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. 47 – The Poison Rose

Scientifically, noir is the absence of colour. Cinematically, this noir film is the absence of critic love. But, can a southern noir film have a score any more south-of-good than this one? Find out as we sift through the Pee-ewe of this PI film and try to prove to you that The Poison Rose is not that bad.

Ep. 46 – Halloween 3: Season Of The Witch

Imagine creating a horror film with one of the most iconic characters in cinematic slasher lore. Then, three films into the franchise, you decide to yeet all that hard work out the door and go in a completely different direction. It’s the movie version of a bait and switch and a bold move to boot, but Philip from Adapted To Screen is back to help us prove to you that Halloween 3: Season Of The Witch is not that bad.

Ep. 45 – Monkeybone

When someone says “do you want to watch Monkeybone”, you should be forewarned that they are not actually asking you to watch late night National Geographic documentaries. Instead, they are asking you to watch something much, much weirder than that. But, if the Brendan Fraser renaissance is upon us, then let us celebrate by trying to prove to you that Monkeybone is not that bad.

Ep. 44 – Driven

In racing, you want cars to go really fast. With this racing movie, it can’t go by fast enough. Guest Simon Bennett braves watching the 2001 Stallone film Driven as we attempt to prove to you that it’s not that bad.

Ep. 43 – Movie 43

Sometimes, being clever can be a bad thing. For example, this is the 43rd episode of It’s Not That Bad and we thought, “wouldn’t it be funny if we watched Movie 43 for episode 43”? You see the problem? That’s the kind of thinking that kept us out of the good schools. Regardless, we’re going to commit to the bit and prove to you that Movie 43 is not that bad.

Ep. 42 – Young Guns 2

Hey, remember when you could make a movie with a bunch of “of the moment” actors, have it critically panned, and still be able to make a sequel to it? Man, those were good times. Well saddle up, because we’re going back to the days of the brat pack, ready to go down in a blaze of glory as we try to prove to you that Young Guns 2 is not that bad.

Ep 41 – The Circle (2017)

You ever have that moment where you talk about something with someone in person, then all of a sudden, you start getting ads on various social media apps for that very thing? Creepy, right? Well, we’re about to take that to the extreme with a movie that will make you want to leave every social app you have, except MySpace. Tom is still waiting for you at MySpace. That’s because we’re here to prove to you that 2017’s The Circle is not that bad.

Ep. 40 – Jersey Girl

Over the years, Kevin Smith has entertained us with tales of his Jersey friends and enough fart jokes to fill you up right to the snoochie boochies. This time around, the king of Jersey cinema is gonna punch you right in the feels and you’re gonna like it. So sit back and relax, because it’s our intention to prove to you that Jersey Girl is not that bad.

Ep. 39 – Samurai Cop

What happens when the most inept and horned up police force find themselves in over their heads after a trip to the Blue Lagoon? Before you think Steve Guttenberg will show up and save the day…guess again, because we’re not that lucky. No, instead, we take on the monumental task of trying to prove to you that Samurai Cup is not that that bad.

Ep. 38 – Mobsters

When it comes to the mafia, if someone disrespects you…you take action. When it comes to mafia movies, if the critics disrespect it…we take action. When it comes to Mobsters, that disrespect ain’t personal, it’s business, and we’re about to give you a counter-review you can’t refuse because we’re here to prove to you that this 1991 mob boss movie…is not that bad.
