As spooky month comes to a close, we take a look at the classic political suspense thriller, The Purge. This movie sure has a lot to say.... about... something. Despite its glaring flaws, this is actually a pretty fun movie to watch, at least we had fun watching it. We may get a little silly, but hey, so does this movie. Join the conversation!

This week we are joined by Movie Night Extravaganza for a slasher film podcast mash-up. We debate the merits of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and, spoiler alert, it's a bad movie! Seriously, this movie was truly ground breaking in so many ways, including some damaging tropes and stereotypes. Take a listen and tell us how you feel about this horror classic.

It's iconic, it's creepy, it's got problems! The Shining, and its director Stanley Kubrick, has made its way to classic status, but it wasn't always well received, and is this film really worth all the suffering it caused those who made it? This week we take on Auteur Theory with one of film history's most notorious "Auteurs." Join the conversation! YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0S0bY...

These Are Bad Movies Spooktacular October continues with The Blair Witch Project. Other than the complete lack of character development, inattention to plot details, and obnoxious camera work, this movie was a lot of fun. Of course, the good parts of this movie are actually the worst. We're pretty sure this movie owes money back to everyone who ever paid to see it. Join the conversation! YouTube:...

These Are Bad Movies kicks off a month of horror with the classic Alfred Hitchcock film, Psycho. We admit, we kind of love Hitchcock movies, but there are some glaring problems with his work, not the least of which was the man himself. Join the conversation!

In this episode we take on the "Citizen Cane of Bad Movies," but is it really that bad? Yes, yes it is. Amy believes that it's still a better movie than The Joker though. Forrest Miller from Movie Night Extravaganza joins us for a conversation that none of us really expected to have. Our live stream of this episode can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aisV0mwO9Lg. Join the conversation!...

How many good movies are there about eugenics? Well... we hate to say it, but at least one. 1997's sci-fi drama, Gattica, is a beautiful and thoughtful piece that is still relevant today. But it still has it's issues. Guest R.C. (Charlie) Roberts returns to "abuse the listener" with us. Join the conversation!

Here's a deep cut for you all! Wrong Cops is a movie with almost everything you never wanted in a movie. A 40-year-old Marilyn Manson playing a teenage boy, racism, ableism, cops selling drugs hidden in the bodies of rats... Despite this, the movie was kind of funny. We go deep with this one and talk about cancel culture too! Join the conversation! YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0S0bYg...

Sometimes a movie surprises us and is MUCH worse than we expected. Snake Eyes is one of those movies. We disliked almost everything about this movie, except the textiles, they were lovely.

DC is back in the box office, and is it any surprise it's with a bad movie? Ok, maybe it was a little fun, and there were some good fights, but other than that... TERRIBLE.

This week, our new friend Charlie guest stars to talk about his favorite movie - The Edge. And with Anthony Hopkins snuggles and bear fights, what's not to love?

Good news! If you love Nicolas Cage, then this is also a movie he is in. That might be the only good thing to say about the Hollywood production of Left Behind. If you love virtue signaling and plot holes, this may be the movie for you! Take a listen to find out why this whole franchise should be left behind.

Amanda takes aim at one of the most beloved movies of all time, and Amy isn't having any of it. Who walks away the winner of this epic battle? Or is it possible that they are both right?

Michael Bay movies really are low hanging fruit. As much as we do love a good movie explosion, they are not a replacement for plot, and big name actors will not cover up for poor character development. Yet it may be the underlying message of this box office hit that is the most disturbing - experts are incompetent.

There have been arguments for decades about Fritz Lang's 1927 classic Metropolis, and whether it is a Nazi story. Some people say it's not, but those people are wrong. This movie is Nazi trash!

In this episode Amy and Amanda breakdown the latest installment in the Conjuring franchise - The Devil Made Me Do It.

OK, so this movie is fun, what's the harm in that?

Amanda and Amy move closer to ruining everyone's childhood with this week's episode. Who doesn't love the Ninja Turtles? Michael Bay apparently.

This. Is. Nothing. Like. Spartaaaaaa.

This week we take a bit of a deep dive into an often forgotten, yet surprisingly star-studded, film from the director of Donnie Darko. Southland Tales is an objectively bad movie - no joke - yet it is oddly charming. Not good, but charming. 

EXPLICIT CONTENT - NOT SUITABLE FOR YOUNG AUDIENCES - OR PROBABLY ANY AUDIENCE This episode we do a deep dive into pure freedom with America's second favorite Constitutional Amendment. Listener beware, we really bring the freedom to this bad movie.

What's one of the most defining video game franchises of the Millennial generation? Da DA da DA da DA da DA da MORTAL KOMBAT! 2021 has brought us all what we didn't realize we needed, a reboot of this beloved kill fest from our childhoods. Nothing bad about that. Right?
