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. 22 – Rough Night

If we have learned anything from the movies, it’s that nothing bad ever happens if you decide to have a wild night before your wedding. Nothing bad at all…absolutely nothing can go wrong. Unless, of course, you let your horned-up best friend run the show. But even though very bad things happen, we’re here to show that 2017’s Rough Night is not that bad.

Ep. 21 – The Smurfs

We’re back and we’re talking about the big screen adaptation of the “three apples high” blue crew as they enter the real world of New York City. Good animation, a pitch-perfect villain…the critics definitely got it wrong on this one, and we’re here to tell you why.

Ep. 20 – Dream A Little Dream

No duo may have defined a decade in film quite like the Two Coreys…but what happens when the decade nears an end? Would their final film foray of the 80’s leave fans wanting for more…or would it make viewers wish they could wake up from a horrible dream? Erin Marlow from It’s A Fandom Thing joins the show as we set out to prove to you that 1989’s Dream A Little Dream…is not that bad.

Ep. 19 – Home Sweet Home Alone

Christmas is here, which can only mean one thing…movies that are supposed to make you feel festive but only make you want to hide from family gatherings, brutalize people dressed as Santa and plug your ears as you hear Carol Of the Bells for the 40th time today. But can one sequel save Christmas? Find out as we prove to you that Home Sweet Home Alone…is not that bad.

Ep. 18 – Rollerball (2002)

Take the sport of roller derby, drop it into underworld Russia and script it like it’s an episode of Monday Night Raw…all while everyone is dressed like they’re in a German new wave band and give the lead action role to someone who had never done an action movie before. That sounds like it should work…but did it? Find out as we take 2002’s Rollerball and probe to you…that it’s not that bad

Ep. 17 – The Adventures Of Pluto Nash

Here’s a math problem for you to solve…what do you get if you have 100 million dollars, give Eddie Murphy 20% of that, subtract the cost of making a movie, then add the box office totals? The answer…you get one of the biggest box office flops of all time. We may have our hands full as we try prove to you that The Adventures Of Pluto Nash…is not that bad.

Ep. 16 – Be Cool

Take a no-nonsense former shylock, cutthroat music execs and a ruthless battle for the talents of one singer…and put them in a wacky comedy full of quotable lines and visual gags in a sequel to a movie heralded as one of those rare feats…a movie that is as good as the book. Did lightning strike twice? Find out as we prove to you that Be Cool…is not that bad.

Ep. 15 – The Spirit

The year was 2008…a magical year for comic book fans at the theater, because for the first time, a beloved hero was coming to the big screen. Of course, we could only be talking about one movie…and it ain’t Iron Man. Grab your fedora and get ready for a whole ton of narration as we set out to prove that The Spirit…is not that bad.
-
Ep. 14 – One For The Money

Take a beloved book franchise, an Emmy-winning actress, release the film on a light box office weekend and you have the formula for a #1 movie…unless people don’t go to see it…or even like it that much. But does that make it a bad movie? We’re going bounty hunting for positives as we prove to you that 2012’s One For The Money…is not that bad.

Ep. 13 – The Internship

What happens when you type into Google – “Who are the best people to star in a heartfelt film about two people trying to turn their life around through never giving up.” Well, don’t freak out when it comes back with a guy who played Norman Bates and another best known for saying “Ka-chow”. Tim McCarthy from the 20 Timinutes Podcast joining the show to help prove to you that when it comes to The Internship, it’s not that bad.
