Episode 60 - Jack Frost

We're wrapping up 2017 with the mercilessly depressing "kids' film" and decidedly un-Christmas-y Christmas film, it's 1998's Jack Frost. We're talking terrible parenting out the wazoo, the likely shelf-life of Michael Keaton's Christmas-themed band, dispatches from Henry Rollins' spoken word and the film's complete and utter lack of a second act.

Episode 59 - Highlander 2: The Quickening

Sequel Season draws to a close with a film considered to be one of the worst of all time, it's 1991's Highlander 2: The Quickening! We're talking its tenuous grasp on the concept of immortality, 16th century television screens and some of the most unbelievably sloppy filmmaking we've seen.

Also, Sean Connery gets stuck at an airport, and we investigate #TeamHighlander2 as part of a fanboy's IMDB review.

Episode 58 - Anaconda

Sequel Season is on hold, we're getting in the mood for All Hallow's Eve with our fan-voted Halloween special, it's 1997's Anaconda!

We're talking Jon Voight's horrific accent and red t-shirt, the lack of actual horror in this so-called horror film, Owen Wilson's 'wow'-heavy performance, god-awful CGI and - somebody call the fun police - we read out possibly the most humourless IMDB review ever.

Plenty of snake-charming and career-harming in this one, settle down and get spooky in time for the 31st!

Episode 57 - Speed 2

Jan De Bont's attempt to rock the boat has made us seasick; we're getting to grips with part two of Sequel Season, it's 1997's slow-as-molasses misfire Speed 2: Cruise Control!

We're talking Sandra Bullock's lobotomy between this and Speed 1, whether Willem Dafoe makes a good bad guy, the grindingly slow "action" on screen, and UB40's guest appearance as the whole films runs aground with unlikeable characters, dull set-pieces and more VNP Hall of Famers you can shake a stick at.

Think worse things have happened at sea? You owe it to yourself to hear us talk through this sequel snoozer. 

Episode 56 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret of the Ooze

Reeking of development hell, Sequel Season finally arrives a whole two months after being announced, and what a doozy we're beginning with, it's 1991's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret of the Ooze!

We get confused and confounded over which Turtle is which, and talk the film's utterly useless antagonists, Splinter's horny side, endless plot points that go nowhere and the glorious return of Vid Neg alum Vanilla Ice and his on-the-spot improv skills with a line-by-line reading of the majesty that is the Ninja Rap!

Also, pro wrestler Kevin Nash's star turn as Super Shredder gets a look in and we reveal the next film as part of the season, one with a whopping 3% on Rotten Tomatoes! Tune in to find out what it is!

Video Negative x One Good Thing - The Wicker Man '06

The second of this summer's bonus episodes sees Oliver join forces with podcast chums One Good Thing to take on the flash-backing, back-tracking madness of 2006's infamous The Wicker Man!

Nic Cages makes an unwelcome return to the show as we interlock the Director's and Theatrical cuts in an attempt to uncover the one good thing about this crappy cult classic. We're talking the films' endlessly useless plot points, complete dearth of terror or suspense, and the somewhat overstated (and overrated) madness of Nic Cage (which makes up about 2% of this hellishly dull retread of a remake).

Music Video Negative 2 ft. Aerosmith, Was (Not Was) & Smash Mouth!

Tim's on holiday, so Dan and Ol reconvene for this bonus episode to cover songs/music videos from a few films previously featured on the show. Inspired by our friends That Awful Sound, we're talking Aerosmith's I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing (Armageddon), Was Not Was's Walk the Dinosaur (Flintstones & Super Mario Bros) and last but by no means least Smash Mouth's All Star (Inspector Gadget)!

Featured within: Richie Sambora's risque facial hair, Was Not Was's hidden anti-nuclear war agenda and of course, the insane All Star renaissance and accompanying memedom surrounding Smash Mouth's most (in)famous song!

Episode 55 - Hudson Hawk

We don't know what it is about Bruce Willis films that make us choose to review them, but the Willie Man is back to bless us with his fifth appearance on the show, it's the self-proclaimed "funniest action-adventure comedy ever", 1991's Hudson Hawk.

Pegged as one the decade's worst, we're talking the film's rampant stereotyping and xenophobia, an insanely overcooked and convoluted plot, and perhaps the most ill-conceived rape joke ever.

Also: desperate attempts by ourselves to get a Seagram's Wine Cooler sponsorship, and an ultimatum to never watch a Bruce Willis film on this show again, and we reveal the first film in our brand new season of episodes!

Episode 54 - Pokemon 2000

A wild crappy film appears! With the summer film season in full swing, we revisit the sophomore slump of 1999's Pokemon 2000(?)

We're talking the franchise's waning popularity, the film's insistence on not naming its main villain, lousy dialogue rife with exposition and its decision to not focus on Pikachu. Also: a noble yet pointless comparison to Italian neo-realism, fanboy reviews out the wazoo and a familiar face appears as our next film is revealed.

Big hate in this one. Don't miss it!

Episode 53 - Inspector Gadget

"Doo-doo-do-do-doo, shit-ty mo-vie". Cool As Ice director David Kellogg returns to helm his second (and final) film as we discuss the 1999 techno-turd hack job Inspector Gadget!

