  • 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. 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.

  • 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.
