Resident Evil: Extinction (2007) turns the zombie apocalypse into a desert road trip gone wrong! Milla Jovovich’s Alice battles Umbrella’s clones, killer crows, and a mutant Dr. Isaacs—while a convoy of survivors bickers in a Mad Max reject caravan. This ‘00s sci-fi mess has bad CGI, worse dialogue, and a plot that’s DOA. Is this a cult classic or total trash?

Man of Steel (2013) tries to reboot Superman with Henry Cavill—but is it a CGI-heavy wreck! Explosions, brooding stares, and a Zod fight that flattens Metropolis—yikes! This $225M blockbuster is packed with dark vibes, questionable choices, and zero fun. Is this a superhero epic or total trash?

Hell Comes to Frogtown (1988) is a post-apocalyptic fever dream where Roddy Piper fights frog mutants to save humanity’s babies! This B-movie gem has leather-clad women, cheesy one-liners, and a plot so bonkers it defies logic. Is this a cult classic or total trash?

Super Mario Bros. (1993) takes Mario and Luigi into a dystopian Mushroom Kingdom—where Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo fight a dinosaur dictator (Dennis Hopper) with bad haircuts and terrible dialogue! This ‘90s video game flop is packed with weird goombas, the wrong princess, and a plot that makes no sense. Is this a cult classic or total trash?

John Carter (2012) is a $250M sci-fi flop that sends Taylor Kitsch to Mars—where he fights CGI aliens, jumps really far, and… red team fights blue team? Lynn Collins tries to save it, but the plot’s a mess, the names are unpronounceable (Tharks? Barsoom?), and the box office fell flat. Is this a misunderstood epic or total trash?

Jim Varney’s Ernest P. Worrell is back in Ernest Goes to Camp (1987)—and it’s a slapstick disaster! Ernest becomes a camp counselor, battles bratty kids, and fights evil developers with… turtles? This ‘80s kids’ flick is packed with goofy stunts, wild accents, and Ernest’s “KnoWhutIMean?” catchphrase. Is this a nostalgic gem or total trash?

Get ready for a ‘90s cheese fest with Mortal Kombat (1995)! Liu Kang, Sonya, and Johnny Cage fight Shang Tsung in a tournament to save Earth—but it’s all bad CGI, stiff animatronics, and “Finish Him!” fails. The techno soundtrack slaps, but the acting? Fatality! Is this a cult classic or total trash?

Nicolas Cage is Johnny Blaze in Ghost Rider (2007)—a flaming-skull biker who sold his soul for… love? This ‘00s CGI nightmare has jellybean obsessions, demon deals, and Sam Elliott as a cowboy ghost. It’s Cage at his unhinged best (or worst?). Is this a fiery flop or a misunderstood gem?

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?

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.

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.
