This week on B Is for Bad, we head into the dystopian future of Barb Wire (1996) — where Pamela Anderson plays a nightclub owner and bounty hunter trying to stay out of a rebellion while absolutely everyone around her keeps dragging her into it.

We talk about the over-the-top style, comic-book attitude, action scenes, wonderfully blunt dialogue, and the fact that this movie is basically Casablanca filtered through leather, explosions, and mid-90s excess. From corrupt government goons to motorcycle chases and enough neon to permanently damage your eyesight, Barb Wire is one hell of a cinematic time capsule.

Spoilers included. Language explicit. Subtlety nowhere to be found.

Bad movies deserve to be discussed just as passionately as good ones — and the weirder, the better.

This week on B Is for Bad, we’re doing a double feature and taking the Leprechaun somewhere the franchise absolutely had to go eventually: the hood.

First up is Leprechaun in the Hood (2000), where Ice-T, aspiring rappers, a magical flute, and one extremely pissed-off Leprechaun collide in a wonderfully bizarre attempt to mix supernatural horror with early-2000s hip-hop. Then we jump into Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood (2003), where the little green menace returns for his gold and somehow finds even more ridiculous ways to terrorize everyone standing between him and his treasure.

We talk about the kills, rhymes, questionable decisions, wildly different tones of the two movies, and just how far this franchise is willing to stretch the concept of an evil Irish folklore creature hunting down stolen gold.

Spoilers included. Language explicit. Leprechaun rap performances unfortunately unavoidable.

This week on B Is for Bad, we head to Camp Arawak for Sleepaway Camp (1983) — the wonderfully strange slasher packed with cruel campers, bizarre adults, creative kills, and enough awkward dialogue to make summer camp feel like the most dangerous place on Earth.

We talk about the memorable deaths, wonderfully weird performances, Aunt Martha being on an entirely different planet from everyone else, and all the odd little choices that make this movie feel unlike almost any other slasher from the era. And, of course, we get into that legendary final reveal and why the last few minutes have kept people talking about Sleepaway Camp for decades.

Spoilers included. Language explicit. Camp supervision apparently nonexistent.

This week on B Is for Bad, we finally enter the wonderfully baffling world of The Room (2003) — Tommy Wiseau’s infamous drama about love, friendship, betrayal, football tossing, framed spoons, and approximately a thousand conversations that no human being has ever had naturally.

We talk about the legendary dialogue, inexplicable character choices, bizarre editing, uncomfortable romance, endless establishing shots, and Tommy Wiseau’s unforgettable performance as Johnny. From rooftop confrontations to characters who appear, disappear, and occasionally announce that they definitely have cancer, The Room has earned its reputation as one of the ultimate so-bad-it’s-good movie experiences.

Spoilers included. Language explicit. Our ability to understand what the hell is happening is not guaranteed.

This week on B Is for Bad, we dive into Peter Jackson’s gloriously disgusting splatter comedy Braindead, released in the United States as Dead Alive. After a vicious rat-monkey bites Lionel’s controlling mother, his already miserable home life becomes a full-blown zombie outbreak.

We discuss the outrageous practical effects, endlessly escalating gore, bizarre romance, kung-fu priest, zombie baby, and the legendary lawnmower massacre that turns one house party into a blood-soaked nightmare. Few movies have ever worked this hard to be hilarious, revolting, and completely unhinged at the same time.

Spoilers included. Language explicit. Respect for custard, internal organs, and wonderfully excessive filmmaking not guaranteed.

This week on B Is for Bad, we witness the second coming as Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter (2001) sends Jesus into modern-day Ottawa to battle skin-stealing vampires with kung fu, musical numbers, and a masked wrestler by his side.

We discuss the gloriously low-budget action, outrageous dialogue, catchy songs, bizarre religious imagery, and the surprising sincerity beneath all the sacrilegious insanity. From atheists arriving by the carload to Jesus performing miracles before throwing hands, this is independent B-movie filmmaking at its most fearless and unforgettable.

Spoilers included. Language explicit. Respect for unconventional cinema always.

We discuss the incredible creature designs, practical effects, over-the-top violence, bizarre alien mythology, and the hilariously dysfunctional family trapped in the middle of it all. From intergalactic warriors to the deadliest game of Crazy Ball ever played, this movie commits completely to its blood-soaked Saturday-morning-cartoon insanity.

Spoilers included. Language explicit. Love for monsters, mayhem, and wonderfully deranged movies always.

This week on B Is for Bad, we head to a remote island for the Roger Corman cult classic Attack of the Crab Monsters (1957)—where a scientific expedition discovers that radiation has created giant, intelligent crabs with a taste for human prey.

This week on B Is for Bad, we pull back the curtain on The First Nudie Musical (1976)—a wildly unconventional comedy that mixes Broadway-style musical numbers with sexploitation satire and a whole lot of low-budget charm.
