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. 64 – Undiscovered

In the 90’s, movies about people discovering life, love and themselves in their 20’s, accompanied by soundtracks that defined the generation captured the zeitgeist of their time.

Ep. 62 – 8 Heads In A Duffel Bag

Ep. 58 – Coneheads

In this conversational attempt to illuminate the positive idiosyncrasies of a cinematic reproduction of a televised comedic presentation, we endeavor to elucidate warm, positive feelings towards a fictional entity long neglected by the oppressors of projected iconography in motion. That may have been a mouthful, but it was written by someone from France. That said, we’re about to do our best to prove to you that Coneheads is not that bad.
