We've got a couple left in the chamber for Super Sequels month, and it's going to be a jam-packed finish. In the penultimate episode of the series, I was joined by Ray Stakenas from the Who Would Win Masters podcast to talk about a comic book adaptation that didn't quite make the grade at first glance but has gathered momentum since its release. It's Lexi Alexander's:

Punisher: War Zone (2008)

Director: Lexi Alexander

Our friend and fellow bad movie lover Ryan is back to take on another one of Marvel's Midnight Suns, as we sink our teeth into what should have been a slam dunk third installment in one of people's favorite pre-MCU franchises. It's David S. Goyer's

Hello Bad Movie Lovers! In the I Need a Hero series finale, we end the series kinda back where we started...with the radio!

The Green Hornet (2011)

Director: Michel Gondry

Writers: Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg

My episode timing may be off, but it's never a bad time to celebrate one of the boldest, bravest, big-studio, anti-capitalist assault on the senses that has ever existed. I was joined by Scot Maupin of The Perfect Show and Solutions from the Multiverse to talk about the reappraisal era for the Wachowskis' masterpiece:

...

In the new Filmmaker in Focus episode, I sat down with Gui Agustini, who you may have seen on Elsbeth, or The Time Traveler's Wife, and he's the voice of Roberto da Costa on X-Men '97, but what you may not know is that he's a very talented and accomplished filmmaker too!

In this interview, we talked about his journey in filmmaking, some of his inspirations, his future in front of and behind the camera, and, of course, a little bit of X-Men '97.

You can find Gui doing all kinds of things from music...

Welcome to a new month and new theme here at Bad Movies We Love, as we celebrate heroes outside the modern sphere. We are going to be taking a look at movies outside the MCU and DCEU, to see how good or bad we used to have it.

My wife Christen joins me to talk about the first rated-R movie she got to see in theaters, the movie that affirmed Michael Bay as a hitmaker, and the movie that showed a new generation what Sean Connery had to offer.

The Rock (1996)

Cage Against the Machine sees its final Monday of the series as I was joined by Ben Vargas, formerly of the Cinema Shitshow, to pull off one last big job and retire in Hawaii, as we take a wild and nasty, but darkly funny look at Paul Schrader's

Welcome to the best of Bad Movies We Love 2025! This is not your typical "Best Of" show. No. We are going to take a look at all the "bad" movies I saw in 2025 that made the scoring cutoff for the regular show criteria, some of which I've already covered on Bad Movie Futures, and others that will be trickling out soon. Plus, I look back at the 2025 show year and do some Bad Movies We Love Hall of Fame inductions. What's not to love?

As we work to close out March, we've got the first leg of a two-day double-header here at the show, as I was joined by Miss Bethany Summersizzle from Aliens on Fire to take a look back at a movie that had a much more prescient message about capitalism and consumerism than I would have thought:

For this Filmmaker in Focus episode, I was joined by Josie and Mitchell Robinson.
