Dystopian December has arrived, but I couldn't quite let go of Lundgren Calling. I was so happy to hear that Dolph is now cancer-free, so Vee from the Movies You Missed podcast joined me once again to get wet-wired with a dystopian sci-fi flick that also happens to be a techno-thriller where Lundgren got second billing. We're talking about Robert Longo's cult classic: Johnny Mnemonic.

#LundgrenCalling has been a wonderful month, but all good things must come to an end. The good news is that I was joined once again by Ryan (aka TheChewDefense) to take a look back at the first Marvel movie made for a theatrical release and a definitive role in Dolph Lundgren's career. That's right! We're talking about The Punisher.

Hello bad movie lovers! I am back from hiatus and ready to rock with #LundgrenCalling. Covid can't keep me down and fortunately I had Vanya Garraway from Revue Cinema back on the show to help lift my spirits and I think I was able to laugh away most of the bad germs because we had a ridiculously fun time talking sparking the Dolph Lundgren celebration month with Showdown in Little Tokyo.

The Epic Adventures series was a ton of fun but it's in the rearview. #EndlessSummer starts now! I had the distinct pleasure of sitting down with a friend who was one of the founding fathers of the Sheist International Film Club, he's one of the brightest minds in Bills Mafia, and it was a long time coming to get Uber Hansen on the show. The wait was certainly worth it as we had a ton of fun discussing the most modern movie we've ever done on the show and all the baggage that came with it. We're talking about Don't Worry Darling.

Darragh had such a good time helping me induct Drop Dead Fred into the Bad Movies We Love Hall of Fame he returned to help me close out the Epic Adventures series with a movie that's even weirder! Coincidentally, this film also deals with the childhood trauma of its main character and it did a number on us as kids too. We're talking about Walter Murch's 1985 Emerald City sequel: Return to Oz.

This show has afforded me the opportunity to make a lot of new friends. So, I invited one of those friends on, for the first time, to talk about the Stephen Norrington low-budget sci-fi horror sleeper: Death Machine.

After a mad genius inventor of killer robots and cyborgs at Chaank Armaments Corp. kills execs, he unleashes his ultimate death machine on the new cute CEO firing him.

I had the distinct pleasure of sitting down with the prolific and wonderfully talented author of Children of the Dark, Exorcist Falls, The Dismembered, and so many more...Jonathan Janz is in the house! And we got to talking about demons, the benefit of complex character choices, subverting expectations, Jaws (because it rocks!), and the absolute mastery of Laura Linney in Scott Derrickson's breakout big-screen film: The Exorcism of Emily Rose.

Back in January, I got to sit down with my new friend Vee from the Movies You Missed podcast to talk about a film I had never seen before but was a big influence on them. Loaded with flair, attitude, style, and a surprising amount of motorcycle jackets given the lack of motorcycles in the film, Hackers excels in the tech thriller genre where a lot of its peers failed.

I've had to take some time off due to circumstances beyond my control, so thanks to everyone who hung around and came back for more. Back in the middle of January, I was joined by my new friend Stephanie from the Sheist International Film Club who wanted to share her love of a sci-fi horror film that took a lot of flack back when it came out. Morbius director Daniel Espinosa is in the spotlight again on Bad Movies We Love as we board the International Space Station for Life.

Nix from the Cinema Shitshow rejoins me to complete our equally unofficial Empire Pictures trilogy of episodes that has spanned multiple podcasts as we take on a movie for kids that can be enjoyed by adults (or maybe that's the other way around): Stuart Gordon's Robot Jox from 1989.

It's a half-sode! Not even half if you do the math, but I wanted to take a moment to extend some personalized thanks to the people who have lent their time and support to the show, whether that be as a guest, a listener, or a supporter. It's a quick one, just to say thanks!

Hello, Bad Movie Lovers! I thought I was done for the year, but as I've been chipping away at some other year-end movie projects I realized most movies I get to cover on this show are at least 20 years old. And that got me thinking about all the lovable bad movies I saw this year and not wanting to wait 20 years to bring attention to them. So I found a little gas left in the tank and put together the first-ever Bad Movies We Love year-end list. Hopefully, there's something you'll be willing to take a chance on.

Whether this is your first time listening or if you have been a long-time listener, thank you so much for being part of Bad Movies We Love. I hope you enjoy the show. If you do, please consider donating to the support page. But you can also help by leaving a review, or a rating, and telling a friend about it.

It's the first-ever Bad Movies We Love Christmas Special!! Scott Cole popped back in to talk about a movie whose themes are much deeper than the slapstick surface but didn't stand a chance at the box office in 1994 despite an amazing cast and an Oscar-nominated filmmaker at the helm. We're talking Mixed Nuts. Plus, we get into our Christmas movie staples and some not-so-cookie-cutter Xmas films to embrace. Happy Holidays!

You may remember Vanya from our Crocodile Dundee episode and she is back for another foray into the oddball 80s, as we head back to New York City and eventually, the Hamptons to take a look back at one of the best pound-for-pound physical comedies, Weekend at Bernie's, and collectively lament the absence of crazy corpse humor like this in modern cinema.

My brother-in-Morbius is back! And this time with even more glorious purpose.

A friend of the show and the Co-Founder of the Sheist International Film Club, Ayoo the 6th, stopped by to talk about a film that exists as a great time capsule piece of the late 90s overindulgence. It's an action-comedy-adventure-sci-fi-western-buddy-cop extravaganza. It's Wild Wild West.
