This week, a love letter to Tony Scott’s patriotic, time-twisting thriller Déjà Vu. Denzel Washington stars as ATF agent Doug Carlin, who investigates a New Orleans ferry explosion—and stumbles into a government surveillance program that somehow also doubles as a time machine with excellent satellite coverage.
It’s part detective story, part love story, 100 percent Tony Scott energy: orange filters, low flying helicopt...
This week, on a very special episode, Greg picks a comedy. Great Bad Movies are usually accidentally funny. Game Night is just actually funny. Really, really funny. But you know what? Also a great action movie AND thriller.
Greg and Joe roll the dice on 2018’s Game Night, the sharp, fast, and surprisingly stylish action comedy from John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein. They break down the cast (Jason Bateman, Rachel McAdam...
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. In a very special episode of Great Bad Movies, our incredible editor Sam picks our movie, and then plants the idea in our dreams. So now we think it was our idea. (He did that by invoking our relationships with our fathers. It's a whole thing.)
While Greg and Joe both think this is one of Christopher Nolan's best movies, it is not without some asterisks. Hence: A perfect movie for Sam to pick for our show....
On a very special "Joe's Pick" episode of Great Bad Movies, we grab our white-rimmed sunglasses and head to Tokyo for 2021's Kate, with the always amazing Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Woody Harrelson. There's a lot to say about his movie, but most importantly you should know that David Leitch produced it, and that's why it's immediately on our list 😀
Joe and Greg break it down, laugh a lot, and learn something about themselves a...
To celebrate Isaac Slade of the Fray's new solo career (and Greg's opening spot at his first solo show,) Isaac joins Greg and Joe to discuss what he calls "one of the best movies he's ever seen." Which, it goes without saying, makes him the perfect guest for Great Bad Movies.
This episode has it all: Isaac hearing Bruce Willis' music for the first time, a henchman who looks exactly like Chris Martin of Coldplay, Kevin Smith rewr...
This week on Really Entertaining A-list B-movies:
Bob Odenkirk (w/ Resting Chuck Norris Face) is an unremarkable family man—or so everyone thinks. After a home invasion leaves him humiliated, his buried skills as a lethal former government operative resurface with a vengeance. What follows is a bone-crunching, darkly funny rampage through the criminal underworld, featuring stolen kitty bracelets, bus fights that feel like a stun...
Keanu Reeves (“Jeff,” from Paula Abdul’s Rush Rush video) stars in Point Break, a film masquerading as action cinema but in truth a haunting meditation on identity, lawlessness, and the futility of resisting the ocean’s will. (Or at least we assume Werner Herzog would describe it that way.) Johnny Utah, a former quarterback now shackled to bureaucracy, descends into the chaotic underworld of surfers who rob banks not for money, but...

What happens when you give $70M to incredibly thoughtful people who want to make a big action movie? One host says something almost entirely great. The other has… Some thoughts 🙂. It's time for Joe and Greg to have the conversation that needed to happen about The Old Guard.

Stuffed with whatever you call the opposite of explanation, Tenet is one of the biggest and best movies of our time by one of our biggest and best filmmakers alive. Is it kind of heartless? Does Sir Michael Caine forget his usual Nolan exposition duties? Is it great and bad? Now is the time for this conversation.

The very conversation that needed a 2nd part, Greg & Joe's discussion of the 7th Mission:Impossible film might be considered treason. Nothing could be more exciting than a new Mission:Impossible movie coming out this week, so it was time to do a deep dive on the previous film, Dead Reckoning Part 1.

What if Jason Bourne was also TurboTax? Ben Affleck is an autistic math savant who moonlights as a lethal assassin and part-time financial consultant for warlords. And you know what? One of the hosts of this show loves this movie.

30 years later, it hasn't aged a day! (Just kidding.)
If you can get past Janice to join us for this episode, and that’s a BIG if… Greg and Joe’s conversation will feel a lot like your missions in Cairo: A cake walk, thanks to the training. So hop on your horse, walk it into an elevator, and get on our level 😀

We’re celebrating our 1st anniversary with the turbo-charged, melodrama-soaked, gravity-defying classic that redefined what a Great Bad Movie truly is. Fast Five is the Citizen Kane of car-based heist movies.
We saved this one for a special occasion, because Fast Five isn’t just any movie — it’s a beautifully chaotic mix of telenovela-level emotional showdowns, dialogue that sounds philosophical but means almost nothing, a...
We are joined by our inaugural guest, the hilarious Scott Erickson to discuss a fake movie about a billionaire who uses his money to pursue his selfish goals. Not really a thing that happens IRL. We’ll dive into the real questions: What ice cream does Joe spare no expense on? Should Neapolitan ice cream be equally chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry? How has Jeff Goldblum somehow made sweaty chaos theory sexy? There’s obvi...
Dev Patel woke up and chose absolute (heartbreaking) chaos, directing himself in a revenge thriller that's basically "John Wick meets Indian mythology but more SAD and ANGRY." This masterpiece has Patel literally wearing a gorilla mask to get repeatedly beaten in underground fight clubs for money before transforming into a one-man apocalypse against corrupt elites.
But what makes this cinematic sledgehammer truly magnifice...
It’s time to celebrate the heroes at the Bio-Cover Unit, and make fun of families who bizarrely graze each other’s faces with their fingers.
Joe decides if loving this movie is wrong, he doesn’t want to be right. Greg has divisive, controversial takes on John Travolta and Boat Chases, and an unfettered love of loud fabrics and BOOM SHOES.
This episode is dedicated in loving memory to Anderson, Montgomery, Berkely,...
Tom Cruise refuses to age or stop being the main character of reality itself. He can’t stop, because he has to train a bunch of beautiful people to fly into a weirdly specific trench run that's totally not the Death Star. This is cinema at its most perfectly ridiculous and ridiculously perfect.
What elevation is the hard deck right now? Is that the biggest American flag ever made in their staff room? Is Ed O’Neal in th...
