2026/04/14

This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron tackle Crossroads (2002), the Britney Spears road trip vehicle that earned a 15% on Rotten Tomatoes but turned its $12 million budget into $60 million at the box office. Written by Shonda Rhimes and directed by the woman behind Half Baked and Billy Madison, the film follows three estranged high school friends — played by Spears, Zoe Saldana, and Taryn Manning — as they drive cross-country with a mysterious stranger to chase their dreams.

2026/04/07

This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron tackle Cool as Ice (1991), the Vanilla Ice vanity project that scored a 3% on Rotten Tomatoes and earned back just $1.2 million of its $6 million budget. The movie is a plotless fever dream where a 24-year-old rapper jumps a motorcycle over a fence to impress a high schooler, breaks into her bedroom to drip ice on her face, and somehow also foils a witness protection kidnapping subplot that nobody asked for. Fun fact: the cinematographer wen...

2026/03/31

This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron tackle Borderlands (2024), the $120 million video game adaptation that earned just $33 million at the box office and a 10% on Rotten Tomatoes. Directed by Eli Roth and starring Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Jack Black, this one boasts a ghost writer who doesn’t want to take credit for their work, action sequences with zero stakes, and the rare achievement of making Jack Black unfunny. Aaron calls it his least favorite mov...

Hitman (The One Where Timothy Olyphant Shaved His Head)

The Worst Movie Podcast ·

2026/03/25

This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron tackle Hitman (2007) — a video game adaptation that strips away everything that made the source material interesting and replaces it with every action movie trope imaginable. Timothy Olyphant plays the world's most conspicuous assassin: bald, barcode-tattooed, wandering through train stations somehow undetected, and trembling noticeably while holding a gun. The plot — a Russian presidential body-double conspiracy so convoluted that Aaron pau...

Doom (The One Where The Rock Goes all WWE on Karl Urban)

2026/03/17

This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron tackle Doom (2005) — an 18% on Rotten Tomatoes adaptation of one of the most influential video games ever made, starring Dwayne Johnson and Karl Urban as space marines fighting hell beasts on Mars. For a franchise built entirely on relentless carnage, the film is surprisingly short on actual monster killing and long on standing around in corridors talking. Not bad enough to be fun, just bad enough to be boring. Send a text

The Worst Movie Podcast ·

2026/03/10

This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron tackle Street Fighter (1994), the 11% Rotten Tomatoes disaster that still somehow pulled $100 million at the box office. Directed by Steven E. de Souza from a script he reportedly wrote overnight, it's a fighting game adaptation that famously forgets to include much fighting — burying its roster of beloved characters under layers of plot while Raul Julia, in his final role, delivers a performance that has absolutely no business being this go...

2026/02/24

This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade finally sneaks in A Pyromaniac's Love Story (1995), a forgotten 90s oddity with a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes that also happens to be one of his all-time favorite films. Set in a fairy-tale version of the present day, the film follows a smitten baker's apprentice (John Leguizamo), an eccentric pyromaniac (William Baldwin, surprisingly unhinged), and a tangled web of confessions, unrequited love, and misplaced gestures. It's a weird, warm, quietly funny movi...

2026/02/18

This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron shake up Cocktail (1988), the Tom Cruise 80s movie that critics savaged with a 9% on Rotten Tomatoes despite making $170 million at the box office. The romance never quite convinces, the tonal swings are abrupt, and yes, the novel it's based on is probably better. But it may also be the best worst movie they've watched yet. Send a text

The Worst Movie Podcast ·

2026/02/11

This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron tackle Gigli (2003), the infamous rom-com crime experiment that brought together peak-fame Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. Directed by Martin Brest (Midnight Run, Scent of a Woman), the film tries to blend gangster hijinks, edgy romance, and broad comedy, only to collapse under abrupt tonal shifts, baffling character choices, and moments that have aged into outright discomfort.

Bewitched (The One Where Will Ferrell Married a Witch)

The Worst Movie Podcast ·

2026/01/28

This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron revisit Bewitched (2005), the big-screen adaptation of the beloved 1960s sitcom. Starring Nicole Kidman and peak-era Will Ferrell, the film opts for a meta “show-within-a-show” premise that never fully commits to being a rom-com, a satire of Hollywood, or a straightforward comedy. Directed by Nora Ephron and packed with an overqualified supporting cast, Bewitched isn’t aggressively bad—it’s just strangely flat, hesitant, and uninterested in ...

