Our second of back to back "stupid volcano movies from 1997" is the possibly the least disastery of any disaster movies ever created. Spoiler alert - body count is 5 and a tiny hick town gets cleared off the map. It's fine since they were just a bunch of smug buttholes anyways. So if  Volcano  should have been named "Lava; Not Volcano Really", then  Dante's Peak should have been cal...

Hey remember that OTHER volcano movie from 1997? Well its here on Stinker Madness to finally help us answer that age old question: which 1997 volcano movie is the most stupid? Dante's Peak stars Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton. Roman's Do's and Don'ts Ninja Busters -  Dangerous Men - $3.99 on  The Barbarians -  The Wild Card - The Great Superpower Debate Extreme resistance to extr...

Tommy and Anne face off against some hot magma ("What's Magma?") in the first of two 1997 volcano movies. This one features a lead character who should be fired and never hired for his job, a slew of disaster movie cliches (Dog never dies, anyone?) and Stan, the Man-Chucking Man in possibly the stupidest movie we've ever seen on this show. Let's start off by declaring how incredibly dumb this movi...

Surprise! Volcano! Tommy Lee Jones comes in to ask what magma is and see if his volcano movie of 1997 can be the dumber of the year. We all know its stupid, but how stupid can it be? Roman's Do's and Don'ts Lust for Freedom (1987) - YouTube Furious (1984) - IMDB The Zero Boys (1986) - IMDB Wild Card - The Great Superpower Debate Electro-magnetic Telekinesis - 3.5 stars

The Corey's team up to help Haim get his drivers license and bang a girl. Along the way, they go on a slew of crimes mostly involving reckless endangerment but also sexual assault and child pornography in a showcase of how horrible the 80s were. Not even Heather Graham and Carol Kane can save this. This film is a pukefest of 80s trends, stupidity, and selfishness. It's a perfect capsule of somethi...

The "Coreys" make their official first appearance on the show with the 80's cheesefest about teenagers getting driver's licenses. This sounds like a recipe for disaster as the 80's sucked, teenagers suck and drivers training sucks the worst! At least Heather Graham is easy on the eye-balls. Streaming  Roman Do's and Don'ts Metamorphosis: The Alien Factor (1990) - IMDB Hired to Kill (1990) - I...

John Rambo comes to us in the third installment of the First Blood/Rambo franchise in the pinnacle of 80's over the top action. It's fun, it's stupid, its violent, and ridiculous. But in the year 2016 and how much we don't really care for ethnic cleansing, it's also a little offensive. Bullets and fire are allergic to Rambo, he has teleportation powers, and he's suddenly an expert horseman. He can...

Carolco decides its destiny by spending too much on a ridiculous film that involves a man causes fire and bullets to steer clear. It's the Stallord's one jillionth appearance on the show and we haven't even gotten to Tango & Cash, Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot or Cliffhanger! Streaming Do's and Don'ts Reign of Fire - Starz Down n' Dirty - Amazon Prime   The Wild Card - Who would win in a kni...

Troll 2  has been widely hailed as one of the best bad movies ever made what with its documentary called "Best Worst Movie" and also topping the IMDB Bottom 100. Sometimes though a film can be overpraised in its horrendousness. Will  Troll 2 stand up to the critical analysis that has debunked such films as  Gigli  and  Mommie Dearest ? The short answer? No. No this movie i...

Finally, we hit one of the most notorious bad movies of all time. At one point, Troll 2 was the #1 lowest rated movie on IMDB.com until people realized it's freaking awesome. Praised by many and loved by tons, it's a treasure of a film and we can't wait to dive into it.

In 1981, Faye Dunaway took the role of Joan Crawford and then thought she was on a one way track to Oscar Town. Instead, her completely unbelievable performance bought her a bus ticket to Razzieville. We take on this cult classic and try to determine the ultimate question of "Is it really that bad or good?" So there's truly only one thing to talk about regarding this film. It's Faye Dunaway's perf...

One of the most prolific bad movies of all time finally lands on the show with Jackie's choice in the Faye Dunaway "acted" biography adaptation of  Mommie Dearest . It's the story of Joan Crawford and her very progressive and seemingly quite fair treatment of stolen baby, Christina. So many Razzie wins but will it hold up to the Stinker Madness treatment? Streaming Do's and Don'ts Twisted Jus...

