2022/11/06

Before the games and before the Netflix show, there were books. And then, after the books, there was a movie! A movie that was a condensed version of a show. But not the Netflix show called The Witcher. We're talking about the 2001 Polish movie called The Hexer. We're joined by Sandy Whittem (Illiterature) to see if this early adaptation of Geralt's story is any good.Join the Bad Porridge Club on Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each month! https://www.patreon.com/oldiebutagoodiepodFollow Sandy

2022/10/23

Donnie Darko... Despite bombing in its original theatrical run, it's the movie that captured the minds of 2001 audiences with its ambiguity and visuals so much that it started a whole era of online film analysis. But, with its hidden meanings and messages, come many theories and interpretations. What is the film about? Is it about science, or something more supernatural? Is it deep, or is it dumb? That's what we're here to discuss.Join the Bad Porridge Club on Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each

#198: From Hell

2022/10/16

As our month of horror movies continues, we check out a film based on wild Jack The Ripper conspiracy theories. It's From Hell, an adaptation of the Alan Moore comic, starring Johnny Depp, Ian Holm, Robbie Coltrane, and Heather Graham. It's incredibly historically inaccurate and dull, but also has enough fun kills for one of us to say some positive things about it.Join the Bad Porridge Club on Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each month! https://www.patreon.com/oldiebutagoodiepodFollow the

Do you like horror? Do you like martial arts? Do you also like political satire about the French Revolution? Well, do we have a movie for you! Brotherhood of the Wolf (Le Pacte des loups) is what we're talking about this week for our spooky month of 2001 horror(ish) movies.

2022/10/02

Tremors is a great movie. It's from 1990, stars Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward, has a bunch of giant worms chasing people, it's really fun. So fun that when we had the option to do an episode on the 3rd movie in the series, we went for it! Was it a mistake? Maybe. We're joined by Crooked Table's Robert Yaniz Jr to check out the sequel that's all about Michael Gross fighting Ass-Blasters.Join the Bad Porridge Club on Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each month

2022/09/25

So far during our journey throughout 2001, we've only done one decent comedy. The rest have been quite awful. That all changes this week because it's time for a 'Best Comedies of 2001' bonus battle! We've got Zoolander with Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, and Will Ferrell. We've also got Wet Hot American Summer with Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, Amy Poehler, Bradley Cooper, and countless other funny people. We let the facts take the spotlight as we figure out which movie is the best.0:10:20 - Wet Hot

After last week's disaster, we're back with another anime from 2001. It's Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, a sequel to an anime from the 80s about vampires and mutants and hand parasites. If you're a fan of anime like Zach, then you'll probably find a lot to love in this! If you're Sandro, you probably won't.

2022/09/11

Sometimes when we have a bunch of movie options to pick from, we make mistakes. It's no one's fault, it can just happen. A film can have a good premise with a good cast and good ratings across the board, but still end up being absolutely awful. And that's what has happened this week with Hardball. It's a baseball movie about Keanu Reeves coaching a Little League team in the Chicago projects, except it isn't really about baseball at all.

Are we reviewing an anime movie? This is unprecedented! Based on the classic series of the same name, Cowboy Bebop: The Movie (aka Knockin' on Heaven's Door) is a fun sci-fi action film featuring incredible animation, likeable bounty hunters, corrupt governments, and a healthy dose of an existential crisis.

We know what you're thinking: This week's movie is just called O?! Yep! It is! O is one of two modern-day adaptations of Shakespeare's Othello that were released in 2001. The main character, Odin (Mekhi Phifer), is a high school basketball player who slowly gets manipulated by a jealous guy on his team (Josh Hartnett). Martin Sheen is also in it and he yells a lot.

#190: Ghosts of Mars

Oldie But A Goodie ·

2022/08/21

From John Carpenter, the mind behind classics like Halloween and The Thing, comes a sci-fi action horror movie that is terrible and called Ghosts of Mars. Starring Ice Cube, Natasha Henstridge and Jason Statham, it's about Mars and ghosts that turn you into a fan of metal. Some say this film was always meant to be cheesy and bad, and while that may be the case, we still reckon it's missing the "good" in "so-bad-it's-good".Join the Bad Porridge Club on Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each month

This week, we're joined by Ben Volchok to review an all-star movie with one of the biggest all-star casts to ever claim to have an all-star cast. It's Rat Race, directed by Jerry Zucker. It's about a bunch of people who race against one another to win two million dollars. They each get up to their own wild adventures, ranging from very funny to only slightly funny. Now, here's a bunch of names of people who are in this: Rowan Atkinson, Whoopi Goldberg, Seth Green, Breckin Meyer, Jon Lovitz, Amy

Before Chris Rock was a zebra, he was a white blood cell cop, hot on the trail of a murderous virus inside the dangerous city of Bill Murray. This week we're heading into the bloodstream to check out Osmosis Jones, a live-action/animation hybrid co-starring Laurence Fishburne, David Hyde Pierce, and William Shatner.

2022/07/31

Things are starting to heat up as we head into the month of August, and we're not just talking about the Aussie weather. Original Sin is a period drama that sells itself as an erotic thriller. Watch as Antonio Banderas plays a rich guy looking for love, Angelina Jolie plays a mysterious woman with a dangerous past, and Thomas Jane has a moustache. With a cast of some of the hottest actors working in 2001, we simply had to check it out and see why nobody remembers that this film exists.Join the Bad

2022/07/24

We love the Planet of the Apes movies. The original series is great, the reboot trilogy is also great, and even the short-lived TV series is a lot of fun. There's always been one entry into the franchise that has stuck out like a sore monkey paw though, and that's what we're talking about this week: 2001's Planet of the Apes by Tim Burton! With an all-star cast of Tim Roth, Helena Bonham Carter, Paul Giamatti, and Mark Wahlberg (I guess), this film attempts to reboot the series yet fails at every

Before it was a World, it was a Jurassic Park III. Director Joe Johnston brings the franchise into new territory by turning the dinosaur island into a non-stop action extravaganza. We've got Sam Neill returning, we've got William H. Macy, we've got Laura Dern (for 2 minutes), and we've also got a Spinosaurus and some Pteranodons.

2022/07/10

We love a videogame adaptation here on the show, especially because we've both dabbled in the gamer lifestyle. However, an adaptation that's actually a completely new story and universe with a brand slapped onto it to make money, that brand being a very popular videogame franchise we've never played, sounded like the perfect pick for this week. Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within is a sci-fi movie about spirituality and environmentalism and alien dragons. It has an all-star cast of Ming-Na Wen, Alec

In a year filled with nostalgic movies, it's time to check out a film that really captured our imagination as children. Cats & Dogs is a spy-comedy about a secret war between pets filled with espionage and martial arts. The cats are trying to take over the world and only a couple secret-dog-agents can stop them.

The sea is a scary place. It's full of dangerous unknowns, creatures yet to be discovered... And evil talking fish played by Alan Rickman! This week, we're reviewing the American version of a Danish animated kids movie called Help! I'm a Fish! It's about a bunch of kids being turned into fish by Monty Python's Terry Jones. One of the kids is played by Aaron Paul! In this very silly episode, we discover that one of us has seen this before, and we try to uncover the unexplained mysteries of why
