  1. Audience Pick: Air Force One

    FEB 12

    Audience Pick: Air Force One

    It's the episode you literally voted for, so this week democracy wins. We hesitantly got on peak dad-hero Harrison Ford's Air Force One (and he seemed a little grumpy about it, tbh.) It feels a lot like The Fugitive, but with more neck-snapping, and the delightfully unhinged Gary Oldman as a terrorist who somehow hijacks both the world’s most secure aircraft and Joe's heart. Directed by submarine-and-storm enthusiast Wolfgang Petersen, this is Greg's ultimate “Die Hard on a blank” entry — a movie where the President of the United States personally handles hostage negotiations by punching them. (The Vice President, Glenn Close, does all the negotiations, obviously. Vice Presidents do that.) Is it ridiculous? Yes. Is it sincere? Also yes. Does it feature the Leader of the Free World growling “Get off my plane” before launching a man into open air? You bet your nuclear codes it does. Greg and Joe strap in, secure the escape pod, and learn a little something about themselves along the way. As with every episode, this is the love letter that needed to happen about this movie. Also: Drinking Games, Important Questions, Joe's Back of the Box, and more.

  2. Rampage w/ Moira Macdonald (Seattle Times) and David Hallgren

    12/17/2025

    Rampage w/ Moira Macdonald (Seattle Times) and David Hallgren

    Seattle Times writer Moira Macdonald and our good friend David Hallgren join us to talk about (Moira's pick!) Rampage, with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson… Moira was a mystery guest to Greg until the moment she arrives, orchestrated by David and Joe Sky-Tucker.  This week we learned 2018’s Rampage is an under-celebrated feat in cinema…. Potentially one of the most enjoyable movies in recent years. The Rock once again teams up with director Brad Peyton to make a movie David describes as “the seventy-est percent movie ever made.” (70% of course being our Rotten Tomato rating for every movie we watch.) This was a surprisingly easy movie to write a love letter to, and an absolute blast for Greg and Joe to hang out with Moira and David.  It goes without saying… All four of us laughed a lot, and learned a little something about ourselves along the way 😀 Subscribe to Great Bad Movies wherever you listen to podcasts More Great Bad Movies online: InstagramGreat Bad Movies WebsiteYouTubeEmail us at greatbadmoviesshow@gmail.com TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Surprise Guest #1 01:02 - Surprise Guest #2 07:16 - What makes Rampage a Great Bad Movie?? 29:28 - Drinking Games 53:26 - Back of the Box 56:46 - Box Office and Critical Reception 01:03:15 - Signs you might be watching a Great Bad Movie 01:05:14 - Important Questions 01:32:10 - This has been great, but we need to go Hosted on Acast.
