Having the post-Wrestlemania Blues? Didn’t think it was fair how that they wrote that one guy to lose to another? Have no fear, because we vented your frustrations for you, by giving the ol’ snapmare to the classic professional wrestling film Ready To Rumble. Listen in as we discuss the highest high, and lowest lows of this sports entertainment classic, and Oliver Platt!
March Madness is almost at an end, but just in case you're not ready we have a podcast episode for you! We watched NCAA basketball movie favorite, The Sixth Man. We brought on our own sixth man, hoophead Dave, who provided the 6'8" height, as well as the basketball knowledge to this MADNESS themed podcast. We talked the Wayans, how having a ghost on your team is cheating, death, and of course did a fantasy basketball draft. LISTEN UP!
We know what you're thinking... With arms wide open! No, not that Creed. We watched the Creed where they murder people and where the movie is unintentionally murdered of all value in the process. Nick and Stephen and special guest and video game fanatic Sean watched the worst movie involving the word creed, and got down to just how did they take such a cool idea and make it so, so, so lame. We play many games, go off topic quite often, and enjoy the podcast more than the movie. Listen up!
It's the month of women, and we're starting to think we celebrated it the wrong way, we watched Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. With the help of girlfriend of the pod, Ellen, we dive deep into the (arguably) better version of Indiana Jones. We talk about Angie's career making movie, how it leads to Brad Pitt, Cambodia, and beyond. The episode also features the new and most exciting games ever to be done (probably) on Reel Rotten.
WARNING: In honor of this being the worst movie of the year we produced easily our worst podcast to date. We experienced feedback and buzzing throughout the episode, and though we would love to blame it on our producer Kyle it seems to be just a temporary equipment malfunction. So if you make it through the episode, email us and we'll send you bitcoins. REAL BITCOINS!
Fire emoji, is not the emoji we would use to describe this movie. The "winner" of The Golden Raspberry, The Emoji Movie is perhaps not actually the worst film of last year, but it definitely isn't the best. Nick, Stephen and special/default guest/producer Kyle go in depth on a movie about using pictures to talk. Give it a listen, or not, we don't give a [poop emoji].
As part of our 2 show Oscar night show coverage we had the Ladies of Reel Rotten, Ellen, Genevieve and Rachael come on and talk about 2017 for women. It is likely the funniest, most concise, and all-around best episode we've done to date, and by we, we mean the white men that run this podcast. (Though we fucked it up more than anything)
For part 1 of a 2 part Oscar Episode the guys finally got fresh. After being beat down by bad movie after bad movie, Nick, Stephen, and friend of the pod Alex Mallonee discuss their top 10 films of 2017. They award their own oscars, discuss who had the best years, and just really what tickled our fancy this year.
Happy Oscars Day to all you cool cats out there. Feline like a not-so-great film to counter-balance the celebration of this year’s best? Nothing is finer than Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry’s most superiorly inferior superhero film, Catwoman! Join Nick, Stephen, and special guest Derrick Lamb as we discuss this unintentional farce.
SHOW NOTES
Derrick’s blurb: A hairball would leave a better taste in my mouth than this Catwoman movie.
Stephen’s blurb: Meow’s not the time, meow’s never the time, for a Halle Berry–Sharon Stone–Benjamin Bratt vehicle.
Nick’s blurb: Cross in your eyes.
Are you already having Olympics withdrawals, well we have the show for you, D2: The Mighty Ducks. Just like T2, D2 is an action romp filled with... action? It features the classic matchup of youth hockey titans Iceland and USA (most of which come from the same Twin Cities area in Minnesota). This episode, Nick and Stephen, with the help of actual hockey player Matt, discuss everything from Trinidad and Tabago having a hockey team, to why the hell they kept Goldberg in despite giving up obscene amounts of goals.
SHOW NOTES
Stephen’s blurb: This movie was just as good, and just as terrible, when when I initially saw this in 1994.
Matt’s blurb: It was like the awkward middle movie that I can’t keep watching enough of.
Nick’s blurb: Quack.
Dear Listener,
We hope you listen to this episode about love and grief and shallow selfish characters only caring about their love and grief. Ah, life! Nick and Stephen and special guest (A WOMAN) Rachael break down the movie meant to break you down. They talk new versions of the movie, Swankiest moments, and a new segment, Rachael's Rant!
Yours,
Reel Rotten
P.S. I love shoes
SHOW NOTES
Stephen’s blurb: If you’re a fan of happy movies, sad movies, movies that give you hope, movies that make you want to change your life—watch The Mighty Ducks 2.
Nick’s blurb: Dear P.S. I Love You, It was okay to see you again. P.P.S. Never again. That’s from Nick.
Rachael’s blurb: P.S. I Love You—relive a lost relationship, and take a walk through Holly’s ugly shoes.
