-

Enough
J-Lo kicking ass. Need we say more? No, but we sure as hell decided to. This movie's got us pumped and full of opinions. Did Taylor find this flick so entrancing that she stole the entire plot for a creative writing assignment as a child? Listen and find out.
-
The Doors
"The Doors" (1991) / Dir. Oliver Stone A band you love to hate? Or a movie? Was that the point? What is the point? Why does Luke dig the flick so fucking much? Perhaps, that's the biggest question of all. Let's dig in, brunchers!

Top 5 of 2021
It's the one time of the year where we talk about the good stuff. Not that the bad movies on our show are all bad, but these are pretty widely acknowledged to be good...which isn't the norm around here. Enjoy!
-
The Karate Kid Part III
"The Karate Kid Part III" (Dir. John G. Avildsen) In a world where Cobra Kai is the toast of the town, it only made sense for Katie to invoke the crowning jewel of the Larusso trilogy. Please note: we recorded this episode in January 2022. So if our shit sounds dated...that's why. Actually never...

-
Small Soldiers

-
Josie and the Pussycats
"Josie and the Pussycats" (2001) // Dir. Harry Elfont and Deborah Kaplan You wanna talk about cult classics? This flick stands shoulder to shoulder with the best of 'em. Epic soundtrack. Killer script. Wildly funny. Insanely memorable. Impossibly of its day, yet somehow timeless????? We could…

The Gay Deceivers

-
Rough Night
"Rough Night" (2017) // Dir. Lucia Anello In this edition, we come to the conclusion that killing a stripper may not be that funny even if it's a bachelorette and her gal pals that did the deed. Did you like this flick? Did you love Hacks? This is the episode for you!

-
The Lake House
"The Lake House" (2006) // Dir. Alejandro Agresti We spend the weekend on the water with Keanu and Sandy as they fall in love through time and space. Or, time and lakes. Also the mailbox is magical? We don't actually touch on that concept as much as we should.
-
The Master of Disguise
"The Master of Disguise" (2002) // Dir. Perry Andelin Blake The three of us summon all the energico in our bodies and fire off about this incendiary little kids(?) movie. There's an unforgivable brown face scene featuring our main character. The main character is supposed to "become another…

Tom & Jerry: The Movie
Tom & Jerry: The Movie (2021) // Dir. Tim Story What's more classic than cats and dogs beating the living shit out of each other? Yeah, we couldn't think of anything either. Hang out with Luke, Katie, and Taylor as we dig into the surprisingly charming Tom and Jerry feature flick on HBO Max and...
-
40 Days and 40 Nights

Rock-a-Doodle
"Rock-a-Doodle" (1991) // Dir. Don Bluth, Gary Goldman Katie pulls an absolute banger out of her back pocket in a Luke-less edition of Bad Movie Brunch! What we have here is a live action / animation hybrid that features a chicken (rooster?) who aspires to be an Elvis impersonator in Vegas.…

Remember Me

Allen Coulter In this edition, get to spend time gazing upon one of our favorite actors to ever grace the silver screen....ROBERT PATTINSON in a real controversial flick from his vast filmography.

Katie and the Taylor's Top 5 of 2020
Hot of the presses is Luke, Taylor, and Katie's favorite stuff they watched in the year of our lord 2020. In a year that was largely without feature films and theatergoing experiences, we had to resort to tv shows too. Deal with it.
-
New Year's Eve
"New Year's Eve" (2011) // Dir. Garry Marshall Goodbye, 2020. Bid that awful year a fine adieu with Luke, Katie, and movie juggling more plot lines than you can shoot a confetti popper at! All you need to know is...it's NYE in NYC and people are very concerned with the ball dropping at midnight.
-
Surviving Christmas
"Surviving Christmas" (2004) // Dir. Mike Mitchell How could there be a Ben Affleck movie that we didn't know existed? Let alone a CHRISTMAS AFFLECK MOVIE SET IN ILLINOIS? We must be slipping in our old age! This movie was wiped from the face of the planet, but Amazon Prime Video gave us the gift...
-
Jingle All the Way
"Jingle All the Way" (1996) // DIr. Brian Levant Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit's Turbo Time! Can Howard secure that damn Turbo Man doll? Will Phil Hartman hook up with his wife? Why is Sinbad committing mail fraud and terrorism? All these questions aren't really answered in this episode, but we adore the…

Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas
"Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas" (1997) // Dir. Andy Knight In this edition, the holiday vibes continue as we transition in Christmas Movie Season. It's a time of bad plots and passable storytelling for the greater good of yuletide joy. Keep in mind, everything thing that happens...
-
Friendsgiving
"Friendsgiving" (2020) // Dir. Nicol Paone In this edition, Taylor schools Luke on some improv (and is possibly drunk, we're not sure). Katie brings another turkey-day-centric flick to the fold and keeps the show on its rails at all costs.
-
A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving
"A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" // Dir. Bill Melendez and Phil Roman In this fall edition of BMB, we urge you to look past the 100 percent Rotten Tomato score and look deeper into this particular tv special. Or, Apple TV special, as it were. Sick burn!
-
Xanadu
"Xanadu" (1980) // Dir. Robert Greenwald In this edition, Luke is an innocent bystander as Katie and Taylor discuss the movie that inspired the Golden Raspberry Awards (better knows as the Razzies). Buckle up for safety.
-
Hubie Halloween
"Hubie Halloween" (2020) // Dir. Steven Brill In this extra spooky (not really) episode, we're talking about Halloween. Hubie Halloween, that is. If a bot watched every Happy Madison movie, this would be the result. Is that a bad thing? Not necessarily.
-
Grandma's Boy
"Grandma's Boy" (2006) // Dir. Nicholaus Goossen Katie, Luke, and Taylor unpack the surprisingly wholesome stoner comedy from a bygone era that really wasn't that long ago. And we say "wholesome" knowing full well Jonah Hill sucks on a boob for quite some time in this flick.
-
Baby Geniuses
"Baby Geniuses" (1999) // Dir. Bob Clark With Luke off the grid for the week, Katie takes over hosting duties! Taylor Taylor is back on the show to chop it up with Katie about some smart children with dubbed dialogue.

-
Pearl Harbor
Pearl Harbor (2001) // Dir. Michael Bay This is a podcast that will live in infamy. At the request of this week's special guest, Mr. Tom Hush, we discuss Michael Bay's World War II love triangle that seemingly aspired to be the next Titanic. (Spoiler: It wasn't).
-
Fluke
Fluke (1995) // Dir. Carlo Carlei Life is ruff in this talking canine tale! Fluke is a flick that deals with heavy ass themes like mortality, reincarnation, murder, and vengeance. It's also a film for children. Samuel L. Jackson is in it too.
-
We Are Your Friends
We Are Your Friends (2015) // Dir. Max Joseph In this edition, Luke and Katie want to know if we'll ever be better than this! Do you know much about EDM? We sure as hell don't, but we know Zac Efron is daddy.
-
Quest for Camelot
Quest for Camelot (1998) // Dir. Frederik Du Chau In this edition, we draw our swords and take to the fabled land of Camelot! There's griffins, weird cgi, and just a few more songs than we necessarily needed.
-
In the Army Now

-
Juwanna Mann
Juwanna Mann (2002) // Dir. Jesse Vaughan To say this movie doesn't age well is an understatement. It's wrought with harmful and offensive stereotypes, lazily disguised as a romantic comedy with some basketball thrown in for good measure. Trans Lives Matter. Watch Pose on Netflix instead. Watch...
-
On the Line
"On the Line" (2001) // Dir. Eric Bross In which Luke and Katie are shocked by another early 2000s time capsule in this flick featuring N*Sync frontmen. Who's your favorite member of the group? We're a couple of Lance Bass fanboys over here.
