Ep. 45 - Monkeybone 07.09.2022 1:12:32
When someone says “do you want to watch Monkeybone”, you should be forewarned that they are not actually asking you to watch late night National Geographic documentaries. Instead, they are asking you to watch something much, much weirder than that. But, if the Brendan Fraser renaissance is upon us, then let us celebrate by trying to prove to you that Monkeybone is not that bad. Learn more about yo...
Ep. 44 - Driven 24.08.2022 1:01:44

Ep. 43 - Movie 43 17.08.2022 1:06:42
Sometimes, being clever can be a bad thing. For example, this is the 43rd episode of It’s Not That Bad and we thought, “wouldn’t it be funny if we watched Movie 43 for episode 43”? You see the problem? That’s the kind of thinking that kept us out of the good schools. Regardless, we’re going to commit to the bit and prove to you that Movie 43 is not that bad.

Ep. 42 - Young Guns 2 10.08.2022 53:27
Hey, remember when you could make a movie with a bunch of “of the moment” actors, have it critically panned, and still be able to make a sequel to it? Man, those were good times. Well saddle up, because we’re going back to the days of the brat pack, ready to go down in a blaze of glory as we try to prove to you that Young Guns 2 is not that bad.

Ep 41 - The Circle (2017) 03.08.2022 1:09:08
You ever have that moment where you talk about something with someone in person, then all of a sudden, you start getting ads on various social media apps for that very thing? Creepy, right. Well, we’re about to take that to the extreme with a movie that will make you want to leave every social app you have, except MySpace. Tom is still waiting for you at MySpace. That’s because we’re here to prove...
Grading On A Curve: Superhero Movies 01.08.2022 1:21:35
Once upon a time, superhero movies were not all that super and definitely didn’t dominate the cinemascape. Is there a glimmer of hope in the darkest corners of the masked mess of mediocrity? Brace yourself as we scrape the bottom of the barrel to see who stands atop the garbage pile when we rank the worst of the worst in the first ever Grading On A Curve.

Ep. 37 - America's Sweethearts 29.06.2022 1:10:29
Repeat after me…I’m grateful for the actors. I am grateful for the writing. I am grateful for the comedy. I am grateful for the script. I am not grateful for the critics who poo-poo’d on this movie.

Ep. 36 - Little Nicky 22.06.2022 1:23:49
To say that Adam Sandler has made some hellishly bad films might be a grand understatement. But what happens when you drop in a heaven and hell storyline, some end of the 90’s CGI that looks like beginning of the 90’s CGI and a romantic plotline that can best be described as “there”, and you get a big challenge as we try to prove to you that Little Nicky is not that bad. Learn more about your ad c...
Ep. 35 - The Ridiculous 6 15.06.2022 1:11:38
There are Adam Sandler movies. There are bad Adam Sandler movies. There is also this...the Ridiculous 6. Was Netflix ridiculous for throwing 60 million at this film? Maybe. Were we ridiculous enough to attempt to watch this to find good things to say? Definitely. However, we do like a challenge, and challenge accepted as we set out to prove to you that The Ridiculous 6 is not that bad. Learn more...
Ep. 34 - Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) 08.06.2022 1:18:27

