Bad Movie Night Podcast

This week on Bad Movie Night, we're diving into Fred Olen Ray's 1986 sci-fi prison oddity STAR SLAMMER. It's got ridiculous costumes, deranged side characters, bargain-bin spaceships, questionable fight choreography, an absolutely incredible harmonica scene, and somehow a surprising amount of world-building for a movie largely shot inside an empty grocery store. Is Star Slammer a forgotten low-budget sci-fi gem, complete trash, or stuck in that strange middle ground where it's simultaneously too cheap, too boring, and not quite sleazy enough? We break down the movie, its bizarre production, the "Slop Master General," Fred Olen Ray's endless filmography, women-in-prison movies, low-budget filmmaking, and much more. Subscribe for more terrible movies you've probably never seen.

Manborg is too good for the podcast.

House III… except it's not really House III. This week on Bad Movie Night, we're talking about the bizarre 1989 horror movie The Horror Show, starring Lance Henriksen and Brion James.

We are back to talk about our gal Ethel. She is criminally insane in the brain, but she makes a sick ice cream sundae.

I can't believe we still make this podcast

Ian already received a three-year movie-picking ban for Hard Rock Zombies. Then we foolishly let him return and he made us watch Shut Up and Shoot! This unbearable 2006 Hollywood "comedy" somehow assembled Gary Busey, Tom Sizemore, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Daniel Baldwin, and Joe Estevez, then trapped them inside one of the worst movies we have ever covered. We discuss the atrocious music, painfully unfunny characters, bizarre celebrity cameos, and whether this movie is actually worse than Wickedness. By the end, Ian faces the only reasonable punishment: a lifetime ban from choosing movies.

The Primevals looks like a forgotten adventure movie from another era because it basically is. Filmed largely in 1994 and completed decades later, this wild stop-motion epic begins as a Yeti expedition before exploding into hidden civilizations, prehistoric creatures, reptilian aliens, lasers and gladiator combat. We review the movie, its incredible production history, its Ray Harryhausen-inspired effects and whether this long-lost passion project was worth the wait.

Is House of the Dead really one of the worst video game movies ever made, or has Uwe Boll's chaotic zombie disaster aged into something genuinely entertaining? We revisit the 2003 film to discuss its endless gun battle, Matrix-style action, bizarre editing, practical zombie effects, terrible storytelling, and why many of its biggest problems are also what make it so much fun. Plus, Aaron and Spiv take over the movie poster in ways nobody asked for.

It's New Jersey, so of course, there are deadly spawn everywhere.

For some reason we came back to do more episodes. This week we are covering the new Philip J Cook movie, Echoes of Dread!

There is a dinosaur robot, it's Blade Runner, I don't freakin know what happened during this episode.

A movie with badass effects about Walter Koenig being a wet rag on the moon.

Prepare to be probed because aliens are abducting everyone up in here and the government is spying on all your Airbnbs. So pack some granola bars because it's time to go on a adventure with your favorite alien friend, DOS.

We go to the god-forsaken land of Florida to fight ninjas, reconnect with long-lost fathers, and, of course, do our best Pat Benatar impressions.

A movie about WEATHER. Well, Carl Weathers. But where are the fricking hurricanes?!?

It's about time we talked about this DAM movie.

When did you go and watch a movie as fun as this?!?!

Aaron made us watch this and then didn't even show up for the podcast.

It's Steve F$%#ing Barkett!! We traverse the thirsty wastelands as Steve fights with Sid Haig and takes his shirt off to reveal his sweet sweet man nipples and stuff (P.S. Aaron wrote this, probably)

This week on Bad Movie Night, we dive headfirst into Wickedness (2025), a movie that asks what if we try to rip off a popular movie franchise but not actually attempt to do anything that actually has anything to do with the source material? That's okay, we have some green makeup! It's low-budget, but that's not a problem, it's that it is low-effort.

This week on the Bad Movie Night Podcast, we dive into the bizarre 1991 cult film Empire of the Dark — a movie packed with satanic cults, demons from another dimension, ninja fights, claymation monsters, and one extremely confident middle-aged action hero.  Shot on film with wild matte paintings, miniature effects, and a surprisingly epic orchestral soundtrack, this forgotten B-movie somehow swings for the fences in every scene. Is it terrible? Is it amazing? Is it both? Join us as we break down the insane plot, the legendary Steve Barkett, the grocery store shootout, and the most chaotic demon-fighting finale ever put to screen. If you love obscure cult movies, ridiculous action, and hilarious commentary, this episode is for you.

We will miss you, Shawn.

This week on Bad Movie Night, we dive into the 1989 action oddity Snake Eater starring Lorenzo Lamas. What starts as a goofy, booby-trapped drug bust suddenly turns into Deliverance-style hillbilly chaos. Tonal whiplash? Absolutely. Motorcycle boats? Of course. Is this Dirty Harry meets First Blood… or just a confused mess? We break down the action, the weirdness, and whether the Snake Eater sequels are worth the pain.

It's like if Neil Breen made a movie about an elf who lives in his backyard.

This week, we are talking about drug-crazed killer cyborgs, AKA Aaron's dating history.

This podcast is not CLOWNING around, you will be in STITCHES by the end of the episode because we strapped on our red nose and have a CIRCUS talking about the 2012 horror comedy movie, Stitches!

We're back! We watched a movie, then discussed it, and finally selected a movie to talk about next week. That's called doing a podcast. 

It's the Christmas time, so we are talking about dead bodies.

Strap in, lock up, because in this episode we're diving headfirst into Caged Heat 3000!

Strap in and hold onto literally anything bolted to the floor, because this week we shatter expectations and crack open the cinematic masterpiece known as 10.0 Earthquake. That's right a disaster movie so intense it'll rock your world, shake your faith in geology, and maybe even split your sides.

Return to Horror High (1987) the movie that tries to be a slasher, a comedy, a mystery, and a behind-the-scenes documentary… all at once, and succeeds at being none of them. Join us as we try to solve the real mystery: Why did we watch this?

Halloween Massacre is a movie written by Vega, directed by Vega, starring Vega; its Vegtacular.
