Welcome To The Home Of It’s Not That Bad
It’s the show that does its best to defend the unfairly maligned movies, to find the silver linings in the films deemed “less than great”. Every week, host Jason Whissell is joined by a guest to discuss a movie that has been poorly rated by the critics or by the fans. We do our very best to find good things to say about them, and to show those flicks in a light that you may have not noticed before. We are also always happy to hear what movies you think should be covered, as well as what you thought of the movies themselves. We’ll be posting blogs on here as well as keep you updated as to what to expect in the coming months.

Ep. 146 – Return Of The Living Dead Part 2

It’s not a far stretch to say that if a movie does well enough, Hollywood won’t hesitate to squeeze the ever loving milk out of the teat of the sacred cash cow. If they can bring back actors from the first movie, even better…or is it? Let’s run down to the graveyard to see if this brainless zombie film is better off dead, or if Return Of The Living Dead part 2 is not that bad.
