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. 129 – Aeon Flux
Live action movies based on animated series can be a tough challenge. Now imagine taking an animated series that initially appeared on MTV’s Liquid Television, a series that made you seriously wonder how good the drugs were back in the early 90’s, give it to a director with one film under her belt, add in a heaping pile of studio interference, and watch the degree of difficulty rise. Time to dive in and see if 2005’s Aeon Flux is not that bad.

Spin Shuffle Skip – Last Action Hero Soundtrack
If the 90’s proved one thing, it was that the movie didn’t have to be very good for the soundtrack to become a smash hit. In 1993, while Arnie served up a dud, the soundtrack was definitely serving music listeners. This week, we dive into one of the better rock soundtracks of the decade, The Last Action Hero.
Below, you’ll see the Spotify link to the album. It should be noted that two songs on the album are not available (at least in Canada): Poison My Eyes by Anthrax and Dream On by Aerosmith. Otherwise, enjoy the tunes and let us know in the comments below which songs would have made your list.

Ep. 128 – Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
In the 90’s, Tomb Raider made waves in the video game world. Posters of Lara Croft adorned the walls of many a teenage boy…and it wasn’t for the gameplay. Naturally, Hollywood can’t say no to an obvious cash cow, and what better way to do that than cast someone known for wearing their lover’s blood around their neck. Odd? Maybe, but so is real life. When it comes to the movies, though, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider is not that bad.

There Can Only Be One – Living Colour
If you wanted to describe Living Colour, some of the things that may come up would be their longevity, insane musicianship and impact on the rock music landscape.

Below, you will find the playlists made by both Marc and myself. Give the songs a spin, and be sure to let us know in the comments below what songs would have made your list.

Keep Watch Pass – Movies That Use Heavy Prosthetics
Practical effects are always the best effects. They’re real…they’re tangible…and when done right, they can turn someone into something magical and otherworldly. When done wrong…well, that’s another story. Lyle Robichaud makes his first KWP appearance to drop his picks from movies that turn the real into the surreal with the art of prosthetics.

Ep. 127 – Studio 666
Since exploding onto the scene, the Foo Fighters have found themselves everywhere. Grammy awards, playing Wembley Stadium, headlining festivals, their music played everywhere…they have done it all. So, what better way to celebrate than with an over 90 minute blood and guts, over the top horror film? Excessive? Maybe…but that’s rock and roll, and in the case of Studio 666, it’s not that bad. Special Guest: Chad Lamasa.

Ep. 126 – Justice League
2017 was truly the age of heroes. Wonder Woman got her own film, Thor and Hulk got to bro-out, Spider-Man came home and Logan bid adieu to the cinematic mutant machine. One film looked to stand tall and team together the denizens of the DC Universe. What we got…well, that’s up for debate. But, in our opinion…Justice League is not that bad. Special guest: Matt Dawson from the Mortalverse Audio Dramas.