Ep. 33 - Machete Kills 02.06.2022 1:02:05
Imagine making a movie with a bunch of your friends which is a sequel to movie that you made with a bunch of your friends which is based on a fake trailer for a movie within a movie that you made with a bunch of your friends. Surprisingly, we’re not talking about a Kevin Smith project. Nope, we’re going to grind this episode right out of the house and prove to you that 2013’s Machete Kills is not...
Ep. 32 - Mr. Right 25.05.2022 1:04:30
Looking for a hit movie? How about a movie about a hitman who’s tired of doing hits for people who hire hitmen, so as a way to hit back, he hits the guys who hired him in the first place as a hitman, because contracting out hits is bad. Throw in some hit actors, some hit-worthy dance moves and you have yourselves a movie that’s all da hit. Too bad the critics couldn’t give a hit about it…but that’...
Ep. 31 - A Nightmare On Elm Street (2010) 11.05.2022 1:29:15
There are three things in movies that make people run screaming…a charbaby in a fedora, creepy kids singing an even creepier lullaby, and the words “Produced by Michael Bay”. You won’t want to sleep on this episode, because we’re about to prove to you that 2010’s remake of A Nightmare On Elm Street is not that bad. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep. 30 - Batman Forever 04.05.2022 1:16:44
One of the criticisms of Tim Burton's Batman movies is that they were made by a guy who didn't like comic books. Then came 1995 and Joel Schumacher with the “hold my beer” approach to comic book movies. But despite having more neon than a Tokyo night club, a Two-Face with one personality and arguably the worst cinematic Batman ever, we're still here to prove to you that Batman Forever...is not tha...
Ep. 29 - Cars 2 27.04.2022 1:06:47
Do you remember The Andy Griffith Show? A show about a charming, lovable character. Then they thought it was a good idea to make a spinoff about the idiot mechanic entering the military? Now, picture that…but with animated cars. Lightning may not have struck twice, but we’re here to trade in our dad jokes for dadgum and prove to you that Cars 2…is not that bad.

Ep. 28 - Four Rooms 20.04.2022 1:12:56
If two’s company, and three’s a crowd…four is clearly an experiment in film production. With familiar names, two of the hottest film directors of their time and one New Year’s Eve never to forget, what could possibly go wrong? Well, if you’re Ted the Bell Boy, everything. However, if you’re just a film lover, nothing…as we’re here to prove to you that Four Rooms is not that bad. Learn more about y...
Ep 27 - The Bubble 13.04.2022 1:18:20
The last two years have given us a lot of words we probably never want to hear again for a long time. Words like pivot, cohort, moistly, lockdown and variant. However, we’ll try to go gentle and not burst your mood, as we’re going to be saying Bubble a lot…because we’re about to prove to you that the Netflix comedy the Bubble is not that bad.

Ep. 26 - Road House 06.04.2022 1:40:39
If I learned anything from the movies in the 80’s, it’s that the most famous people in the world are bouncers…Jasper apparently only has one band, and that it’s okay to rip out someone’s throat with your bare hand. No one’s putting Swayze in a corner on this one. Gomez from Playlist Wars joins the show to help us prove to you that Road House…is not that bad. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit...
Ep. 25 - Hudson Hawk 30.03.2022 1:00:03
Normally, we don’t talk about Bruno…at least, that’s what Encanto tells us. Unfortunately, that’s not the case this time...because we’re going to have to talk about the Return Of Bruno. Sit back as we attempt to unlock the Da Vinci Codex as we prove to you that 1991’s Hudson Hawk is not that bad. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Ep. 24 - Formula 51 (The 51st State) 23.03.2022 1:02:31
An assassin, a hooligan and a kilt-wearing chemist walk into Manchester to make a drug deal. Throw in a crime boss who talks about himself in the third person, more F-bombs than you can bleep out and you have a recipe for success. You can almost taste the rainbow already. Listen in as we prove that Formula 51 isn't breaking bad at all. This Samuel L. Jackson cult classic...is not that bad. Learn m...
Ep. 23 - Venom (2018) 16.03.2022 1:13:07
Take two Oscar-nominated actors, a script where the main lead talks to himself for half the movie and a character with a not-so-great cinematic history and toss them all together into a film about hungry goo. Things are about to get sticky as we set out to prove to you that 2018’s Venom…is not that bad. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Ep. 22 - Rough Night 09.03.2022 1:02:32
If we have learned anything from the movies, it's that nothing bad ever happens if you decide to have a wild night before your wedding. Nothing bad at all…absolutely nothing can go wrong. Unless, of course, you let your horned-up best friend run the show. But even though very bad things happen, we're here to show that 2017’s Rough Night is not that bad.
