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. 196 – Vamps
New York…the city that never sleeps. Home to Times Square, the best nightlife on the east coast, and apparently the tastiest rats around. What better place for two of the nicest, human-friendly vampires to ever grace the silver screen. Throw some dirt in your coffin and settle in as we look to see if Vamps is not that bad.

Ep. 195 – Rockula
In Anne Rice’s The Vampire Lestat, a legendary vampire rises from the grave and joins a rock and roll band in hopes of being reunited with those he loves. This is not that story. Instead, we get a story about a vampire with a serious case of the Groundhog Days singing songs that will make you wish you could turn into a bat and fly away. Brace yourself for this brave attempt to see if Rockula is not that

There Can Only Be One – Gin Blossoms
There really is no other way to describe the Gin Blossoms than by calling them rock radio friendly masters. Just how good, though? Joseph Whalen returns to dive through the Gin Blossoms discography in search of the best of the best from this staple of 90’s radio.
Below, you’ll see the playlists made by both Joseph and myself. A few notes: 1) Because the Dusted album is not on Spotify, we have put the New Miserable Experience version on to Joseph’s list, and 2) Major Lodge Victory is also not on Spotify. However, both of our picks from that album appeared on their Live In Concert album, so those live versions have been added to the list so you can check out those songs.

Keep Watch Pass – Movies Featuring Characters With Odd Jobs
Not every character has a normal 9-to-5 job. In fact, some of the best movies find themselves dealing with the antics of those whose job may be a little left-of-centre. This week, we’re looking at movies that feature characters with odd jobs. Maybe those jobs are worth the pay, maybe the movies are worth more. Tune in and find out.

Ep. 194 – The Pirate Movie
Shiver me timbers! It’s time to set sail on a musical adventure that can only be described as “Gilbert & Sullivan’s coke-fueled out-of-body fever dream come to life”. Can this blunder from down under stay afloat amidst the multitude of musicals, or will it sink under the weight of its own 80’s truckload of cheese? It’s time to see if The Pirate Movie is not that bad!

Spin Shuffle Skip – Randy Savage – Be A Man
It’s time to talk about an album that can best be described as “the Tommy Wiseau of rap discs”. Lyle Robichaud is back to talk in a growly voice as we deep dive the one and only rap album from Macho Man himself, Randy Savage.

Ep. 193 – Babylon
It’s no surprise that Hollywood likes to toot its own horn in the quest for Oscar attention. But, can a marathon-length film filled with award-winning actors, written and directed by an Oscar winner and loaded with more bodily fluids than a medical instructional video find Oscar glory? Or, will it fall victim to its own Hollywood hubris? Find out as we attempt to prove that Babylon is not that bad.
