Episode description

Have you seen any film on the IMDb bottom 100? We have! In this episode, we explore why we go dumpster diving, and of course, the less extreme side of the same coin - why we watch films we know we probably won't like.   

You have done it too! Everyone has. There comes times, no matter how rare, that you sit down and tune into a film you just KNOW you won't like. Are you a masochist? Are we? Are we hoping to be proven wrong? Do we need to see bad cinema to know what good cinema is like? Follow along as we try to answer these and many more pressing questions, resulting in some of the most shocking revelations in Talking Images history: blood will be spilled.You have done it too!
