Bad Movies Rule!

When a band can’t get their demo played, there’s only one logical solution—take a radio station hostage. Airheads (1994) follows three starving rockers armed with water guns and zero brain cells as they stumble their way into the most chaotic publicity stunt ever. Brendan Fraser, Steve Buscemi, and Adam Sandler play the The Lone Rangers (yes, I know), and somehow, they’re still not the dumbest people in the room. Does it rock? Does it bomb? Either way, it’s gonna get loud.

What’s the best way to stop an asteroid from destroying Earth? According to Armageddon (1998), it’s training oil drillers to be astronauts. Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck, and a team of blue-collar misfits blast off to save the world with power tools, slow-motion walks, and lots of jump cuts. It’s big, loud, and completely ridiculous—just how Michael Bay likes it. Does it stand up to the test of time? Let’s fire up the Aerosmith and find out.

The last few weeks have been a blast, but also has brought with it some controversy as the last few episodes have people in their feelings.

Snoogans! Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is what happens when two foul-mouthed stoners go on a cross-country road trip to stop Hollywood from ruining their comic book alter egos. It’s got everything—cameos, fourth-wall breaks, a chimp sidekick, and more inside jokes than a Kevin Smith fan convention. The plot barely matters, but who cares when the movie is this ridiculous? Is it dumb? Absolutely. Is it hilarious? Also yes. So grab some snacks (you know the kind) and join us for a deep dive into this absurd cult classic.

Everyone listens to this episode, and no one quits. Would you like to know more? Starship Troopers (1997) is part sci-fi action, part satire, and all-out bug-squashing ridiculousness. The future is bright if you love propaganda, giant alien insects, and soldiers who look like they just walked off a soap opera set. It’s got over-the-top action, questionable military strategy, and dialogue so stiff it has to be government-issued.

The Griswolds are back, and this time, they’re taking on Sin City. Vegas Vacation (1997) throws Clark, Ellen, and the kids into a whirlwind of bad bets, worse luck, and Cousin Eddie being… well, Cousin Eddie. Clark gets hooked on gambling, Rusty turns into a high-rolling con man, and somehow, Wayne Newton tries to steal Ellen. It’s chaotic, ridiculous, and proof that maybe the Griswolds should just stay home.

It started with DVD players and street races—who knew it would lead to cars in space? The Fast and the Furious (2001) gave us 4 minute nitrous-fueled drag races, and Vin Diesel growling about family before it was a meme. Paul Walker plays an LAPD officer trying to bust a gang of high-speed criminals but ends up in a bromance with Dom Toretto instead. It’s got muscle cars, bad decisions, and dialogue that shifts harder than a tricked-out Civic.

Welcome to the future—where prisons are just islands full of murderers, and Ray Liotta is not having it. No Escape (1994) throws a disgraced Marine onto a lawless island, where survival means teaming up with the good convicts to fight the really bad ones. It’s part Mad Max, part Lord of the Flies, and all ‘90s action insanity. With explosions, jungle warfare, and one-liners delivered at maximum intensity, this movie asks: What if Cast Away had way more knives?

When the system fails, Frank Castle takes matters—and a whole lot of ammo—into his own hands. The Punisher (2004) delivers explosions, revenge, and enough brooding to last a lifetime. Thomas Jane brings the pain, John Travolta brings the overacting, and somewhere in between, there’s a popsicle torture scene we’re still trying to figure out. Is it the gritty revenge flick we needed, or just two hours of Castle frowning in a leather vest? Let’s break it down, one bullet at a time.

A magical scroll, a kung fu monk, and Sean William Scott—what could go wrong? In Bulletproof Monk, a centuries-old warrior teams up with a pickpocket to save the world from bad guys who really want that scroll. It’s got gravity-defying stunts, a plot full of holes, and dialogue that’ll make you cringe. But somehow, it’s still weirdly fun. Join us as we unpack this mix of kung fu, comedy, and early 2000s chaos.

What do ninjas, aerobics, and supernatural possession have in common? Absolutely nothing. In Ninja III: The Domination, a ninja’s spirit takes over an aerobics instructor, turning her into a vengeance machine and she starts taking cops out like it's her day job. It’s wall-climbing, sword-swinging chaos with a side of ‘80s cheese. Does it make sense? Nope. Is it awesome? You bet.

What happens when the government plays matchmaker with alien DNA? You get Species, a movie where the science is shaky, the decisions are worse, and the alien just wants to settle down and start a family—by any means necessary. Sil is on the loose, and it’s up to a team of scientists, a mercenary, and a guy who “feels vibes” to track her down. Spoiler: they’re not great at their jobs. Is it scary? Kind of. Is it ridiculous? Absolutely. Is it entertaining? You bet. So grab a seat, and let’s dig into one of the wildest sci-fi thrillers of the decade.

You may think that you're the heroes of this little adventure, but you're not. Borderlands, when it was released, was met with a firestorm of negativity from fans of the game to general audience members that even people who have never seen it assume it's terrible. Here, we amass a small group of people, some who played the games and some who didn't to see if it really deserves it's terrible reputation. Kevin Black, Jamie Lee Curtis, Cate Blanchett and Jack Black all signed onto what they though would be their next franchise, and here we pick pu the pieces of the aftermath.

Hail to the king, baby! This week, we’re cracking open the Necronomicon (but definitely saying the words properly) to dive into Army of Darkness. Sam Raimi’s third entry in the Evil Dead series is equal parts slapstick comedy, medieval nonsense, and epic one-liners. Join us as we unpack Ash’s journey from a mundane retail employee to chainsaw-handed legend, all while battling Deadites and his own colossal ego. Was this movie a misunderstood gem of B-movie brilliance, or just a skeleton army-sized disaster? Featuring chainsaw etiquette tips, questionable 1300s science, and the ultimate answer to whether Bruce Campbell’s chin alone can carry a franchise.

Two idiots pretending their boss isn't dead so they can talk to chicks and drink free alcohol. That about sums up the plot, but somehow this movie has stood the test of time and is widely considered a classic by many children of the 80s. The movie proves that a surprising amount of comedy can be wrung out from even the thinest of premises, but does that mean it deserves its spot or has it been horribly overrated by Gen X?

It's a box many remember seeing on Blockbuster shelves back in the 90s, but only the brave actually took Dr. Giggles home and watched it. What they got was an insane movie about a doctor-pun spewing escaped mental patient who collects hearts to perform his own unecessary surgies. What's not to love? Ridiculous moments, horrible acting, fantastic puns, and a Larry Drake performance for the ages!
