Episodes

Equilibrium
May 23, 2015 23:23In 2002, Christian Bale starred in a small sci-fi action film that drew inspiration from dystopian works such as 1984 and Brave New World. The vast majority of people seemed to hate it, but is this spiritual predecessor to Ultraviolet as bad as people say it is?

Godzilla

Saw
May 23, 2015 23:18In 2004, a small independent horror film about a serial killer that creates elaborate traps for his victims took the world by storm.

May 23, 2015 23:171994's Richie Rich is a movie beloved by a generation of kids that grew up in the 90's, but it was not well received by critics. Was Macaulay Culkin's last film as a child actor really as bad as they say?

Hook
May 23, 2015 23:14In 1991, Steven Spielberg directed a big budget epic about the further adventures of Peter Pan, with Robin Williams starring in the lead role. Does this childhood classic still hold up?
Spawn
May 23, 2015 23:13Comics were big business in the 1990's, and one of the most successful comics of the era was Todd McFarlane's Spawn. It was only inevitable that such a popular character would find his way to the big screen, but does this movie still hold up?
The Number 23
May 23, 2015 23:13Jim Carrey is one of Hollywood's most versatile actors. When given the opportunity, he can shine in both comedic and dramatic roles. In 2007, he starred in a strange psychological thriller that revolved around insanity and numerology. Is The Number 23 a misunderstood classic, or a confusing mess?
The Darkest Hour
May 23, 2015 23:12Christmas is usually the time for theaters to finally feature festive family-friendly films, but in 2011, a movie about an alien invasion in Russia was quietly released on Christmas day.
The Faculty
May 23, 2015 23:12Invasion of the Body Snatchers is a movie that has been remade in many forms throughout the years. In the late 90's, Robert Rodriguez took a shot at modernizing the story by setting it in an American high school.
The Amityville Horror
May 23, 2015 23:11Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes has made a name for itself remaking horror classics for a new generation. The Amityville Horror starring Ryan Reynolds was one of their earliest attempts. Did it pay off?
The Cell
May 23, 2015 23:10In 2000, Jennifer Lopez starred in a mind bending thriller called The Cell; the film dazzled audiences with its unique visuals and story, but does it hold up, or is it merely style over substance?
Max Payne
May 23, 2015 23:10The video game Max Payne was hailed as a triumph when it was released back in 2001; seven years later, a movie adaptation of the game was made starring Mark Wahlberg. Does it live up to its namesake, or is it just another worthless video game adaptation?
Pandorum
May 23, 2015 23:09In 2009, Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster starred in Pandorum, a film that followed in the footsteps of Event Horizon. This movie has mostly been forgotten by most film fans, but is there more to this sci-fi horror film?
After Dark 1
May 23, 2015 23:08Welcome to Yeah, It's That Bad: After Dark, in which we put aside our movie reviewing duties and talk casually amongst ourselves.
The A-Team
May 23, 2015 23:08The A-Team is a beloved show from the 1980's that many people look back upon fondly; in 2010, Liam Neeson and Bradley Cooper starred in the film adaptation of the series. Does it live up to its originator, or is it just another useless movie based on a TV show?
Event Horizon
May 23, 2015 23:07After the success of Mortal Kombat, Paul W.S. Anderson wanted to get away from making PG-13 movies, and Event Horizon became his chance to create a darker, grittier and more adult film. Event Horizon has gone on to become a cult classic amongst horror movie fans, but does it really live up to the hype?
Transformers: Dark of the Moon
May 23, 2015 23:06We continue our examination of Michael Bay's Transformers series. The stupid humor is toned down, the effects are new and improved, and Megan Fox is no longer in the picture; can this series be saved after the previous picture's piss poor performance?
The Perfect Storm
May 23, 2015 23:05In the early 90's, several fishermen lost their lives in a once in a lifetime storm. Years later, George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg starred in a film dramatizing these events, stretching the phrase "Based on a True Story" to its limits.
Ultraviolet
May 23, 2015 23:05In 2006, Milla Jovovich starred in the spiritual successor to the cult film Equilibrium; does this pseudo-sequel live up to its predecessor?
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
May 23, 2015 23:04Nicolas Cage reaches dizzying new heights of insanity in this 2012 sequel of the first Ghost Rider movie. Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance combines the deadly duo of Neveldine/Taylor with the off the wall madness of Nicolas Cage; will we be able to handle the mayhem?
Stealth
May 23, 2015 23:03Jessica Biel, Jamie Foxx, and Josh Lucas square off against a sentient fighter jet in this movie from The Fast and the Furious director Rob Cohen.
