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.

There Can Only Be One – Anthrax
We tackle the studio discography of one of the pillars of the Big 4 of thrash metal, the one and only Anthrax. Since 1984, they have given us some of the best metal to ever grace the stereo speakers…but, can we go through album by album, picking only one song per release? Did your favourites make our lists? Who’s “best of” will be called “the hardest ever”?
Below, you can find our picks in easy-to-listen-to playlists. It should be noted that, as of posting, The Greater Of Two Evils is not available on Spotify so our picks from those albums could not be added to the list. Drop us a comment below and let us know which songs you would have added to your list.

Grading On A Curve – 43rd Razzie Worst Film Nominees
It takes a special kind of movie to be nominated at the Razzies for worst film of the year, and let me tell you, 2022 did not disappoint. Or rather…these movies did disappoint and that’s why we’re here. But which one rises above the rest? We endured the impossible, watched all five and have our grades ready. How did the nominees do? Find out in this Razzies crap-tacular edition of Grading On A Curve.

Ep. 68 – PCU
University…it’s a bastion of higher learning. A place where one goes to further their understanding of the world, expand their horizons and improve their chances of gainful employment. That’s university in the real world. In the movies, university is where you go to drink beer, get laid and fight the powers that be? Is Port Chester University the place to be? Find out as we attempt to prove to you that PCU is not that bad.

Ep. 67 – Dog Park
There once was a time when movies could wax philosophical about love and spout theories about the world of romance that sound deep and profound until you realize that those concepts only exist to justify the sad, sorry state you’re in. If this film is any indication, 1998 was that time. Worry not, though, because we’re here to prove to you that all is not lost and that Dog Park is not that bad.

Ep. 66 – Legend
We’ve come to know Tom Cruise to be many things over the years…a fighter pilot, a race car driver and a couch jumping enthusiast. But not many would instantly jump to “green man of the forest” in their descriptions of him. Throw in some elves, fairies and demons and you’ve got yourself a good time…or do you? Find out as we attempt to prove to you that 1985’s Legend is not that bad.

Superhero Movies
Once upon a time, superhero movies were not all that super and definitely didn’t dominate the cinemascape. Is there a glimmer of hope in the darkest corners of the masked mess of mediocrity? Brace yourself as we scrape the bottom of the barrel to see who stands atop the garbage pile when we rank the worst of the worst in the first ever Grading On A Curve.

Ep. 65 – Surf Ninjas
The early 90’s was an interesting time at the theaters. There were films about surfing, films about movies, and films about adventures in faraway lands. So what would happen if you made a film about ninjas who surf in a faraway land? It may seem like a no-brainer idea, but would it lead to a no-brains movie? Find out as we attempt to prove to you that Surf Ninjas is not that bad.

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. Could history repeat itself in 2005? I remember the music of that era…we might be in trouble. Now, sit back as we attempt to discover if Undiscovered is not that bad.

Ep. 63 – The Island
You are a special listener. You have been chosen to revisit a movie that stands alone as uncontaminated from the rest of the plague-ridden movies of Michael Bay. Your prize for winning the lottery is to return to 2005’s The Island to discover once and for all that it’s not that bad.
