In the penultimate episode of Reel Bad, we dive into the special effects-laden world of Mortal Kombat: Annihilation; a video game movie that keeps up the tradition of video game movies being terrible. But... is it at least fun? Nick, Sam, Tuna, and Marie Ann all try to figure that out.

We finally did it. We watched the final four Hellraiser films, which were not all originally intended to be Hellraiser films. But... the director of Doctor Strange, the Man of Steel himself, and the voice of Cyborg on one of Nick's favorite cartoons pepper this group of sequels. Enjoy as Nick, Matt, Tuna, and Sarah all try to make sense of these movies.

SURPRISE! It's a new episode... and it's a doozie! James Nguyen wanted to make a Hitchcockian film to warn us about global warming. He managed to do half of that. In this episode, Aimee, Valerie, Matt, and Nick take on one of the great modern bad movies: Birdemic: Shock and Terror.

The Patrons voted and selected the 1984 film, Ghoulies, for us to watch. There is a veritable smorgasbord of reactions to this flick! One of us loved it, one of us hated it, and two were 50/50 on it. Listen as Nick, Matt, Sarah, and Aimee work through their feelings of this schlocky cult hit.

What happens when a studio tries to recapture a massive success it had just a few years earlier? Witness New Line Cinema's The Golden Compass. Well, it involves a lot of exposition, more exposition, and then an incredible cast to deliver that exposition. Join Nick, Nicole, Matt, and Tuna as we all get really frustrated.

That's one of the questions at the heart of this episode of Reel Bad as Nick, Marie Ann, Sam, and Bill tackle one of the classic bad movies of our time: Miami Connection.

Join Nick, Marie Ann, Matt, and Bill as they dissect this absurd low-budget movie that somehow spawned three sequels.

Before you get angry, we're not entirely sure how Phantasm ended up on our list, but we decided it would be good to revisit it and see if it is actually bad. Is it? Have a listen as Nick, Sarah, and Tuna discuss this beloved and classic horror film.

It's time for one of the great bad movies of our time. In 1990, Amir Shervan made an incredible thing called Samurai Cop. It was thought lost until a print was found and unleashed upon the world. It's bad, you guys, but it's also fascinating. Let's dive in!

From the team that brought you Deadly Prey comes a movie that’s… well… a lot of things. Maybe too many? Night Wars is A Nightmare on Elm Street meets Platoon, if both were wildly under-budget action films featuring Dan “Grizzly Adams” Haggarty. Nick, Matt, Sam, and newcomer Ryan sit down to figure this thing out.

If the early 2000s taught us anything, it was that prequels may not be sure bets. Enter Paul Schrader and Renny Harlin, who basically tried to make the same prequel to varying degrees of success. Are they bad? Are they good? We dive in and try to make sense of both Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist and Exorcist: The Beginning.

Believe it or not, we've never talked about a Roger Corman directed film... UNTIL NOW! Maybe fittingly, Frankenstein Unbound is his last film. Based on the novel by Brian Aldiss and starring a wonderful collection of actors... is it bad? Roger Corman has a reputation, but is it deserved? Let's have a look!

Back to Hell we go with Hellraiser: Bloodline, the fourth installment of this horror series, and this is three movies for the price of one! One movie takes place in the 1700s, another in the 1990s, and the third in the future of 2127. That may not be a good thing, but it's definitely a thing!

Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare, also called The Edge of Hell, is an embarrassing movie served as a film project for the much more interesting John-Mikl Thor, a body builder and hard rock singer with a personality much bigger than this film would have you believe. Join Aimee, Tuna, Nick, and Matt as they dive into this often uncomfortable -- but really fun -- horror (??) movie.
