Each week on Best of the Rest we take a second look at a movie that was poorly received upon release, but challenge ourselves to only talk about what the movie does well. Maybe not every movie is great, but all movies have GREATNESS!

Cool World

Best of the Rest ·

2025/12/13

If Who Framed Roger Rabbit invented a genre, Cool World ended it. This week we revisit the early Brad Pitt vehicle and find what works, or at least make sense of what we just watched.

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

Best of the Rest ·

2025/11/29

Long before The Avengers, the View Askewniverse gave us Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, which is a sequel to four loosely connected films. While some critics wrote favorably of the movie, audiences did not show up in the theaters. This week we take a second look at this stoner comedy classic to discuss everything it got right. Bong indeed. DEMAND which movies we cover in December HERE! Join the Best of the Rest discord: https://discord.gg/86P7jJXNPb Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/user/bo...

Half Baked

Best of the Rest ·

2025/11/25

Half Baked may be considered a classic of the stoner comedy genre today, but in 1998 it failed to make an impression. Today we're revisiting this Dave Chappelle joint to find everything that works!

Dude, Where's My Car?

2025/11/18

Event Horizon

Best of the Rest ·

2025/11/02

Despite a heavy re-edit by the studio and a disappointing box office, Event Horizon still managed to find an audience on home video in the late 90s.

Deep Rising

2025/10/24

In 1998 Deep Rising was lost in the box office wake of a different movie about a large sinking ship, but this week we're revisiting this forgotten adventure and celebrating everything it does well. And from the deep cast to the stellar visual effects, there's a lot worth celebrating!

Sphere

Best of the Rest ·

2025/10/15

Just a few years after the massive success of Jurassic Park, another Michael Crichton sci-fi disaster novel was adapted. Unfortunately, the legacy of Sphere is far inferior to the dinosaur movie. But this week we're celebrating the mostly forgotten underwater thriller, with its great cast and thrilling and creative use of the unknown and the unseen.

Warcraft

Best of the Rest ·

2025/09/25

The massively popular video game series finally got its very faithful movie adaptation in 2016. Unfortunately for the fans, the movie failed to bring in enough at the box office to greenlight a sequel. This week we revisit this one off effort and determine what it got right! We also ponder the finer differences between orcs and ogres.

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within

Best of the Rest ·

2025/09/17

While not too technically impressive by today's standards, the photorealistic animation in FINAL FANTASY was groundbreaking in 2001. Despite praise for its visuals, the movie failed to find its audience, even among fans of the video game franchise. This week we revisit the film to find everything it does right, and see what managed to age well.

Mortal Kombat (2021)

Best of the Rest ·

2025/09/10

The latest Mortal Kombat adaptation tried to distance itself from previous films with a darker, bloodier tone. The result received a mixed reception from fans and critics alike, but this week we just want to talk about what we like! Did you know Sub-Zero makes a blade out of Scorpion's blood? Because Sub-Zero makes a blade out of Scorpion's blood.

Doom

We're kicking off our third video games month with one of the most notorious adaptations: 2005's DOOM starring The Rock and Karl Urban.

Head

Best of the Rest ·

2025/08/26

At the peak of their popularity, The Monkees released their only feature film. Virtually no one saw it. Perhaps it was because the movie was a deliberate subversion of their popular show, or maybe it was due to a bizarre marketing strategy, but this week all we care about is what the movie did well.

Spice World

Best of the Rest ·

2025/08/20

For 3 years in the late 90's, Spice Girls ruled the world. Their movie was a success at the box office but didn't please many critics, and has nearly faded into obscurity 28 years later. But this week we resurrect this strange pop star film to bring you everything it does well!

Detroit Rock City

Best of the Rest ·

2025/08/15

Sure, a movie about a 25 year old band didn't resonate with kids in 1999, but now that KISS is 50 years past their prime, does the movie hold up? We found plenty to enjoy!

Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny

2025/08/05

As Jack Black's career was exploding in the early 2000's, he was given the greenlight to make a comedy about his band: Tenacious D. Unfortunately Black's popularity didn't translate to box office success at the time, but we're revisiting this modern cult classic to find everything it does well!
