The award-winning comedy podcast that celebrates bad movies. Comedians and actors Paul Scheer (The League), June Diane Raphael (Grace and Frankie), and Jason Mantzoukas (Big Mouth) break down the very best of the worst films ever made—we’re talkin’ blockbuster flops, cheesy 80s action movies, Lifetime thrillers, obscure cult classics, and if we’re honest… most Nic Cage and Jason Statham movies. Plus, sometimes they’re even joined by hilarious guests like Seth Rogen, Conan O’Brien, Amy Schumer, Nicole Byer, Nick Kroll, and Charlize Theron. And the best part? They watch these bad movies so you don’t have to!

LIVE from San Francisco they discuss all the gross kissing, the lion head prop, Alfonso the waiter, the ADR, Samurai Cop's ever-changing wig, the bonkers flirting, all the mid-scene location changes, the real-life heist of a Rembrandt painting that sent the film's star Mathew Karedas to prison, and SO MUCH MORE. To quote Jason, "The fact that this movie exists and we hadn't done it yet means that there's still work to do." #LadyCopLatkes

Like hanging out with old friends
The joy that Paul, June, and Jason bring to each episode, not to mention Paul’s personal dose of pathos and humour that he brings to the special preview episodes, are something that I look forward to tapping into whenever I get time to listen to my favourite podcasts.
Like them, I have a love and appreciation for films, and that certainly extends to being able to deconstruct some of the most bemusing and unlikeliest of films that all make you indeed wonder - how did this get made?!
If you grew up with Mystery Science Theater 3000 you will especially like this podcast, as while they don’t riff on the entire film while you are forced to go on the ride with them like Joel and the Bots had to, they still provide a lot of great Hollywood insider insight.
I came to this podcast because all three of these actors are 100% lock solid favourites on any show they star in or guest appear on, and am so glad they are available like this. They are very responsive to their fans and inclusive of them. I hope to see them at one of their live shows one day, when times are better.
Hiliarity, Weirdness
Have been listening for a couple of years now from New Zealand. Such good humour and enthusiasm in this podcast! Even better when it goes off the rails. Great balance of hosts with distinct opinions and personalities. Excellent lockdown fodder but worth subscribing. One of the only podcasts I genuinely laugh out loud too. One day hope to make it to the balcony for a live show. Top recommendations for other media too.
Brilliant
I look forward to the full episode every fortnight. A very fun podcast.
