Steve and Justin head back to Canada to take a deep dive into RYAN’S BABE, a movie so deeply weird and captivating that its one and only review on Rotten Tomatoes sums it up better than we ever could:

"This dimwitted yet bizarrely Homer-ian road trip movie gets the conventions of filmmaking so wrong that it forces you to question the value and meaning of doing it right.” Daniel Barnes

This must-see Disasterpiecce packs more into 90 ...

In 1970, The Beatles released their final-and worst-studio album, Let It Be. Since then, its underwhelming title track has become associated with charity events, social causes, drunk boomer sing-alongs, and is probably the favorite song of the cringiest person you know.

But in 2010, the Norwegian travel show Gylne Tider pulled off the impossible by making the song actually entertaining for the first time. With the help of over two d...

Sequel Summer comes to an end with one hell of a bang as Justin’s dad, David Dodd (iHeartRadio), joins the boys to talk about PREDATOR 2, a movie so big, brash, loud, violent, and confusing that the appearance of Gary Busey actually provides some calm and clarity.

Justin, Steve, and David try to get to the bottom of some of the movie’s most pressing questions, like: “Why is the Predator in L.A.?” and “Wait, but why is the Predator i...

This week, the boys interrupt their regularly scheduled programming to dive into the meme-factory disasterpiece that is 2025’s War of the Worlds. Like an actual alien invasion, this Amazon ad masquerading as a “screenlife” sci-fi/horror film came out of nowhere and left a trail of devastation in its wake.

Justin and Steve may never recover after enduring some of the laziest, cheapest filmmaking they’ve ever witnessed. It feels almos...

The Disasterpiece Podcast is a year old! And we’re celebrating our big Number 1 by looking at a GIGANTIC Number 2 — BIRDEMIC 2: THE RESURRECTION

Once again, we forced three-peat guest host Rollie Williams (Climate Town) to watch this even worse installment of James Nguyen’s climate disaster/romantic thriller trilogy.

What’s the difference between the first and second Birdemic movies? Not much! However, it still manages to be a ...

This week, Justin and Steve welcome Paul Ramsdell back to the podcast to talk about the original CHEERS spin-off you probably didn’t know existed: THE TORTELLIS.

A show for anyone who watched CHEERS and said to themselves, “I like this, but I want to see more of the characters' ex-spouses, especially if they’re terrible people.”

It’s hard to imagine anyone being able to love Nick Tortelli, or how anyone at NBC thought this could be a...

The shack is back? More like "The shack is whack!"

Justin and Steve head to the links for another round of Sequel Summer and tee up some very hot takes on Caddyshack II. This completely unnecessary follow-up to one of the most beloved sports comedies of the '80s forgets one important element that made the original a classic… sports!

Because why should a movie called Caddyshack II have anything to do with caddies or where they hang ou...

How do you make a spin-off of one of the most popular TV shows of all time while the original is still on the air?
You show the audience what happens… at night.

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s... Duckie from PRETTY IN PINK? 
No, wait! It’s SUPERMAN IV: THE QUEST FOR PEACE!

To gear up for the release of SUPERMAN, Steve and Justin are talking about the fourth installment of the original Superman film series—and Christopher Reeve’s final flight in the world’s most famous Speedo.

And who better to take the reins for the big finale than Cannon Films, who, in the same year as QUEST FOR PEACE, also...

Yes. This episode is about Stephen Baldwin, the party-boy actor who became a born-again religious grifter and the cringiest man on TikTok, and who also happens to be the worst installment in the Baldwin quadrilogy.

Steve and Justin take a look at the man through his faith-based YouTube special, HEAVEN, HOW I GOT HERE: THE STORY OF THE THIEF ON THE CROSS.
They’ll discover that all it takes to change a man is witnessing the greatest t...

This week, DISASTERPIECE celebrates the 50th anniversary of JAWS by taking a look at its worst sequel, JAWS: THE REVENGE … A movie so crazy and misguided that a shark seeking personal revenge on the Brody family is the least of its problems.

Join Steve and Justin as they navigate a sea of insane decision-making that includes (but is not limited to): a magic shark that can roar, Michael Caine in shorts, telepathy, extremely horny cha...

Justin and Steve are here to podcast and chew bubble gum. And we’re all out of bubble gum…

It’s time for DISASTERPIECE to cover their first-ever video game sequel: DUKE NUKEM FOREVER, the worst entry in a beloved—and wildly offensive—first-person shooter franchise. A game in development for so long that many of the teens who weren’t allowed to play the original had kids by the time it was released.

But even though DUKE NUKEM FOREVER ...

The weather’s getting nicer and the multiplexes are packed with IP, which can only mean one thing… It’s SEQUEL SUMMER!

Justin and Steve are spending the next three months exploring some of the worst #2s of all time—starting with the infamous cult disaster: Highlander II: The Quickening.

“There should have only been ONE!” pretty much sums up how the boys feel about it, especially since they got their hands on the notorious, out-of-pri...

It’s high art! It’s shlock trash! It’s maybe a money laundering scheme?! It’s AFTER LAST SEASON, a true oddity of a film that manages to simultaneously be the most abstract and literal-minded movie you’ve ever seen. This week Justin and Steve meld their brains to explore the mind of filmmaker Mark Region. Not only is this director surrounded by mystery, but the boys have reason to believe he doesn’t exist at all.

Steve & Justin are here in NYC to shed some light on SPIDER-MAN: TURN OFF THE DARK. The multimillion-dollar Broadway musical-Disasterpiece that flopped so hard it should have killed the movie musical adaptation trend before it even started. Unfortunately, all it killed was its producer, even if it didn’t stop trying to end the lives of various cast members.

We’re wrapping up CATASTANIC by going back out to sea with TITANIC II. It’s not a sequel to 1997’s TITANIC, but the creative minds at The Asylum film company sure want to trick your Nana into thinking it is.

Wave goodbye to Justin and Steve as they board the maiden voyage of a ship that has less of a chance of crossing that ocean than a cruise liner made of concrete. This D-tier action thriller is more POSEIDON ADVENTURE than roman...
