    #264 - A Knight's Tale (2000)

    In this episode of Bad Movies Rule!, the crew straps on the armor and charges headfirst into A Knight's Tale (2001), the delightful medieval sports romp starring a baby-faced Heath Ledger as William Thatcher — a peasant who dreams of changing his stars by pretending to be a noble-born jouster. Joined by Dave, Rachel, and Mayor Ryan Mueller, we break down the film's infectious charm: the anachronistic rock soundtrack (We Will Rock You never hit harder), Paul Bettany's scene-stealing Geoffrey Chaucer as the ultimate hype man, Rufus Sewell's perfectly punchable villain Count Adhemar, and the unbeatable ensemble energy. We geek out over the jousting action, Heath Ledger's million-dollar smile, the heartfelt underdog story, and why this movie's sincerity hits different in a cynical world. Expect tons of laughs, training montage appreciation, deleted scene tangents, wild "what if Arnold Schwarzenegger was in this" recasting ideas, and our full awards ceremony (including the hard-fought Will Patton Award for Intensity). Whether you're a first-timer or a longtime fan who quotes "You have been weighed, you have been measured" on the daily, this is a love letter to one of the most rewatchable "good movies" out there.

    Gregory Snegoff: From Godan in SHE to Robotech Legend & Real-Life Adventurer

    In this special episode of Bad Movies Rule!, we sit down with legendary actor and voice artist Gregory Snegoff - (Godan in the 1984 cult oddity She) for a wide-ranging conversation beamed in from Rome, Italy. Gregory shares his unforgettable experience filming She — an Italian-Israeli production shot in an abandoned villa outside Rome — including working with Sandahl Bergman, the wildly improvisational David "Popeye" Trailer, and director Avi Nesher. He dives into the chaotic, low-budget energy of the shoot, the film's bizarre cult-filled world, and why the movie remains so entertainingly unpredictable even 40+ years later. We also explore Gregory's incredible career: moving to Italy in 1979, becoming a cornerstone of Rome's English-language dubbing scene, voicing iconic roles in Robotech (and many other anime classics), writing for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, and his deep love of sailing. Plus, he teases his ambitious new documentary series MythAdventures, which re-examines the real historical routes of legendary voyages like the Odyssey using nautical expertise and forgotten research. Whether you're a fan of She, Robotech, Italian cult cinema, or epic sailing adventures, this is a delightful, insightful, and often hilarious chat with a true industry veteran.

    Mailbag: Steamy Top Gun Dreams & 2 Foot Hot Worms!

    James, Clint, and Ryan dig into another wild Bad Movies Rule! Mailbag, complete with physical mail torture and premium fanfic content. They kick things off by devouring a two-foot-long spicy gummy worm (a “chip shot” from Clemens in Nashville) that builds heat with every bite — watch Ryan suffer gloriously. Other highlights include a copy of The Alphabet of Manliness (complete with crescent c**k punch instructions) sent to help Ryan learn how to be a man, multiple passionate emails defending The Crow (including real Detroit Devil’s Night fire facts), a heated debate over whether the kid cheated in Rad, Street Fighter being re-cast as the best G.I. Joe movie, and suggestions for Planet of the Apes, Deadfall, and more. Voicemails cover everything from Jason Statham as an orca-killing pool boy, horror movies for kids (Signs vs. The Village), and Wes Studi name corrections from The Program. The episode peaks with BJ’s legendary Top Gun-themed Ryan/Maverick fanfic featuring Kelly McGillis that leaves everyone (especially Ryan) equal parts horrified and impressed. As always, the guys are grateful for the incredible community keeping the mail flowing. Want to be featured?

    #263 - Lone Wolf McQuade (1983)

    Chuck Norris rides (and roundhouse kicks) into Bad Movies Rule for a full-length tribute to one of his all-time classics: Lone Wolf McQuade (1983)! In this rowdy, beer-soaked episode, James, Bob, Chuck, Jenna, and special guest Jack Dean saddle up for a scene-by-scene breakdown of the ultimate lone-wolf Texas Ranger movie. Expect plenty of Ranger drinking game talk (RIP to anyone who actually tried it), dirt-covered romance, supercharged Dodge Ram chases, one of the greatest final fights in Chuck’s filmography, and more “but lady,” “Ranger,” and horse-related commentary than you can shake a vest at. They also dive into Chuck’s real-life inspiration, the Walker, Texas Ranger spiritual predecessor vibes, David Carradine’s slick villainy, the legendary Franco De Vita score, and crown winners in our usual awards (Will Patton, Trash Can Full of Dirt, etc.). Plus, patron recasts and a heartfelt send-off to the legend himself. Whether you’re a lifelong Chuckhead or this is your first ride with the beard, this one’s pure BMR gold: equal parts ridiculous, reverent, and rowdy.

    Mailbag: The Crow Fans Fight Back + Sly Stallone Voicemail

    James, Ryan, and Clint power through another late-night Bad Movies Rule! Mailbag, fueled by the greatest fans in the game and the world’s most hype intro song. They kick things off by ripping open a package from Jason at Alamo City Comics — the first three issues of his crowdfunded comic Mercer (autographed and Punisher-vibes approved). Voicemails include a dead-ringer “Double S” (Sly Stallone?) praising Rhinestone and their favorite-actor episodes, plus first-time caller Falcon catching up on the entire back catalog. Emails bring everything from an uncle’s Holmes & Watson trauma (and the subsequent bad-movie intervention), Curt Mummer’s snail-sex deep dive and 24 Hours of Lemons racing glory, multiple passionate “In Defense of The Crow” breakdowns (Brandon Lee tragedy, studio rush job, and the infamous cut Skull Cowboy character), Jaws: The Revenge shark-conspiracy theories, starter horror movie tier lists for kids, and a gloriously uncomfortable sexy fanfic written just for Ryan Mattila. Bill calls in with a heartfelt Bunraku apology (and a plea to give the movie a proper full-episode shot), while the guys Google-Translate their way through Latin prayers, correct Walker Texas Ranger lore, and brainstorm apocalypse-riff movies. As always, the crew is equal parts tired, wired, and endlessly grateful. Want to be on the next mailbag?
