Bella’s back, and she’s moping harder than ever in The Twilight Saga: New Moon. Edward (Robert Pattinson) dumps her, so she cries to Taylor Lautner’s abs—I mean, Jacob—for 130 minutes. Sparkly vampires, shirtless werewolves, and the Volturi’s glitter gang can’t save this slog. Is it a romantic mess or a brooding bust? We roast this teen angst fest …

Carl Weathers is Jericho “Action” Jackson—a Detroit cop with a mean right hook and meaner one-liners (“How you like your ribs?”). He’s up against Craig T. Nelson’s slimy mob boss in a B-movie bonanza of exploding taxis, mansion car chases, and Vanity’s… questionable musical numbers. This ‘80s flop swings big—does it land or crash? We roast even the…

Antonio Banderas trades Zorro for Viking cosplay in The 13th Warrior—a medieval dark epic where an Arab poet battles bear-worshipping cannibals with Norsemen who scream louder than the plot holes. Directed by John McTiernan (then Michael Crichton, oops), this box office bomb swings hard. Is it a sword-slaying epic or a berserker bust? We hack throu…

Dial-up modems, rollerblades, and Angelina Jolie’s pixie cut collide in Hackers—a ‘90s cyberpunk fever dream where teen hackers battle a floppy-disk villain (Fisher Stevens, somehow oilier than the plot). Jonny Lee Miller’s Zero Cool hacks the planet, but can he hack this script? We shred this 90-minute time capsule—glowsticks and all. Is it a tech…

On today's episode someone comes at us for our take on Airheads and for the supposed lack of actual bad movies on our show.

Jean-Claude Van Damme’s mullet meets John Woo’s slow-mo doves in Hard Target—a ‘90s action fever dream where rich psychos hunt homeless vets for sport. JCVD plays Chance Boudreaux, a Cajun drifter who kicks ass, punches snakes, and rocks denim like it’s a religion. Lance Henriksen chews scenery as the big bad, while Wilford Brimley’s moonshine uncl…

Zack Ward (Resident Evil, A Christmas Story) joins us to dive into the glorious mess of his movie legacy. From slashing it up with the dogs on Resident Evil to surviving Transformers insanity, he spills the behind-the-scenes dirt you didn’t know you needed. Is Resident Evil a hack-and-slash masterpiece or a total dumpster fire? We talk all things Z…

Before Lord of the Rings ruled the fantasy world, there was Willow (1988)—a tale of wizards, warriors, and what has to be the hungriest baby of all time. Warwick Davis plays a farmer-turned-hero, Val Kilmer swaggers in as a rogue swordsman, and together, they take on an evil queen, sketchy magic, and an angry guy named Kael. It’s got action, advent…

When a band can’t get their demo played, there’s only one logical solution—take a radio station hostage. Airheads (1994) follows three starving rockers armed with water guns and zero brain cells as they stumble their way into the most chaotic publicity stunt ever. Brendan Fraser, Steve Buscemi, and Adam Sandler play the The Lone Rangers (yes, I kno…

What’s the best way to stop an asteroid from destroying Earth? According to Armageddon (1998), it’s training oil drillers to be astronauts. Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck, and a team of blue-collar misfits blast off to save the world with power tools, slow-motion walks, and lots of jump cuts. It’s big, loud, and completely ridiculous—just how Michael Ba…

The last few weeks have been a blast, but also has brought with it some controversy as the last few episodes have people in their feelings.

Snoogans! Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is what happens when two foul-mouthed stoners go on a cross-country road trip to stop Hollywood from ruining their comic book alter egos. It’s got everything—cameos, fourth-wall breaks, a chimp sidekick, and more inside jokes than a Kevin Smith fan convention. The plot barely matters, but who cares when the …

Everyone listens to this episode, and no one quits. Would you like to know more? Starship Troopers (1997) is part sci-fi action, part satire, and all-out bug-squashing ridiculousness. The future is bright if you love propaganda, giant alien insects, and soldiers who look like they just walked off a soap opera set. It’s got over-the-top action, ques…

The Griswolds are back, and this time, they’re taking on Sin City. Vegas Vacation (1997) throws Clark, Ellen, and the kids into a whirlwind of bad bets, worse luck, and Cousin Eddie being… well, Cousin Eddie. Clark gets hooked on gambling, Rusty turns into a high-rolling con man, and somehow, Wayne Newton tries to steal Ellen. It’s chaotic, ridicul…

It started with DVD players and street races—who knew it would lead to cars in space? The Fast and the Furious (2001) gave us 4 minute nitrous-fueled drag races, and Vin Diesel growling about family before it was a meme. Paul Walker plays an LAPD officer trying to bust a gang of high-speed criminals but ends up in a bromance with Dom Toretto instea…

