Bad Movies Worse People

This month's Patreon-exclusive Mental Health episode is tied to another episode, Deep Blue Sea. Both are directed by Renny Harlin (possibly his two best films) and both feature Sam Jackson! Geena Davis, playing Samantha Caine, is your typical suburban single mom: she bakes cookies, helps with homework, and occasionally has flashbacks of breaking necks and exploding things. Just your everyday PTA member with a mysterious knack for h...

For this episode we asked Werner Herzog himself to summarize what you can expect. "In the bleak and merciless galaxy, a lone Mandalorian bounty hunter delivers his quarry — a small, ancient creature of untold power — to men whose morality is as withered as the dust on their boots. Yet as he watches the infant taken behind cold doors, a terrible melancholy seeps into his soul, for he knows: they do not wish to nurture this being, bu...

The time has come! In this month's installment of Schlock & Load, Derrick will finally get Jack and Whitney to watch a Cynthia Rothrock movie, 1993's Undefeatable! She plays Kristi Jones, a martial arts expert, who joins forces with a detective, John Miller, to track down a serial killer who victimized her sister. The acting is bottom of the barrel, with a lot of martial arts students and unpaid locals, but the action is top-no...

The Electric State is Netflix's most expensive film at $320 million, as well as one of the most expensive movies ever, period. It follows Michelle and her robot friend Cosmo as they travel across a dystopian America ravaged by a war between humans and robots, looking for her brother. Joined by a veteran and smuggler named Keats and his wisecracking companion robot, Herman, boredom ensues. Despite having a killer cast including Mill...

Han Took Shots First is now available on the Bad Movies Worse People main feed! We're finally getting into the Disney+ show that saved modern Star Wars from the ravages of Rise of Skywalker, season one of The Mandalorian! In this first episode, we meet Mando himself, played by Pedro Pascal before the internet hated him, as well as Greef Karga, The Child (aka Baby Yoda aka Grogu), and IG-11. Not to mention the great Werner Herzog as...

In a follow-up to last year's episode about Batman Forever, this year we're getting into 1997's star-studded turd, BATMAN & ROBIN! Starring George Clooney, Chris O' Donnell, Alicia Silverstone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Uma Thurman, this is Joel Schumacher's second in his planned trilogy of late '90s Batman neon camp. Arnold, as a puntastic Mr. Freeze, is trying to turn Gotham into an arctic region to get revenge for his sick ...

Figuring out what comic book adaptation to do for Schlock & Load is tough when it's a month full of schlock, so we decided to go full-on '80s goofball action with repeat "welcome back" Dolph Lundgren in THE PUNISHER! Pretty much your standard origin story about Frank Castle's family being horrifically murdered by the Mafia, causing him to seek revenge in an increasingly horrific fashion. This one, surprisingly, isn't available ...

Halle Berry does her best Michelle Pfeiffer here, and it doesn't work at all, in Derrick's opinion. We have Halle Berry and Sharon Stone here, two of Hollywood's sexiest. Yet, this movie is oversexed without being sexy as well as being mystical and magical without any magic, and so full of potholes that I'm surprised we don't have more people falling to their deaths to be resurrected by mystical Egyptian hairballs. We'll get all th...

There's only one Friday the 13th this year, so we're diving into the first film in the franchise that features Jason as the burlap sack-wearing masked killer. In this entry, a group of would-be counselors converge on a new camp near Camp Crystal Lake under the tutelage of a new head counselor, where they hear the tale of Jason Voorhees shortly before they start dying in jaw-dropping fashion. Spears, knives, boobs, bikinis, horny te...

Marvel famously buried this Roger Corman-produced B-movie before it could ever be released, but nerds being nerds wouldn't let it die. An almost finished copy of the film has been circulating at comic conventions via bootleg VHS and DVD copies, and it is also available on YouTube. With the MCU's first foray into The Fantastic Four set to release this summer, we decided to check this one out and...

In 1997, Shaquille O' Neill was on top of the world. He was one of the most famous basketball players in the country, he'd won gold at the 1996 Olympics, had 3 rap records, and a film in which he played a genie titled Kazaam. While the albums and film weren't massive successes, it didn't stop him from jumping on another film opportunity, 1997's DC Comics adaptation STEEL! He plays John Henry Irons, a weapons developer for the US mi...

This week's episode is about one of our favorite movies and it's a doozy! FBI agent Sean Archer (John Travolta) is obsessed with bringing down his nemesis and terrorist Castor Troy (Nic Cage) after Troy killed his son in an attempt on Archer's life. After some sci-fi gobbeldy gook, Cage and Travolta swap faces and lives and the heat is on in this classic John Woo action flick featuring some great over-the-top acting from both stars...

It's not a secret that Jack loves Brendan Fraser, so his Mental Health pick for this month is 2000's comedic BEDAZZLED directed by Harold Ramis of Ghostbusters fame. Brendan Fraser is desperate to gain the attention of his beautiful co-worker, so he strikes a deal with the Devil, played by Elizabeth Hurley, in which he will exchange his soul for seven wishes. As you can imagine, the wishes don't go well. This feel-good comedy is ki...

With the passing of Val Kilmer, Derrick decided to pivot his Mental Health choice this month to one of his favorite Kilmer films, 1995's HEAT, directed by Michael Mann. The ultimate heist movie, featuring the first on-screen appearance of Al Pacino and Robert De Niro together. It's a very long movie, with no wasted moments, a deep cast, and some of the best sound design that's ever been committed to film.

Whitney has been riding us about seeing WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE for nearly the entire time we've been doing the show, so we're finally getting to it as her pick for Mental Health month! Directed by Todd Solondz, this film follows middle schooler Dawn Weiner as she faces constant harassment and bullying from other students, her siblings, and even her own mother. This film is planted firmly in the mid-90s with a lot of "f" and "r" b...

In our first year of the podcast, we did an entire month of Michael Bay films for May and called it "It's Gonna Be Bay". Well, we learned from that experience, which was very trying on our mental health, so we vowed never to do that again. Since then, we have done one Michael Bay movie per year on the last Monday before May, and this year is no exception. We're finally discussing one of Bay's only truly good films, THE ROCK from 19...
