#31 Air America (1990)

This was the most heated any of our discussion have ever gotten. Who knew it would be about Air America - one that is difficult to rate as it has the pieces present to be a much better movie than it given credit for. Do you love it? Why is it so poorly rated? Do you think Mel Gibson and Robert Downey Jr had great chemistry? We'd love to hear from you! Email the show at ThisShowIsTrash@gmail.com Join the community at Facebook.com/BadMoviesRule

#30 Gymkata (1985)

This episode goes off the rails at multiple points, because the BMR crew can't keep it together while discussing the worst martial arts movie to feature gymnastics. Gymkata starred a very talented gymnast, Kurt Thomas, who was supposed to blend his talents with karate to strike fear into his opponents, but the results are largely hilarious.

#29 Broken Arrow (1996)

The BMR crew dives into the 1996 action movie, Broken Arrow directed by John Woo and starring John Travolta. Legend says by the time the movie was done shooting not a single piece of scenery remained. Travolta had chewed it all. AIN'T IT COOL????? We hand out our awards for the Top 3 Performances, The Will Patton Award for intensity and the Trash Can Full of Dirt Award.

#28 The Beastmaster (1982)

On this episode of Bad Movies Rule we take a look at the 1982 cult classic Beastmaster starring Marc Singer and Tanya Roberts, along with Rip Torn. This movies is a bit of a fever dream for us as we only had vague recollections from seeing it as kids. The re-watch did not disappoint, this movie is insane in all of the best ways. We walk you through the movie and we also give out our coveted awards: Top 3 Performers, The Will Patton award, and The Trash Can Full of Dirt. Bad Movies Rule is a movi...

#27 Killer Klowns From Outer Space (1988)

Our first Halloween episode reviewing Killer Klowns from Outer Space. This one has to be on the Mount Rushmore of bad horror movies. The movie is about Mike Tobacco (his name, not a joke) and Debbie Stone as they run from giant insane omnipotent clowns. What's not to like? As always we give out our Will Patton Award, the Trash Can Full of Dirt Award and Top 3 Performers. Bad Movies Rule is a movie podcast about the movies you love even if no one else does.

#26 Conan the Destroyer (1984)

In the early 80's there existed two Conan movies. One was good and the other was Conan the Destroyer. A movie that I throughly enjoy, but from an objective standpoint is hard to defend as a good movie. We take our best shot. Also, Malak was the worst character maybe ever. Listen and let us know what you think of this movie via our email below. Which actor deserves to win our coveted Trash Can Full of Dirt award?

#25 The Postman (1997)

The movie that was famous for being a financial failure gets a chance at redemption. Is this the bad movies that people have claimed, or is there a diamond under all of the rough parts? Also, after 24 episodes of handing out an award named after Will Patton, we finally are talking about a film featuring an wonderfully intense performance from the man himself. There's so much to love, and we dream about what could have been. As always we dissect the film and then give out some awards to the (most...

#24 The Last Dragon (1985)

The greatest martial arts movie to ever feature glowing martial artists, Bruce Lee's belt buckle and the kid from Surf Ninjas. This 80s gem is almost as bonkers as whatever the filmmakers were on when they put this thing together. It's hilarious, the final fight scene is actually well done, and it's 100% rewatchable. But is it a good movie? Listen to the BMR crew trying to figure that out. As always they give out the Will Patton award, the Trash Can Full of Dirt award, and crown the top 3 perfor...

#23 Office Space (1999)

On a podcast that celebrates the movies of the common people, this is a love letter to underappreciated employees across the globe. Upon release, it was dismissed by critics and the award givers ignored it. It was regular people who found and elevated this movie to an all-time classic. So what do the experts know?? We examine Office Space to dig through all the reasons why this film has stood the test of time. The main reason: John C. McGinley. Bad Movies Rule is a movie podcast about the movies...

#22 Spy Hard (1996)

This was the movie that saw Leslie Neilsen's magic start to wane. Was it still funny? In parts, but it was mostly awful. We take a look at the first of the worst to dotted the end of his filmography. We also give away a brand new award in our final segment. Also, during awards time, things get a little crazy and what happens can only be referred to as the Flip-Flop incident Bad Movies Rule is a movie podcast about the movies you love even if no one else does.

#21 Cyborg (1989)

The Bad Movie Rules crew tackles our third Van Damme movie on this show, the under-watched, under-appreciated gem, Cyborg. I don't know if it was the lack of a marketing budget due to Cannon Films' collapse, but almost no one has seen this movie. Hopefully, listening to us walk you through the movie will make you want to go and seek it out for yourself. What's not to love about a post-apocalyptic karate movie starring Van Damme and a professional surfer playing characters named after guitars? Ba...

#19 RAD (1986)

What's not to love about a shot for shot remake of the Karate Kid but with bikes instead of martial arts? This is an 80s sports movie with all of the cliche's that come along with it. Every note is expected, all of the plot points have been done before, that doesn't mean you can't sit back and enjoy this for simply capturing a simpler time in our lives.

#18 Galaxy Quest (1999)

This movie isn't bad, it didn't bomb - we are breaking our rules just so we can talk about one of our favorite movies of all time. This movie is perfect, but we did find one or two things to nitpick. Which actor in this all-star cast did our panel pick as the best performer? You'll have to listen to find out. Bad Movies Rule is a movie podcast about the movies you love even if no one else does.