Welcome to the future—where prisons are just islands full of murderers, and Ray Liotta is not having it. No Escape (1994) throws a disgraced Marine onto a lawless island, where survival means teaming up with the good convicts to fight the really bad ones. It’s part Mad Max, part Lord of the Flies, and all ‘90s action insanity. With explosions, jung…

When the system fails, Frank Castle takes matters—and a whole lot of ammo—into his own hands. The Punisher (2004) delivers explosions, revenge, and enough brooding to last a lifetime. Thomas Jane brings the pain, John Travolta brings the overacting, and somewhere in between, there’s a popsicle torture scene we’re still trying to figure out. Is it t…

A magical scroll, a kung fu monk, and Sean William Scott—what could go wrong? In Bulletproof Monk, a centuries-old warrior teams up with a pickpocket to save the world from bad guys who really want that scroll. It’s got gravity-defying stunts, a plot full of holes, and dialogue that’ll make you cringe. But somehow, it’s still weirdly fun. Join us a…

What do ninjas, aerobics, and supernatural possession have in common? Absolutely nothing. In Ninja III: The Domination, a ninja’s spirit takes over an aerobics instructor, turning her into a vengeance machine and she starts taking cops out like it's her day job. It’s wall-climbing, sword-swinging chaos with a side of ‘80s cheese. Does it make sense…

What happens when the government plays matchmaker with alien DNA? You get Species, a movie where the science is shaky, the decisions are worse, and the alien just wants to settle down and start a family—by any means necessary. Sil is on the loose, and it’s up to a team of scientists, a mercenary, and a guy who “feels vibes” to track her down. Spoil…

Because we are off this week - we've loaded up one of our Patreon episodes for free! Enjoy the 12th episode of Good Movies Rule, Die Hard! We figured with it being Christmas week, it was kind of no-brainer as far as which movie to cover. We hope you enjoy us recounting our experiences with John McClane and Hans Gruber! Hosts: James Hauser, Clint Bu…

You may think that you're the heroes of this little adventure, but you're not. Borderlands, when it was released, was met with a firestorm of negativity from fans of the game to general audience members that even people who have never seen it assume it's terrible. Here, we amass a small group of people, some who played the games and some who didn't…

A sincere thank you and I was completely flabbergasted when I heard what was happening. The guys really pulled out an incredible surprise for James on this episode of the mailbag.

Hail to the king, baby! This week, we’re cracking open the Necronomicon (but definitely saying the words properly) to dive into Army of Darkness. Sam Raimi’s third entry in the Evil Dead series is equal parts slapstick comedy, medieval nonsense, and epic one-liners. Join us as we unpack Ash’s journey from a mundane retail employee to chainsaw-hande…

Two idiots pretending their boss isn't dead so they can talk to chicks and drink free alcohol. That about sums up the plot, but somehow this movie has stood the test of time and is widely considered a classic by many children of the 80s. The movie proves that a surprising amount of comedy can be wrung out from even the thinest of premises, but does…

It's a box many remember seeing on Blockbuster shelves back in the 90s, but only the brave actually took Dr. Giggles home and watched it. What they got was an insane movie about a doctor-pun spewing escaped mental patient who collects hearts to perform his own unecessary surgies. What's not to love? Ridiculous moments, horrible acting, fantastic pu…

A movie that is beloved by a generation somehow sits with critic scores low enough to put it on our radar. You may be shocked that we are covering National Treasure on our show, but think of this as the silver-lining of critics not being smart enough to recognize a crowd-pleaser when they see one. While it may be universally beloved, that doesn't m…

If there was a world where human cloning was real, are we going to pretend like Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't one of the first people that we would clone? In The 6th Day we get two Arnolds for the price of one and I couldn't be more excited to talk about this one. It may have flopped at the box office, and started to spell the end for Arnold's domina…

Are we assembling again? You bet we are! It's time to join Gorilla, Hot Dog, Gypsy, The Fly and Steve as they head out to find Kandy Kane's father being held by an evil cult let by a guy with a glued-on Lincoln beard. Insane you say? Well isn't that half the fun with these early 80s martial arts flicks? We'll walk you through each scene of this inc…

The movie that divided many couples over the last 16 years. This movie has been roasted to a crisp before, but we've been waiting for our chance to take a crack at Twilight just to see what all the fuss is about. Is it truly the abomination that some have made it out to be? Well, only if you don't like 30 second stare downs between sentences, glitt…

The summer of 97 was filled with fisherman chasing hot chicks with hooks so this was more of a documentary. Jennifer Love Hewitt and Sarah Michelle Gellar tried to help their hot idiot boyfriends get away from the killer that they thought was dead! Do you love this movie, or has it aged as well as your pictures from the 90s? SUPPORT US ON PATREON T…