Constantine
May 23, 2015 23:03Comic book movies do not stray far from the typical super-hero story lines, but in 2005, Keanu Reeves starred in a film based on a graphic novel that dealt with a topic that was not common within the comic book genre: theology. As Keanu Reeves and Rachel Weisz get caught up in a battle between God and the Devil, we wonder if this film deserves to go to heaven or hell.
Wild Wild West
May 23, 2015 23:02After the success of Men in Black, Will Smith teamed up again with director Barry Sonnenfeld to create a steampunk cowboy film based on a TV show from the 1960's. Is this big budget blockbuster a worthless bomb, or a misunderstood classic?
Valentine's Day
May 23, 2015 23:01We celebrate the most romantic day of the year by watching one of the most star studded films of all time.
The Lost World: Jurassic Park
May 23, 2015 23:01Jurassic Park is one of the greatest summer block-busters of all time, and it's a movie that holds a special place in many people's hearts. In 1995, Steven Spielberg asked author Michael Crichton to write a sequel to his book that the first Jurassic Park was based off of. The Lost World was one of the most anticipated sequels of its time, but does it live up to the legacy of the original?
National Treasure
May 23, 2015 22:57Historians unanimously agree that the only true "national treasure" in American history is Nicolas Cage. In 2004's National Treasure, Nicolas Cage put his skills to the test solving complex riddles and puzzles. Is this movie an amazing treasure, or pointless junk?
Killers
May 23, 2015 22:57Yeah, It's That Bad has an extremely checkered past when it comes to the romantic comedy genre, but perhaps a romantic "action" comedy can help us get over our slump. In 2010, Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl starred in Killers, a movie clearly inspired by Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
I, Robot
May 23, 2015 22:56For many years, an adaptation of Isaac Asimov's classic collection of short stories "I, Robot", had bounced around Hollywood without much progress; but in 2004, a big budget action film starring Will Smith made it to the big screen. Was this a faithful adaption of the source material, or a generic action movie piggy-backing off of the source material's notoriety?
House of the Dead
May 23, 2015 22:56Uwe Boll is one of the most infamous directors in Hollywood; his films are always met by a strong reaction from fans and critics alike. Boll is best known for his video game adaptations, so we decide to delve into the House of the Dead to see if it really is that bad.
The Twilight Saga: New Moon
May 23, 2015 22:54We celebrate our 50th episode by watching the sequel to one of the first movies we ever watched for the podcast. The Twilight series has its fair share of lovers and haters; we dive into New Moon to see if it really is as bad as some people claim it is.
The Butterfly Effect
May 23, 2015 22:54In 2004, Ashton Kutcher starred in an extremely dark and mind bending science-fiction thriller called The Butterfly Effect. This film was a major departure in tone from Kutcher's earlier works, and it received a very negative reception from critics. Is this time travel thriller underrated, or an incomprehensible mess?
The Polar Express
May 23, 2015 22:53In 2004, The Polar Express ushered in a new method of filmmaking: performance capture. This early attempt was met with a mixed reaction from audiences and critics alike, with all sides taking issue with the supposedly dead and soulless appearance of the children. Is this movie really that bad, or is it a new Christmas classic?
Dante's Peak
May 23, 2015 22:51During the 1990's, two competing volcano themed movies appeared in theaters very close to one another: Dante's Peak and Volcano. Pierce Brosnan took a break from being James Bond and took a trip to Dante's Peak.
Jumanji
May 23, 2015 22:501995's Jumanji is one of the most beloved children's movie of that era, yet it was not well received by the critics. We roll the dice to see if this movie still holds up.
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
May 23, 2015 22:50The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was meant to be a big budget adaptation of Alan Moore's graphic novel, but the end result was so bad, the film's director and Sean Connery both decided to quit the movie business.
In Time
May 23, 2015 22:49This was a premium episode for the 2011 film In Time, a dystopian science-fiction action thriller. It currently has a 36% on Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus is that In Time's intriguing premise and appealing cast are easily overpowered by the blunt, heavy-handed storytelling. But is it really that bad?
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
May 23, 2015 22:48After the first Transformers film proved to be such a big box office success, Michael Bay, Shia LaBeouf, and Megan Fox once again teamed up with Optimus Prime and continued their battle with the Decepticons in this ill fated and critically hated sequel.
