by thebmbpodcast
Two friends on a beer-fueled hunt to find the best bad movies.
Episodes
-
Episode 170 - Popeye (1980)
Cooper and Nolan are setting sail for Sweethaven this week when they cover POPEYE! As if a live action movie based on a nautical cartoon from the mid-1900s wasn't a strange enough choice for 1980, Paramount Pictures decided to go two steps further by making it a musical and having Robert Altman...
-
Episode 169 - Out for Justice (1991)
Cooper and Nolan are visiting the old neighborhood this week when they cover OUT FOR JUSTICE! This early Steven Seagal classic sees him play an Italian cop in New York City hunting down the man who killed his partner, in a role that would have been MUCH better with Sylvester Stallone in it. That...
-
Episode 168 - Society (1989)
Cooper and Nolan are getting a taste of the good life this week, when they talk SOCIETY! This late 80s horror/comedy delivers a scathing commentary on the upper class, as well as some of the most mind- (and body-) bending practical effects you'll ever see. If you're thinking that that sounds like...
-
Episode 167 - King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962)
Cooper and Nolan are caught between two titans this week, when they try to survive KING KONG VS. GODZILLA! This meeting of legendary movie monsters won our Season Premiere poll in a landslide, handily dispatching Dino De Laurentiis' 1976 Kong remake. And after witnessing the hilariously…