A tiny doll continues his reign of terror against unsuspecting people that are five times his size. It's honestly impressive how Chucky (Brad Dourif) is able to have success as a pint-sized murderer! This sequel sees him once again chasing down Andy and trying to get out of the doll body that has become his prison. Will he be successful, and is the…

A cult classic that was hammered by critics and split audiences has made its way onto many people's annual Halloween movie rotations. But does it deserve that status? It features an crazy performance by Matthew Lillard, a typically vapid Shannon Elizabeth, all while Tony Shalhoub wanderst the halls of this glass house wondering how he every made it…

This zombie virus just doesn't make zombies, but it makes giant mutants with leather fetishes and rocket launchers. Heck it can even raise the long dead resting in cemetaries - but can it raise our excitement level? Milla Jovovich hey finally start to work in some video game characters, we see you game-accurate Jill Valentine, but does any of it ma…

It's the second Police Academy movie, but it's their first assignment, but they already have assignments - my head already hurts. Steve Guttenberg and the gang are back in the first sequel of six, because why let something die when you can milk it for every dollar! A beloved classic of the 80s and many late night watching on Comedy Central - but do…

Against our better judgement, we gave Bob control over the voicemail machine and he went to town. We touch on dead franchises, Jason joining Fast & Furious, and deal with the masses demanding a Twilight episode this Halloween. There's all that and so much more as people take shots at Bob and Curt almost chokes on his drink when we give Mel a new ni…

James and Nicole to talk everything with Chelsea Field from how she started in the business, what role Masters of the Universe (Teela) and Cannon Films played in her breaking through, whether or not Arnold Schwarzenegger is cool, and shares a story about her experiences on set of the Last Boy Scout. Also, as one former and in Nicole's case, current…

There are bad movies, and there are movies so terrible that they transcend the entire genre and end up as mysterious relics to be studied by future generations. Not to take the name of another brilliant podcast, but HOW DID THIS GET MADE? Jerry Lewis and Madeline Kahn star as throbbing-foreheaded space twins in this movie that defies description. J…

The Russians have invaded, well at least one Russian and a bunch of non-descript terrorists and they are causing trouble nationwide! Will the police stop them? No, unfortunately there isn't a single cop available in the entire country, so we have to call in America's last hope, Matt Hunter aka Chuck Norris. Those he doesn't take down, he'll glare a…

It's been a long time since we've had a mailbag, but now that we are all settled into the new studio it's time to get back to answering your emails and voicemails, like what would make Mt. Rushmore if you combined Arnie and Sly's filmography? How did a listeners wife respond when being forced to watch The Mummerman, and which hosts' kid are we wait…

Without John Goodman, they never could have made a Flintstones movie, so does that mean we blame him for this or praise him for this? There's plenty of people on both sides of the fence on whether or not this a Yabba-Dabba-Doo time or just a Doo-Doo time. Even our own hosts can't agree if this is an all time classic or an epic misfire. Time to head…

Time to ride some warp whistles right back to the late 80s to California for Video Game Armageddon! Some called it a 2 hour commercial for Nintendo, and while that's hard to argue, does this movie have some heart at it's core that makes it even more than that? We follow Fred Savage as he tries to get his brother to the ultimate video game tournamen…

When Tim Burton hung up the directors hat and handed it over to Joel Schumacher, no one really knew what to expect. What we got was a Batman movie that was very different, but was it bad? There are people who will defend Batman Forever until the ends of the Earth and there are some who still aren't over the toy-selling tone of this movie. It's time…

This movie has more one-liners than a Rodney Dangerfield set, while still having insane action and peak-form Bruce Willis, so why did it fail? It didn't connect with critics and was an absolute disaster behind the scenes. It's one of those movies people remember but rarely talk about - so it's time to go back and see if Last Boy Scout deserves to b…

Yo Joe! It's time to revisit the divisive live-action debut of the long-running GI Joe cartoon series. Plenty of long-time fans felt that the movie absolutely failed to accurately bring them to the big screen, while others thought it was a fun popcorn flick to be enjoyed with their brains turned off. So let's look back on it and determine whether o…

Even if you've never seen it, we are going to walk you through this Kris Kristofferson action movie, starring Jan Michael Vincent as his brother who was just looking for someone to clean up their small town. Who was terrorizing their town? Just the regular miners and dock workers! They put the wrong person in charge, and things get out of hand in t…

Considered by some as one of the quintessential buddy cop movies of the 80s, but destroyed by critics as an absolute mess. It's time to stroll down memory lane with Tango & Cash to see if the Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell-led comedy belongs in the Stone Age, or is an absolute banger. SUPPORT US ON PATREON TO HELP US CONTINUE THESE SHOWS AND B…
