Ep. 32 - Mr. Right

It"s Not That Bad ·

2022/05/25

Looking for a hit movie? How about a movie about a hitman who’s tired of doing hits for people who hire hitmen, so as a way to hit back, he hits the guys who hired him in the first place as a hitman, because contracting out hits is bad. Throw in some hit actors, some hit-worthy dance moves and you have yourselves a movie that’s all da hit. Too bad the critics couldn’t give a hit about it…but that’s okay because we’re about to prove to you that Mr. Right is not that bad. Learn more about your ad

Ep. 31 - A Nightmare On Elm Street (2010)

It"s Not That Bad ·

2022/05/11

There are three things in movies that make people run screaming…a charbaby in a fedora, creepy kids singing an even creepier lullaby, and the words “Produced by Michael Bay”. You won’t want to sleep on this episode, because we’re about to prove to you that 2010’s remake of A Nightmare On Elm Street is not that bad. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep. 30 - Batman Forever

It"s Not That Bad ·

2022/05/04

One of the criticisms of Tim Burton's Batman movies is that they were made by a guy who didn't like comic books. Then came 1995 and Joel Schumacher with the “hold my beer” approach to comic book movies. But despite having more neon than a Tokyo night club, a Two-Face with one personality and arguably the worst cinematic Batman ever, we're still here to prove to you that Batman Forever...is not that bad.

It"s Not That Bad ·

2022/04/27

Do you remember The Andy Griffith Show? A show about a charming, lovable character. Then they thought it was a good idea to make a spinoff about the idiot mechanic entering the military? Now, picture that…but with animated cars. Lightning may not have struck twice, but we’re here to trade in our dad jokes for dadgum and prove to you that Cars 2…is not that bad.

Ep. 28 - Four Rooms

It"s Not That Bad ·

2022/04/20

If two’s company, and three’s a crowd…four is clearly an experiment in film production.

However, if you’re just a film lover, nothing…as we’re here to prove to you that Four Rooms is not that bad. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It"s Not That Bad ·

2022/04/13

Ep. 26 - Road House

It"s Not That Bad ·

2022/04/06

If I learned anything from the movies in the 80’s, it’s that the most famous people in the world are bouncers…Jasper apparently only has one band, and that it’s okay to rip out someone’s throat with your bare hand. No one’s putting Swayze in a corner on this one. Gomez from Playlist Wars joins the show to help us prove to you that Road House…is not that bad. Learn more about your ad choices.

It"s Not That Bad ·
