Bad Movies We Love

Doing this podcast and others has presented a lot of cool and unique opportunities for me. I don't always have the ability to share them like this, but a friend put me onto Sonic Dash. We got a prompt and had 48 hours to craft a 2-minute piece of audio from scratch. No premade music, no premade sound effects, no premade anything. I spent a few hours on preproduction, but only had about 5-6 hours of production time to design and record all the foley effects, write the script, rehearse, record that, edit, and master. In hindsight, I would have...

July is heating up, and the Romans are taking off all their clothes! I was joined by a friend and my Cunk'd collaborator, Jake Crawford, to dive into the history, the legacy, the decadence, the death, and the debauchery of one of cinema's true relics. From the costumes to the sets, and from the props to the sex, it can only be Tinto Brass':

#JunefferLopez continues as my wife, Christen, joined me to get our feet wet in the Rom-Com-a-thon space, talking about one of her favorites from her teenage years, whether it holds up, and some personal anecdotes from our wedding. It's the movie that made Jennifer Lopez undeniable.

Don't look now, but it's the unofficial 100th episode of Bad Movies We Love! Thank you to all the brave souls who have taken a chance on the show and joined The Resistance.

Newman from Movies 4 Dayz stopped by the virtual studio to howl at the moon and wax philosophically about the nature of the beast within us all. Seems perfectly reasonable when taking on a ridiculous premise like an alcoholic werewolf police officer. It's Lowell Dean's sequel to his pet project.

A demonic djinn attempts to grant its owner three wishes, which will allow him to summon his brethren to Earth.

What would you wish for? I wished for a new guest to hang out and talk about a bad movie they love and I got it! I was joined by Sully, from the Jacked Up Review Show, to talk about what we'd wish for along with the lore and splendor of a 90s horror film that wears its love for the genre on its celluloid sleeve. We're talking:

With the Los Angeles area fires raging, I wasn't sure if there would be an episode this week...or any time soon. The first responders have been amazing and the people of the city and our neighbors have really come together to help. So, here are a couple of links to help and where to find help. This episode is dedicated to my home and the people here fighting for it.

For this episode, I was joined by Stephen from The Stacks Podcast to talk about an Italian giallo so desperate to masquerade as American that it...

Happy 2025! Welcome to Season 4 of Bad Movies We Love! To get things started, during January we are going themeless as we welcome in new faces and new friends for a variety of movies.

Surprise! It's the Bad Movies We Love Christmas Special! Maybe you didn't think it would happen during Dystopian December, but it's a Christmas Miracle! Scott Cole joined me for last year's Christmas party with Mixed Nuts and he's back along with our friend Vanya Garraway to talk about her pick for the holiday: Untamed Heart (not a bad movie).

Dystopian December has arrived, but I couldn't quite let go of Lundgren Calling. I was so happy to hear that Dolph is now cancer-free, so Vee from the Movies You Missed podcast joined me once again to get wet-wired with a dystopian sci-fi flick that also happens to be a techno-thriller where Lundgren got second billing. We're talking about Robert Longo's cult classic: Johnny Mnemonic.

#LundgrenCalling has been a wonderful month, but all good things must come to an end. The good news is that I was joined once again by Ryan (aka TheChewDefense) to take a look back at the first Marvel movie made for a theatrical release and a definitive role in Dolph Lundgren's career. That's right! We're talking about The Punisher.

Hello bad movie lovers! I am back from hiatus and ready to rock with #LundgrenCalling. Covid can't keep me down and fortunately I had Vanya Garraway from Revue Cinema back on the show to help lift my spirits and I think I was able to laugh away most of the bad germs because we had a ridiculously fun time talking sparking the Dolph Lundgren celebration month with Showdown in Little Tokyo.
