Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Secret of the Ooze has been blasted by critics, and while it was beloved by children back in the 90s, what do those kids think now? Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael, and Donatello take on the Shredder (or spoiler alert: they don't) and try to save New York one more time, while also learning where they came from! Let's imagine a Ninja Turtle movie where they never use their weapons, but are sticklers for observing the traditional pre-fight donut. Bad Movies Rule is ...

Clint, Mel, James, and Bob are back with Chuck Norris as he face-kicks his way through South America taking on the cartel. Billy Drago plays the perfect early 90s slimeball cocaine mogul as he sends his endless supply of henchmen to take on Chuck before he seizes his mountains of coke. The movie is a complete departure from Delta Force 1 which tried to say something important, it failed, but at least it tried. What do you think of Delta Force 2? Let us know in the comment section below. Bad Movi...

Stephanie, Joe, and the Mayor are back in Perfection alongside Burt Gummer as he continues to have the worst luck ever. No matter how many killer dirtworms (aka Graboids) he takes out, they seem to follow him all over the world. This time, back in his hometown, will he be able to stop them for good? Given that there are 7 Tremor's movies, I'm guessing no. At least we can have fun roasting all of this ridiculousness along the way.

What if Ben Affleck amid "misses" Forces of Nature and Bounce, made a heist movie that had plot twists on top of its plot twists, featuring an unhinged Gary Sinise and a young (crazy) Charlize Theron? A recipe for success you might think, but Reindeer Games got blasted by critics, and audiences and it bombed financially. Where did it go wrong? It had a great writer and an all-time director John Frankenheimer. Is it time to re-assess Reindeer Games or does it deserve its spot in the garbage heap ...

Imagine the pitch meeting - "It's Santa Claus, right, but this one has muscles!" PRINT THE MONEY! Now, the rest of us are left to pick up the pieces of Hulk Hogan's Santa With Muscles (1996). Previous Hulk Hogan movies had him playing different versions of himself, and here he attempts to act and play a different character. It goes about as well as you'd expect. Many questions will be answered - how did Mila Kunis bury this performance? How can a lawn ornament bench press 300 pounds? Why is Ed L...

Not too many movies out there featuring Jet Li in dreadlocks, but this is where we find ourselves. Even though The One (2001) is rated very low by critics, some swear this is an awesome movie. The movie made us laugh, we're just not sure it was supposed to. It also features one of the best Jet Li fights we've ever seen. We go scene by scene and answer the important questions - how did Jet Li get with Carla Gugino? Why is the only thing different in each parallel universe his hairdo? Why does Jas...

Lace-up your high tops, folks! We're about to journey back to 1984 and witness the classic/catastrophe that is "Breakin'" (1984). Directed by Joel Silberg, who I'm sure has lots of breakdancing experience, this film doesn't have a single cardboard dance floor or Adidas tracksuit. We will break down the dance moves that somehow pass as the pinnacle of '80s street style. With a great soundtrack but a plot thinner than the spandex in an '80s workout video, "Breakin'" is a time capsule of dance move...

BMR delves into the '90s cyber-thriller abyss as we unravel the tangled web of "The Net" (1995). Directed by Irwin Winkler, this film shows us floppy disks that could destroy the world and the glorious 90s version of the internet. Join us as we hack our way through the implausible scenario of Sandra Bullock's loner shut-in who's unable to get a date. In this episode, we are so split we spend half the time arguing about the complexity of ordering pizza online. "The Net" is a nostalgic trip back t...

If 'Terminator Salvation' had a user manual, it would be one page long: 'Don't let the machines win. Also, don't yell at the crew.' Here we dive headfirst into the mayhem of "Terminator Salvation." Directed by McG, this film promises killer robots, Christian Bale's infamous on-set rant, and the eternal question: 'How did Skynet ever become self-aware but not aware enough to know where the resistance is?' With a plot that's as tangled as a bunch of tangled wires, "Terminator Salvation" is a rolle...

Hold onto your maple syrup, folks, because we're diving deep into "Yoga Hosers". Directed by Kevin Smith, this film promises bratwurst Nazis, teenage clerks, and a healthy dose of nepotism. 'Yoga Hosers' is like an inside joke at a party you weren't invited to. You'll chuckle politely, but you'll wonder what you're missing. But here's the burning question: Does "Yoga Hosers" transcend its absurdity and find a place in the realm of 'so bad, it's good' cinema, or is it just another in a line of fl...

Prepare for a survival horror experience like no other as we venture into the zombified world of "Resident Evil" (2002) on the Bad Movies Rule Podcast. Directed by Paul W.S.

Get ready for a bite of the '80s as we sink our teeth into "Once Bitten" (1985). Directed by Howard Storm, this vampire comedy promises more laughs, campy moments, and questionable fashion choices than a decade full of neon and leg warmers. Join us as we follow the tale of Mark Kendall, played by a young Jim Carrey, who's targeted by a centuries-old vampire in need of some fresh blood. With characters so eccentric, you'd think they were auditioning for an '80s music video, "Once Bitten" is a cin...

This week we talk about the 1987 re-quel (?) Evil Dead 2 starring The Chin himself, Bruce Campbell. Seriously, his eyebrow acting in this movie deserved its own Oscar category. At the very least his chin or his hand should have gotten their own acting credits as they carry this movie centered around an evil force terrorizing people in a lonely cabin deep in the woods. Why did "Father" have to come to this remote cabin to read the Necronomicon? We don't ask salient questions here, we just chop at...

In 'Werewolves Within,' the biggest mystery isn't who's the werewolf, it's why anyone in their right mind would want to live in Beaverfield. We're sinking our teeth (hit the pun counter) into "Werewolves Within" (2021) on the Bad Movies Rule Podcast. Join us as we navigate the residents of Beaverfield, trapped by a snowstorm and one of them is a werewolf. The town's emergency plan in 'Werewolves Within' seems to consist of screaming and running in random directions. If only the characters in thi...

Here's the burning question - does "The A-Team" hit the bullseye as a nostalgic tribute to the 80s show, or is it just another loud mindless action movie? The critics hated it but even though the audience liked it, not enough people went to see it to justify a sequel. We go scene by scene through the movie. Murdock makes a plan and every one of them is about as foolproof as a screen door on a submarine. Murdock's insanity is the only thing that makes sense in this crazy movie, and Face is so smo...

Get ready for the world of "Blind Fury" (1989). Directed by Phillip Noyce, this action-packed adventure delivers more sword-swinging action and eyebrow-shaving moments than you can imagine. We follow Rutger Hauer's portrayal of Nick Parker, a blind Vietnam War vet with some seriously impressive sword skills. While he can fight better than sighted people, he ends up stuck in a situation that becomes like a terrible NPC escort mission. With the most henchman I've seen a bad guy have on the payroll...

Join us as we follow Jennifer Garner's portrayal of Elektra Natchios (not Nachos, sadly), an assassin with supernatural skills that she rarely uses, on a mission that's part NPC escort quest, part fighting F List characters, and all parts perplexing. With villains so dumb, they make you question why y...

Get ready to dive into a world where the fog's thicker than your uncle's conspiracy theories – we're about to unravel The Fog (2005). Directed by Rupert Wainwright, this film is so foggy, you'll need a GPS just to find the plot. Join us as we step into a town where the Fog literally out-acts Tom Welling, Maggie Grace, and Selma Blair. We're talking more mist, less clarity, and a suspense level that's more "wait, what?" than edge-of-your-seat. But here's the real question: Will The Fog leave us s...
