Terrible gambling advice aside, is there anything else redeeming about Passenger 57? Critics and audiences have given it a low score, but still, the movie has its die-hard (pun intended) fans. Wesley Snipes gets his first crack at starring in an action movie and shows that he has martial arts chops, but is there any other meat on the bone?

Sho Kosugi made a name for himself starring in ninja movies in the 1980s and after watching this it made us want to dive even deeper into his filmography. This is the third time one of his movies has been covered on our show, but the first in which he is the protagonist. This movie has more ninja gadgets than someone could carry, even though these guys seem to have 100 pockets each. It's 80s cheese mixed with legitimately awesome stunt work and insane plotting. Hope you enjoy it! SUPPORT US...

Since this is a milestone mailbag for the show, we decided to turn the tables and make you answer our questions! We spent the entire episode calling listeners and hitting them with rapid-fire questions about Arnold Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Chuck Norris, Jean Claude Van Damme, and way more! We even made some of them plant their flags and pick a trash can full of dirt winner from the BMR Cast! Enjoy this turning of the tables! Email the show: [email protected] Leave a voicemail:...

The critics hated this Brat-Pack western starring Emilio Estevez, Charlie Sheen, and Kiefer Sutherland, and even though it was a hit enough with audiences to spawn a sequel the critics thought this was just straight 80's cheese, even though it's supposed to be in the 1880s. Does the movie deserve the title of Bad Movie, or is it much better than critics gave it credit for? SUPPORT US ON PATREON TO HELP US CONTINUE THESE SHOWS AND BRING YOU EVEN MORE CONTENT -...

Cannon Films liked the script from Rambo 2, but hated the budget so they passed and then decided to make their own version! Chuck Norris has to head back into Vietnam, beard first to take out bad guys and bring his fellow Americans home. Featuring a smack-talking performance from James Hong and some insane stunts, but is that enough to make this a bad movie that rules?

We could have had Snake Plissken in space, but instead, we end up with Desolation Jones on Mars in what is essentially John Carpenter's goodbye to the studio system. Ice Cube replaces Kurt Russell, throw in Natasha Henstridge and Jason Statham (with hair!) and you've got the makings for a cult classic! But does the movie deserve a second life? Critics and audiences alike haven't been kind to it, so we take our swing to see if Ghosts of Mars is a bad movie that rules! SUPPORT US ON PATREON TO...

Arnold makes every movie better, but what can he do with a live-action Looney Tunes remake like The Villain? Kirk Douglas and Ann-Margret co-star with him as he was just figuring things out acting-wise. Regardless, does our primary thesis still hold water, or is this a cartoon that didn't lean enough into the cartooniness of its premise?

Even though critics came down on this film hard, most movie-goers gave this movie a TEN!! So who is right? Today we look at Varsity Blues to see if it still holds up as a great football movie, a great teen movie, and a a great James Vanderbeek movie (do such things exist?). At the very least it has an insane performance from Jon Voight with a little bit of Paul Walker sprinkled into the mix. If you dislike football, you don't want this movie!

Some say this is the greatest Bad movie of all time, up there with The Room & Troll 2, but still, we had never seen Samurai Cop ourselves. Having made our film previously with the same budget, we have a soft spot for micro-budget indies, and this one starring Matt Hannon (later Matt Karedas) and Robert Z'Dar (Tango & Cash) has to be seen to be believed. We delved into this cop movie where they don't really cop. Keep it warm. Help support the creation of our shows and get access to...

This movie is like putting the best football players on a team and then they lose to the New York Jets. A seriously stunning cast of actors, featuring John Candy, Richard Lewis, John C. McGinley, Ellen Greene & Charles Rocket just rolled out of bed and decided to make a comedy with the boldest of approaches. What if we don't land a single joke? Sadly, this movie is more remembered for being the last film made by John Candy (Canadian Bacon filmed earlier). James, Rob, Nicole, and Patrick...

The embodiment of "we have Platoon at home", this Cannon Film was a far cry from their normal excess and nonsense as it looks like they tried to make a serious Vietnam movie with Michael Dudikoff (the guy from the American Ninja movies). Then they did the most Cannon thing ever and changed the name after Platoon came out to sound just like it. But is it any good? You'll have to listen to find out!

This prophetic movie may have disappeared (seriously, try and find it), but the legacy of it lives on. Was it a warning to the future that we all ignored, or was it a sign of the times that we just didn't realize was happening 30 long years ago? Jeremy Piven and David Spade star in this college flick about political correctness.

A remake of the original Cabin Fever from just 14 years ago, because someone was brave enough to ask the question - "what if we did this movie again, but this time it sucked?"

Steven Seagal and his prison durag team up with Ja Rule as they both try their best to embarrass themselves in this early 2000s action movie that takes place on Alcatraz. The only people trying to break out are the people that are embarrassed to be in this movie. Because of the time it came out, it does carry a certain charm from that era, and there is lots of ridiculousness to love and roast.

Did this movie deserve the beating it got from critics and audiences? The Lost World:Jurassic Park followed up one of the most beloved movies of all time, and it split audiences and critics down the middle. Jeff Goldblum was the only star that returned, and adding in Julianne Moore and Vince Vaughn was a big swing.
