Megaforce (1984) is cool in the most uncool ways. Spandex tactical suits, glittery headbands, laser motorcycles and a hero who poses like he's in a cologne ad.
Zoombies (2016)
This is a baffling movie to say the least. While I honestly think its idea was good on paper, the execution leaves a lot to be desired. Full to the brim with hilariously bad acting, stock footage & atrocious CGI creatures - this movie is certainly a sight to behold. But it is so ridiculous that you can’t help but laugh at this disaster piece of nonsense. Making it more of a comedy than anything else. So if you’re looking for something dumb but fun to watch with some friends on a Friday night, give Zoombies a try.
There should be more talk about The Rodfellows Movie here
When you see this poster, you're bound to make some assumptions, and most of them are correct.
Is it furry content? Absolutely.
Does the movie end in a dance scene? You know it.
Is the animation terrible? Yes.
Did they actually get the rights for "Turn Down for What?" I highly doubt it.
Has the dialogue been translated between several languages to arrive to its final version? Just look at the tagline.
This movie is the result of having the drive to make a project with your friends over the course of multiple years, but not having the drive to make any of it good. There are more characters than you can count, terrible audio quality, a meandering and nonsensical plot, and cameos from characters that the creators couldn't have had the rights for.
It's two hours and it took me and my wife at least 5 sittings to get through it. If you're looking to be baffled to the point where you think you may be having a stroke, this movie is for you.
That said, it is endlessly quotable. My wife and I rarely go a day without saying one nonsensical line or another from this movie. Every forest is referred to as a "Jungle Forest." And there is a layer of authenticity that is endlessly endearing, and you can't help but admire the team for completing the project.
This anthropomorphic inflation fetish fox of a movie will make you laugh harder than most comedies and undeniably deserves a watch.
Moonfall (2022)
things go off the rails REAL fast.
SPOILERS: a mysterious black blob from the inside of the moon attacks a space capsule and punches all the astronauts in the face. Houston immediately decides that said mysterious black blob (never seen before) is a "singularity" controlled by "AI," obviously having no idea what either of those words mean. things do not improve from there.
also, Halle Berry has long hair, which is a HUGE downgrade.
Attack of the Killer Refrigerator 1990
So bad that it's even good. Classical Sov SLASHER The impressions are good and for fans of low-quality slashers go I'll tell you right away that this is a 15 minute short film.
Independence Day: Resurgence (2016)
Happy Independence Day! To celebrate, let’s talk about one of the most baffling sequels ever made. This film makes so many decisions that will have you scratching your head. Compared to the original where our disadvantage created a sense of urgency & suspense, the sequel turns into more of a Star Wars rip off than anything else. The film also chooses to turn the aliens into something mimicking the Xenomorphs from the Alien franchise. But with all that being said, this movie is a ton of fun mainly due to how absurd it is. If you’re a fan of the OG, then don’t take this one seriously BUT just sit back and enjoy this disaster comedy. What did you think?
Peeping Tom on stilts - from "Uncle Sam" (1996)
This one was a letdown. I could tell there was some incisive commentary on American militarism and patriotism just under the surface of what was otherwise a pretty dull slasher.
It takes itself very seriously, which isn't inherently bad of course but Uncle Sam lands in an awkward middle ground where it's not greasy and sleazy enough to be truly fun and memorable, but it's also not good enough to be fully enjoyed as a straightforward horror film. There's some fun kills in the third act, but this film is overall dragged down by wooden performances and a lack of atmosphere.
Playing today on Channel Z: Michael Dudikoff in a Cannon classic, Stone & Parker's patriotism puppet parody, two patriotic slashers, Andy Sidaris' son's attempt at sexy action, & a legendary neo-noir anime.
Starts at 6pm EST/3pm PST. Enjoy some cartoons beforehand at 10 AM EST/7 AM PST.

DEATH HOUSE (2017) One of the most ludicrous scenes put on film
So this film was sold as the expendables of horror ft many actors of that kind of cinema (the only one notably not in is robert englund) danny trejo is in the film for less than a minute ... it sure is something. the film is about two special agents trying to escape a maximum security prison for serial killers and features one of the most ridiculous scenes ever made. they descend an elevator shaft by sliding down the support cables and firing at will ... i remembered there being random killers being blasted as the heroes kept sliding down, but i see that there weren't even people trying to attack them the rate they were falling down.
all that with some metal music, holy cow what a movie. i won't say what i thought of the film because of the rules, it truly is a scene filmed for a movie.
Route 666 (2001) Fond Sci-Fi Channel Memories
I saw this way back when the Syfy Channel was still Sci-Fi.
It’s cheese. It’s cringe. It’s bad.
Long story short, guys on a prison chain gang are re-paving a road way out in the desert and get killed by corrupt lawmen. They are buried under the road. So naturally, the road is haunted by their spirits/zombies.
One of the dead guys carries a jack hammer that just sounds unsettling when he’s using it. Freaked my poor brother out.
Good times. The older I get, the more I find pleasure in the bad movies.
Deadly Friend: Crash Course in Brain Surgery
Wes Craven loads the mogwai into an annoying toy robot and, through twists, turns, and reshoots, makes something far weirder than Gremlins and even more lost between between PG and R.
This is the ultimate in 80’s “who is this movie actually for?” technology. An afterschool morality play, a crude teenage sex farce, and a cartoonish portrayal of child abuse conspire to arrive at Mary Shelley. It’s a confused, too-many-cooks-production and a borderline Alan Smithee movie. But the final result is silly and macabre fun, mostly thanks to added, 200% over-the-top gore here and there. The gore saves the movie from its clunky staging and acting.
The original stated vision of Craven is lost, if it was ever there to begin with, and the movie stops well short of asking the obvious and more provocative questions of its premise. But a good cinematic car crash is never a complete waste of time.
Link (1986)
“When a female zoology student is invited to a remote seaside mansion to assist a primatology professor with his experiments involving chimpanzees, dangerous events start to occur, all involving the intelligent 45-year-old chimp, Link.”
I’m not sure why this doesn’t seem to get much love as a “so bad it’s good” movie. If you’ve never seen it, just know that the main “chimp” is not a chimp at all, just an orangutan made to look like a chimp. Unbelievably funny.
