Bad Movies Rule!

The day has finally come — we're diving deep into Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, the over-the-top sequel that brought back the world's most unhinged pet detective for jungle chaos, sacred bats, rhino disguises, and plenty of "alrighty then" energy. James is joined by Steph (fresh off baby #3), Curt, and Rachel for a wild scene-by-scene breakdown full of laughs, heated debates on Jim Carrey dialed to 11, nostalgia trips, physical comedy gold, and our signature awards (including a record-breaking result in the Trash Can Full of Dirt). Thanks to patron James Gamache for going Full Dudikoff and picking this movie!

Expect monk meditations, tribal tests, monster truck chases, and way too much discussion about that rhino scene. Whether you're a die-hard fan who quotes this daily or coming in fresh, this one's a riot.

As a special bonus today we are dropping a surprise episode of GMR for everyone to enjoy!

Join James and the full original cast from the Haylofters 2018 production of Noises Off for a very special "Good Movies Rule!" reunion episode! Rob King, Julie Schmitt, Jesse, Sherry, and Tara dive deep into the 1992 film starring Michael Caine, Carol Burnett, Christopher Reeve, and John Ritter — while swapping hilarious stories from staging the chaotic backstage farce eight years ago.

From sardines and slamming doors to pantomime mayhem in Act 2, prop table destruction, underwear quick-changes, and that unforgettable "Oh my God!" moment, this is a love letter to community theater, the magic (and stress) of live performance, and why this play-within-a-play still cracks us up. Expect plenty of nostalgia, favorite bits, theater war stories, and our signature awards.

If you've ever been in a show that felt like it was falling apart in the best way possible, this one's for you. Grab the popcorn (and maybe some sardines) and join the BMRmy!

Listen now — and if a local theater near you is doing Noises Off, go see it live. You won't regret it.

Nico Toscani is a Chicago cop with a mysterious CIA past, a ponytail in progress, and a serious allergy to anyone thinking they're above the law — especially when that includes corrupt feds, mobsters, and a certain knife-wielding villain with a face that looks borrowed. Steven Seagal's debut vehicle mixes gritty cop drama, over-the-top action, and enough plot twists to make you wonder if the script was written by committee… or butter injections.

In this week's episode, James, Dave, Bob, and Mel dive scene-by-scene into Seagal's first big swing. They break down the wild Vietnam backstory, the legendary car hood ride, the church bombing, bodega brawls, and that unforgettable "keep the change, you filthy animal" cameo. Expect plenty of laughs at the hair, the flips, the running form, the shoe throw, and whether this is peak early Seagal or the beginning of the end.

They also hand out the awards (including a rare tie for the Will Patton), debate if this is a "bad movie that rules" or just straight-up bad, and wonder what Arnold or Kurt Russell could've done with the same material. Plus: Pam Grier in the car, Sharon Stone with random babies, and why this movie feels like three different films fighting for dominance.
