This is Good Movies we Love! A Bad Movies We Love exclusive for Frontlines members coming to you on the main feed for the first 24-hours because we are closing out Cage Against the Machine with a fan favorite on its 30th anniversary! 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.

Welcome to Bad Movie Futures! A Resistance: Frontlines show for members only, but this one was just too good to keep to ourselves during Women's Month.

We are a few days removed from Valentine's Day and, since we are still in the middle of celebrating horror month here at the show, Joel, Miranda, and from Weekend and Deckard's are here to take a look at what's been called the most expensive break-up song ever. Sticking with adaptations of the Colorado Cannibal story, we pop the cork on the first Good Movies We Love with Trey Parker and Matt Stone's:

Cannibal the Musical (1993)

We are kicking things into high gear for horror month here at the show, as my friend and prolific horror author Jonathan Janz joined me for a harrowing trek through the Sierra Nevadas to talk about the wit, the whimsy, and the wonderfully weird world of Antonia Bird's

My wife Christen is back on the main show to break in the first "official" On The Bubble Pick. We talk about our different upbringings, the theme of inattentive parenting that seems to pop up in all the movies we talk about, and the casual portrayal of family-friendly AI in the 1980s, as we dive into the Disney Channel TV Movie:

Not Quite Human (1987)

For this Spotlight Session episode, broadcaster, musician, actress, multimedia artist, and director Sook-Yin Lee is our Filmmaker in Focus.
