Worst Scene / Best Scene

This 58th episode finds our heroes discussing the worst scene in George Miller's 2015 magnum opus Mad Max: Fury Road vs the best scene in Paul WS "not Thomas" Anderson's almost passable effort at making a mildly entertaining movie, 2008's Death Race. Guest hosted by Drew Richards, who won a Worst Scene Guest Host prize from the New York State Lottery. You know the saying: Scratch off three mics in...

In today's episode George and Richard discuss the worst scene in 1967's Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, starring the great Sidney Poitier at his peak (alongside Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, who are no slouches) vs the best scene in 2005's Guess Who, a trite but watchable reimagining that could not feel more like it was made in 2005 if it tried.

What if I told you that in this week's episode of the podcast we're comparing the worst scene in 2021's The Matrix Resurrections, a film that acts as a meta commentary on the very existence of a film series called "The Matrix" vs 2003's The Matrix Revolutions, a film that acts as a meta commentary on how to bore yourself to tears and fall asleep. Land "Agent" Smith returns as a guest host alongsid...

What if I told you that in this week's episode of the podcast we're comparing the worst scene in 1999's The Matrix, a genre breaking and genre defining action film vs 2003's The Matrix Reloaded, a film that answers the question: what if all the people at Burning Man also knew kung fu? Land "Agent" Smith guest hosts (yes, he was invited solely because of his last name) alongside your usuals: GEO an...

Listen in as three idiots discuss two movies about idiocy, 2006's Idiocracy, a movie that is now so often jokingly referred to as a documentary that saying so has stopped being a joke vs 2021's Don't Look Up, a movie that sets out to be our generation's Dr. Strangelove but can't quite live up to our generation's Idiocracy. Dan Sukara guest stars.

Our very special New Years episode finds George and Richard getting a little sappy about all the guests they've had on the podcast this year while discussing the worst scene in 1946's It's a Wonderful Life, a film starring Jimmy Stewart at the height of his powers vs the best scene in 1990's Mr. Destiny, starring Jim Belushi at the very height of his.

In our very special Christmas week episode, we look at the worst scene in The Muppet Christmas Carol (the best movie version of this classic tale) vs the best scene in Jack Frost, a retelling of Frosty the Snowman in which Frosty is haunted by a kid's dead dad and is creepy as hell. Compelling! Hosted as always by Richard Werst and George Bust, alongside guest hosts Sacha Chambers and Aimee Rivers...

To kick off the holiday season we look at the worst scene in the 1992 classic, Home Alone vs the best scene in the 2004 exact-opposite-of-a-classic, Surviving Christmas, a movie in which Ben Affleck's contract clearly stipulated he never be required to do more than one take per scene. Joining us this week are Thomas Stern and Jon "Not Benet" Ramsey, the brilliant hosts of the Great Samaritan podca...

In this week's episode we kick off wintertime with two films dedicated to the art of figure skating: we look at the worst scene in 2007's Blades of Glory (starring Napoleon Dynamite and Will Ferrel) vs the best scene in 1992's The Cutting Edge. At least 10% of people reading this synopsis are angry we have The Cutting Edge as the bad movie in this episode and that's ok, emotions are a healthy thin...

In this very special edition of Worst Scene we celebrate our frequent guest host Dan's bachelor party by watching two 80s movies about geriatrics.

This week on Worst Scene / Best Scene we consider the worst scene in Christopher Nolan's celebrated The Dark Knight vs the best scene in Christopher Nolan's not nearly as good The Dark Knight Rises.

It's raining (and defrosting) men this week as we discuss the worst scene in 1988's Rain Man vs the best scene in Pauly Shore's 1992 opus, Encino Man.

Join your delicious co-hosts George and Richard as they answer at leas...

In this 41st episode of Worst Scene, your co-hosts and beloved national treasures George and Richard are joined by comedian and sometimes guest host Land Smith as they discuss the Worst Scene in James Gunn's wonderful 2021 film The Suicide Squad versus the Best Scene in David Ayer's atrocious 2016 film Suicide Squad, a movie that would probably have been really cool to a certain kind of 45 year ol...

Nighttime has fallen upon Worst Scene as we discuss two films that mostly take place after the sun disappears into a cave or wherever it goes when it's dark outside: 1985's After Hours, Martin Scorsese's dark, kooky comedy that is by far his best film that co-stars Cheech and Chong, vs 1985's Into the Night, John Landis' dark, kooky, not quite as funny comedy that – despite star turns from Jeff Go...

It’s Tomorrow vs Tomorrow as George "co-host" Sukara and Richard "co-host" Something put their worst scene from The Edge of Tomorrow (the best Tom Cruise movie of the past 20 years that isn't a Mission Impossible sequel)up against their best scene from the Tomorrow War, a sometimes exciting, sometimes boring Amazon Prime film that they can't help but love thanks to the star turn of Mr Slice, Mitch...

It’s Schwarzenegger vs Schwarzenegger as George "co-host" Sukara and Richard "co-host" Something put their worst scenes from T2 (possibly the greatest summer blockbuster of all time)up against their best scenes from Arnie’s follow-up, the much maligned Last Action Hero (also known as Planet Hollywood the Movie). Come with us if you want to live!

It's Mike Myers week on the podcast for some unknown reason, and our two majestic co-hosts are joined by LA comedians Aviva Siegel and Land Smith to discuss the worst scene in 1997's Austin Powers, a film that ponders what the world would be like if James Bond was ugly and weird vs the best scene in 1993's So I Married an Axe Murderer, a movie that accurately depicts San Francisco's bottomless tol...

In honor of Patrick Swayze, your two beloved co-hosts are joined by comedian Jesse Hett as they discuss the worst scene in 1987's Dirty Dancing, a film about people dancing dirty that also contains within it a remarkably progressive story about abortion vs 1989's Road House, the first movie to make bouncers cool and also a watershed moment for Sam Elliott's pubes.
