I love this podcast

Every time they hit a movie I could care less about it ends up being my new favorite episode. Thanks guys, keep them coming!

Friendly fellas doing good work

A great addition to the bad*-movie podcast genre.

*although, as they clarify in the intro, this is a podcast about movies that did badly .

They cover the famous bombs, the forgotten bombs, and the movies you loved and didn’t realize were bombs. Jon and Ian give every movie a fair chance, are they are just a couple of pleasant dudes to hang out with for an hour.

I love the dang ‘ol blast zone

Jon and Ian leverage their experience to provide intelligent, unpretentious and relatable reviews with useful, well-researched background on the films’ production and reception. The podcast’s simple and effective format, the hosts’ easy banter, impressive and individualized episode soundtracks and hilarious voiceovers make for a bingeable catalog. Love everything these guys are doing and get psyched whenever there’s a new release.