2026/01/20

This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron tackle The Avengers (1998) — the non-Marvel, deeply forgotten adaptation of the stylish 1960s British TV series. Starring Ralph Fiennes, Uma Thurman, and Sean Connery, this $60-million misfire earned a brutal 5% on Rotten Tomatoes. What should have been a sleek, sexy spy thriller instead arrives chopped to pieces, with entire chunks of story seemingly removed and replaced by confusion, teddy bear costumes, and weather-controlling nonsense.

The Mod Squad (The One Where Claire Danes Wore Levi’s)

The Worst Movie Podcast ·

2026/01/13

This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron crack open The Mod Squad (1999) — the edgy-for-the-90s TV reboot that tried to turn counterculture cool into a leather-jacketed music video. With Claire Danes, Omar Epps, and Giovanni Ribisi cast as rebellious undercover cops, it’s a film that mistakes vibes for plot and attitude for character development. Grab your club soda with lime and join us — because if The Mod Squad taught us anything, it’s that no amount of wardrobe can fix a plot y...

2026/01/06

This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron saddle up for Wild Wild West — the $170-million steampunk western that tried to mash together TV nostalgia, Will Smith swagger, and a giant mechanical spider. Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld at the peak of Will Smith’s 90s superstardom, the film reimagines the classic TV series as a gadget-stuffed action comedy where Jim West and Artemis Gordon race to stop a disgruntled Confederate villain from literally selling off the United States. Along th...

They touch on how the podcast got started, reflect on their favorite disasters so far, and give a sneak peek at what’s coming next.

2025/12/23

This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron ring in the new year with New Year’s Eve (2011) — the bloated, celebrity-packed rom-com that treats Times Square like a narrative dumping ground. Directed by Gary Marshall and stuffed with more recognizable faces than an Oscars montage, the film juggles dozens of half-baked story lines involving dying wishes, stalled elevators, maternity ward competitions, and a fragile New Year’s Eve ball. So grab your champagne, set your expectations low, ...

This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron sprint, tackle, and elbow their way through Jingle All the Way (1996) — the holiday madhouse where Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a mattress salesman with the physique of a Greek god, Sinbad turns it up to 11 as an unhinged postal worker, and Phil Hartman seduces a neighborhood of moms with fresh-baked cookies. So grab your non-alcoholic eggnog, take a dose of 90’s nostalgia, and join the guys as they unpack bomb scares, mall-Santa cartels, and...

This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron unwrap Deck the Halls (2006) — the holiday comedy that tries to bottle Christmas spirit and instead dumps out seasonal misery. Matthew Broderick plays a joyless optometrist who’s obsessed with Christmas, while Danny DeVito shows up as a restless salesman who decides that turning his house into a space-visible light beacon is the key to existential fulfillment. So grab your hot cocoa, and join the guys as they break down mustachioed stu...

2025/12/02

This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron kick off Horrible Holidays with Jack and Jill (2011) — the Sandler-verse twin comedy that tries to coast on wigs, pratfalls, and CGI jump roping. With Adam Sandler playing both an ad executive and his chaotic sister, Al Pacino delivering a fully unhinged performance fueled by real-life financial desperation, and Katie Holmes standing politely off to the side like she wandered onto the wrong sound stage, it’s a film so sloppy it somehow swept...

2025/11/25

This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron dive into Obsessed (2009) — the glossy, PG-13 thriller that tried to channel Fatal Attraction but forgot to include the actual attraction. With Idris Elba playing the squeakiest-clean husband in movie history, Beyoncé maintaining moral perfection at every turn, and Ali Larter going full Lifetime-villain with zero explanation, it’s a film so neutered by studio notes it may as well have come with an abstinence pledge. Grab your tequila, don’t ...

2025/11/18

This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron slide into the sun-bleached, Florida-fried madness of Striptease (1996) — the political-strip-club crime caper that paid Demi Moore a record-breaking salary to anchor a movie that can’t decide if it’s political satire or a sexy crime thriller. Featuring Burt Reynolds caked in Vaseline, and Ving Rhames wielding a cordless drill, it’s a film that turns Hiaasen’s dark comedy into pure, neon-tinted chaos.
