Wednesday Jun 05, 2019
In their debut episode, Dan and Aaron tackle the stunt-packed box office disaster that is, Waterworld. Arguably the first film to suffer pre-release internet wrath, we dig into the troubled production and learn a few neat tidbits along the way. But what could there possible be to like about a movie that opens with the protagonist drinking his own urine? Surprisingly a lot! Climb aboard to learn more about the bizarre twisted tale that is, 1995's Waterworld and why it may deserve a second chance. Nothing's free in Waterworld, but this podcast is.

Love it or hate it, you've no doubt had Dana Carvey's Turtle Guy burned into your memory from 2002's The Master of Disguise. But does this chaotic mess of a film really deserve the abysmal 1% it sits at on the Tomatometer? Dan and Aaron don't think so, and are willing to bet that they can give you a fresh perspective on this bizarre little comedy.

In Defense of Gigli

Buckle up for Bennifer! Dan and Aaron attempt the impossible: defending 2003's Gigli. A film so misguided, so tonally confused, so offensive, and so over-long that it could be used in psychological warfare. Is there really anything to take away from this mess besides a headache and a deep rooted sorrow for humanity? The answer might surprise you. Come along for the toughest challenge yet. It's turkey time!

In Defense of The Emoji Movie

Imagine a movie entirely based on Emojis. Now imagine that your lead character is the physical embodiment of "Meh". Now imagine that movie bloated with product placement deals. Sounds like a drag, right? On this episode Dan and Aaron discuss the twisty tale of the Emoji movie, review embargo's, product placement, and the ongoing litigation of one T.J. Miller. I guess if you're going to make a movie about Emoji's this is how you do it?
Be sure to send us your favorite emoji combinations!

In Defense of The Love Guru

Wednesday Jul 10, 2019
After blazing his way through the Austin Powers trilogy and the Shrek trilogy (at the time) many were asking, "what will Mike Myers do next?" Well, this bizarre, zany, offensive, and often perverse comedy was the answer, and if the ratings are anything to go by, it wasn't what anybody had hoped for. But is there anything in The Love Guru worth redeeming? Dan and Aaron travel back to 2008 to seek inner peace. Mariska Hargitay!

In Defense of Battlefield Earth

Wednesday Jul 17, 2019
You knew this was coming. It's impossible to talk about legendarily bad movies without eventually mentioning John Travolta's epic Sci-Fi misfire, Battlefield Earth. Dutch angles, terrible special effects, Scientology, George Lucas, - there's a lot to unpack here. But for all this, does Battlefield Earth manage to deserve "so bad it is good" status? Or is it truly as bad as people say it is? Dan and Aaron put their rat brains to the test!
