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!

Episode 43 - Home Alone 3

It's that time again! Video Negative return to fill your sacks with plenty of Christmas cheer! Unwrapped and re-gifted this year is 1997's unnecessary Home Alone 3!

Featured on this episode: the logistics of getting your "thing" trapped by toilet seats, comparisons to an infamous 70s exploitation flick, the worst police force and FBI in cinema history and the results of the Worst Film of 2016 poll are finally revealed! Great fun for all the family, so roll a joint, sit back and get festive!

Episode 42 - Mallrats

The Vid Neg crew take a trip to New Jersey to review Kevin Smith's horrendously undercooked sophomore slump Mallrats. Open for business on this episode are rampant, wildly dated misogyny, some of the most uninventive filmmaking we've seen on the show and silly, scatological jokes out the wazoo.

Also: the most crowbarred-in (not to mention whitest) Hamilton reference you'll ever hear, how much Tim loved this film as a kid (to the point of copying Jay and Silent Bob) and Ol and Dan wax lyrical over their hatred of Kevin Smith himself!

Episode 41 - Color Of Night

*Warning: the following episode contains Bruce Willis penis discussion. You have been warned.*

Our boy Bruce returns for his fourth appearance on the show, as we get under the sheets with his batshit insane erotic thriller Color of Night. Co-starring Sexy's Jane March, we discuss the world's most untrustworthy therapists, a script written by someone with no understanding of mental illness, the pointless colour-blindness of our leading man, and what film of the Willy man's oeuvre best describes his dangling member.

Plus, a VNPeep challenges us to get in 10 penis jokes over the course of the episode. Do we succeed? Listen and find out!

Episode 40 - Halloween H20

"It's Halloween, everyone's entitled to their 275th jump scare". The deadliest coven on the internet reconvene for their Halloween special, a review of 1998's Halloween H20! (Is that description great for the old SEO or what?).

We talk inappropriate reactions to PTSD, the Michael/Mike Myers conundrum, L(adies) L(ove) Cool J(ames)'s incredible erotic literature and Tim theories whether the Haddonfield slasher is actually a reincarnated cat. Plus, Myers takes a hellacious 50 foot spill off a church balcony through a table, complete with commentary from good old Jim Ross himself. No tricks, just treats on our scarily good Halloween episode!

Plus, we're getting an early start on our end-of-year Worst Film of 2016 episode! Like last year, we're putting it to you, the VNPeeps, to decide which film we'll look at as our final episode of the year.

Episode 39 - The Lost World: Jurassic Park

Great Directors, Bad Films season 2 ends with a dino-sized bumper episode, it's Steven Spielberg's The Lost World: Jurassic Park! 

Is this so-called "decent classic" as good as you remember? Probably not, as the gang get to grips with disappearing characters, Jeff Goldblum's non-heroic starring role, the most laissez-faire reaction to a T-Rex rampage ever and how John Hammond is the real villain of the film.

Plus things get sexy with a fan-submitted story that dulled some senses and heightened others. Plenty to sink your teeth into on this en-raptor-ing episode. Don't miss out!

Episode 38 - Highball

Unhappy hour continues and all the misanthropes drink for free, it's part two of our Great Directors, Bad Films trilogy! We're looking at Tim's pick, the no-budget, shot-in-six-days shitshow, Highball, directed by Noah Baumbach.

The recipe for this instalment? It's simple - a splash of terrible characters, a dash of awful camerawork, two shots of shitty storytelling and a jigger of the most painfully unfunny screenwriting this side of North. Don't forget to give it a cyanide-salt rim if everything gets too much for you.

You don't want to miss this one! Woeful depictions of mental health, wannabe-Richard Linklater dialogue, terrible 90s gay panic jokes and one member of the show gets very angry indeed. The strongest of strong language in this one, you've been warned!
