Best of the Rest
Each week on Best of the Rest we take a second look at a movie that was poorly received upon release, but challenge ourselves to only talk about what the movie does well. Maybe not every movie is great, but all movies have GREATNESS!
Episodes
For the final episode of the podcast, we revisit the one that started it all: GREEN LANTERN! This time we're diving into the extended cut of the film, and we are joined one last time by Bob Buel.

Todd Hayne's love letter to the life and music of Bob Dylan may have pleased critics, but didn't generate much revenue. More importantly, the movie had a massive impact on Chris and he wants Andrew to watch it.

Listener demands month comes to an end with yet another parody film! Although it's not considered one of Mel Brooks' best films by most, for 90s kids Men In TIghts is the definitive telling of the Robin Hood legend.

Long before The Avengers, the View Askewniverse gave us Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, which is a sequel to four loosely connected films. While some critics wrote favorably of the movie, audiences did not show up in the theaters. This week we take a second look at this stoner comedy classic to discuss everything it got right. Bong indeed.

Just a few years after the massive success of Jurassic Park, another Michael Crichton sci-fi disaster novel was adapted. Unfortunately, the legacy of Sphere is far inferior to the dinosaur movie. But this week we're celebrating the mostly forgotten underwater thriller, with its great cast and thrilling and creative use of the unknown and the unseen.
