  • Big old bowl of laugh

    Started listening to the podcast last year and not stop, even went back to listen to older episodes and listen to how much the podcast has evolved. It’s amazing the laugh I have had listening to movies I grew up with some I have never heard about before. Brings a smile to my face after have a bad day and I have many.

  • The Movies May Be Bad, But the Podcast is Great!

    I remember about 3 years ago stumbling upon BMR while doomscrolling on Facebook. I got mad when I saw they called one of my favorite childhood movies bad. So naturally I went to that episode (The Lost World) and listened to it. I laughed so much at the banter from the hosts that it made me listen to more. James (main host) does the lord’s work on wrangling the hosts and trying to keep them on track, some days are better than others haha. The rotating cast of the other hosts makes each episode fe... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mailbag: Battlefield Earth Ruined My Marriage
Q: What counts as a comedy for your review slate, and how broad should your scope be?
The hosts argue that comedy is broad and may include films with comedic elements or those that blend genres; the core is how the humor lands and the potential discussion around the film, not simply whether it is laugh-out-loud funny.
Gregory Snegoff: From Godan in SHE to Robotech Legend & Real-Life Adventurer
Q: Is there any chance of a live-action Robotech, and what needs to happen for that to occur?
The chances seem slimmer, but there's renewed interest; negotiations depend on finding the right director and a fan who understands what drew fans to the original, with streamers showing openness to purchase if the project is compelling.
Gregory Snegoff: From Godan in SHE to Robotech Legend & Real-Life Adventurer
Q: What was it like shooting in Italy and dealing with the local crews and conditions?
Greg explains that shooting in Italy brought unique challenges like bureaucracy, but Italian crews were skilled and adaptable, able to improvise and keep production moving even when plans changed.
#251 - Tommy Boy (1995)
Q: What makes Tommy Boy a comedy classic?
Its blend of heartfelt moments and physical comedy, along with the chemistry between Chris Farley and David Spade, resonate with audiences.
Mailbag: Rambo Recaps, Beastmaster Rants, and Billion-Dollar Blues
Q: What do you think about The Godfather movies, do they still hold up as a man's movie?
They are great movies and I enjoy them, but I don't think they hold up as a man's trilogy anymore compared to recent movies.
