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!

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 63 - Space Jam
We're lacing up our newest pair of Air Jordans and dunking on a film we really ought to have done a long time, it's 1996's Space Jam!
We discuss director Joe Pytka's Wikipedia page and how he doesn't want people thinking he made this film, the flagrant-rule breaking that occurs during the big game (including people getting shot), the film's obviously padded out runtime, and how absolutely no one is surprised by the appearance of some of the world's most iconic cartoon characters.
Also Dan gets confused by Muggsy Bogues, and reveals an absolute stinker of a film 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
