Episode 63 - A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)

Beyond the Bad ·

2024/06/21

Horror remakes are remarkably divisive, and few have angered fans more than the 2010 remake of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET. Starring Oscar-nominee Jackie Earle Haley as an updated Freddy Krueger, this remake was a financial success but killed the franchise indefinitely. How does that happen?

Episode 62 - Die Another Day (2002)

Beyond the Bad ·

2024/06/14

Taking on the Bond franchise can sometimes be low-hanging fruit, especially when you've got invisible cars, race-changing operations, and so many diamonds. We take on 2002's DIE ANOTHER DAY, Brosnan's critically-reviled final outing. Apologies for the poor audio quality. That's what happens when you forget to bring a mic to the recording.Hosted by Connor Eyzaguirre and Colton Jenkins Music by Cooley Cal New episodes every Friday!

Episode 61 - Godzilla (1998)

Beyond the Bad ·

2024/06/07

Beyond the Bad is back! It's been a while since we eviscerated a critically-reviled disaster, and what better film to celebrate a comeback than the 1998 American take on GODZILLA? We'll discuss the deal with Toho that fell apart, Roland Emmerich's dislike of the franchise, and the ripple effect that the film's failure had on other films.

Episode 60 - The Waterboy (1998)

Beyond the Bad ·

2023/02/24

Comedy is subjective and often times reactionary. Therefore, it is difficult to critique. But that didn't stop critics in 1998 from eviscerating Adam Sandler's sports comedy THE WATERBOY, which has largely been reclaimed as a 90s comedy classic.Hosted by Caleb Leger and Connor Eyzaguirre Music by Cooley Cal New episodes every Friday!

Episode 59 - The Zodiac Killer (1971)

Beyond the Bad ·

2023/02/17

Most films are made purely for entertainment. Occasionally, you have a film that's made entirely to catch an active serial killer. That's the case with the 1971 slasher flick THE ZODIAC KILLER, an abysmal film that only exists because its director hoped to catch the actual Zodiac at the film's premiere.

Episode 58 - Red Sonja (1985)

Beyond the Bad ·

2023/02/10

Back in the 80s, sword and sorcery was all the rage. An attempt at a third CONAN movie in 1985 resulted in a cheap knockoff called RED SONJA, which wanted the Barbarian but didn't want to pay for him.

2023/02/03

M. Night Shyamalan used to be one of the most promising filmmakers in Hollywood, but his career took quite an unexpected twist when he released a string of forgettable failures, most notably 2008's THE HAPPENING, a film that many consider his worst mistake.

Episode 56 - I'm Still Here (2010)

Beyond the Bad ·

2023/01/27

Remember when Joaquin Phoenix tried to convince the acting community that he'd completely lost his mind? Turns out it was all an act; an act no one cared about. The result of this series of increasingly bad decisions was the poorly received 2010 mockumentary I'M STILL HERE.

2023/01/20

This week, we discuss the almost flawless run of the DCAU (DC Animated Universe) and one of their rare misfires, the 2016 adaptation of BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE. Fans despised it, critics didn't care, and Warner Bros. had zero faith in it. What could go wrong? Hosted by Caleb Leger and Connor Eyzaguirre Music by Cooley Cal New episodes every Friday!

We end the first year of this show by digging into the raunchy 2005 comedy WAITING, the most realistic depiction of food service ever made. We also reminisce about our own time in the restaurant industry and try to figure out why Dane Cook was ever successful.

Time to get unapologetically political as we tackle the horrendous 2019 remake of BLACK CHRISTMAS, known for its ham-fisted political message and terrible handling of the source material.

Beyond the Bad ·

2022/12/16

We conclude Brendan Fraser Appreciation Week with a look at the terrible conclusion to his epic trilogy, 2008's THE MUMMY: TOMB OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR. A weak script, visible disinterest, and a terrible recasting choice add up to make a barely watchable third entry.

This week, we dig up the grave of one of the greatest disasters in pop culture history: THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL. A family of incoherent Wookiees, Harvey Korman in blackfaced drag, and a coked-up lineup of the franchise's biggest stars. Is George Lucas insane?

2022/11/25

This week, we discuss one of the most forgettable comedy sequels of all time, 1982's AIRPLANE II: THE SEQUEL. It's so loaded with resentment from the first film's comedy geniuses that they still haven't bothered to watch it.

Episode 46 - Scooby-Doo (2002)

Beyond the Bad ·

2022/11/18

This week, we discuss one of the most unfairly judged movies of the 2000s, the James Gunn-scripted, insanely well cast 2002 live-action adaptation of SCOOBY-DOO. What's not to love? It retains the spirit of the cartoon, it pokes fun at itself, and the universally-despised Scrappy-Doo is the villain. We love it.

This week, we discuss our first bad Bond movie with 1983's OCTOPUSSY, Roger Moore's sixth outing as 007 and one of the worst titles in movie history. We discuss the franchise as a whole, who we see as a potential future James Bond, and how this film went up against Sean Connery's unexpected and unofficial return to the role.