Clocking in at a stunningly short 68 minutes(!), we're talking obvious edits, Robocop comparisons, the Six Dollar Man's ridiculously invasive operation, and reveal what our own Go-Go gadgets would be and where they'd protrude from.

Also, Dan waxes lyrical over his hatred of Jimmy Fallon, we antagonise Smash Mouth via Twitter, and Tim reveals an absolute doozy of a film for our next episode that features some returning...voice actors? Tune in to find out what it is.

Episode 52 - Alien 3

On Itunes, no one can hear you scream - we're talking one of the '90s most infamously mistreated films, the "worst sequel in the history of cinema" and Nine Inch Nails music video lookalike Alien 3!

Production woes out the wazoo, careless continuity errors, and more baldy British blokes you can shake a stick at, we get to grips with behind the scenes shenanigans, more terrible CGI-assisted falls into lava and unlock the film's 90s equivalent of the Dark Side of the Moon/Wizard of Oz phenomenon.

Also, Tim gets enraged at a listeners' spoilers and perturbed by an episode of Ramsay's Hotel Hell, both of which ruined his viewing of the film, and the next episode's reveal brings back a Vid Neg alumni not seen since episode 6.

Chest-bursting with controversial opinions and unprofessionalism, check it out and leave us a review wherever you listen!

Episode 51 - The Flintstones

We're rolling into Bedrock for 1994's lacklustre live action romp, The Flintstones! The Vid Neg crew grapple with the gravel of this narratively lightweight, slavish retread, digging up some hidden gems along the way: stone-faced humour, director Brian Levant's hidden socialist agenda and the Flintstone family's pun-based musical tastes!

Also, we're wrapping our heads around a kids film with embezzlement subplots, lynchings, and antagonist suffocation along the way. Plenty of rubble, rubble, toil and trouble in this one, YABBA DABBA DOn't miss out!

Episode 50 - The Rock

Cage Against the Machine season comes to a close with its final part - and our 50th episode - it's 1996's The Rock!

We're treating ourselves for this milestone ep by reviewing something 2/3 of us actually like. Rest assured, things still get silly as we're talking the sourness of those VX balls, debunking the theory that Sean Connery's character is actually James Bond, more juicy 90s gay panic, and plotting this season's films on the Nicolas Cage Matrix to see how his craziness ranks up with the rest of his oeuvre.

Plenty of bang for your buck (it is Michael Bay after all), be sure to tune and help us celebrate our 50th in style.

Episode 49 - Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie

To commemorate the release of this year's Power Rangers Movie, we're taking a leak over your childhood memories, we're getting very, very angry over Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie!

What's with the undeservingly grand title this film is bestowed with? Why is EVERY. SINGLE. CHARACTER dumb as bricks? And what the hell is the deal with that goddamn ghost galleon?

Also: We're talking Justin's Blue Ranger resume, the film's obsession with characters falling from heights, its lack of understanding of how heat works, and the slackest continuity we've ever seen on the show.

Episode 48 - 8MM

Cage Against the Machine season - a run through of some of Nic Cage's worst 90s films - continues with Joel Schumacher's snuff film snore-fest, it's 1999's 8MM.

How dull can a film about hardcore murder porn be? What's with the Bollywood score playing through this film and is Joaquin Phoenix really this generation's greatest actor?

Also: Tim and Dan get into it over whether this film is actually tense (it's not), an insight into Troy Duffy's casting methods and we learn from several IMDB reviews that the movie isn't meant for little kids.

Episode 47 - Deadfall

We're kicking off our season of terrible 90s Nicolas Cage films with one of his craziest (dare we say UNCAGED) performances, it's 1993's con-caper-crapshoot Deadfall!

We're discussing your opinions on whether Nic Cage is actually a good actor, the least erotic sex scene in film history, the obvious "Tarantino quirks" of this post-Reservoir Dogs crime flick, THAT Sam Peckinpah reference, as well as Cage's own meditations on his "unique" acting style.

Forget Wicker Man, this is truly up there with the Cage man's most mental performances, so don't be a GREASY LITTLE NEPHEW, make sure you check this one out!

Episode 46 - She's All That

The podcast that loves to hate is back for their first ever Valentine's special, we're reviewing 1999's rom-com-prom-job She's All That!

We're talking taking off your glasses in the quest for hotness, drunken university memories, DJ Usher's less than stellar academic records, M. Night Shyamalan's topsy-turvy-twisty scripting, and just how much of a gosh-darn nerd Laney Boggs really is.

Love's in the air in this one, don't miss it!

Episode 45 - Junior

Back to business for us as we get down and dirty in the afterbirth of one of the 90s' most infamous films, it's 1994's bun-in-the-oven bungle JUNIOR!

Why does a film about a pregnant Arnie take itself so seriously? How did they forget to write any actual jokes? Is that resort for pregnant actually a sanitarium for the unwanted. Plus, just how woke does the Governator get in this film?

Don't miss it!

Episode 44 - Suicide Squad

We're kicking off 2017 with the film you voted as the worst of 2016 - the "nadir of big budget blockbusters" - it's the comically crap-tacular Suicide Squad!

Discussed within: dire plotting, paper thin characters, small stakes and a watered down, content-free cash grab devised by marketing suits and Yes men. We also talk Jared Leto's insufferable career, the Squad's WhatsApp group, and this nu-metal Joker's favourite bands and films. Plenty of #SquadGoals in this one, don't miss it!
