Episodes

Ep. 21 - The Smurfs 02.03.2022

We're back and we're talking about the big screen adaptation of the "three apples high" blue crew as they enter the real world of New York City. Good animation, a pitch-perfect villain...the critics definitely got it wrong on this one, and we're here to tell you why. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ep. 20 - Dream A Little Dream 29.12.2021

No duo may have defined a decade in film quite like the Two Coreys…but what happens when the decade nears an end? Would their final film foray of the 80’s leave fans wanting for more…or would it make viewers wish they could wake up from a horrible dream? Erin Marlow from It's A Fandom Thing joins the show as we set out to prove to you that 1989’s Dream A Little Dream…is not that bad. Learn more ab...

Ep. 19 - Home Sweet Home Alone 24.12.2021

Christmas is here, which can only mean one thing…movies that are supposed to make you feel festive but only make you want to hide from family gatherings, brutalize people dressed as Santa and plug your ears as you hear Carol Of the Bells for the 40th time today. But can one sequel save Christmas? Find out as we prove to you that Home Sweet Home Alone…is not that bad. Learn more about your ad choic...

Ep. 18 - Rollerball (2002) 22.12.2021

Take the sport of roller derby, drop it into underworld Russia and script it like it’s an episode of Monday Night Raw…all while everyone is dressed like they’re in a German new wave band and give the lead action role to someone who had never done an action movie before. That sounds like it should work…but did it? Find out as we take 2002’s Rollerball and probe to you…that it’s not that bad Learn m...

Ep. 17 - The Adventures Of Pluto Nash 15.12.2021

Here’s a math problem for you to solve…what do you get if you have 100 million dollars, give Eddie Murphy 20% of that, subtract the cost of making a movie, then add the box office totals? The answer…you get one of the biggest box office flops of all time. We may have our hands full as we try prove to you that The Adventures Of Pluto Nash…is not that bad. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit meg...

Ep. 16 - Be Cool 09.12.2021

Take a no-nonsense former shylock, cutthroat music execs and a ruthless battle for the talents of one singer…and put them in a wacky comedy full of quotable lines and visual gags in a sequel to a movie heralded as one of those rare feats…a movie that is as good as the book. Did lightning strike twice? Find out as we prove to you that Be Cool…is not that bad. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit...

Ep. 15 - The Spirit (2008) 02.12.2021

The year was 2008...a magical year for comic book fans at the theater, because for the first time, a beloved hero was coming to the big screen. Of course, we could only be talking about one movie...and it ain't Iron Man. Grab your fedora and get ready for a whole ton of narration as we set out to prove that The Spirit...is not that bad.

Ep. 14 - One For The Money 24.11.2021

Take a beloved book franchise, an Emmy-winning actress, release the film on a light box office weekend and you have the formula for a #1 movie...unless people don't go to see it...or even like it that much. But does that make it a bad movie? We're going bounty hunting for positives as we prove to you that 2012's One For The Money...is not that bad. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone...

Ep. 13 - The Internship 17.11.2021

What happens when you type into Google – “Who are the best people to star in a heartfelt film about two people trying to turn their life around through never giving up.” Well, don’t freak out when it comes back with a guy who played Norman Bates and another best known for saying “Ka-chow”. Tim McCarthy from the 20 Timinutes Podcast joining the show to help prove to you that when it comes to The In...

Ep. 12 - A Night At The Roxbury 11.11.2021

In this episode, we’re going to answer the questions that has puzzled humanity for as long as anyone can remember…what is love? Now, don’t hurt me on this one…it needs to be answered. Throw in some 80’s cameos, a lively Saturday night and the quest to get in to the only club that matters and you have yourselves a party. So bop your head to the right, everyone. Carla from the Bed, Wed Or Behead pod...

Ep. 11 - Judge Dredd 13.10.2021

Take a movie based on a comic book, make a script with a dark tone…then through that all out, rewrite it with more jokes and have fans wondering if there’s a much better directors cut to the film. Believe it or not, we’re not even talking about Suicide Squad or Justice League. Seems to me like DC could have learned a lot if they had just taken a trip to Megacity One. Time to strap on a lawgiver be...

Ep. 10 - Caddyshack 2 06.10.2021

What happens when you take a beloved movie, replace almost everyone in it, and try to make lightning strike twice? Well, if you’re on a golf course and there’s lightning, you run. If you’re trying to make Caddyshack 2…you also run. But all’s fair on the fairway as Brian and Gomez from Playlist Wars join the show to watch this dog’s leg of a film…and if we hurry, we can make it to Bunny Skylar’s in...

Ep. 9 - The Love Guru 29.09.2021

Maple Leafs fans around the world have wanted their team to win the Stanley Cup for a long time…but not like this. No, not like this. Still, we’re going to ignore the teachings of Guru Pitka’s book “Does it Hurt When You Do that? Don’t Do That”, serve up some Quebec pizza, and watch some Elephant porn to prove to that The Love Guru…is not that bad. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone...

Ep. 8 - Airheads 22.09.2021

For your consideration…the 1994 movie Airheads is actually an educational film. It taught us that drummers can actually score with the ladies, hot sauce can be weaponized…and that all you need is a good song and a bad plan to make your dreams come true. You know, for an educational movie…Airheads is not that bad. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ep. 7 - Gymkata 15.09.2021

In 1985, one man would dare to mix gymnastics and karate. Today, we just call that mixed martial arts. Maybe Kurt Thomas couldn’t turn gymnastics gold to box office gold, but he does give us the opportunity to watch this cult classic and try to stick the landing as we prove to you that when it comes to Gymkata…it’s not that bad.

Ep. 6 - Fantastic Four (2015) 08.09.2021

They say those who forget history are doomed to repeat it…and when it comes to Marvel’s first family, Fox forgot history. Throw in a massive dose of director drama and some rock hard nudity and you’ve got all the makings of an absolute disaster…or do you? You know what time it is? It’s time to clobber the public in remembering that 2015’s Fantastic Four is not that bad. Learn more about your ad ch...

Ep. 5 - John Carter 01.09.2021

When you help create some of the most endearing, iconic animated characters in modern movie history, you pretty much get to write your own ticket. But, what if that ticket costs over 250 million dollars to be able to bring to life a character written 100 years prior as your first live-action film director credit? Bold move…let’s see how that plays out. But don’t worry…when it comes to John Carter…...

Ep. 4 - Masters Of The Universe 25.08.2021

Normally, it’s the movies that spawn the toy line. So what happens when it’s the toy line that spawns the movie? Throw in the fact that the movie was also being made by the company that was able to do what Lex Luthor and General Zod couldn’t do…kill Superman? By the power of Greyskull, I have the power to talk about Masters Of The Universe and say guess what…it’s not that bad. Learn more about you...

Ep. 3 - Destiny Turns On The Radio 18.08.2021

Picture it…the year is 1995, you have a movie set in Vegas and you have one of the biggest writer/directors at that time involved with your movie as neither a writer or a director. That seems like a good idea, right? Well, we’re about to find out as we look at Destiny Turns On the Radio and prove to you that it’s not just a movie of infinite possibilities…it’s also not that bad. Learn more about y...
