Bad Movies Rule!

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 to see if it really deserves it's terrible reputation. Kevin Black, Jamie Lee Curtis, Cate Blanchett and Jack Black all signed onto what they though would be their next franchise, and here we pick pu the pieces of the aftermath.

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-handed legend, all while battling Deadites and his own colossal ego. Was this movie a misunderstood gem of B-movie brilliance, or just a skeleton army-sized disaster? Featuring chainsaw etiquette tips, questionable 1300s science, and the ultimate answer to whether Bruce Campbell’s chin alone can carry a franchise.

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 that mean it deserves its spot or has it been horribly overrated by Gen X?

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 puns, and a Larry Drake performance for the ages!

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 meant that it has stood the test of time. So it's time to see if National Treasure and Nic Cage are still deserving of being considered national treasures.

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 dominance at the movie chains, but there is still a lot of fun to be had with this one. Michael Rooker, Robert Duvall round out a great cast and it even has the bad guy from Ghost. What more could you want?

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 incredibly realistic adventure. Just as long as you're ready to leave reality behind.

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, glittery vampires and the worst baseball scene in movie history. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart took us on a ride, but did we end up anywhere that was worth going?

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!

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 journey worth of being called a bad movie that rules?

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 into this movie.

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 make for a better Resident Evil movie?

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!

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 nickname.

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. Just watch it. I DARE YOU. Or you can just listen to us walk you through it and spare yourself the pain.

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 at them until they give up willingly. Is this a classic of the 1980s, or has nostalgia clouded our judgement?
