We're kicking off 2019 by looking at the film you voted as the worst of last year, it's 2018's "Wikipedia page of a movie" Gotti! We're talking its inability to focus on plot points of any sort, incoherent flip-flopping timelines and the film's weird-as-hell portrayal of amoral murderer Gotti as a beloved folk hero.
Also featured: the film's aggro marketing tactics, what it's like in mobster heaven and the results of our mob movie cliche game Bada-bingo are finally revealed! Strap on your concrete shoes and take a trip to the greatest fuckin' city in the world, this one ain't no Godfather!

Episode 72 - Jack Frost
We're wrapping up the year by unwrapping a real lump of coal
with 1997's abominable comedy-horror Jack Frost! We're talking the flagrant
false advertising of the front cover, the protagonist's absolute idiot kid of a
son, THAT shower scene and all the bizarre "zany" music soundtracking
this snowman schlock-fest's death scenes.
Also, we reveal the ballot for our Worst of 2018 episode for
next year!

Episode 71 - Samurai Cop
We take a trip into the seedy underbelly of 90s filmmaking
with the Z-grade trash of 1991's Samurai Cop. If you know, you know but for
those unfamiliar with the flick in question, it's 90 minutes of awful dialogue,
atrocious editing, sped up car chases and fight scenes and the worst wig you've
ever seen in a film!
We also touch on the Katana Gang's bad human resources
department, why the film seems to be made by 8 year olds, and the plot's
bizarre short-term memory, Memento-style case of amnesia.

Episode 70 - Body of Evidence
We venture back into the mad world of erotic thrillers with the
dreadfully dull Madonna sex vehicle Body of Evidence! We're talking the film's
insistence on dreary courtroom scenes over nudity and intercourse, the
hilariously buttoned up depictions of kinky sex, shagging people to death and
beaucoup cocaine usage along the way!
Wednesday, 26 September 2018
Episode 68 - Johnny Mnemonic
Narrow the bandwidth, go low-rent! We're jackin' in to the
campy 1995 tech thriller Johnny Mnemonic to talk about a future where sideburns
don't exist, the internet is a place you can visit and USB sticks seemingly
haven't been invented.
Also: more dated 90s tech speak, Henry Rollins' acting inability
and the John Wick crossover you never knew you didn't want!

Episode 67 - On Deadly Ground
We're going green this episode with the eco-friendly ego
trip of Comrade Seagal's directorial debut: 1994's On Deadly Ground! We talk
its heavy-handed environmentalism, Michael Caine's incredibly wobbly
"American" accent and unlock the mystery behind one of Pulp Fiction's
greatest mysteries in the process (yes, really!)
Also, Seagal behind the scenes and Vid Neg Literary Corner
returns, as Dan reads excerpts from the alt-right, anti-immigrant Deep State
novel penned by the man himself!

Episode 66 - Ed
We're back, stepping up to the plate to take on the
absolutely criminal, no-joke baseball comedy ED! We're talking director Bill
Couterie's background in socio-political war documentaries, the film's obsession
with farting, shitting and other bodily functions, the strange placement of
race, masturbation and gay panic jokes in this supposed kids' film and a theory
that this whole mess actually takes place in an Inception-style dreamscape!
Saturday, 2 June 2018
Episode 65 - Godzilla
In this episode, we're rampaging all over Roland Emmerich's
snooze-fest monster remake, it's 1998's Godzilla! We touch on the film's
terrible soundtrack, the total lack of star power, Matthew
Broderick-as-leading-man (nope), and the laughable idea that a 300 foot lizard
could go missing.
Also, irritating comic relief from EVERYONE, and we get
flummoxed by the fact no one in New York seems to be all that bothered by a
marauding, nuclear-enhanced monster.

Episode 64 - Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot
Calling all cars! We're back to talk through one of 1992's
most infamous shockers and Sylvester Stallone's self-appointed worst film, it's
the all-round Oedipal nightmare Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot.
First at scene of the crime, we're discussing the highly
disobedient mother and her ever-increasing rap sheet, the creepiest line we've
ever heard on the show, one of the crappiest bad guys in film history, and the
story of how Arnie trolled Stallone into signing up to be in this whole mess of
a non-movie.
Also: an IMDB review reveals that the film's screenwriter
didn't even follow his own rules when he penned the script, and we reveal a
massive cinema stinker for the next episode!

Episode 62 - Last Action Hero
On this installment, we're taking down the ultra-meta,
kiddie-film-action-parody mess Last Action Hero! We get into the film's
interminably slow pacing, its incongruous references to cop-killing, drug
dealers and premature ejaculation, the complete waste of its central concept,
and delve into the infamous bomb's troubled production, included a phantom test
screening which may or may not have actually happened.
Also, we discuss how much better this film would be if it was just Charles Dance correcting everyone's grammar as well as his attempt to assemble a squad of famous movie villains; a late-in-the-film conceit that's woefully mishandled by the movie.

Episode 61 - The Emoji Movie
After a long hiatus, we're back with the film you voted for
as the worst of 2017, it's the Candy-Crushingly dull, glorified app advert The
Emoji Movie!
We're running through the intelligence insulting plot, the
fact that every beat of the film is explained ad nauseam, crass consumerism and
the film's near-obsession with weirdly out of date references to 2006. Expect a
total character assassination of TJ Miller while we're at it too!

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.
Don't forget to cast your vote for our Worst Film of 2017

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).

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.
Saturday, 27 May 2017
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!
