eh no. the core event of red Sonja is that she is raped by some barbarian ruffians and a goddess grants her amazing swordfighting skills so she can take revenge and she may never lay with man that cannot best her in single combat.
Markus Nävergård
2025-01-16 22:05:04 +0000 UTCso his stint as a guest star in friends was just a small break from his copaganda of magnum and his copaganda of his later careerer
Markus Nävergård
2025-01-16 21:57:36 +0000 UTCthat is bad and what is worse is that i thought " could been worse". but yeah that is asshole behaviour.
Markus Nävergård
2025-01-16 21:56:40 +0000 UTCThe Langoliers. A decent Stephen King novella with some of the worst early CGI to exist at the time. Not end of Spawn bad, but bad.

2025-01-16 00:54:36 +0000 UTCNo, she’s right. I love it too, but it’s objectively a so-so movie.
Reverend Paleo
2025-01-16 00:53:48 +0000 UTCGun nut, has done nothing but copaganda for a couple decades, and stole hundreds of thousands of gallons of water from a California (can’t remember the town) fire system to water his avocado ranch.

MoonRiver
2025-01-15 20:35:08 +0000 UTCNight Patrol (1983). The Unknown comic, Linda Blair, Pat Morita, and pre Dice Andrew Clay. Black face. Gay stereotypes. Billy Barty in one of his last roles... And he sued the producers for fart sounds added in post. It's an early 80's Trainwreck with some absolutely funny jokes and real psychic pain. If you want the worst, Night Patrol.

2025-01-11 21:03:18 +0000 UTCOoooo - Under The Rainbow (‘81). I was sooooo excited to show this to my sweetie when I saw it was on Prime, so rented it… If I coulda got my money back I would have burned it to prevent spoiling all other money. DID NOT HOLD UP, is what I’m saying.

Reverend Paleo
2025-01-11 15:45:49 +0000 UTCthey dealt with far worse movies
Markus Nävergård
2025-01-11 10:26:59 +0000 UTCI can see them giving this one a wide berth given that there isn't much in the movie to make jokes about. It's basically a movie about a college kid with schizophrenia and how his friends and family wind up taking the worst approach in dealing with it.
Detective Popcorn
2025-01-11 04:37:15 +0000 UTCI still can't believe Futurama actually referenced that. I didn't learn it until like, 18 years later. "What have I told you!? NO! MORE! HANGING! WIRES!"

2025-01-10 21:51:33 +0000 UTCmmhm, i mean fuck they could do one on the jack T Chick comic Dark Dungeons alone. I´ve waited a long time for them to tackle the satanic panic in general ( first one, in the 80´s, not the Q-Anon one)
Markus Nävergård
2025-01-10 07:06:29 +0000 UTCMy very favorite 80s movie (because I am a trash person) is Big Trouble in Little China. Pretty pretty please 🙏
Christy
2025-01-10 00:43:11 +0000 UTChonestly, I think the anti-DnD angle is so heavily tied to Christianity I'd say it qualifies for the main feed. hard to believe they haven't done it already

Markus Nävergård
2025-01-09 20:08:16 +0000 UTCor Death wish 1 for that matter, the author of the book was distraught over how conservatives loved th emovie, because that was not what his book was about.
Markus Nävergård
2025-01-09 20:06:24 +0000 UTCfirst i would Say Conan the barbarian. god i do not like that movie and i am a avid conan fan, i have a extensive collection of the marvel comics and Robert E Howards full compleation of Conan Stories, including the only Novel, Hour of the dragon. atleast the movie´s soundtrack is kick ass. Every character in that first movie is wrong. Conan was not a slave bound to a wheel, he elft cimmeria after hearing his grandfathers stories, at the age of 15 after the cimmerians destroyed the Aquilonian fort of Venarium. Conan was enslaved much later in a Hyperborian castle by a necromancer, but escaped. Thulsa Doom was a sorcerer from the pre cataclysmic age of Thuria, he was a skull faced lich magician and enemy of the atlantean barbarian then king Kull.
Markus Nävergård
2025-01-09 20:05:32 +0000 UTCCalifornia! i find that movie kinda endearing. i just has a soft spot for the kid who is clearly autistic,mourning his sister, it is kinda sweet.
Markus Nävergård
2025-01-09 20:00:59 +0000 UTCMaces and Monsters, Tom hanks in a Anti DnD movie where only Tom hanks character goes insane. it is based on a awful anti roleplay book by the same name, but only one of the players goes off to the deep end and ends up in a insane asylum and all his friends are fine, even the guy with a insane mother that remakes his room with out any warning. " sounds like a far out crime" " Maces and Monsters is a far out game"
Markus Nävergård
2025-01-09 19:59:58 +0000 UTCOOOOOH i heard of this one. it is absed on a series of cheap novels. the guy who wrote them was such a insane conspicay beliving reactionary xenophobe, other conservative authors thought he was to much.
Markus Nävergård
2025-01-09 19:56:40 +0000 UTCIt's gotta be 1982's "MegaForce", star Barry Bostwick as Ace Hunter Or 1988's "Hell comes to Frogtown", Starring Roddy Piper
LochUnruly
2025-01-09 14:55:05 +0000 UTCHoward the duck please . It's just bad
Sean Mcfall
2025-01-09 08:26:46 +0000 UTCIt's a movie that argues against gun registration, illegal immigrants are part of the communist plot to invade America, and it was good your father abused you so you could become a guerilla in world War 3. It could be in the main feed.
Aaron Irvin
2025-01-09 07:20:21 +0000 UTCAmityville 2,the possession from 1982 comes to mind. Or Inchon, 1981.

