team up to make a popcorn movie that’s better than anyone anticipated. It’s real to both of them, and they’re not afraid to say it at the dinner table with their f...