BONUS Episode - Frogs (1972)
Cooper and Nolan are answering nature's call this week when they come face to face with FROGS! This early '70s horror movie asks the question: What happens when nature strikes back? The answer, apparently, is NOT MUCH. Still, with incredibly low-budget special effects, laughably overdone family...
-
Episode 166 - Willy's Wonderland (2021)
Cooper and Nolan are getting back in the cage this week when they take a trip to WILLY'S WONDERLAND! This hybrid horror/comedy saw its chance for a theatrical release thwarted by COVID, leaving Nicolas Cage fans to wonder what might have been. But that's just one of the many unanswered questions...
-
Episode 165 - Double Down (2005)
Cooper and Nolan are crossing one off of their bad movie bucket list this week when they take a gamble on DOUBLE DOWN! The guys have been waiting YEARS to cover a movie by infamous indie filmmaker Neil Breen, and with only one more episode to go until the Season 6 finale they're finally doing it....
-
Episode 164 - The Apple (1980)
Cooper and Nolan are getting glittered up this week when they cut into THE APPLE! This enormous early 80s flop asks the question: what if the Cannon Films guys made a glam rock musical about Adam and Eve set in the futuristic 1990s? Somehow the answer is something stranger than you could possibly...
-
Episode 163 - Cliffhanger (1993)
Cooper and Nolan are letting it all hang out this week when they cover CLIFFHANGER! This notable 90s entry from Sylvester Stallone was one of the last big movies of the bodybuilder action boom, and it pretty much follows the exact formula you'd expect. Still, between the hit-or-miss one-liners,...
-
Episode 162 - Howling II: Your Sister is a Werewolf (1985)
Cooper and Nolan are back with the pack this week, when they discuss HOWLING II: YOUR SISTER IS A WEREWOLF! After covering the original back in Season 3 (which Nolan completely forgot), the guys were thrilled to take a look at what is widely considered one of the silliest sequels ever made. Is…
more -
Episode 161 - Samurai Cop (1991)
Cooper and Nolan are coming face-to-face with a legend this week when they finally cover SAMURAI COP! This gloriously awful piece of low-budget 90s action can be found on pretty much any list of the best bad movies of all time, and one watch is all it takes to realize why. Between the terribly...
-
Episode 160 - Congo (1995)
Cooper and Nolan are going ape this week when they cover 1995's CONGO by special request! After the wild, unbridled success of Jurassic Park, studios were practically tripping over themselves to adapt more Michael Crichton novels. But whatever hopes Paramount Pictures might have had for this one...
-
Episode 159 - Mad Max (1979)
Cooper and Nolan are hitting the road this week when they cover MAD MAX by special request! This dystopian tale from down under was a landmark moment for Australian filmmaking, but the combination of those two elements is forcing the guys to wonder about what constitutes typical Aussie fashion,...
-
Episode 158 - Child's Play 3 (1991)
Cooper and Nolan are putting away childhood things this week when they discuss CHILD'S PLAY 3! This underbaked sequel was a complete rush job from start to finish, which probably explains the terrible dialogue, awful acting, and underwhelming special effects. But what was nearly impossible for…
more -
Episode 157 - Hammer (1972)
Cooper and Nolan are hitting the nail on the head this week when they cover HAMMER! This early Blaxploitation movie about a boxer who gets mixed up with the mob features many of the elements that would become staples of the genre, from flashy fashion choices to bizarre nightclub performances to…
more -
Episode 156 - Tromeo & Juliet (1996)
Love conquers all this week when Cooper and Nolan tell the story of TROMEO & JULIET! This Troma-riffic take on The Bard's classic tale of star-crossed lovers features all the body piercing, kinky sex, and dismemberment you'd expect from a Lloyd Kaufman film, but what you might NOT expect is how...
-
Episode 155 - Superman Returns (2006)
Cooper and Nolan are coming back down to Earth this week when they discuss SUPERMAN RETURNS by special request! It was only 12 episodes ago that the guys covered a Superman movie, and let's just say a LOT has changed since then. A nearly two-decade gap means there's a new Man of Steel in town,...
-
Episode 154 - Killer Condom (1996)
Cooper and Nolan are starting 2026 off with a bang this week, when they finally discuss KILLER CONDOM! This virtually indescribable German horror/comedy is one that the guys have been wanting to cover for a while based purely on the title and subject matter, and it did NOT disappoint. Between...
-
Episode 153 - Jingle All The Way (1996)
Cooper and Nolan are fighting to cross the finish line this week when they cover JINGLE ALL THE WAY! After overindulging during their annual beer draft, it looked like the guys were going to need a Christmas miracle to get this episode out on time. But they rallied, reconvened, and are ready to...
-
2025 Christmas Beer Draft!
In this very special BONUS EPISODE, Cooper and Nolan unbox the first 18 beers from Tag Liquor Stores' 2025 Craft Beer Advent Calendar! What kind of Western Canada brews will they find waiting for them, and how will they build their rosters for this year's Christmas episode? Find out while also...
-
Episode 152 - Malone (1987)
Cooper and Nolan are manning up this week when they cover MALONE by special request! This paint-by-numbers 80s action/thriller doesn't offer a lot of original beats, but what it DOES offer is the chance to discuss stereotypical masculinity, moustaches, and Burt Reynolds' filmography (which one of...
-
Episode 151 - Thankskilling (2008)
Cooper and Nolan are giving thanks this week when they celebrate THANKSKILLING! This gloriously unhinged B-movie (and that might be generous) promised a murderous turkey and boobs in the first second. But after being on the guys' radar for years could it possibly deliver the goods? To find out...
-
Episode 150 - X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)
Cooper and Nolan are going back to where it all began this week when they cover X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE! What could have been a meaningful stand-alone movie about Marvel's most popular mutant ended up feeling more like X-Men 4 thanks to several gratuitous character cameos. The less said about…
more -
Episode 149 - Hobgoblins (1988)
Cooper and Nolan are trying to keep a grip on reality this week when they spend Halloween with HOBGOBLINS! This notorious Gremlins rip-off is more confusing than it is scary, although part of that could be because the creatures the audience is supposed to be afraid of are basically just immobile...
-
Episode 148 - Meteor (1979)
Cooper and Nolan are hoping to avoid disaster this week when they discuss METEOR! You can draw a direct line from this late 70s Sean Connery movie to big hits like Armageddon and Deep Impact, but you can also see why it helped (temporarily) destroy the disaster movie craze. Loaded with terrible...
-
Episode 147 - Alone in the Dark (2005)
Cooper and Nolan are searching for the light switch this week when they find themselves ALONE IN THE DARK! Unlike the well-cast early 80s horror movie of the same name, this mid 2000s movie stars Christian Slater, Tara Reid, and Stephen Dorff, yet somehow was NOT a straight-to-video release. It's...
-
Episode 146 - Howard the Duck (1986)
Cooper and Nolan are crashing down to Earth this week when they cover one of Hollywood's all-time legendary failures - HOWARD THE DUCK! This George Lucas-produced movie is long on duck puns and short on everything else, but even if it had a more coherent plot and better visual effects that still...
-
Episode 145 - The Fog (1980)
Cooper and Nolan are heading back out to sea for another season when they cover the winner of this year's audience poll - John Carpenter's THE FOG! This cult classic was criminally underrated at the time of its release despite featuring a who's who cast of horror veterans, including Jamie Lee...
-
BONUS Episode - Magic Crystal (1986)
Cooper and Nolan are conjuring up something special in this unbelievable BONUS EPISODE, when they discover the MAGIC CRYSTAL! Without a comprehensive knowledge of Hong Kong cinema, the guys may never know if this movie is as insane as it seems. But there IS one thing that they're absolutely sure...
-
Episode 144 - Demolition Man (1993)
Cooper and Nolan are fighting the future this week when they thaw out DEMOLITION MAN for a very special season finale! Nobody expected this Sylvester Stallone sci-fi classic to paint a remotely realistic view of the future when it came out in 1993, but watching it again for the first time in…
more -
Episode 143 - Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)
Cooper and Nolan are going up, up, and away this week, as they discuss SUPERMAN IV: THE QUEST FOR PEACE! Not only was this the movie that led to the downfall of Cannon Films, it also kept the Man of Steel off the silver screen for nearly two decades thanks to a forced storyline about the world's...
-
Episode 142 - The Invisible Maniac (1990)
Cooper and Nolan are putting it out there for all the world to see this week when they meet THE INVISIBLE MANIAC! This VERY low budget 90s horror/comedy leans as hard as possible into gratuitous nudity, which it turns out is just one of many reasons the guys ended up getting on board with it.…
more -
Episode 141 - Death Wish 3 (1985)
Cooper and Nolan are back in action this week when they cover DEATH WISH 3! This may be the shortest ever episode of this podcast, but when an extremely large portion of this movie is just Charles Bronson killing punks while thousands of completely ineffective bullets fly his way, how much is…
more -
Episode 140 - Shocker (1989)
Cooper and Nolan are plugging in this week when they cover Wes Craven's SHOCKER! This supernatural serial killer story is heavy on action but light on details, which left the guys having to guess how or why a lot of stuff was happening. Maybe that's why they spent their time pulling from other...
-
Episode 139 - 1941 (1980)
Cooper and Nolan are reporting for duty this week when they cover Steven Spielberg's 1941! An over the top, madcap comedy with bankable stars, big set pieces and an anti-war (some say anti-American) message might have sounded good on paper, but unfortunately Spielberg forgot that comedies are...
-
Episode 138 - Hard Rock Zombies (1985)
Cooper and Nolan are ready to rock this week when they cover HARD ROCK ZOMBIES! This musical horror/comedy is the kind of insane fever dream that's almost indescribable.

