Bad Movies Rule!

The BMR crew read and react to fan mail from around the world—including recommendations for John Carpenter horror films (Prince of Darkness, In the Mouth of Madness) and GMR picks (The Full Monty, Room, Requiem for a Dream), a heartfelt note from a Finnish listener asking about host Ryan's family heritage tied to "Mattila/Matala," praise for their Death Warrant episode, wrestling Mount Rushmore debates (Hulk Hogan, Macho Man Randy Savage, Ric Flair, Undertaker, and more), celebrity encounter stories (like spotting Ryan Reynolds), opinions on Rob Zombie's directing style, divorce reflections tied to movie memories (Con Air as a honeymoon film), and a wild voicemail showdown involving "Lord V" drama and an over-the-top scream story about Robin Williams.

The hosts also take a deep dive into Google Street View comparing Leeds, Alabama (complete with the infamous "Pants Store," one-story buildings, junkyards, and quirky local spots) versus Leeds, UK—declaring the UK version the clear winner. They discuss listener-submitted song ideas for the show, share laughs over voicemails (including one that could have been a hit if submitted earlier).

Bad Movies Rule! dives headfirst into Michael Bay’s 2007 Transformers with hosts James, Stephanie, plus Dave and Ryan. The crew goes scene-by-scene through the Allspark hunt, messy robot transformations, military explosions, Shia LaBeouf’s anxious energy, and the legendary Megan Fox Camaro moment. They roast the over-the-top CGI fights, celebrate Bernie Mac’s car-lot hustle, riff on Bumblebee’s radio playlist, and debate whether this is a “bad movie that rules” or just a straight-up good popcorn blockbuster. Expect nostalgia, hot takes, family banter, and the usual awards chaos—because even giant robots can’t escape the podcast’s loving roast.

The Bad Movies Rule! crew goes fancy for this mailbag with Clint Busch and special in-studio guest Katie Busch (yes, the one who sets the Katie test standard). Physical mail finally floods in: killer posters (Rollerboys, Tommy Boy, Hands of Steel), a NES game, bizarre DVDs, and the most dangerous candy drop yet—Little Nitro world’s hottest gummy bears that immediately torch Clint’s mouth while everyone else watches in horror. Listeners recommend Bigfoot Hitler Sam Elliott, KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park, Year One (which nobody likes), Mortal Kombat Annihilation, Howard the Duck (already done), and Son of the Mask. Epic listener stories include a childhood airport encounter with Andre the Giant courtesy of a chiropractor dad who treated pro wrestlers, plus the usual chaos: fake city tours of Thousand Oaks, CA, R.L. Stine’s Pumpkinhead roast, Arnold legacy sequel hype, depression shout-outs, and one very long email that gets partially skipped. Hot candy trauma, poster hauls, and family-approved vibes—classic BMR mailbag energy.

The Bad Movies Rule! crew—James, Chuck, Dave, and Joe—rips through Jean-Claude Van Damme’s 1990 prison thriller Death Warrant scene by scene. Van Damme stars as undercover cop Burke sent into a chaotic lockup to investigate mysterious inmate deaths tied to a secret organ-harvesting ring run by guards and the terrifying Sandman. The episode is packed with roasts of the shaky fight choreography (including the infamous wrench beatdown and fire deaths), massive plot holes, awkward romance with Amanda, questionable prison “realism,” and Van Damme’s signature shirtless flexing. Tangents explode on banana bread, “I’ll be back” thugs, inmate brothels, peanut-shell etiquette, and whether Burke actually saves anyone. They hand out awards, read patron takes, and debate if this is a bad movie straight up or something more ridiculous.
