Your Favorite Bad Movie Podcast

Chris and Anna sit down for the first ever Your Favorite Bad Reality Competition Show Special! We're talking about one of the greatest seasons of television ever made, Canada's Worst Driver Season 9. It's an obsession around the Andersen household and a long time comfort watch, so we're excited to share our thoughts with you guys! If you liked this change of subject matter, let us know and we'll m...

Chris, Anna, and Greg visit an old favorite this week, Jorge Montesi's Turbulence 3: Heavy Metal! This was the first movie that we showed in our Discord, and it definitely won't be our last. It's an action movie that stars a noticeably Canadian Marilyn Manson pastiche Die Hard-ing his way through an air bus that has been taken over by an evil cult...and that's just the beginning of how crazy this...

Chris and Greg are joined by special guest Josef Wakeman to talk about the lost and rediscovered classic, Death Bed: The Bed That Eats! Equal parts fairy tale and gore picture, Death Bed: The Bed That Eats is a true American original. It's the most beautiful film you'll ever see that features a bed that eats people and this is the best podcast you'll ever hear about it. That's a two-fer guarantee,...

Chris, Anna, and Greg are proud to bring you our first ever Best Bad Movie of the Year Episode and this year, it had to be Madame Web. A deranged void of a film, Madame Web is the ultimate devolution of the superhero film and the BEST bad movie of 2024. Her web connects them all!

Chris, Greg, and Anna are joined by Noah Fulmor to talk about the hacking hagiography Hackers. You're going to want to download this to your jazz drives, because we're dropping a logic bomb straight into the kernel of the coolest of the 90's cyberthrillers. You could say that it hasn't aged well, but that implies that people liked it when it came out. Tune in, and HACK THE PLANET!

Chris and Greg are joined by the inimitable Michael Darling to talk about one of the great rediscovered American films, Miami Connection. Tae Kwon Do and Rock n' Roll combine to create pure cinema! We go long on Dragon Sound, the city of Orlando, and the music of Angelo Janotti. Miami Connection-heads, you don't want to miss it, and if you haven't seen Miami Connection, we'll tell you all about wh...

Chris, Anna, and Greg are joined by the original mad lad, Matt "Finny" Finnegan to talk about the lost and rediscovered time travel fantasy adventure, The Lords of Magick. Shot on BetaCam and starring a stage magician that never acted before again, The Lords of Magick is pure uncut, capital B "Bad Movie". Tune in, you don't want to miss it! https://youtube.com/@therealbobcouch?si=4skInB6JA-MlaWD_

Chris and Greg are joined by Mallory Rine to talk about the absurdist theater adaptation, The Balcony. If you're a fan of that episode of Columbo with Leonard Nimoy, you want won't to miss our discussion of the first time they played a cop and his quarry. Except this time, Shelly Winters is there, too, and she plays a madame at a fantastical bordello in the midst of a revolution! There's a lot goi...

It's our first ever holiday special! Chris, Anna, and Greg are joined by special guest Courtney Collins to talk about her pick, Just Friends. This early Ryan Reynolds movie is vaguely Christmas themed, a cable classic, and is the most casually homophobic and structurally fatphobic movie we've watched yet! You've got Anna Farris and Julie Hagerty, though, so it's not all bad! We weigh Just Friends'...

Chris and Greg are joined by Alice Ebenhoe to talk about Uwe Boll's In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale. Giving Germany's least successful director sixty million dollars to adapt a videogame no one played probably seemed like a good idea to someone, but watching it definitely is not.  It's a fantasy film packed to the gills with a miscast cast; if you ever wanted to see Burt Reynold...

Chris and Anna are joined by sister of the show Laura Smith to talk about the definitive Girl Power movie, Spice World! It's bubble gum pop with a feminist twist, 90's style! Does it hold up? Do you need to love the Spice Girls to love Spice World? Can you watch Spice World without falling in love with the Spice Girls? And is Girl Power gender essentialist? We report, you decide!

This week Chris and Greg welcome back Stefa Nunes to talk about the famous flop, Joe Versus the Volcano. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan were certified box office gold and the definitive onscreen couple of the 90's, but their first onscreen pairing failed to capture audiences' hearts mostly by being too weird! And also, the final act is strangely, needlessly problematic and discomforting? It was the 90's,...

