So Bad It's Good

So Bad It's Good

By Max and Ash

Separated by lockdown, two friends come together to discuss a passion.

Rubbish movies.

Ash and Max take a tour of the best worst movies out there - each episode they'll discuss why what makes these movies work, the best scenes to watch out for and come up with their own movies along the way.

Each episode will cover a different genre, looking at films that may not be the best, but have that special something that keeps you glued to the screen.

So sit, back, grab some popcorn and get ready for the movies that people would rather you forget.

The SBIG Awards 2020

This is So Bad It's Good - a show about two friends talking about crappy films and passing time in lockdown.

After a wild time in lockdown, we've decided to end our season like everything else in the movie biz - with an awards show. For our final episode, we're taking some time to reflect on what we've learnt over the past 10 episodes, chat through the key takeaways of bad movies and announce the winners of our awards. 

The past few months have been so much fun and we've loved making these episodes. It's not been easy, we've chiselled and refined the format as we've gone along, but we hope that whoever has been listening has enjoyed what we've been saying. We can't express enough how grateful we are to you for sticking with us as we felt our way around this whole podcasting nonsense. We appreciate every listen, every like and every share.

In our penultimate episode, we explore the best worst things that Netflix has to offer.  We talk about the unending watch list, how long it takes to find your ideal show and share our thoughts on how often we use the skip intro button. We also discuss what the phrase 'Golden Nuggets' means, whether a wig full of roses is better than a glove full of butterflies and examine one of the weirdest killers we've ever heard of. On our casting couch is Ash's dream, as Showgirls comes front and centre in a tell-all documentary.

Sci-fi

Sci-fi

This is So Bad It's Good - a show about two friends talking about crappy films and passing time in lockdown.

Science Fiction this week and with it comes a whole host of jargon that only Max understands. Ash helps Brewdog by providing a suggested list of new ale names, we discuss what we would do on a holodeck (minus Showgirls) and the traffic safety rules of flying cars. Our movie this week is an Arnie classic, with some yellow jumpsuits, quippy one liners and a plot that the Hunger Games would envy. On our Casting Couch this week, we look at whether Deny from The Room could make it in a leading role and whether Malcolm McDowell would win a pitch in Dragon's Den.

This week we're blessed with the presence of Rain, a Cage-onomics expert and film buff. We chat through what hairstyle we'd prefer and discuss how interesting we can make the alphabet. Rain shares her views on the American justice system and Cameron Poe's workout routine while Ash gives his two pence on the magic of Face/Off science. Our casting couch considers whether Elijah Wood could speak Cockney and if a well known panel show host could become a super villain.

On our casting couch, we're dealing with a sequel to a horror movie we all know and hate, consider Stormy Daniels' alternative life as a nun and wonder whether Shakin Stevens would make a good ghost.

Disasters

Disasters

This is So Bad It's Good - a show about two friends talking about crappy films and passing time in lockdown.
Each episode Ashley and Max take a tour of the lowest points of cinema. These are the films that won't ever get the critical appreciation - will rarely feature in a top 100 list and will always fall way short of an Oscar. Some you may know, others you may like, but that doesn't stop them from having that cheesy, try-hard exterior that makes it so easy to enjoy.
In our first episode we look at Disaster movies - why not, since we're living in one at the moment! Ashley leads this one, examining all the common things you'll find in doomsday cinema, some of the special films that are mick-take worthy and we do our best to pull together a pitch for studio executives on our very own disaster flick.
If you're liking what we're doing (and even if you're not) drop us a like, subscribe and share your thoughts. We're both pretty new to this podcasting thing, so stick with us while we work out the kinks.