ID4:2 comes to a Bad Movie Field Trip on the show this week. Will it be stupid fun enough to get into that elusive Best Bad Movie category for the 2016 SMABFAs? Can it at least be better than that damn  Jupiter Ascending? So now, to the fun. You can tell that Roland had fun making this. He had to work within the rules of a stupid studio but worked his silly business in without catching the ir...

Sam brings us the least karate "karate" movie to ever exist with martial arts being replaced by romance, music, dancing, neon, sassy children, and pizza. While this may sound like something you want to put your head through a wall for,  The Last Dragon is truly awesome. The Last Dragon is the tale of a kung fu obsessed teenager who is the son of a pizza restaurateur on a journey to be the bes...

This week on the podcast Sam brings in a movie that made him quite angry as a child but then grew to love it's non-kung-fu ways. It's 1985's The Last Dragon in which a "kung fu" guy tries to achieve something called "The Glow".

Danton returns to do his thing and his thing is killing so many people in ridiculous ways. This time he gets kidnapped by Colonel Hogan for the sake of a "never hunt a man" competition, faces off against Thorton, receives an assist from an old military buddy, has his wife kidnapped by a sexretary and does a fist pump in the air. Sound familiar? If you had told us that Deadliest Prey is just a rema...

Mike Danton is back on the show and we can't be excited enough. Deadliest Prey is the 28 years later sequel to Hall of Fame movie, Deadly Prey and we can't wait to see how David and Ted Prior follow up one of the greatest bad movies of all time. Be sure to revisit our Deadly Prey episode and for god sakes, watch the movie. Streaming Do's and Don'ts Shotgun - YouTube Death Machines - YouTube Rage o...

Jim Wynorski makes his Stinker Madness debut with 1991's tale of a spooky phone hotline that gives you the confidence to mow on Bridgette Neilsen's box and gain super-powers so that you can stock a lady with a tall butt. We're pretty confused on what this movie is about. Our best theory is that the dean of a community college has an obsession with his ex-office assistant. He's nuts and thinks that...

Jim Wynorski makes his very first and long overdue appearance on the show with 1991's  976-Evil 2, a film so important that they wouldn't even bring Robert Englund to direct it. Will Jim continue his fine tradition and increase his presence in the Stinker Hall of Fame? Spoiler alert - totally. We'd like to say thank you to our fans that recently wrote in by sharing some thoughts from them on...

Dirty Harry finally becomes the worst cop in the history of cops when he decides asking questions or arresting people is boring; it's just better to shoot everyone in the face. Sprinkle in some karate, self-deprecating jokes, an unnecessary love interest, old-man grumble dialogue, a car/rc car/car chase, dubious action, and a plot that leaves the audience thinking it was invented by monkeys and yo...

This week we put on our best "squinty stink-eye whisper-yelling shoot everyone in the face" faces and get ready for Clint Eastwood to make his first appearance on the show in the franchise-killing  Dead Pool . Can Harry Calahan keep his gun in his pants for more than six lines of dialogue? You're Wrong, Idiot! Regarding Superman IV: The Quest for Peace   Whether the Fortress of Solitude...

Our final film in our superhero threepeat is 2008's MCU bonkersfest Punisher: War Zone and its a masterpiece. Its the most violent, over the top, ridiculous, preposterous, bad-assery, poorly acted gem of an incredible time. It would have been impossible for this film to be successful but it is also impossible to NOT be a cult-classic. It's great. Ray Stevenson kills it as the Punisher. There shoul...

In the last of our Superhero Threepeat, we are super jacked to bring in one of the most ridiculous (and awesome) films ever made. Its just one of only two "Marvel Knights" movies and I can't imagine why there weren't more. Ray Stevenson becomes Frank Castle in a bonkers and violent manner in  Punisher: War Zone. Do not fail to watch this epic film. Streaming Do's and Don'ts Frozen - Starz Sah...

Part 2 of our 3 Superhero Movie Festival just so happens to be our 200th podcast episode! Congratulations to us! Sadly the movie,  Supergirl , does not contain any of the fanfare that revolves around our momentous milestone. It's just one of the most boring, uneventful films ever made. There are so many problems with  Supergirl . The first and foremost is that absolutely nothing happens...

In part 2 of our Superhero fest, we follow Superman IV with another flop from the Supes franchise, 1984's  Supergirl,  starring Helen Slater of  The Legend of Billie Jean  fame. How offensive will Jackie's third 1980's teen girl movie be? Can it stand up to the horrible morals established in  Teen Witch ? Will it have as much creepy sexual misguidance as  Tomboy ? We'...
