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. 37 – America’s Sweethearts

Repeat after me…I’m grateful for the actors. I am grateful for the writing. I am grateful for the comedy. I am grateful for the script. I am not grateful for the critics who poo-poo’d on this movie. I am grateful for the chance to prove to you that America’s Sweethearts is not that bad.

Ep. 36 – Little Nicky

To say that Adam Sandler has made some hellishly bad films might be a grand understatement. But what happens when you drop in a heaven and hell storyline, some end of the 90’s CGI that looks like beginning of the 90’s CGI and a romantic plotline that can best be described as “there”, and you get a big challenge as we try to prove to you that Little Nicky is not that bad.

Ep. 35 – The Ridiculous 6

There are Adam Sandler movies. There are bad Adam Sandler movies. There is also this…the Ridiculous 6. Was Netflix ridiculous for throwing 60 million at this film? Maybe. Were we ridiculous enough to attempt to watch this to find good things to say? Definitely. However, we do like a challenge, and challenge accepted as we set out to prove to you that The Ridiculous 6 is not that bad.

Ep. 34 – Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008)

Remember when The Mandalorian came out and we all me Baby Yoda and said “Awwww”? Well, picture that but with a baby Hutt and the exact opposite reaction. The Force was definitely not strong with this one, but don’t worry my padawans. We’re here to prove to you that 2008’s Star Wars: The Clone Wars is not that bad.

Ep. 33 – Machete Kills

Imagine making a movie with a bunch of your friends which is a sequel to movie that you made with a bunch of your friends which is based on a fake trailer for a movie within a movie that you made with a bunch of your friends. Surprisingly, we’re not talking about a Kevin Smith project. Nope, we’re going to grind this episode right out of the house and prove to you that 2013’s Machete Kills is not that bad.

Ep. 32 – Mr. Right

Looking for a hit movie? How about a movie about a hitman who’s tired of doing hits for people who hire hitmen, so as a way to hit back, he hits the guys who hired him in the first place as a hitman, because contracting out hits is bad. Throw in some hit actors, some hit-worthy dance moves and you have yourselves a movie that’s all da hit. Too bad the critics couldn’t give a hit about it…but that’s okay because we’re about to prove to you that Mr. Right is not that bad.

Ep. 31 – A Nightmare On Elm Street (2010)

There are three things in movies that make people run screaming…a charbaby in a fedora, creepy kids singing an even creepier lullaby, and the words “Produced by Michael Bay”. You won’t want to sleep on this episode, because we’re about to prove to you that 2010’s remake of A Nightmare On Elm Street is not that bad.

Ep. 30 – Batman Forever

One of the criticisms of Tim Burton’s Batman movies is that they were made by a guy who didn’t like comic books. Then came 1995 and Joel Schumacher with the “hold my beer” approach to comic book movies. But despite having more neon than a Tokyo night club, a Two-Face with one personality and arguably the worst cinematic Batman ever, we’re still here to prove to you that Batman Forever…is not that bad.

Ep. 29 – Cars 2

Do you remember The Andy Griffith Show? A show about a charming, lovable character. Then they thought it was a good idea to make a spinoff about the idiot mechanic entering the military? Now, picture that…but with animated cars. Lightning may not have struck twice, but we’re here to trade in our dad jokes for dadgum and prove to you that Cars 2…is not that bad.

Ep. 28 – Four Rooms

If two’s company, and three’s a crowd…four is clearly an experiment in film production. With familiar names, two of the hottest film directors of their time and one New Year’s Eve never to forget, what could possibly go wrong? Well, if you’re Ted the Bell Boy, everything. However, if you’re just a film lover, nothing…as we’re here to prove to you that Four Rooms is not that bad.
