Misery Loves Movies

Episode 13 – Critters (1986): They Bite Back After a brief hiatus (don’t worry, we survived… barely), Misery Loves Movies is back and ready to suffer again—this time at the tiny, toothy hands of Critters (1986). That’s right, we’re diving into this cult classic creature feature where a swarm of alien furballs crash-land on Earth and immediately start snacking on anything—and anyone—in their path....

This week, we’re diving headfirst into a punk rock post-apocalypse with Tank Girl (1995)—and for the first time ever, Mary didn’t want the end credits to roll right away. That’s right, this chaotic, comic book fever dream somehow won her over with mutant kangaroos, water hoarding villains, and one hell of a soundtrack. Is it a hot mess or just hot? Maybe both. Join us as we talk girl power, bizarr...

Everybody chill— Misery Loves Movies is back after an unexpected frost delay! This week, we suit up (complete with gratuitous Bat-nipples and credit card product placement) for a neon-lit descent into Joel Schumacher’s infamous Batman & Robin (1997). George Clooney puts on the cowl, Arnold Schwarzenegger freezes the frame as Mr. Freeze, and Uma Thurman vines her way into trouble as Poison Ivy....

We’re a day late, but we’re coming in fists flying with our latest episode covering the infamous Street Fighter (1994). Join us as we dive into this chaotic video game adaptation starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and Raul Julia, complete with bizarre one-liners, questionable accents, and a plot that’s all over the map. Is this movie a hidden gem or just another critical KO? Listen now to find out! Co...

Buckle up for a joyride into the weirdest roadside attraction ever filmed! In Dan Aykroyd’s Nothing But Trouble , a group of yuppies (led by Chevy Chase and Demi Moore) accidentally rolls into Valkenvania, where a deranged small‑town cop arrests them for the most ludicrous violations. Soon they’re carted off to the twisted mansion of Judge Alvin Valkenheiser—a one‑eyed, deformity‑obsessed judge wh...

Oh hi, listeners! This week, we finally tackle The Room , Tommy Wiseau’s infamous disasterpiece that has baffled and delighted cult movie fans for over two decades. This accidental masterpiece of awkward dialogue, unexplained subplots, football tossing, and rooftop meltdowns follows Johnny, a mysteriously-accented banker, whose life unravels when his fiancée Lisa betrays him with his best friend M...

After a string of legendary flops, we’re switching gears (slightly) with a palate cleanser full of fluorescent vibes and unhinged energy. This week, we revisit Batman Forever—Joel Schumacher’s 1995 take on the Dark Knight, where Gotham is part theme park, part fever dream. Val Kilmer dons the cowl, Jim Carrey steals scenes (and the scenery) as The Riddler, and Tommy Lee Jones… well, he’s definitel...

You thought Uwe Boll couldn’t get any worse? Think again. This week, we’re diving headfirst into Postal (2007), the infamous video game adaptation that doubles as an exercise in bad taste. Offensive, chaotic, and somehow starring actual actors like J.K. Simmons and Dave Foley (why, Dave, why?), Postal throws subtlety out the window and crashes headfirst into shock humor, over-the-top violence, and...

What if E.T. was made by McDonald’s and Coca-Cola? Well… it kinda was. This week, we’re diving into Mac and Me (1988), the infamous product placement-packed disaster that tried (and failed) to capture Spielberg magic. Featuring an alien with a horrifyingly blank stare, the most unnecessary dance sequence in McDonald’s history, and THAT wheelchair cliff scene—this movie is a non-stop fever dream. J...

Flying saucers! Undead ghouls! Stock footage galore! This week on Misery Loves Movies , we’re diving headfirst into one of the most infamous bad movies of all time— Plan 9 from Outer Space (1957). Directed by the legendary Edward D. Wood Jr., this sci-fi/horror trainwreck follows a group of aliens using "Plan 9" (aka resurrecting the dead) to stop humanity from creating a doomsday weapon. But with...

Episode 3: The Wicker Man (2006) - "NOT THE BEES!" This week on Misery Loves Movies , we’re diving headfirst into the unhinged madness of The Wicker Man (2006), starring Nicolas Cage at his absolute Cage-iest. When a detective travels to a secluded island to find a missing girl, he stumbles into a bizarre pagan cult, an abundance of ominous women, and one of the most hilariously misguided remakes...

Episode 2: Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey (2023) – Childhood Ruined What happens when your favorite childhood characters enter the public domain? Apparently, they turn into feral, overgrown murderers . 🐻🔪 This week, we’re talking about Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey (2023) —the slasher film that asks, What if Pooh and Piglet went on a human-hunting spree?

Episode 1: Troll 2 (1990) – Vegetarian Goblins & Nilbog Nightmares Welcome to Misery Loves Movies ! For our first episode, we’re diving into Troll 2 —a movie so bad it has its own documentary about how terrible it is.
