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.

Grading On A Curve – Movies Of 2023
2023 has had its ups and downs. Writers and actors went on strike, superheroes crashed and burned and Barbie went full nuclear at the box office. On this show, though, we wrap up the year a little differently. We like to take a bunch of people, subject them to the worst the year had to offer and see if they survive. We’re a little sadistic, but don’t worry…we all lived to talk about it right here on the latest edition of Grading On A Curve. Guests on the panel this episode include Carson Elcome, Lyle Robichaud and Peter from the Movie Duel Podcast!

There Can Only Be One – One and Done Vol. 1
What better way to wrap up 2023 than to show some love to the artists out there with only one album?

You’ll have to tune in and find out.

There has been a lot happening in film this year, so what better way to wrap it up than to take a look at the films we saw this past year and to pick the three that meet our Keep, Watch and Pass criteria.

Ep. 111 – Jingle All The Way
It’s Christmas time and people are gathered around their fireplaces watching Hallmark holiday movies with their loved ones, some egg nog and filled with holiday cheer. In this household, we watch movies where people are attacked, trampled, manic and showing a clear disregard for the safety of the general public. No bah humbugs for us though, because Jingle All The Way is not that bad.

There Can Only Be One – The Nixons
Sometimes, you do an episode because you absolutely appreciate a band. That’s the case this week as we go through 7 albums from The Nixons. If you like hard rock, good songwriting and that 90’s hard-hitting bombastic sound, look no further. Also, be sure to tune in all the way through for a very special announcement about the future of this show. Big things coming!
Below, you’ll find the playlists created by both Kerry and I. Be sure to go through, check out the songs, and let us know which songs you would have added to your list. Also, below the playlists, I’ve added the YouTube link to their single Song Of The Year. It wasn’t available for our lists, but bears listening to regardless. Enjoy!

Ep. 110 – Spawn
In 1997, the Spawn animated series debuted on HBO. It proved that the world was ready for a dark, violent gritty take on the character that graced the pages of the Image Comics series. Also in 1997, Spawn debuted on the big screen. It didn’t fare as well. But fear not, as we prepare to take on the hellish task of proving that Spawn the movie is not that bad.

Which films made our list? Listen in and find out.

Well, if your answer doesn’t include death, re-animation or cannibalism, you might be falling a little short of 1993’s standards. But there’s no need for a zombie cookout here, because we’re here to tell you that My Boyfriend’s Back is not that bad.

There Can Only Be One – Foo Fighters
A band created in the aftermath of loss, now dealing with the aftermath of more loss, the Foo Fighters have proven to be one of the most resilient bands in rock today. We look back at 15 albums in their studio discography and pick one song from each, making our personal playlists. Which songs make the cut? Will the playlist be ever long? Listen in and find out.
Below, you will find the playlists made by both Kerry and I. A couple of notes on these playlists: 1) Kerry’s selection of Down In The Park (found on Songs In The Key Of X) is unfortunately not available on Spotify. However, we’ve but that song’s YouTube link below so you can enjoy it. B) You’ll notice that my list is 16 songs. That’s because, for your enjoyment, I’ve added Wheels to my list, even though by show rules it doesn’t qualify. Doesn’t mean you have to miss out. Enjoy.
