Bad Movies Rule!

James, Ryan, and Clint rip open the Bad Movies Rule! mailbag once again! This episode is packed with physical mail magic: a mouth-watering care package from Josh Bowman at Smokey Tony’s BBQ in North Carolina (complete with their signature dry rub and huge live show news for July), The Room + The Disaster Artist DVDs, an emotional support pickle plushie that sends James into a tailspin, and a glowing inflatable ghost light that’s already haunting the studio in April.

Listeners deliver the goods too — defending their ride-or-die “bad” movies (UHF and its legendary Twinkie Wiener Sandwich, Ernest Scared Stupid, Cool as Ice, Equilibrium, Flintstones Vegas, and Casper), sharing wild family stories (a mom’s Ricochet fast-forward freakout and a dad’s front-bear-hug bar-fight suplex), revealing one fan was literally conceived after his parents watched Rambo: First Blood Part II, plus tons of suggestions (Homefront, rollerblade movies, more Charlie Sheen, Jet Li/DMX bangers). Hawaiian Steve, Australian Justin on Anzac Day, trucker Joshua, and more chime in with laughs, compliments, and the usual chaos.

We also get the latest on the repurposed counter (now tracking episodes since someone screwed up the awards), the new Patreon James Bond series “Die Another Episode,” and plenty of classic BMR banter, work stories, and pickle-related trauma. Grab a snack (maybe some dry rub on chicken) and join the fun!

The Bad Movies Rule crew dives headfirst into the murky waters of Jaws 3-D (1983) — the one where the shark crashes SeaWorld, Dennis Quaid runs parkour laps around the lagoon, and the 3D effects look like they were shot on a Super 8 camera pointed at cardboard cutouts.

James, Brian, Bob, and Ryan Farrell suffer through (and occasionally enjoy) the slowest, chunkiest great white in franchise history, bumper boat carnage, dolphin defenders, a grenade-pulling scene for the ages, and enough Leah Thompson chemistry to make you forget the movie’s body count is shockingly low. They roast the effects, debate whether cocaine explains Dennis Quaid’s intensity, pitch a far superior remake starring Arnold Schwarzenegger vs. an orca, and hand out the usual awards.

Is Jaws 3-D a misunderstood cheesy delight or just a bad movie, full stop?

Grab your snorkel, avoid the undersea kingdom tunnels, and join the boys for another hilarious scene-by-scene takedown!

In this special video Mailbag episode of Bad Movies Rule!, the crew (James, Clint, Ryan, and the gang) finally films the unboxing in their new studio and it’s a total fan gift overload! They tear into a mountain of physical mail featuring Buc-ee’s Beaver Nuggets (spicy, white cheddar, and cinnamon varieties), multiple Lego sets including two Back to the Future DeLoreans, Batmobiles, and a killer Spaceballs Winnebago/Eagle 5, plus awesome movie posters (Last Starfighter scroll, Tremors, Conan the Barbarian, and more).

Matt Mulholland absolutely crushes it with a massive haul: signed posters, a signed print, rare DVDs for future BMR Reacts and Horror Reel (Special Dead, Rock ‘n’ Roll High School Forever double feature, Holmes & Watson), and even screenwriter contact info. The team also digs into listener emails (favorite rom-coms like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, 10 Things I Hate About You, and Pretty Woman), workplace stories, Norman’s art prompt request for Clint, and standout voicemails—including Jason’s incredible Star Wars Episode I deployment story (guarding the actual film canisters in Saudi Arabia under armed escort!).

Full of classic BMR banter, studio decorating plans, and nonstop gratitude for the community that keeps the show alive. If you’ve ever wanted to see the crew lose it over snacks, Legos, and legendary fan support, this is the episode for you!

In the brand-new Bad Movies Rule! studio (finally!), James, Clint, Curt, and Joe dive into the 1994 Ice-T vehicle Surviving the Game — a “most dangerous game” thriller packed with Rutger Hauer, Gary Busey at his most unhinged, F. Murray Abraham, John C. McGinley, and Charles S. Dutton.

The crew celebrates the move with dumpster-diving gags, shopping-cart beef debates, endless Gary Busey dog-story impressions, and a full-throated takedown of Ice-T’s… unique… leading-man performance. Expect fire-lit cabin chaos, cliff-jumping logic holes, one of the greatest dinner scenes in bad-movie history, and the boys wondering how this stacked cast somehow made a movie that’s equal parts thrilling and ridiculous.

James, Clint, and Ryan are in the brand-new studio digging into a mountain of physical mail, including a hilarious Key West postcard with a spicy life hack, mega sour candies that destroy faces, Tennessee treats (beef jerky, Goo Goo Clusters, and a surprise pickle monster drawing from a listener's daughter), Deez Nuts from Arkansas, and an epic UK care package full of Jammy Dodgers, Hobnobs, Cadbury goodies, and teacakes.

Heartfelt letters include a listener who kicked cancer's ass while watching the show during chemo, another who found joy and sobriety through BMR after hitting rock bottom, and stories of family movie memories with granddads and Bruce Lee. Plus voicemails about Rambo Nintendo games, Hollywood theories (LL Cool J can never die?), Navy life, and more. We laugh, we get emotional, we eat way too much junk food, and we celebrate the BMRmy. Send physical mail to PO Box 383, Burlington, WI 53105 — it gets opened first!

If you love bad movies, big laughs, and real community, this one's for you.
