Disasters in the Making

Disasters in the Making

Entertainment writers Brad Slager and Paul Young deliver their shared desire for the worst Hollywood has to offer. Each week they cover an infamous bad film and go over not just the laughable content but the poor decisions behind the making of a disaster. They will also toss in odd Hollywood news, ridiculous movie marketing, and recommend other newly released bad movies on streaming and elsewhere. Make a tub of high-quality popcorn and settle back for low-quality entertainment!

Hollywood Sends Up a Brick With ‘Juwanna Mann’

August 27, 2026 • 90 mins
Brad Slager and Paul Young head back onto the cinematic court for ‘Juwanna Mann,’ the 2002 basketball comedy that asks what would happen if an arrogant professional player destroyed his career, disguised himself to join a women’s league, deceived everyone around him—and somehow suffered virtually no consequences.

Before entering the movie, Brad and Paul discuss basketball’s maddening final minut...

August 13, 2026 • 91 mins
There’s blood in the floodwater—and Brad Slager and Paul Young are diving straight into the feeding frenzy. In this episode of Disasters in the Making, the guys take on Thrash, the 2026 Netflix disaster movie that throws a hurricane, a flooded coastal town, bull sharks, family drama, and one remarkably inconvenient childbirth into the same churning waters.

Brad and Paul break down the film’s derivative prem...

July 31, 2026 • 98 mins
Brad Slager and Paul Young return to the Disasters in the Making bad-movie Mount Rushmore with Tommy Wiseau’s legendary cult disaster, The Room. From the unforgettable “Oh, hi” greetings and the infamous flower-shop scene to the bizarre football tosses, mystery roof confrontations, awkward love scenes, random breast-cancer subplot, and dialogue that sounds like it was translated through six different soap operas, ...

07-16-26 Not Love, but a Miami Connection

July 16, 2026 • 96 mins
Brad and Paul continue the Disasters in the Making bad-movie Mount Rushmore with the glorious cult chaos of Miami Connection. It has everything a certain kind of ’80s action disaster needs: motorcycle ninjas, drug dealers, martial arts, rock-band sincerity, questionable acting, and the unstoppable power of friendship. The guys dig into the strange magic of Y.K. Kim’s dream project, the Dragon Sound phenomenon, the Orlan...

Disasters in the Making: 07-02-26 “Covering the 5-0 with a blade with SAMURAI COP”

July 16, 2026 • 99 mins
Brad and Paul return to the bad-movie Mount Rushmore with one of the all-time direct-to-video disasters: Samurai Cop. The guys dig into the film’s bargain-bin action glory, from its confused buddy-cop setup and wildly inconsistent wig work to the awkward ADR, questionable fight choreography, exploding vans, fake gunfire, and a hero who barely does anything samurai-related until the movie is almost over. Along the way, they ce...
