I am a big fan of "bad movie" shows. MST3K, Flop House, WHM, HDTGM, etc., but a few years ago I thought, "why not do the opposite? do a podcast praising hated, bad, or underappreciated movies." so I did.
the guest *always* likes the movie, and I provide historical context for the negativity. 😉

could not agree more. the absolute nadir of Muppets TV and movies.
I'm launching a new column inspired by my 7-year-old's love of Jim Henson called Muppetational. We begin with 2005's The Muppets' Wizard of Oz, whose bad CGI, wildly inappropriate references, and Tarantino cameo make it the Muppet Star Wars Holiday Special. nathanrabin.substack.com/p/introducin...

yeah, here's your prompt:
talentless idiot with no ideas wastes $30k on something nobody wants.

AI filmmaking is completely unserious.
You've got people with $30k begging the internet for ideas by next week because they have nothing of their own to say, it's just slop for the sake of slop. Embarrassing state of affairs.

anyone in the Maryland area need a kitten? these babies need homes.
It’s hard to believe but the Auto Club family— mama Porsche & her now 7-month old kittens Ferrari, Mercedes, and Bentley— have had no applications. Not one for any of them. They’ve been growing up together in foster care, shy at first & needing a quiet home. Elkton, MD Apply crits4cats.petfinder.com

Roger Corman produced the best Star Wars knock-off... and this one too. 😆
Roger Corman recycled the effects and score from another space movie, and then got the writer of Deathstalker and 11 episodes of Care Bears to write and direct it. It's SPACE RAIDERS and it will be one of four films for The RiffTrax Experiments

I read this paperback about 25 years ago, and I called it the best non-horror book I've ever read. Now there are sequels, a prequel, and a mini-series, so I'm reading it again, audio-style.

in March of 2003 I was at the SXSW film festival. as I was leaving the Paramount theater I held the door open for a woman. she nodded politely and then behind her was her husband, Robert Duvall. He said "thank you, young man," and I just stood there, stunned. 100% true story.

I worked in a Philadelphia Applebee's and I can tell you this: Black people tip as well as anyone. It's teens and college-age people who don't tip great. because they're usually broke.
I hadn't heard this shit until now and finding out Platner was all in on "black people don't tip" makes way too much sense. And it's a huge red flag for anyone who works in hospitality because it's not true. Everyone who's worked behind the stick knows who undertips and it's not the black community

pretty sure I've seen James Bond drive through here like a lunatic.
One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the Strøget in Copenhagen, was filled with cars until a 2 year pedestrianization pilot project in 1962. The opposition argued “no cars means no business,” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street.
