    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. 103 – The Monster Squad

    Remember that time when Universal wanted to create their own dark universe with a bunch of monster movies. That worked out well, right? Problem is, one movie already did that and didn’t need Tom Cruise. Truth be told, it’s a much better movie too. So, our job this week is easy when we tell you that The Monster Squad is not that bad. Special Guest: Peter from The Movie Duel Podcast.

  • There Can Only Be One – Linkin Park

    They brought a ferocity to the nu-metal genre. They changed the idea of what a rap-rock collaboration could sound like. They exploded on to the scene, and left a hole in our collective hearts when Chester Bennignton left us. This week, Gomez from The Sleevie G Show go through 8 of Linkin Park’s studio albums and pick our fav songs from those discs. Join us and take a trip down the road and one step closer to their musical genius.

    Below, you will find the picks from both Gomez and myself. Have a listen, enjoy the songs, and let us know in the comments below what songs would have made your list.

  • Keep Watch Pass – Movies With A Number In The Title

    We’re going by the numbers with this one, with a few rules…no sequels where the number is the sequel number, and the number has to be an actual number, not just spelled out. Rules be rules, and we followed them to the letter…or number. Which three…sorry, 3…movies made our lists? Listen in and find out.

  • Ep. 102 – Timeline

    They say that the book is always better than the movie. However, what happens when a famed author, a famed director and a decent cast take a book, lauded by medieval scholars, and try to recreate the magic of the written word? Well, it’s on this show, so what do you think? But seriously, we’re here to tell you that Timeline is not that bad.

  • Keep Watch Pass – Movies Of 1993

    Are you ready to feel old? We’re taking a trip back in time 30 years to find out which movies fit our Keep Watch Pass criteria. So sit back, grab a Hawaiian Punch and rock your comfiest plaid…we’re going back in time!

  • Ep. 101 – Jason X

    There are things that we expect to see make the leap from Earth to space…rockets, shuttles, Elon Musk’s Tesla Roadster. However, if someone said they expect to see the goalie from Crystal Lake’s pick-up hockey team reach celestial ascension, you might wonder what they were smoking. You may also wonder what we’re smoking when we tell you that Jason X is not that bad.

  • Ep. 100 – The Room

    For the first 99 episodes of this podcast, we have done our very best to find the good things to say about films that were unfairly maligned. But now…we may have finally met our match. It may not be easy…we may strain our brains with the mental gymnastics required to find the silver linings…but we’ll try our best to shed some light on The Room in this, the 100th episode of It’s Not That Bad.

  • There Can Only Be One – Counting Crows

    When they burst on to the scene in 1993, they were the talk of the music world. Covering rock, folk, country and pop all in their signature sound, the Counting Crows were everywhere. Now, with the help of Brian from My Weekly Mixtape, we go through their studio discography and make a playlist with only one song from each album. What songs are your favs Be sure to let us know.

    Below, you will find our picks in two Spotify playlists. Beneath that, you will also find the Youtube link to the Amazon exclusive track, August & Everything After that Brian talked about in the episode. What songs would have made your list? let us know in the comments below.

  • Keep Watch Pass – Buddy Movies

    They are the dynamic duos, the gruesome twosomes, the one-two punch, the ying to each others’ yang. You can’t have one without the other, and the movies wouldn’t be the same if they weren’t together. This week, we look at the best, the meh and the dregs of buddy movies. Which ones did we pick? Which ones would you choose? Tune in and find out.

  • Ep. 99 – Volcano

    In 2004, Bad Religion released the song Los Angeles Is Burning. The song has references to Orwell’s 1984…but let’s be honest. We all know that deep down, what they were really singing about was the 1997 movie Volcano…and sing about it, they should because that film is not that bad.
