Bad Things

Reviewing the worst of the worst - so you don't have to!

For their tenth episode spectacular, Nathan Packham and Jacob Simmons review DreamWorks Studios' first attempt at an adult TV show, Father of the Pride.

Set in the Las Vegas zoo owned by magicians, Siegfried and Roy, Father of the Pride centres around a dysfunctional family of lions and their various friends including a gay elephant, some steroid-pumping warthogs, and a lobster political activist.

Nathan and Jacob are left astounded by this show's poor animation quality, ridiculous plotlines, blunt sense of humour, and an episode that Jacob calls "the worst episode of TV I've ever seen".

Reviewing the worst of the worst - so you don't have to!

Nathan Packham and Jacob Simmons turn their red baseball caps backwards and skateboard into the world of rap rock to examine the third studio album by Limp Bizkit.

This album (which has a title far too long to type out more than once) is a perfect example of the genre; hyper-masculine, hyper-aggressive lyrics over heavy rock beats all shouted and screamed by a white guy from Florida.

It's an album full of clunky rhymes, ludicrous metaphors, and LOTS of swearing, but is there actually some good to found here?

There's only one way to find out.

Nathan Packham and Jacob Simmons take on their most controversial topic yet - the 1990 "sitcom", Heil Honey, I'm Home.

In this utterly bizarre pilot episode, Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun welcome their two Jewish neighbours to their studio apartment whilst trying to entertain Neville Chamberlain. Need we say more?

Nathan and Jacob try their best to stay sane as they deal with stereotypes, over-the-top New York accents, a conga line, and a really bad joke about a Polar Bear.

Nathan Packham and Jacob Simmons settle in for a horror in every sense of the word, as they review 2009's Lesbian Vampire Killers!

The stars of Gavin and Stacey, Matt Horne and James Corden, trade in Barry Island for the mythical village of Cragwich (which is in Norfolk) to fend off some blood-sucking babes.

Nathan and Jacob recoil at the film's laddish humour, squirm at the wooden acting, and are left speechless by some dialogue about medieval gay bars, the female genitalia, and a very special werewolf.

Reviewing the worst of the worst - so you don't have to!

Nathan and Jacob delve into the murky world of reality TV for a case study of one of the most bizarre and poorly-reviewed shows of all time - Fox's I Wanna Marry "Harry", where a dozen unsuspecting women compete to win the affections of an ordinary man masquerading as Prince Harry.

The boys have a lot on their hands - too much for one episode - as they deal with twelve rowdy American ladies, a "Prince Harry" who's not even a real ginger, a hilarious butler, a fake castle, a trip to the Isle of Wight, and an unforeseen intrusion from an English cricket legend.

Get ready for a royally good time.
