Episode 257: RT Challenge 0-9% | Cobra-Dome: The Revenge

Our Film Fathers ·

2025/05/22

How bad can a movie truly be? We put that theory to the test with 3 movies rated in the less than 10% approval rating from Rotten Tomatoes. Those movies: Cobra (1986), Jaws: The Revenge (1987), and Bio-Dome (1996) all have poor acting, worse writing, and plot holes galore. But they may also have some redeeming qualities to others, but listen and decide for yourself.Also Play:Cinema Chain Game--------------------------------------------Subscribe, rate, and review:Apple Podcasts: Our Film
