It's Not That Bad

In all the years of doing this show, seldom have we had the chance to get classy and Shakespearean. So, grab a flagon of your best mead, bust out the lute and dance a merry jig….it’s time to see, before a live studio audience, if Ophelia is not that bad.

When your filmography is this good, they tend to call you Sir. This week, we run through the cinematic works of Sir Anthony Hopkins and figure out which films were worthy of knighthood, which films shone brightly...and which films were less royalty and more common. www.notthatbadcast.com Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/notthatbadcast Social Media - @notthatbadcast (X, Instagram, Threads, Blues...

It’s February and that can only mean one thing…theatres filled with couples watching movies they’re totally not paying attention to, all the while seeing if they’ll touch hands while going for the popcorn. However, this is probably not the movie any couple is looking for. But, maybe it’s the movie they need…because Date Movie is not that bad. www.notthatbadcast.com Facebook - https://www.facebook....

I'm just going to apologize now for all the bad jokes and dad jokes you are about to hear in this episode. They're corny, I'm even cornier and you will groan with just how bad they will be.

Take one of the most iconic anime characters of all-time, with a long back story, millions of fans around the world and multiple animated shows and movies. Now, take that property to the live-action world and cast your teenage main lead of a Japanese manga with an almost 30-year old Canadian. We’re off to a rough start already as we try to prove to you that Dragonball Evolution is not that bad. Sp...

Doctor Who is one of the longest-running TV shows in all of television history, and has featured performances from some incredible actors. Those actors have also been in a number of great movies...and not so great movies. This week, we look at actors who have played the Time Lord and pick three movies from all of those vast filmographies. Which flicks made the list, and which Doctors did we choose...

They say you can’t tell a book from its cover. To paraphrase, you also can’t always tell a movie by its title. Take Epic Movie, for example. They didn’t lie about one of those words…it is a movie. Whether it’s epic or not remains to be seen. The even bigger question though is if Epic Movie is not that bad. www.notthatbadcast.com Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/notthatbadcast Social Media - @no...

Doing one movie is hard. Pulling off the sequel is challenging. Nailing a third entry can be impossible. This week, we look at franchises that have pulled the trifecta and make our picks on which third films in a series worked and which ones didn't. www.notthatbadcast.com Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/notthatbadcast Social Media - @notthatbadcast (X, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky, Spoutible) L...

This week, we're looking at movies that were the first of many for a number of actors. Which flicks made the list? www.notthatbadcast.com All Social Media - @notthatbadcast (X, Facebook, Bluesky, Instagr...

The nice thing about adapting a video game to the big screen is that the story is already there, there’s a template for the characters and you have a ready-to-watch audience. So with all of that, how is it that some of these flicks make us want to rage quit? Strap in, grab a controller and pray for a “skip cutscene” button as we try to prove to you that Alone In The Dark is not that bad. www.notth...

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before…Black Adam, Daphne and Stifler walk into a dystopian nightmare version of LA while that guy from N’Sync is lip syncing a Killers song and no one knows exactly what the heck is going on.

Every Christmas season, people make fun of the absurd level of schmaltz dumped onto television by the good people at Hallmark. But, anyone who complains needs to be brought back in time to 1978, when Santa crapped out the biggest coal ever to fill a stocking. If you already have a bad feeling about this, so do we, because we’re about to try to prove to you that The Star Wars Holiday Special is not...

There are three words, when put together, combine to form the scariest phrase in the world of modern day movies. No, it’s not “time travel film”. And no, it isn’t “retro slasher flick”. In fact, the scariest thing anyone could ever whisper into the ear of a cinephile is “straight to streaming”. That said, we’re here to whisper to you that Time Cut is not that bad. www.notthatbadcast.com Facebook -...

Over the year, anime films and series have brought to the screen some unbelievable, fantastical imagery.

Who says you can’t go home? When your home is the Big Apple, it’s kind of hard to say no. But, when your home is a New York City that’s still overrun with a ghost problem…maybe it's time for a move?
