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 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. Go here if you're interested: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/old-times

Episode 31 - Captain America
Seen Civil War? Liked it? Good for you, just be glad you
didn't have to watch Cap's 1990 affair, the appropriately and inventively
titled Captain America. Vid Neg's latest episode sees the gang focus their
rockets' red glare on the film's misguided machine gun slaughters, Steve
Rodgers' less than heroic (criminal) tendencies as the eponymous character, and
a twenty minute sojourn in Rome - all as the world is about to end (or some
shit). Also featured, an infomercial for history's greatest speeches, and is
Sam, the conspiracy theorist-obsessed journalist, responsible for all of the
world's tragedies? By the dawn's early light, don't miss out on this one!
