The Worst Movie Podcast dives headfirst into cinema’s biggest disasters, bizarre flops, and guilty pleasures that somehow made it onto the big screen. Each week, Aaron & Ade break down a famously bad (or hilariously misguided) movie—exploring its wildest scenes, behind-the-scenes chaos, and the baffling choices that left critics scratching their heads. From big-budget bombs to forgotten VHS nightmares, we ask the ultimate question: is it good-bad, bad-bad, or secretly genius? Expect laughter, sharp commentary, and maybe even a few guilty confessions about movies we actually love. Whether you’re a cinephile, a casual moviegoer, or just someone who enjoys a good roast, The Worst Movie Podcast is your ticket to the dustbin of Hollywood.

    A Pyromaniac’s Love Story (The One Where Billy Baldwin Burns Down a Bakery)

    This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade finally sneaks in A Pyromaniac's Love Story (1995), a forgotten 90s oddity with a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes that also happens to be one of his all-time favorite films. Set in a fairy-tale version of the present day, the film follows a smitten baker's apprentice (John Leguizamo), an eccentric pyromaniac (William Baldwin, surprisingly unhinged), and a tangled web of confessions, unrequited love, and misplaced gestures. It's a weird, warm, quietly funny movie that somehow never found its audience — and the podcast is officially volunteering to be the spark. Send a text

    Cocktail (The One Where Tom Cruise Flips a Lot of Bottles)

    This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron shake up Cocktail (1988), the Tom Cruise 80s movie that critics savaged with a 9% on Rotten Tomatoes despite making $170 million at the box office. The romance never quite convinces, the tonal swings are abrupt, and yes, the novel it's based on is probably better. But it may also be the best worst movie they've watched yet. Send a text

    Gigli (The One That Brought Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez Together)

    This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron tackle Gigli (2003), the infamous rom-com crime experiment that brought together peak-fame Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. Directed by Martin Brest (Midnight Run, Scent of a Woman), the film tries to blend gangster hijinks, edgy romance, and broad comedy, only to collapse under abrupt tonal shifts, baffling character choices, and moments that have aged into outright discomfort.

    Bewitched (The One Where Will Ferrell Married a Witch)

    This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron revisit Bewitched (2005), the big-screen adaptation of the beloved 1960s sitcom. Starring Nicole Kidman and peak-era Will Ferrell, the film opts for a meta “show-within-a-show” premise that never fully commits to being a rom-com, a satire of Hollywood, or a straightforward comedy. Directed by Nora Ephron and packed with an overqualified supporting cast, Bewitched isn’t aggressively bad—it’s just strangely flat, hesitant, and uninterested in letting its funniest actor actually be funny.

    The Avengers (The One Where Sean Connery Controlled the Weather)

    This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron tackle The Avengers (1998) — the non-Marvel, deeply forgotten adaptation of the stylish 1960s British TV series. Starring Ralph Fiennes, Uma Thurman, and Sean Connery, this $60-million misfire earned a brutal 5% on Rotten Tomatoes. What should have been a sleek, sexy spy thriller instead arrives chopped to pieces, with entire chunks of story seemingly removed and replaced by confusion, teddy bear costumes, and weather-controlling nonsense.

    The Mod Squad (The One Where Claire Danes Wore Levi’s)

    This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron crack open The Mod Squad (1999) — the edgy-for-the-90s TV reboot that tried to turn counterculture cool into a leather-jacketed music video. With Claire Danes, Omar Epps, and Giovanni Ribisi cast as rebellious undercover cops, it’s a film that mistakes vibes for plot and attitude for character development. Grab your club soda with lime and join us — because if The Mod Squad taught us anything, it’s that no amount of wardrobe can fix a plot you can’t follow. Send a text

    Wild Wild West (The One With the Giant Mechanical Spider)

    This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron saddle up for Wild Wild West — the $170-million steampunk western that tried to mash together TV nostalgia, Will Smith swagger, and a giant mechanical spider. Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld at the peak of Will Smith’s 90s superstardom, the film reimagines the classic TV series as a gadget-stuffed action comedy where Jim West and Artemis Gordon race to stop a disgruntled Confederate villain from literally selling off the United States. Along the way, the movie delivers baffling tonal shifts, deeply uncomfortable jokes, Salma Hayek doing absolutely nothing of consequence, and one of the most infamous third acts in blockbuster history. So grab your whiskey, dust off your boots, and saddle up for a deep dive into one of the most expensive misfires of the 1990s — because if Wild Wild West taught us anything, it’s that not even Will Smith’s charm could save a terrible script.

    Bonus Q&A Episode (The One Where Aaron Learns About Listicles)

    This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron hit pause on watching movies and open the mailbag for a year-end Q&A. They touch on how the podcast got started, reflect on their favorite disasters so far, and give a sneak peek at what’s coming next. Because if this Q&A taught us anything, it’s that watching terrible movies is easy—explaining why you keep doing it is the hard part. Send a text
