Betsy Goes to the Movies... and sometimes her friends go too Betsy & Friends

- Cine y TV
A #moviepodcast: For years my friends and I watched and shared our couch commentary on good, classic, funny, campy, cheesy, low budget, so-bad-they're-good, bad, and/or older movies that may not have withstood the test of time. I figured why not share with the world?
Each episode has spoilers, and I swear profusely, especially during the really bad movies.

Betsy Watches Double Team
I went into this one expecting a really bad movie. While I was not entirely wrong, I did find myself getting sucked into it more than I expected, and Dennis Rodman was actually fun to watch. Listen while I try to figure out what's going on, navigate the plot holess, and discover that I don't hate it.

Betsy Watches Leprechaun 4: In Space
Continuing in the spirit of really great, low budget movies, I bring you Leprechaun 4: In Space! Yes, I was as surprised as you are, although, to be fair to the franchise, this was my first Leprechaun movie. The rest might be as enjoyable. I guess there’s only one way to find out.

Betsy Watches Let the Wrong One In
I needed a great movie, and this did not disappoint. Within ten minutes I knew it was going to make my top five vampire movies list. It has the perfect blend of campy/gory/jumpy moments, the special effects are great, and the acting is spot on. So listen as I get mad at Matt, get really excited about Anthony Head, and just overall enjoy myself.

Betsy Watches The Peanut Butter Solution
This movie was hard for a number of reasons. First of all, what the hell did I watch?! Second of all, it was recommended by a dear friend who passed away a year ago. I had actually recorded this episode right before he died, and I didn't listen to it until I edited it for this post. So that was difficult. I also did not get the Neverending Story vibe I was promised. There were a lot of "what the hell is going on" moments though.

Betsy Watches Terror at Blood Fart Lake
This movie puts the bad in "so bad it's good". It's deliciously low budget, campy, ridiculous, and I loved it. Listen as I point out plot holes, terrible wigs, and just overall enjoy myself.

Betsy Watches Jason X
To give you an idea of how bad this movie is, I watched it in the middle of October in 2023. That's how much I dreaded listening to the recording. It is on par with The Room or Bloodrayne for being a terrible movie, and I think the 19% on Rotten Tomatoes is actually very generous.
I will never watch this again, and if you want to be spared, just listen to this episode. Trust me.
