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. 221 – In The Lost Lands
Stop me if you’ve heard this one…a witch and a hunter walk into an apocalyptic wasteland. The witch says, “Where are we going”? The hunter says “Into the lands”. The witch says, “It’s all land”. The hunter says, “Yeah…we’re lost”. That joke is really bad, but let’s dive in to see if In The Lost Lands is not that bad.

Spin Shuffle Skip – Rocky IV Soundtrack
