This Thing Is Bad

Luminous Studios

Welcome to This Thing Is Bad, a show about what's wrong with the media everyone is supposed to love. Are we an underground rebellion against angry fandom culture? A show dedicated to critiquing the things that deserve so richly to be critiqued, held under the light of a real review instead of on their media pedestals? Maybe and maybe. Join Jack Grimes and Quinn Wolf on a biweekly journey across the media pantheon as they pick apart a show, movie, or franchise you're never supposed to pick apart- and tell you why this thing is bad.

    An Update on This Thing is Bad

    Hey folks, we're looking back at TTiB and decided we're not as excited about it as we were before our summer break. But we're still working on tons of exciting stuff behind the scenes, so look out for that.

    017: Ready Player One is Bad

    This week we put on our dumb-looking VR headsets and jack into a magical virtual world where everyone looks like Mr. Over Watch. And also we read an intensely uncomfortable poem about masturbation. I'm begging you to not take this audio out of context.

    016 - Heathers is Bad

    This week, Jack and Quinn recruit new Luminous member Steven to discuss one story told across three mediums - a story of empty humor, cliche, and overt bigotry. And since the upcoming Heathers TV show seems to hate millennials for being too progressive, we dunk on Joel McHale and Ricky Gervais for doing the same thing. Don't forget to check out Steven's podcast, the CurtainCast! https://soundcloud.com/luminous-studios/sets/the-curtaincast Follow us (but please don't @ us:) twitter.com/Jackapedia_ twitter.com/BackwardsFlow twitter.com/TaxiPhish twitter.com/thecurtaincaist Grab a shirt!: bit.ly/LuminousMerch

    015: Minecraft and Player Archetypes

    In the third This Thing is Good special episode, Quinn reveals one of her somewhat-guilty pleasures - Mining and Crafting. Jack and Quinn discuss what makes Minecraft so appealing to all ages and why its broad appeal shouldn't make it embarrassing to enjoy.

    014: Elon Musk is Bad

    This week on TTiB, we're branching out a little and taking on something that's not a book or a movie- it's a weird cult of personality around a rich guy who pretends to be smart. Then we just kind of get mad about capitalism for a while, so it gets pretty rowdy in the middle.

    013: Harry Potter is Bad

    In today's episode of This Thing is Bad, Jack and Quinn tackle their biggest subject yet: a book series for tweens. We discuss JK Rowling's fabricated diversity, Harry Potter's secret power of framing the world, and college-aged nerds running around with broomsticks.
