#189: Rat Race (with Ben Volchok)
August 14, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 96.7 MBThis 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, ...
#188: Osmosis Jones
August 07, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 129 MBBefore 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. Will the onslaught of puns and gross-out humour be too much for us? We gave it a watch to find out! Join the Bad Porridge Club on Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each month! http...
#187: Original Sin
July 31, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 104 MBThings 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...
#186: Planet of the Apes (with Rob Lloyd)
July 24, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 89 MBWe 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 ...
#185: Jurassic Park III (with Anna Piper Scott)
July 17, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 67.8 MBBefore 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. Award-winning comedian Anna Piper Scott joins us to check out this sequel and see how it holds up against the rest of the franchise. Join the Bad Porridge Club on ...
#184: Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
July 10, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 118 MBWe 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...
#183: Cats & Dogs (with Valarrys)
July 03, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 69.2 MBIn 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. We're joined by streamer Valarrys to see if it holds up! Join the Bad Porridge Club on Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each month! https://www.patreon.com/oldiebutagoodiepod Follow ...
#182: Help! I'm a Fish! (Hjælp, jeg er en fisk / A Fish Story)
June 26, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 117 MBThe 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 wh...
#181: The Fast and the Furious (with Mitch Garling)
June 19, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 76 MBIt's one of the highest-earning movie franchises in the world, gaining billions of dollars at the box office. The sequels gradually turned into globe-crossing, heist-filled, espionage-y superhero adventures, but at the core, it's always been about fast cars and family... And those two themes make up most of this week's movie! Comedian Mitch Garling joins us to chat about 2001's The Fast and the Furious, reminiscing with Sandro about seeing Paul Walker and Vin Diesel together for the first ti...
#180: Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (with MissMandeee)
June 12, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 84 MBVideogame adaptations don't have a good track record. Some would say we've only recently been getting good ones, but even then they are few and far between. But what if, in 2001, they made an adaptation of Tomb Raider starring Angelina Jolie and Daniel Craig? What if everyone hated it at the time, including one of our hosts, but then that host changed their opinion upon second viewing? What if the other host has a bunch of questions about what happened in the film? And what if we got Twitch ...
#179: Evolution (with Jack McGorlick)
June 05, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 160 MBHey, do you remember Ghostbusters? Do you watch The X-Files? Do you enjoy a good, extended fart joke? If so, we've got a movie for you! It's Evolution, Ivan Reitman's sci-fi comedy, that has many similarities to his previous supernatural endeavours. It stars a very happy-to-be-here David Duchovny, a very why-am-I-here Julianne Moore, and a giant farting starfish. We're joined by comedian Jack McGorlick to discuss this fun yet forgotten comedy. Join the Bad Porridge Club on Patreon for TWO b...
#178: The Animal
May 29, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 132 MBWe're back with yet another awful comedy from 2001. The Animal is all about Rob Schneider being injured and put back together with random animal parts. Things start to go "hilariously" wrong when he begins to act like an animal himself! Expect way too many problematic jokes involving animals, way too many problematic jokes involving the singular female character in this film, and way too many problematic cameos by Adam Sandler. Join the Bad Porridge Club on Patreon for TWO bonus episodes ea...
#177: Pearl Harbor (with Rhys Parton)
May 22, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 102 MBNow, this is a big one! Not just in terms of episode length or the movie's runtime, but also in terms of how much there is to dissect in this film. It's time to chat about Michael Bay's Pearl Harbor, starring Ben Affleck, Kate Beckinsale and Josh Hartnett. In the style of Titanic, this movie is an epic romance set against the backdrop of a historical tragedy, except this one is also an action movie with a lot of American patriotism. We're joined by podcaster and actor Rhys Parton to see if i...
#176: Shrek / Shrek 2 (with Jacob Sacher & Jack McGorlick)
May 15, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 72.2 MBIt's a debate that's been had all throughout history, dividing friendships and creating discourse. Which movie is better... Shrek or Shrek 2. Today, to celebrate the 21st anniversary of Shrek's cinematic debut, we dive right in for the battle to end all battles. Joining us to help the fight are comedians Jacob Sacher and Jack McGorlick.

#175: Pulse (回路 / Kairo) (with Ben Volchok)
May 08, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 88.7 MBPulse (回路 / Kairo) is a Japanese horror film by Kiyoshi Kurosawa that made waves at film festivals in 2001. It's a dark, atmospheric exploration of the internet, ghosts, and loneliness that is really unlike any other horror we've reviewed on the show before. We're joined by comedian Ben Volchok to go through the plot, figure out a few of the mysteries, and get a few scares in along the way.

