  • 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. 57 – Oscar

    Take a French comedy stage play about an Italian-American gangster in 1930’s New York filmed in Orlando and there’s only one thing you can do…make the star a guy who made the steps in Philadelphia famous and have it directed by the guy behind Beverly Hills Cop 3. No atlas needed for this one as we attempt to prove to you that 1991’s Oscar is not that bad.

  • Ep. 56 – Fanboys

    Everyone has that friend…that one who is so much into their fandom that every word that comes out of their mouth relates back to that which they obsess over. Well, guess what. I am that friend, and I’m about to squeal like a Gamorean guard because it’s time to prove to you that 2009’s Fanboys is not that bad.

  • Ep. 55 – The Big Bounce

    They say that if at first you don’t succeed, try and try again. Well, in the summer of 69, The Big Bounce hit theatres. Spoiler alert, the author of the book hated it. Can 35 years, a decent cast and the director of Grosse Pointe Blank make difference? Find out as we attempt to prove to you that the 2004 remake of The Big Bounce is not that bad.

  • Ep. 54 – The Chronicles Of Riddick

    In science fiction, the keys to having a good kickoff to a franchise are setting a tone and some solid world building. The key to putting a halt to that franchise is to take all that you’ve built up, go a completely different direction and hope that no one notices. Oh, we noticed…but in the case of The Chronicles Of Riddick, we can overlook that because in truth, it’s not that bad. Special Guest: Cullen Munch.

  • Ep. 53 – Halloween: Resurrection

    How do you know when a franchise is probably past its “best before” date? Well, if the actress who made your series what it is comes back on the sole condition that her character is killed off so she never has to do it again, that’s probably a good indicator. Can Michael Myers continue after Laurie Strode commits character seppuku? Find out as we attempt to prove to you that Halloween Resurrection is not that bad.

  • Ep. 52 – Hubie Halloween

    Halloween is the time of ghouls, nightmares and horrors aplenty. What terrors await when Netflix’s multi-million dollar man serves up a horrific nightmare of ghoulish humour and invites all his buddies along for the ride? Find out as Greg from Movie Date Night joins us in an attempt to prove to you that Hubie Halloween is not that bad.

  • Ep. 51 – Waiting…

    In Canada, we are contractually obligated to say nice things about Ryan Reynolds. No, seriously…it’s been written into the Charter. So critics beware, you besmirch our national treasure, we must push back, and push back we will as we attempt to prove to you that 2005’s Waiting…is not that bad.

  • Ep. 50 – Repo The Genetic Opera

    It’s our 50th episode, which calls for a very special movie. So, we’ve pulled out all the stops, dug through the DVD collection and pulled out one of our most beloved unheralded favs of all time. So sit back because the show is about to begin. People, people, people…it’s time to prove that Repo: The Genetic Opera is not that bad.

  • Ep. 49 – Morbius

    There’s no question that Into The Spiderverse is a great movie. However, when it comes to live action Marvel flicks, Sony is definitely a four-letter word. Regardless, we’re going to do our best and not boot the second entrant out of the Sinister Six party. Hang on to your hats everyone, ‘cause it’s Morbin’ Time as we try to prove to you that Morbius is not that bad.

  • Ep. 48 – Confessions Of A Shopaholic

    Oniomania is the technical term for the obsessive or uncontrollable urge to buy things. But, how many people do you know would line up to see a film called Confessions Of An Oniomaniac? If you said you would, I’ve got some swamp land in Florida that may interest you. But either way, sit back and give your wallet rest, because we’re about to prove to you that 2009’s Confessions Of A Shopaholic is not that bad.
