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.

Keep Watch Pass – Movies With “Bad” CGI
There’s something wrong down on the render farm. The evolution of CGI in film has come a long, long way and has created imagery on the big screen that we could not look away from…for better or worse. Now, Lyle Robichaud from 640AM Toronto returns to drop his Keep, Watch and Pass picks of films that could have used a graphics card update.

Ep. 141 – The Black Hole
When you think of Disney movies, you tend to think of animated tales featuring talking animals, wonderful songs and tales that stand the test of time. In 1979, Disney also meant laser battles, killer robots that would spin blade your insides out, and endings that found you in literal hell. Fun! Let’s take a trip back in time to see if The Black Hole is not that bad.

Ep. 140 – Godzilla (1998)
There is a history of knock off products being created and sold as being just like the real thing. Toys, purses, fast food franchises…nothing is safe from being copied and passed off in foreign markets. The same thing can happen in movies too, and in 1998, North America made their own monster movie. Genuine or cheap knock off? You decide as we look to see if Godzilla is not that bad.