#174: The Mummy Returns (with Meerna Yousif)
May 01, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 82.3 MBWe've watched it countless times as kids, now it's time to see how it holds up with our grizzled movie-watching eyes. The Mummy Returns, released May 4th in 2001, is the sequel to the classic Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz adventure film that everyone loves. It features everyone's favourite characters going up against the resurrected Imhotep once again, except this time there's also a giant Dwayne-Johnson-shaped Scorpion King hanging around! We're joined by comedian Meerna Yousif to revisit...
#173: Driven
April 24, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 123 MBWe've done a lot of Sylvester Stallone movies here on the podcast. We've seen him be a truck driver, an arm wrestler, a hitman, and even a cab-driving country singer. In this episode, we finally get to see what the action icon is like as a racing car driver. Driven, released April 27th in 2001, is a high octane thrill ride about racing and a bunch of other half-baked ideas. It features hilariously ADRed dialogue, terrible computer-generated crashes, and some of the worst cinematography and e...
#172: Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles
April 17, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 90.1 MBGrab your big knife and head into the outback with us this week as we check in with everyone's favourite Aussie larrikin in Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles! It's the third and final film in this classic Australian trilogy and features Paul Hogan going to Los Angeles with his family to bust some criminals, hang out with some wildlife, and make a bunch of jokes. Look, this one isn't good, but it does feature a paper mache cow doing a big fart! Join the Bad Porridge Club on Patreon for TWO bon...
#171: Josie and the Pussycats (with Rob Lloyd)
April 10, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 70.9 MBWe're heading to Riverdale this week and going on tour with Josie and the Pussycats! It's the live-action adaptation of the classic Archie Comics characters. When the band (played by Rachael Leigh Cook, Tara Reid, and Rosario Dawson) find out their new manager (Alan Cumming) is planting subliminal messages in their music, they have to use the power of friendship and pop-punk to save entertainment as we know it. We're joined by Rob Lloyd (Who, Me / Shakespeare Aliens / A Bond Among Us) to see...
#170: Pokémon 3: The Movie
April 03, 2022 20:00 - 1 hour - 88.5 MBDespite only one of us having any knowledge about the Pokémon franchise, this week we're doing an in-depth review about the 3rd entry into the series of films about cute pocket monsters who are forced into combat by their human "trainers". Pokémon 3: The Movie – Spell of the Unown: Entei is a long title for a rather short movie. It's about a young girl who becomes a god. It's about a teenage boy who wants to be the very best. It's about an alphabet soup but without any of the soup. That will...
#169: Spy Kids
March 27, 2022 19:00 - 1 hour - 132 MBGrowing up, we were both big fans of the Spy Kids franchise. We had the toys, we had watched the entire trilogy countless times... So when we saw Robert Rodriguez's classic family adventure movie as an option, we had to give it a rewatch. This week, listen as we remember Alan Cumming's Thumb Thumbs, Juni's superhuman mimic powers, Carmen's badass fight scenes, Danny Trejo's kind-hearted but extremely murderous Machete, and the power couple that is Carla Gugino and Antonio Banderas as the par...
#168: Say It Isn't So
March 20, 2022 19:00 - 1 hour - 98 MBWe've made mistakes before... But something about this week's comedy film hits differently. Say It Isn't So, released March 23rd in 2001, is a rom-com about a couple who find out they might be siblings. Don't worry! They're not. But they think they are. When an incredibly emo-looking Chris Klein discovers that they aren't related, actually, he must set off and try to convince a very clumsy Heather Graham that they should get back together.

#167: The Dish
March 13, 2022 19:00 - 1 hour - 94.9 MBDid you know Australia helped during the moon landing? We did! We're so proud of that fact that we made a movie about it! The Dish is a great classic Aussie comedy about the small town of Parkes and the role they played in broadcasting man's step onto the moon. Plus, in the most Australian move a movie could possibly make, it stars Sam Neill (a New Zealander) and Patrick Warburton (an American) in the two lead roles.

#166: The Luck of the Irish (with Danny McGinlay)
March 06, 2022 19:00 - 1 hour - 58 MBWe're back on the Disney Channel this week for another TV movie called The Luck of the Irish. This one's about a teenage basketball player who finds out the secret of his heritage... He's a leprechaun! We're joined by comedian Danny McGinlay (They Came To Play / Shakespeare Aliens) to discuss just how accurate and racist the Irish representation actually is.

#165: Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure
February 27, 2022 08:00 - 1 hour - 66.1 MBHey, remember when Disney were pumping out heaps of direct-to-video sequels? This week we're reviewing one! It's Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure, a sequel to the classic 50s Disney film. This one is about the rebellious son of Lady and Tramp who leaves home, joins a gang, sings love songs with a dog of undiscernible age, gets chased by the police... All while learning valuable life lessons! Join the Bad Porridge Club on Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each month! https://www.patreo...
#164: Monkeybone
February 20, 2022 19:00 - 1 hour - 85.7 MBHave you ever wondered what the dark recesses of Brendan Fraser's brain look like? Apparently, it's a nightmarish world of strange creatures, mythological gods, and horny monkeys! Monkeybone, released Feb 23rd in 2001, is a very loose comic-book adaptation directed by Henry Selick (Coraline, Nightmare Before Christmas). To say it suffers from an identity crisis is understating it. This movie really doesn't know what it wants to be, and while that makes for a very frustrating watch, it also m...
#163: Recess: School's Out
February 13, 2022 19:00 - 1 hour - 71.6 MBWe're going on summer vacation and saving the world with the gang from Recess: School's Out this week. It's a full-length movie based on the classic Disney cartoon which we aren't super nostalgic for but that doesn't matter, this movie was still very enjoyable! It's got great animation, silly plots to take over the world, and a radically psychedelic 60s soundtrack.

