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!

Episode 37 - The Island of Dr. Moreau

Great Directors, Bad Films 2 kicks off with one of the 90s most infamous flops: John Frankenheimer's The Island of Dr. Moreau. A tale of deceit, hubris, and weird looking humanoids (and that's just the troubled production), the gang get to grips with Marlon Brando's enormous ego, as well as his vast waistline, Val Kilmer's prima donna demands, and the titular Dr. Moreau's choice wardrobe decisions. Plenty of insane behind the scenes stuff in this one, don't miss out!

Episode 36 - Suburban Commando

Perhaps time has mellowed them, or they're just feeling sorry for the shell of a man Hulk Hogan has become but when the Vid Neg crew take on the Hulkster's infamous 1991 comedy Suburban Commando, they don't have much to get angry about.

Rest assured though, we still take aim at the terrible Star Wars/Back to the Future references the film's obsessed with, Hogan's one-note wooden acting and the slack plotting that's just all over the place. Plus, The Hulk Hogan True or False Quiz returns to put Dan's knowledge of Sir Hulk of Hogan to the test, touching on voiceover work, penis length and much more. Plenty of strutting and promo cutting in this one, don't miss it!

Episode 35 - Mortal Kombat: Annihilation

Video Game Negative reaches its final stage, as the boys take on the incredibly awful beat 'em up sequel Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. Could this be the most formulaic film ever made? Would you believe $30 million dollars could produce "special" effects so laughable? How harrowing can a film that yells its own name be? 

Plus, we read out your thoughts, opinions and experiences of the franchise, the film gets a startling comparison to a David Fincher film, and it comes down to a bloody, brutal game of Rock, Paper, Scissors to decide the next episode's film.

Episode 34 - Street Fighter: The Movie

The gang are back for round 2 of their Video Game Negative season, and it's a big one, the infamous Street Fighter: The Movie. A knockout or a defeat? Tune in to find out. Featuring a nefarious plot to restore the value of the pound, serial killer paintings, bad guy PR agencies and much, much more. Check it out!

Episode 33 - Super Mario Bros: The Movie

It was only a matter of time before the Vid Neg crew got to grips with one of cinema's stinkiest, the infamous Super Mario Bros: The Movie. Anger is always the order of the day on this show, but hoo boy, do the gang get riled up in this one. Their live tweeting was only a taste of things to come. Just what is this film? Why did the filmmakers turn one of the most beloved franchises into some weird Mad Max/David Lynch fever dream? What's with the portrayal of plumbing as some sort of action-packed, danger-filled endeavour? And why is this film nothing like the game? Fuck it, the hosts get seriously pissed off in this one. Don't miss out!

Episode 32 - Predator 2

You are about to witness the strength of street knowledge. The Vid Neg crew return to the City of Angels to take on 1990's Predator 2. A bit more discussion based than previous episodes (which means it's even less funny than usual), we tackle the racial undertones of Pred's character design, bemoan the lack of Gary Busey madness and Dan confesses his undying love for Bill Paxton. One character's choice of attire enrages an IMDB reviewer and we give a shout out to a fledgling indie film looking for you help.
