In part 2 of our Superhero fest, we follow Superman IV with another flop from the Supes franchise, 1984's Supergirl, starring Helen Slater of The Legend of Billie Jean fame. How offensive will Jackie's third 1980's teen girl movie be? Can it stand up to the horrible morals established in Teen Witch? Will it have as much creepy sexual misguidance as Tomboy? We're two for two in this genre so hopefully Supergirl will uphold the tradition.
Superman takes on Lex Luthor's crappy cro-magnon clone of the Man of Steel while adding the power of the sun. So he's made of the thing that gives Supes his power on Earth? Bad design, Lex. Oh also, Superman owns a net specifically made to store nuclear missiles. Did he buy that?
Wow, this film...wow. What a train wreck. Superman IV is very easily one of the worst executed films of all time. The writing is awful, the action is awful, the acting is awful, the set design, costumes, sound, editing and even the film credits are awful. At no point in the production process did anyone stop and say, "Guys, this is not it! Start over!" Its preposterous!
So it's an awful pile of garbage....and one of the most enjoyable pieces of crap we've ever watched. It is so much damn fun. The lunacy is constant from the very beginning and never lets off until the end. It's a laugh riot from start to finish. For God's sake, please go watch this film, even if you have seen it recently. It's hilarious. It's fantastic!
Some highlights:
Russian Cosmonaut gets hit by space junk (his head comes off), Jeremy spoke in class today, Jon Cryer's "Ooh noa", Superman's sudden telekinesis powers, the giant statue of Superman that looks terrible,
The great travesty of this film is that if they had left the deleted scenes in the final cut, we wouldn't be talking about The Room, Troll 2, and Birdemic. There would only be Superman IV at the top of heap for worst movie ever made. So if you have a copy on DVD be sure to watch them. They infinitely make the film so much worse which already seems impossible.
This is likely making the Year 3, Year in Review list for multiple hosts of Stinker Madness. Look at these star ratings! It's unbeatable. We truly loved it and had such a blast watching it. We wish every movie we watched was Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.
Its time for another great threepeat of similarly themed crappy movies and in honor of Cap Vs Iron Man we are going to delve into some of the less talked about but maybe even worse superhero movies that have graced the silver screen and then tripped upon entrance. You'll thrill at Superman IV's ineptness! You'll gasp at the offensiveness of Supergirl! You'll wonder at the banana business that is Punisher: War Zone! Join us for this excellent showcase of flops in the worlds of DC and Marvel.
This week we prepare to enter the world of the 4 Christopher Reeves' Superman experience with the fourth and final of them. Superman faces off against Nuclear Man and the world's problem with too many damn nukes! We start the episode with Arch-Maker.com, the only speed dating experience for hero's and villain's trying to find the perfect nemesis match.

Sandahl Bergman and a couple of nut-sacks take us on an Odyssey through one bonkers town to the next in a post-apocalyptic/swords and sandals mashup. We welcome our very special guest, Toren Atkinson of The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets and the Caustic Soda Podcast, to help us attempt to make sense of 1982's She.
We want to say a huge thank you to the very funny, Toren Atkinson. We've all been huge fans of the Caustic Soda Podcast and are happy to have our second of the three hosts on our show. Don't hesitate to go back and listen to our hilarious American Ninja episode with Joe Fulgham for more Caustic Soda business. Toren is also the front-man of the "Chuthulu" rock band, The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets. TDotHT is recording and new album and Toren was kind enough to let us include one of the most badass of tracks, "Nyarlathotep".

Last weekend, millions of Prince fans watched the 1984 music film, Purple Rain, in honor of his Royal Highness, the Purple One. The 3 hosts of Stinker Madness joined in and celebrated the incredible talent and brilliance of Prince Rogers Nelson. The world won't be the same without him.
Let's get to Prince. Wowie wow wow. I think we all know the man was talented but the music performances are so freaking incredible. Its truly breathtaking to watch. The man could put on one hell of a show. We would be bastards if we failed to mention The Revolution who not only support the performances but actually do solid in the acting department too. Well done, you!
In whole, Purple Rain is a template to making a film with little narrative or well told character development exciting and never dull or boring. It's not stop awesome business and we all loved it thoroughly. It has its flaws for sure, and without Prince and the Revolution (you could have the same "story" with any band) this thing is nothing. Put Prince and the Revolution back in and its a non-stop toe-tapping electric neon jolt of enjoyment to your senses.
Yesterday, the Artist Foreverly Known as Prince left us here on Earth with our dicks in our hands saying, "Well that's it. If Prince can die then there is no hope of me living forever." And now, as tears subside, we celebrate the musical genius by honoring his work in 1984's Purple Rain. Wow, what an honor.
Trigger Alert! Trigger Alert!
We start the episode with an intro that some Western religious folk may find offensive. If you offend easily to the impression of God and Heaven then you may want to skip this one. What? It's not like we drew a picture of Moha- (the writer of Stinker Madness has been sacked).
We then treat you with one of the sweetest jams The Purple One ever made (with The New Power Generation) - Sexy MF from the 1992's Love Symbol album.
This week on the Stinker Madness Podcast, Jackie chooses a classic 80's sexy-time "girls can do it too" cheese fest starring Betsy Russell as Tommy. Thus begins our third year in "bad" movie podcasting. Gear up!
In this episode we've got a trailer for "Nancy Dan" a mashup of the trailer for Tomboy and Carol. What? Plus....
The Class of Nuke'm High VS Rock n' Roll High School
2016's Gods of Egypt has not done so well at the box office nor with the critics, so its time for the SM team to take another bad movie field trip. Can the power of Gerard Butler and Jamie Lannister facing off against each other prove to be awesome?
This movie has been lambasted pretty hard by critics and the wiseness that is the Internet. So many people had mad-ons because there were 0 Egyptian actors in the film and its again just a bunch of white guys pretending to be ethnic, ie. Dracula Untold. Well I have a question....who gives a rats ass! If this film was chock full of Egypt's hottest stars (that aren't joining/getting murdered by Daesh) would it be a good movie? Nope. So eat shit, the Internet.
The the casting, the super dumb/laughable dialogue, awful matte work, the bad character motivations, endless things that look bad on screen, the completely nonsensical plot, and you've got a film filled with bad decisions movies that rivals Jupiter Ascending but has NONE of the painful boredom. This thing is flaming god-king filled with gold paint electrified with a bullshit gun.
