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. 116 – Superhero Movie
When it comes to cinema, many movies are based on Joseph Campbell’s The Hero’s Journey. However, I’m fairly certain that nowhere in that conceptualization were flaming corpses, sprinkler pees and highly flammable flatulence. Nevertheless, it’s time to look behind the mask to see if Superhero Movie is not that bad.

Spin Shuffle Skip – Guardians Of The Galaxy Awesome Mix Vol. 1
Normally, when people think of the biggest soundtracks of all time, they often refer to movies from the 90’s. However, Guardians Of The Galaxy proved not only that a ragtag bunch of badass anti-heroes could work as a film, but a badass collection of classic tunes would make for one of the biggest superhero movie soundtracks of all time. Listen in as a dig into Peter Quill’s mixtape to find our spin, shuffle and skip picks.
Below, we’ve posted a playlist made up of songs on the album, as the album itself is not on Spotify. Be sure to let us know in the comments below which songs would have made your list.

There Can Only Be One – Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Marc Shea from the Performance Anxiety podcast joins the show for the first time to introduce me to Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. We go through 10 albums of their discography and stumble on some real gems. What songs made our lists? Listen in and find out.
Below, you will find the playlists made by both Marc and I through the episode. It should be noted that The Howl Sessions, American X: Baby 81 Sessions and The Effects Of 333 are not on Spotify, so tracks from those albums could not be posted into the list. My choice of Mercy was put in the list from their Live In Paris album as it’s the only version available on Spotify. You can find the other songs mentioned in the show on YouTube. Be sure to let us know in the comments below what songs would have made your list.
