Each week on Best of the Rest we take a second look at a movie that was poorly received upon release, but challenge ourselves to only talk about what the movie does well. Maybe not every movie is great, but all movies have GREATNESS!

A Night at the Roxbury
In 1998, Saturday Night Live rushed their new hit star into theaters with A Night at the Roxbury. Although Will Ferrell would go on to much greater success, his first leading film failed to impress at the box office. Now we take a second look to ask.... what is love? And what does this movie do well?Join the Best of the Rest discord: https://discord.gg/86P7jJXNPb Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/user/botrcast Email: bestoftherestpod@gmail.com Social Media @BotRCast on Twitter, Instagram, Face...

It's Pat
After a very brief showing in theaters, It's Pat failed to gain much steam on the home video market either. But this week we're digging up this 90s relic to determine what the movie actually does well.

Wayne's World 2
The first SNL sequel was far less successful than its predecessor, but that doesn't mean it isn't EXCELLENT! We take a second look at Wayne's World 2 and it's outstanding cast and convoluted jokes to discuss everything this movie gets right.Join the Best of the Rest discord: https://discord.gg/86P7jJXNPb Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/user/botrcast Email: bestoftherestpod@gmail.com Social Media @BotRCast on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook Bonus content: Youtube Theme song (vocals) by Mark Bena...

Coneheads
When Saturday Night Live decided to debut some of its characters on the big screen, one of the first adaptations to get the green light was Coneheads. Despite a weak box office and less than stellar reviews, it worked its way into the popular culture of the 90s through cable TV and VHS rentals. Now we're taking a second look at this flop to find what's worth celebrating!Join the Best of the Rest discord: https://discord.gg/86P7jJXNPb Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/user/botrcast Email: besto...

RoboCop (2014)
Part man, part machine, all remake. Critics and audiences alike were dismissive of the 2014 remake of RoboCop, but this week we take a second look at the sleek reboot to find what the movie does well. The stacked cast includes Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, and Samuel L. Jackson, and the action has stood the test of time.

The Day The Earth Stood Still (2008)
The Day The Earth Stood Still is a bonafide classic of the sci-fi genre, so there was understandably much hesitation from movie buffs when it was announced there would be a remake in 2008 starring Keanu Reeves. Although a moderate financial success, the new version did not win over critics or supplant the original in many people's eyes. This week we take a second look to find what this reboot got right!Join the Best of the Rest discord: https://discord.gg/86P7jJXNPb Merch: https://www.teepubl...
Customer Reviews
An Internet Oasis
Even though it seems easier to tear a “bad” movie down, Best Of The Rest showcases the best intentions of the film makers.
The hosts have a great banter, and the show has my favorite new thing in podcasting, “The Mark Strong Award”(which showcases the best acting in the film). Some movies have obvious MVPs, but The Mark Strong can go to anyone in the cast bringing their A game.
Give this show a listen. The positivity might just feel good for a change.
Love the pod
I love this podcast I just wish they didn’t the last airbender. When i first heard of this podcast the first movie that came to mind was the last airbender movie and they won’t do it for some reason.
Great show!
I’ve listened to every episode that I’ve seen the movie for and have been watching movies just so I can listen to the best of the rest crew.
I was worried initially that there wouldn’t be much depth of conversation without the ability to criticize the movies, but those fears were unfounded!
Always a great convo and always leaves me feeling better than when I started.
