Bad Movies Rule!

This episode we follow grieving dad Ed Harley (Lance Henriksen) as he digs up an ancient revenge demon to punish the dirt-biking idiots who accidentally killed his young son — complete with killer practical effects, swamp-witch rituals, and atmospheric lightning-streaked kills. What begins as a horror breakdown quickly derails into legendary tangents about cornfield nightmares, mono-cropping ethics, whether Joel belongs in jail for vehicular kid manslaughter, and exactly how Wisconsin handles edibles (spoiler: rectally, off the backs of cows). They hand out awards, read patron reviews, and ultimately debate if this atmospheric creature feature is a hidden gem or just a gloriously “bad movie that rules.” One of the funniest, most unhinged episodes yet.

In this chaotic mailbag episode, the BMR crew dives into listener voicemails, emails, and physical mail—including a Bucky's care package full of beaver nuggets, jerky, and room freshener from Sparky, plus a hilarious "HR audit" letter from Mandy Colin. They tackle movie theories like the real villain in Con Air, Star Wars Episode III memories, suggestions for Jumanji and Pure Luck, and celebrity encounter stories involving Motorhead. Amid detours on driving routes, singing "How Do I Live," and beaver nugget scents, the gang shares laughs, defends their awards system, and teases future episodes on franchises like TMNT 3 and Walker, Texas Ranger. International fans from the UK and Norway chime in, proving bad movies unite the world.

Tommy Boy (1995) unleashes Chris Farley as the lovable man-child Tommy Callahan, who teams up with David Spade to save the family brake-pad factory from ruin! This ‘90s comedy classic mixes road-trip chaos, epic fat jokes, and a plot as simple as a sales call. Is this a cult classic or total trash?

In this chaotic mailbag episode, James, Mattila, and Clint dive into listener submissions with zero filter—kicking off with a call for fan-made jingles to replace the absent theme song (submit yours or face the ban list!). Physical mail steals the show: an anonymous Washington sender drops epic posters for Rhinestone and Space Truckers, while Matt Mulholland hooks them up with Tommy Want Wingy beer (perfect for the upcoming Tommy Boy ep), gummy pickles (James dodges, Ryan chows down), and a hilariously personal bidet sprayer for Ryan's "gateway to better butthole days." Emails and voicemails flood in with Twilight trivia resolutions (Dakota Fanning in two scenes only!), wild celebrity tales (Hammer Fall encounters in Sweden, a heartfelt Paul Di'Anno meetup before his passing, a Hulk #2 stuntman story from a listener's dad, and a near-miss with Dolly Parton at a buffet). Send your mail, voicemails, or packages to keep the madness rolling!
