Eddie Murphy’s back as Axel Foley in Beverly Hills Cop II (1987), but this sequel’s a hot mess of ‘80s cheese! He’s chasing a boring villain (Jürgen Prochnow, yawn) through old barns, stolen mansions, and the flimsiest “Alphabet Crimes” plot ever. The synth music slaps, and Eddie is always amazing, but the script? Not so much. Is this a nostalgic gem or total trash?

Surprise Bonus Episode! We’re dropping a bonus roast of Death to Smoochy (2002) because… why not? Robin Williams plays a deranged kids’ TV host, Edward Norton is a purple rhino named Smoochy, and Danny DeVito directs this unhinged fever dream. It’s a dark comedy about kiddie show corruption—think ice-skating mob hits and penis-shaped cookies. Is this a misunderstood gem or a total disaster?
Hosts: James Hauser, JP Dozier, Ben Do...

Immortals wants to be 300 so bad—but it’s a CGI-soaked fever dream instead. Henry Cavill’s Theseus swings a sword, Mickey Rourke chews scenery as an evil king, and the gods (Luke Evans, really?) watch from the sidelines. It’s all slow-mo battles, sweaty abs, and a magic bow that… doesn’t matter? Is this mythic mess a hidden gem or total trash? We roast 2 hours of bronze-age nonsense with our trash loving family. Two weeks left in o...

Bella’s back, and she’s moping harder than ever in The Twilight Saga: New Moon. Edward (Robert Pattinson) dumps her, so she cries to Taylor Lautner’s abs—I mean, Jacob—for 130 minutes. Sparkly vampires, shirtless werewolves, and the Volturi’s glitter gang can’t save this slog. Is it a romantic mess or a brooding bust? We roast this teen angst fest with our 110k trash fam. Four weeks into our 1K Patreon push—join the chaos!

Carl Weathers is Jericho “Action” Jackson—a Detroit cop with a mean right hook and meaner one-liners (“How you like your ribs?”). He’s up against Craig T. Nelson’s slimy mob boss in a B-movie bonanza of exploding taxis, mansion car chases, and Vanity’s… questionable musical numbers. This ‘80s flop swings big—does it land or crash? We roast even the ones we love for all of you! Three weeks into our 1K Patreon push—join the madness!

Antonio Banderas trades Zorro for Viking cosplay in The 13th Warrior—a medieval dark epic where an Arab poet battles bear-worshipping cannibals with Norsemen who scream louder than the plot holes. Directed by John McTiernan (then Michael Crichton, oops), this box office bomb swings hard. Is it a sword-slaying epic or a berserker bust? We hack through 90 minutes of mead-soaked madness—thh BMRmy picks the bones. Two weeks into our 1K...

Dial-up modems, rollerblades, and Angelina Jolie’s pixie cut collide in Hackers—a ‘90s cyberpunk fever dream where teen hackers battle a floppy-disk villain (Fisher Stevens, somehow oilier than the plot). Jonny Lee Miller’s Zero Cool hacks the planet, but can he hack this script? We shred this 90-minute time capsule—glowsticks and all. Is it a techno-trash masterpiece or a 404 error?

Jean-Claude Van Damme’s mullet meets John Woo’s slow-mo doves in Hard Target—a ‘90s action fever dream where rich psychos hunt homeless vets for sport. JCVD plays Chance Boudreaux, a Cajun drifter who kicks ass, punches snakes, and rocks denim like it’s a religion. Lance Henriksen chews scenery as the big bad, while Wilford Brimley’s moonshine uncle steals the show with an accent worse than the plot. We dive into this 90-minute exp...

Before Lord of the Rings ruled the fantasy world, there was Willow (1988)—a tale of wizards, warriors, and what has to be the hungriest baby of all time. Warwick Davis plays a farmer-turned-hero, Val Kilmer swaggers in as a rogue swordsman, and together, they take on an evil queen, sketchy magic, and an angry guy named Kael. It’s got action, adventure, and enough ‘80s charm to make you forgive the occasional awkward blue screen. ...

When a band can’t get their demo played, there’s only one logical solution—take a radio station hostage. Airheads (1994) follows three starving rockers armed with water guns and zero brain cells as they stumble their way into the most chaotic publicity stunt ever. Brendan Fraser, Steve Buscemi, and Adam Sandler play the The Lone Rangers (yes, I know), and somehow, they’re still not the dumbest people in the room. Does it rock? Do...

What’s the best way to stop an asteroid from destroying Earth? According to Armageddon (1998), it’s training oil drillers to be astronauts. Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck, and a team of blue-collar misfits blast off to save the world with power tools, slow-motion walks, and lots of jump cuts. It’s big, loud, and completely ridiculous—just how Michael Bay likes it. Does it stand up to the test of time? Let’s fire up the Aerosmith and fi...

Snoogans! Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is what happens when two foul-mouthed stoners go on a cross-country road trip to stop Hollywood from ruining their comic book alter egos.
It’s got everything—cameos, fourth-wall breaks, a chimp sidekick, and more inside jokes than a Kevin Smith fan convention. The plot barely matters, but who cares when the movie is this ridiculous? Is it dumb? Absolutely. Is it hilarious? Also yes. So grab ...

Everyone listens to this episode, and no one quits. Would you like to know more? Starship Troopers (1997) is part sci-fi action, part satire, and all-out bug-squashing ridiculousness.
The future is bright if you love propaganda, giant alien insects, and soldiers who look like they just walked off a soap opera set. It’s got over-the-top action, questionable military strategy, and dialogue so stiff it has to be government-issued.

The Griswolds are back, and this time, they’re taking on Sin City. Vegas Vacation (1997) throws Clark, Ellen, and the kids into a whirlwind of bad bets, worse luck, and Cousin Eddie being… well, Cousin Eddie. Clark gets hooked on gambling, Rusty turns into a high-rolling con man, and somehow, Wayne Newton tries to steal Ellen. It’s chaotic, ridiculous, and proof that maybe the Griswolds should just stay home.

It started with DVD players and street races—who knew it would lead to cars in space? The Fast and the Furious (2001) gave us 4 minute nitrous-fueled drag races, and Vin Diesel growling about family before it was a meme. Paul Walker plays an LAPD officer trying to bust a gang of high-speed criminals but ends up in a bromance with Dom Toretto instead. It’s got muscle cars, bad decisions, and dialogue that shifts harder than a trick...