-
Episode 137 - Jurassic Park III (2001)
Cooper and Nolan are leaving it in park this week when they cover JURASSIC PARK III by special request! One of the earliest examples of fan service, this sequel features multiple actors phoning it in while CGI dinosaurs roam free in the background. It also asks the question: What if William H....

-
Episode 135 - Foxy Brown (1974)
Cooper and Nolan aren't messing around this week when they meet FOXY BROWN! This Blaxploitation classic was meant to be a sequel to Coffy, and with the many, MANY things they have in common it really shows. Which is great news for the guys, since they both feel like they rated Coffy too low back…
more -
Episode 134 - Live and Let Die (1973)
Cooper and Nolan are bringing back Bond this week when they cover Roger Moore's first turn as 007 in LIVE AND LET DIE! Seeing as this movie - ahem - borrows heavily from the Blaxploitation film genre, it feels appropriate that the guys are talking about it during Black History Month. From the...
-
Episode 133 - Jack Frost (1997)
Cooper and Nolan are welcoming winter this week when they cover JACK FROST! This infamous straight-to-video horror movie about a homicidal snowman might have the same name as the family film starring Michael Keaton, but as anyone who came home from Blockbuster Video in the late 90s only to find…
more -
Episode 132 - Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky (1991)
Cooper and Nolan are turning the page this week when they take on RIKI-OH: THE STORY OF RICKY!

Add in the ridiculously over-the-top characters, overdubs,...
-
Episode 131 - Surviving Christmas (2004)
Cooper and Nolan are hoping for a miracle this week, when they cover SURVIVING CHRISTMAS! Holiday cheer is in short supply in this early 2000s comedy, which came at a low point in star Ben Affleck's career. But maybe - just maybe - an implausible romantic subplot, jokes about masturbation, and a...
-
2024 Christmas Beer Draft!
In this very special BONUS EPISODE, Cooper and Nolan unbox the first 18 beers from Oranje Son Brewing's 2024 Beer Advent Calendar! Hear the guys' first impressions as they each attempt to build the best possible beer roster for SURVIVING CHRISTMAS, while also reflecting on preferred styles,...

Episode 130 - Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970)
Cooper and Nolan are looking on up at the bottom this week, as they go BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS! Free love is flowing in this hippie-era tale of temptation thanks to infamous exploitation director Russ Meyer, and the guys are going along for the ride. And what a ride it is! One featuring…

Episode 129 - Night Beast (1982)
Cooper and Nolan are having a night to remember this week, when they cover the early 80s sci-fi horror NIGHT BEAST by special request! Now if only they could remember who requested it...

-
Episode 128 - The Running Man (1987)
Cooper and Nolan are making a break for it this week when they cover THE RUNNING MAN! Based on a novel by Steven King, this action packed piece of 80s sci-fi makes some surprisingly accurate predictions about the future, and features what is arguably an underrated Arnold Schwarzenegger…
more -
Episode 127 - Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (1995)

Episode 126 - Hard Ticket to Hawaii (1987)
Cooper and Nolan are headed for paradise this week when they buy a HARD TICKET TO HAWAII! This legendary piece of 80s cheese features embarrassing dialogue, laughable special effects, and some of the worst acting ever captured on film. But what it lacks in production value it makes up for in…
more -
Episode 125 - The Village (2004)
Cooper and Nolan are searching for simpler times this week when they explore THE VILLAGE! Some people remember this as M. Night Shyamalan's last "good" movie before things fell apart in the mid 2000s, but had cracks already started to form beneath the surface? Between that and topics like city...