#17 Deep Rising (1998)

Do you love movies about giant people-drinking predatory octopi who chase actors around who are either over-acting to the max or completely underselling what is happening? Then this is the movie for you - equal parts gross and eye-rolling, we love this movie for all the wrong reasons. Treat William, Kevin Conroy, Famke Jansen and Wes Studi star in this (almost) Harrison Ford vehicle. Bad Movies Rule is a movie podcast about the movies you love even if no one else does.

#16 Hard to Kill (1990)

Don't expect us to run through a lot of Steven Seagal movies because there's very few that I can stand to sit through. Hard to Kill however, has a special place in my heart from my young adult life. I watched this movie way too many times. Now coming back to it for the first time in at least 10 or 15 years has made me realize that it's not nearly as good as I remember, but it's still awesome and highly quotable. I enjoyed walking back down memory lane, so join us for a fantastic episode about th...

#15 Masters of the Universe (1987)

I have the power! That might have been the catchphrase but by the time production on this movie was over that phrase took on a whole new meaning. Did this movie, which did everything in its power to veer away from the source material, work in any way shape or form? Listen to the BMR crew discuss this 80's movie based off a cartoon that was based off of a toy line. How could it go wrong?

#14 Three Amigos! (1986)

The first in the "actors-being-forced-into-real-scenarios" movies, and is considered by some to be a comedy classic. Although there are some even in the cast who think this is one of the worst movies they ever made. Does this film stand up to the test of time? Is it a bad movie that rules or just a bad movie? Rob King and Curt Mummer (both actors themselves) join me to dissect the film and break down what worked and what didn't with this 80's comedy. We'll walk you all the way through it, and we...

#13 Megaforce (1983)

Tight guys in tight clothes doing tight things. That is Megaforce - it's as if the movie was written by a ten year old playing with his Hot Wheels in the sandbox. Have you ever seen an A-Team episode, now imagine if it was a full length movie, but instead of Mr. T you had Barry Bostwick in a skin tight golden suit. Does that sound awesome? Then you would love this movie. Even if you have never seen the movie, we will walk you through the train wreck that was Megaforce. Sit back and join the part...

#12 The Fifth Element (1997)

Pleeeese Halp - I used to be so lukewarm on the Fifth Element. Even though I was a big fan of Bruce Willis, at the time this came out I didn't think much of it. It was okay, but I never thought it was worth revisiting. After coming back to it at the suggestion of our first time guest, Jesse Hurst - I have now fallen in love with this movie. This is almost exclusively due to a new found appreciation for Milla Jovovich and her performance in this film, along with the undeniable chemistry between h...

#11 The Garbage Pail Kids Movie (1987)

The movie based on a trading card (which is always a great basis for a movie) was a huge box office flop when it came out. Even though there were thousands of kids who liked the Garbage Pail Kids, they couldn't get them to come see the movie. The truth is it was doomed from the start by a horrible plot (they form a sweat shop to meet a teenage girls demand for a fashion show) or animatronic heads that don't work (nightmare fuel). Whatever it was, this film is a disaster and we try to find a sing...

#10 Timecop (1994)

The movie that sees Jean Claude Van Damme roundhouse kick time right in it's stupid face. This is a fun time travel movie even if the majority of the time they are traveling back and forth between an indistinguisable 1994 and 2004. This is much more story-driven than typical JCVD fare, but it's a great movie and a lot of fun, with a great payoff in the final 30 minutes. Give it a watch and then come join us to pull it apart.

#9 UHF (1989)

Weird Al has only ever done one movie, because the world could only ever handle one Weird Al movie. Everyone on the panel loved this movie, so we walk through the film showering it with praise - this is a movie that bombed in the box office but is beloved by many fans today. Come join the party and have a laugh with us as we talk about the 1989 classic, UHF. Even if you aren't old enough to know what a UHF station is, you will still love this!

#8 Howard the Duck (1986)

The duck that almost sank George Lucas, while also simultaneously being responsible for Pixar's creation. Howard the Duck is a movie that has no idea what it wants to be. Does it want to be a kids movie? A comic book adventure? An 80's sex comedy? It ends up being none of these things, yet somehow ends up with a large cult following 35 years later. We examine the movie and try to find some redeeming qualities, but here's a hint, one of them is not Tim Robbin's performance. Come and have a laugh ...

#7 Judge Dredd (1995)

Stallone was headlining the last big summer blockbuster of his original run as a top box office draw. There were lots of behind-the-scenes struggles concerning the tone of Judge Dredd and what movie they should make. What is great about 1995's Judge Dredd? What didn't make any sense at all? Was the 1995 version better than the 2012 version? We dive deep into this futuristic Stallone action movie and wonder about Dredd's power fist, and the physics of the Flame Pipe.

#6 Cool As Ice (1991)

One of the most unintentionally hilarious movies to ever be released about a white rapper chasing after a high school horse girl. Yes, this movie is horrible, but it's horrible in the best way possible. I'm a little disappointed in myself for having such a good time watching this and talking about it. So here it is - a stunningly accurate portrayal of the kind of guy a horse girl goes for. Cool as Ice! Bad Movies Rule is a movie podcast about the movies you love even if no one else does.
