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 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!


And don't forget to cast your vote for our Worst of 2016 episode, not long til the polls close, so be sure to make your voice heard here: http://www.poll-maker.com/poll869740xBa9C482D-36

Episode 28 - Kazaam

Video Negative's first request episode of the new year sees them take on Shaq's second film Kazaam! Unprepared to watch the film alone, the gang view the film together and then give you their red hot take on this foul up of a film. Why does everyone scream in this film? What's with people falling from great heights and surviving? Does pizza make up for years of absenteeism, and what the hell is the deal with the cassette tape? Confused, unintelligible, needlessly complicated (and that's just our leading man), a hitherto unfounded love for Shaq does blossom through the episode however, so be sure to listen in!

Episode 17 - Mars Attacks

We land on barren fields in the Arizona plains, as the three teenagers from Mars (neither of those are true) take on Tim Burton's surprisingly rubbish sci-fi/disaster parody/homage/rush job Mars Attacks, the second in the Great Directors, Bad Films season. Why does it take forever for things to get going? Why is such a talented cast misused so badly? Just how scared of this film was Ol as a child and which all time classic film does he hate? All this and more on the latest episode of the Indescribable! Unbelievable! Indestructible! Video Negative Podcast.

Episode 13: Batman Forever

Who's afraid of the big black bat? The Video Negative Podcast aren't, but what they are afraid of is Jim Carrey's teeth-grindingly annoying performance as the Riddler, Tommy Lee Jones' awful turn as Two-Face and the Riddler's poorly explained mind control device. The gang return to whence they came, taking a look at Joel Schumacher's 1995 first caped crusader foray, Batman Forever. Where is the Riddler getting all his outfits from? Why does Robin do his laundry like that? Who decided that 'Intruder Alert' klaxon was acceptable? Also featured: Dan gives the others his tell-all account of when he met Val Kilmer at a film premiere. Plenty of bile rising in this one, don't miss out.