Chris and Greg are joined by woman about Wichita Rebekah Rine to talk about Jan Š vankmajer's ode to perversion, Conspirators of Pleasure! It's a completely dialogue-less Czech ensemble piece about six people's elaborate means of getting off. It might be a stretch to call it a bad movie, but we include it as being possibly alienatingly strange. It's certainly not everyone's cup of tea, but it sure...

This week, Chris and Greg are joined by musician, author, and podcaster Justin Remer to talk about a true high watermark for bad cinema, Menahem Golan's The Apple! It's a cocaine-fueled science fiction musical adapting the book of Genesis and lampooning the music industry and is on more top ten lists of bad movies than we can shake a stick at. Come join the fun as we give our impressions of this c...

We wind down our Spooky Season Scare-topia with Chris's pick, Don Coscarelli's Phantasm II. The wild, weird world of Phantasm gets even wilder and weirder with Universal Studio's attempt to turn Phantasm into an 80's style horror franchise. It ultimately flopped (in part due to being released opposite Die Hard and Who Framed Roger Rabbit), but we still love it, because it's got balls! Tune in!

Our Spooky Season Scare-a-thon continues with Anna's Halloween pick, the giallo/torture porn mash-up I Know Who Killed Me! It may have been a flop upon release, quickly overshadowed by the looming specter of Lindsay Lohan's endless parade of scandals, but we argue that this film should be remembered. Not only does it have Lohan in a challenging dual role as both a good girl next door who gets her...

It's the first episode of our Spooky Season Scare-tacular, and we're starting things off with Greg's pick, the Italian Alien knock-off, Contamination! Come join the fun as we examine this classic tale of a boy and a girl and another boy and giant green eggs with a yolk that will make you explode when you touch it. It's scary, it's gross, and it's very Italian (it has a score by Goblin), so tune in...

Chris and Anna are joined by our first ever returning guest, Preston Spurlock, to talk about Timothy Carrey's The World's Greatest Sinner. It's our election year special! As funny as it is haunting, as timeless as it is timely, and as cool as it is weird, The World's Greatest Sinner is one of the best rock n' roll films ever made (even if composer Frank Zappa disagrees). Tune in and hear us get it...

Chris, Greg, and Anna are joined this week by the author of such books as Apprentice Academy Sorcerers, Sudden Glory, and Impossible Histories (and dungeonmaster extraordinaire) Hal Johnson to talk about his favorite bad movie, The Atomic Brain (a.k.a Monstrosity). It's our first foray into the science fiction movies of the 50's, and this gothic little mad scientist chiller does not disappoint. If...

Chris and Greg join special guest Ryan Estrada to talk about our first ever Bollywood movie AND our first ever movie where the guest is in the movie! Aap Kaa Surroor is a romantic thriller musical starring Himesh Reshammiya as himself. The reality show judge and playback singer might be the least charismatic leading man we've ever seen! Tune in, you don't want to miss it!   ryanestrada.com&nb...

Chris and Greg sit down with playwrite and podcaster Matt Wilson to talk about Canada's greatest canine athlete and the film Air Bud: Seventh Inning Fetch. Is the episode a grand slam, or is the whole podcast going to the dogs? Only one way to find out...tune in! https://www.instagram.com/quatschmonster/

Chris, Greg, and Anna are joined by brother of the show, Johan Andersen to talk about Albert Pyun's high caliber classic, Mean Guns. This love song to gun violence is an all time fav for both Andersen brothers and a high watermark for Pyun, with a premise as simple as it is nasty: one hundred hitmen, three million dollars, and one prison that they can't escape. You don't want to miss it!

Greg, Chris, and Anna welcome special guest Shelly Walston to talk about our first ever Academy Award winner for this week's episode! With comedy ringers like Gene Wilder, Gilda Radner, and Charles Grodin, and Kelly LeBrock bringing the sex appeal, how could anyone call this movie bad? Well, tune in and find out!

This week, Chris and Greg are joined by Al Bates to talk about the definitive creature feature/frat comedy Ghoulies Go To College! We'll cover all the pranks, yanks, and generalized mayhem that made this film either really good or really bad, depending on who you ask! That's right, we've got a split panel this week, so you don't want to miss it. We even weigh in on the "talking Ghoulie" controvers...

We've got another all timer this week with Claudio Fragasso's singular Troll 2. Kate Bellock picked a film that many would describe as the best worst movie ever made. In fact, it's even the subject of the documentary Best Worst Movie (which we talk about a little, too!) So tune in, Troll 2 heads, it's your week to shine!