Jon & Sam
2025-01-08 03:40:11 +0000 UTC"The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension". So much promise wasted 'cause the director didn't know what kind of movie he wanted to make. Peter Weller being charismatic in some scenes then just phoning in others 'cause he's sick of reshoots and script changes. John Lithgow's bouncing off the walls while eating all the scenery performance. (And that was after the director made him tone his performance down 'cause he was too crazy initially). Oh, and all the good aliens from the 8th dimension are Jamacian.
Lord Lotech
2025-01-08 03:24:16 +0000 UTCThey also did The Prophecy with Christopher Walken as the angel Gabriel and Viggo Mortensen as one of the best performances of Lucifer ever. Still deserved the review even though it was just Heath wanting to watch a good movie.

2025-01-08 03:08:55 +0000 UTCMy first thought is the classic bad movie to end all bad movies, one that I loved as a child, for some unknown reason: Howard the Duck
SadPanda
2025-01-08 02:56:13 +0000 UTCGood Bad exists. Lost Boys is so effing good but it put a gun to my head and made me gay. They Live is an excellent story with poor acting. Except Keith David. He is a golden god and i will hear no cross words against his buttery gargoyle voice.

CarrieBoo
2025-01-07 23:45:06 +0000 UTCNot the worst (in fact an old chestnut an ex turned me on to in the late 80s early 90s), Penelope Spheeris 1983 "Suburbia". Staring a very young Flea (of The Red Hot Chili Peppers).

Garrett Cousino
2025-01-07 22:38:30 +0000 UTCXanadu! C'mon, it has a magical roller rink. I also find The Ewok Adventure or Ewoks: The Battle for Endor compelling as "good bad." Damn, I forgot about Ghoulies - that's another "this is bad but sort of fun" movie. Wait: House, or House II: the Second Story would also be fun. I'll just continue my trip down memory lane...
Erik N Wiseman
2025-01-07 22:34:17 +0000 UTCYor, the Hunter from the Future There's a scene where the protagonist uses the rigor-mortised corpse of a giant bat to hang-glide-kick a purple caveman. And that's among the least memorable scenes from this movie!

John F
2025-01-07 20:30:04 +0000 UTCOh, that one's pretty amazing. It plays out a little bit like the movie adaptation of a one-season cartoon that nobody remembers. Five adult orphans live together in the same house, are in the same band, are going to the same college, and are in the same Tae Kwon Do class. They sing songs! They fight crime! One of them is looking for his absentee father! The ending caption is completely opposed to the previous entire movie!

2025-01-07 16:30:12 +0000 UTCHow about movies that everyone thought were "woke" but really are the opposite if you look at them critically? Soul Man- C. Thomas Howell does blackface to learn "racism is bad" but in reality you get a movie by a white writer and director that is "you know what the REAL problem is" Tootsie- Let's break this down. Young, good-looking actor can't get a good acting job because he's an asshole. So despite the fact that >90% of acting roles you could earn a living with are only offered to people like HIM, he decides to disguise himself for a recurring role meant for an older, non-traditionally good-looking woman. That role would be an absolute unicorn and life-changing for the older female actor it was meant for. He not only steals that role, he burns it forever because there's no way they'd recast it and they'd never offer that type of role again (because the audience would be always wondering "is that just some dude in drag"). Half the jokes are lazy "gay panic" jokes and we get to see that women WOULD have equality if they just asked for it but it takes the man in the dress to realize that and just get it done.
