  • Friendly fellas doing good work

    A great addition to the bad*-movie podcast genre.

    *although, as they clarify in the intro, this is a podcast about movies that did badly .

    They cover the famous bombs, the forgotten bombs, and the movies you loved and didn’t realize were bombs. Jon and Ian give every movie a fair chance, are they are just a couple of pleasant dudes to hang out with for an hour.

  • my favorite movie podcast. hits the exact perfect spot between acknowledging a film’s flaws & still acknowledging that something doesn’t have to be technically proficient to be fun. and vice versa! generally takes a good-natured and positive position on films the public may not love. also, regular great tv recommendations.
