Bad Movies Rule!

Lake Placid (1999) unleashes a giant man-eating crocodile on a sleepy Maine lake—where Bill Pullman, Bridget Fonda, Brendan Gleeson, and Betty White face off against teeth, tail whips, and a plot that’s all bite and no brains! This ‘90s creature feature mixes cheesy effects, one-liners, and a monster that’s more snack than scare. Is this a cult classic or total trash?

In this fiery mailbag episode, James, Ryan, and the crew kick off with off-key singing, Parcheesi invites, and a deep dive into frozen pizza nostalgia—from stacking Jack's pizzas to debating Roma vs. Tombstone. Things heat up literally when they open listener mail featuring "Flaming Anus" chocolate infused with Carolina Reaper peppers, leading to hilarious reactions, hiccups, and James's epic meltdown (spoiler: it builds for minutes!). Listeners chime in with voicemails spotting wires in Space Truckers and emails praising exposition in classics like Star Wars, Terminator, Pulp Fiction, and Raiders of the Lost Ark, while pitching wild ideas like an R-rated Home Alone on Purge Night. A passionate Avatar defense highlights its worldbuilding parallels to Lord of the Rings, plus suggestions for movies like If Looks Could Kill and Dead Alive. The gang tackles Seagal's Aikido roots, age-gap debates in films like Summer School, and fan faves including The Crow, The Island, Toy Soldiers, and Hackers. Weather reports from chilly callers, Discord shoutouts, and closing banter round out the chaos—proving bad movies (and spicy mail) rule!

Rhinestone (1984) pairs Sylvester Stallone and Dolly Parton in a fish-out-of-water country music comedy—where a tough New York cabbie tries to become a star with a little help from a Nashville queen! This ‘80s gem mixes bad singing, big hair, and a plot as sparkly as a rhinestone jacket. Is this a cult classic or total trash?

In this lively mailbag episode, James, Clint, and a freshly trimmed Ryan Mattila dive into listener emails and voicemails, kicking things off with a brand-new theme song shoutout. Fans share spooky childhood stories tied to Halloween 3's Silver Shamrock jingle, debate Minnesota sports woes, and pitch movie picks like Crimson Tide for good films, The Others for horror, and The Warrior and the Sorceress for bad movie gems. The crew laughs over near-divorce tales from introducing Tank Girl to spouses, explores if The Godfather trilogy still reigns as the ultimate "man's movie" compared to modern action flicks, and breaks down the entire Rambo series in hilarious detail. Rants fly about Avatar's box office billions (with calls for fraud investigations), Beastmaster 2's wild plot holes and time-travel absurdities, Snyder fan frustrations, and even a quick history lesson on Quaaludes. Weather reports from chilly callers, movie mash-up ideas like Dawn of the Dead meets Mallrats, and deep dives into Airheads' concert logistics round out the chaos—plus, plenty of banter about basement floggings, affirmation rocks, and why time might just be washing over us all.

This ‘90s sci-fi romp mixes zero-gravity fights, bad accents, and a plot as bumpy as an asteroid field. Is this a cult classic or total trash?
