Episodes

Episode 73 - Gotti
We're kicking off 2019 by looking at the film you voted as the worst of last year, it's 2018's "Wikipedia page of a movie" Gotti! We're talking its inability to focus on plot points of any sort, incoherent flip-flopping timelines and the film's weird-as-hell portrayal of amoral murderer Gotti as…

Episode 72 - Jack Frost
We're wrapping up the year by unwrapping a real lump of coal with 1997's abominable comedy-horror Jack Frost! We're talking the flagrant false advertising of the front cover, the protagonist's absolute idiot kid of a son, THAT shower scene and all the bizarre "zany" music soundtracking this…
more -
Episode 71 - Samurai Cop
We take a trip into the seedy underbelly of 90s filmmaking with the Z-grade trash of 1991's Samurai Cop. If you know, you know but for those unfamiliar with the flick in question, it's 90 minutes of awful dialogue, atrocious editing, sped up car chases and fight scenes and the worst wig you've…
more -
Episode 70 - Body of Evidence
We venture back into the mad world of erotic thrillers with the dreadfully dull Madonna sex vehicle Body of Evidence! We're talking the film's insistence on dreary courtroom scenes over nudity and intercourse, the hilariously buttoned up depictions of kinky sex, shagging people to death and...
-
Episode 69 - Event Horizon
In space, no one can hear you explain the plot of this film. You wanted it, you got it! As voted for by the fans, the dubious honour of this year's Halloween special goes to 1997's Event Horizon! We're talking professor Sam Neill's Exposition 101 class, the blatant cherry-picking from other/…
more -
Episode 68 - Johnny Mnemonic
Narrow the bandwidth, go low-rent! We're jackin' in to the campy 1995 tech thriller Johnny Mnemonic to talk about a future where sideburns don't exist, the internet is a place you can visit and USB sticks seemingly haven't been invented. Also: more dated 90s tech speak, Henry Rollins' acting...
-
Episode 67 - On Deadly Ground
We're going green this episode with the eco-friendly ego trip of Comrade Seagal's directorial debut: 1994's On Deadly Ground! We talk its heavy-handed environmentalism, Michael Caine's incredibly wobbly "American" accent and unlock the mystery behind one of Pulp Fiction's greatest mysteries in…
more -
Episode 66 - Ed
We're back, stepping up to the plate to take on the absolutely criminal, no-joke baseball comedy ED! We're talking director Bill Couterie's background in socio-political war documentaries, the film's obsession with farting, shitting and other bodily functions, the strange placement of race,...
-
Episode 65 - Godzilla
In this episode, we're rampaging all over Roland Emmerich's snooze-fest monster remake, it's 1998's Godzilla! We touch on the film's terrible soundtrack, the total lack of star power, Matthew Broderick-as-leading-man (nope), and the laughable idea that a 300 foot lizard could go missing. Also,...
-
Episode 64 - Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot
Calling all cars! We're back to talk through one of 1992's most infamous shockers and Sylvester Stallone's self-appointed worst film, it's the all-round Oedipal nightmare Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot. First at scene of the crime, we're discussing the highly disobedient mother and her…
more -
Episode 63 - Space Jam
We're lacing up our newest pair of Air Jordans and dunking on a film we really ought to have done a long time, it's 1996's Space Jam! We discuss director Joe Pytka's Wikipedia page and how he doesn't want people thinking he made this film, the flagrant-rule breaking that occurs during the big…
more -
Episode 62 - Last Action Hero
On this installment, we're taking down the ultra-meta, kiddie-film-action-parody mess Last Action Hero! We get into the film's interminably slow pacing, its incongruous references to cop-killing, drug dealers and premature ejaculation, the complete waste of its central concept, and delve into the...
-
Episode 61 - The Emoji Movie
After a long hiatus, we're back with the film you voted for as the worst of 2017, it's the Candy-Crushingly dull, glorified app advert The Emoji Movie! We're running through the intelligence insulting plot, the fact that every beat of the film is explained ad nauseam, crass consumerism and the...
-
Episode 60 - Jack Frost
We're wrapping up 2017 with the mercilessly depressing "kids' film" and decidedly un-Christmas-y Christmas film, it's 1998's Jack Frost. We're talking terrible parenting out the wazoo, the likely shelf-life of Michael Keaton's Christmas-themed band, dispatches from Henry Rollins' spoken word and...
-
Episode 59 - Highlander 2: The Quickening
Sequel Season draws to a close with a film considered to be one of the worst of all time, it's 1991's Highlander 2: The Quickening! We're talking its tenuous grasp on the concept of immortality, 16th century television screens and some of the most unbelievably sloppy filmmaking we've seen. Also,...
-
Episode 58 - Anaconda
Sequel Season is on hold, we're getting in the mood for All Hallow's Eve with our fan-voted Halloween special, it's 1997's Anaconda! We're talking Jon Voight's horrific accent and red t-shirt, the lack of actual horror in this so-called horror film, Owen Wilson's 'wow'-heavy performance…
more -
Episode 57 - Speed 2
Jan De Bont's attempt to rock the boat has made us seasick; we're getting to grips with part two of Sequel Season, it's 1997's slow-as-molasses misfire Speed 2: Cruise Control! We're talking Sandra Bullock's lobotomy between this and Speed 1, whether Willem Dafoe makes a good bad guy, the...
-
Episode 56 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret of the Ooze
Reeking of development hell, Sequel Season finally arrives a whole two months after being announced, and what a doozy we're beginning with, it's 1991's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret of the Ooze! We get confused and confounded over which Turtle is which, and talk the film's utterly...
-
Video Negative x One Good Thing - The Wicker Man '06
The second of this summer's bonus episodes sees Oliver join forces with podcast chums One Good Thing to take on the flash-backing, back-tracking madness of 2006's infamous The Wicker Man! Nic Cages makes an unwelcome return to the show as we interlock the Director's and Theatrical cuts in an...

Pegged as one the decade's worst, we're talking...

-
Episode 52 - Alien 3
On Itunes, no one can hear you scream - we're talking one of the '90s most infamously mistreated films, the "worst sequel in the history of cinema" and Nine Inch Nails music video lookalike Alien 3! Production woes out the wazoo, careless continuity errors, and more baldy British blokes you can...

We're rolling into Bedrock for 1994's lacklustre live action romp, The Flintstones! The Vid Neg crew grapple with the gravel of this narratively lightweight, slavish retread, digging up some hidden gems along the way: stone-faced humour, director Brian Levant's hidden socialist agenda and the...

Episode 36 - Suburban Commando

-
Episode 35 - Mortal Kombat: Annihilation

Episode 33 - Super Mario Bros: The Movie
It was only a matter of time before the Vid Neg crew got to grips with one of cinema's stinkiest, the infamous Super Mario Bros: The Movie.

-
Episode 32 - Predator 2
You are about to witness the strength of street knowledge. The Vid Neg crew return to the City of Angels to take on 1990's Predator 2. A bit more discussion based than previous episodes (which means it's even less funny than usual), we tackle the racial undertones of Pred's character design…
more -
Episode 31 - Captain America
Seen Civil War? Liked it? Good for you, just be glad you didn't have to watch Cap's 1990 affair, the appropriately and inventively titled Captain America.

-
Episode 30 - Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie
Requested by Brett Millen and the Wrestling Rewind Podcast, the Vid Neg crew sit down to review 1995's piss poor Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie. Firmly in the "nostalgia buster" category, any good memories of the classic TV show are dashed by 97 minutes of repetitive action, dull...