#162: Saving Silverman (with Jacob Sacher)
February 06, 2022 19:00 - 1 hour - 82.7 MBSaving Silverman, also known as Evil Woman, is a movie about a bunch of awful people who all manipulate each other and get hurt in many physical and emotional ways. So, yknow, it's just a typical early 2000s teen comedy! We're joined by Jacob Sacher (Paul Noodle / Mr Yes and Mr No) to go through all the jokes and count exactly how many times we actually laughed.

January 30, 2022 19:00 - 1 hour - 67.6 MBWe may not be covering the 80s this year, that doesn't mean we're not going to continue to cover bad horror movies! Valentine, released February 2nd in 2001, is a slasher movie about a bunch of friends being stalked by a killer in a cupid mask. It's got a couple of good kills, a bunch of great songs, and a large portion of run-time in which nothing really happens.

#160: The Goddess of 1967
January 23, 2022 19:00 - 1 hour - 64.3 MBWe're heading down under for a mostly forgotten dark Australian road trip movie! The Goddess of 1967 is about a Japanese man who's looking to buy a very special car, the Citroën DS, and comes across a blind young woman. Together, they head on a journey filled with dancing, revenge, and dangerous Aussie lizards.

#159: Crossfire Trail
January 16, 2022 19:00 - 58 minutes - 53.9 MBTom Selleck and his moustache star as a cowboy in this week's movie: Crossfire Trail! This TV film, originally aired on January 21st in 2001, is a throwback to the classic cowboy tales of old. It tells the story of Selleck trying to honour his best friend's dying wish. Sure, it doesn't really do anything new for the Western genre, but it was the most-watched TV movie of all time until 2007 so surely it's got to be good! Right?

January 09, 2022 19:00 - 1 hour - 71.9 MBCetus-Lupeedus! We're starting our 2001 reviews! And what better place to start them than a Disney Channel Original Movie. Zenon: The Zequel, released January 12th in 2001, is a sequel to the classic sci-fi about a teenage girl who lives on a space station. It's got pranks, politics, pop-stars, conspiracy theories, and catchphrases! So many catchphrases. Honestly, too many catchphrases.

December 26, 2021 19:00 - 1 hour - 68.1 MBWe're going out with a bang this week. Our last movie of 1987 is the controversial unofficial sequel to the classic Disney movie Pinocchio. Released December 25th in 1987, it follows our hero as he disobeys all the adults in his life and joins an evil circus. He then has to go up against legal documents, underage drinking, creepy bugs, and James Earl Jones as the Emperor of the Night.

It's sometimes wholesome, sometimes dark, but regularly messy and frustrating... Particularly for one of us! Which one? Well, you'll have to listen to find out.

That's all thrown out of the window this week as we're reviewing his directorial debut 'Bad Taste', released December 11th in 1987.

#153: The Time Guardian
December 05, 2021 19:00 - 1 hour - 70.6 MBIn 1987, Australia made a science fiction action movie starring Carrie Fisher. It has robots in it that reminded us of Power Rangers and the Bionicle line of LEGO. The movie is also just a rip-off of The Terminator, which might be because of studio meddling. We talk about all of that in this episode, as well as revealing what year we're covering in 2022! 2022 Announcement is at 1:09:19.

One of our regular guests, Ben Volchok, loves this movie. It's one of his all-time favourites. So he's back on the show to review it with us.

October 03, 2021 19:00 - 1 hour - 88.3 MBWe're heading out west with a campervan full of vampires this week to review the cult classic Near Dark, released October 2nd in 1987. It's a beautifully shot mixture of western and horror tropes with some bloody vampire action and fun performances from the likes of Bill Paxton. We're joined once again by Rob Lloyd (Who, Me / The Mighty Littles Puppet Show) to check it out!

#143: Real Men (with Clue)
September 26, 2021 20:00 - 1 hour - 81.4 MBReal Men, released September 25th in 1987, is a comedy that is definitely also a sci-fi. A James Bond-esq CIA agent has to team up with a meek family man to stop rogue agents and the Russians from getting their hands on 'The Big Gun'. We're joined by rapper Clue to unravel the plot of this film that, again, is definitely a sci-fi.

#142: Hellraiser
September 19, 2021 20:00 - 1 hour - 83.3 MBWe have chosen this movie... And he has come. It's time to get our souls torn apart as we dive into Hellraiser, released September 18th in 1987. It's the horror film that spawned the classic franchise and gave birth to the iconic Pinhead, even though the original creator really wishes people would stop calling him that.
