Bad Movie Brunch

Hot of the presses is Luke, Taylor, and Katie's favorite stuff they watched in the year of our lord 2020. In a year that was largely without feature films and theatergoing experiences, we had to resort to tv shows too. Deal with it.

"New Year's Eve" (2011) // Dir. Garry Marshall

Goodbye, 2020. Bid that awful year a fine adieu with Luke, Katie, and movie juggling more plot lines than you can shoot a confetti popper at! All you need to know is...it's NYE in NYC and people are very concerned with the ball dropping at midnight.

"Surviving Christmas" (2004) // Dir. Mike Mitchell

How could there be a Ben Affleck movie that we didn't know existed? Let alone a CHRISTMAS AFFLECK MOVIE SET IN ILLINOIS? We must be slipping in our old age! This movie was wiped from the face of the planet, but Amazon Prime Video gave us the gift of streaming this flick into our homes for the holidays.

"Jingle All the Way" (1996) // DIr. Brian Levant

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit's Turbo Time! Can Howard secure that damn Turbo Man doll? Will Phil Hartman hook up with his wife? Why is Sinbad committing mail fraud and terrorism? All these questions aren't really answered in this episode, but we adore the damn movie!

"Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas" (1997) // Dir. Andy Knight

In this edition, the holiday vibes continue as we transition in Christmas Movie Season. It's a time of bad plots and passable storytelling for the greater good of yuletide joy. Keep in mind, everything thing that happens this movie is official Disney canon. Weird, right?

"Friendsgiving" (2020) // Dir. Nicol Paone

In this edition, Taylor schools Luke on some improv (and is possibly drunk, we're not sure). Katie brings another turkey-day-centric flick to the fold and keeps the show on its rails at all costs.

"A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" // Dir. Bill Melendez and Phil Roman

In this fall edition of BMB, we urge you to look past the 100 percent Rotten Tomato score and look deeper into this particular tv special. Or, Apple TV special, as it were. Sick burn!

"Xanadu" (1980) // Dir. Robert Greenwald

In this edition, Luke is an innocent bystander as Katie and Taylor discuss the movie that inspired the Golden Raspberry Awards (better knows as the Razzies). Buckle up for safety.

"Hubie Halloween" (2020) // Dir. Steven Brill

In this extra spooky (not really) episode, we're talking about Halloween. Hubie Halloween, that is. If a bot watched every Happy Madison movie, this would be the result. Is that a bad thing? Not necessarily.

"Grandma's Boy" (2006) // Dir. Nicholaus Goossen

Katie, Luke, and Taylor unpack the surprisingly wholesome stoner comedy from a bygone era that really wasn't that long ago. And we say "wholesome" knowing full well Jonah Hill sucks on a boob for quite some time in this flick.
