Bad Time Movie Club

Welcome back! In this episode, we discuss Deadly Illusions, Netflix's brand new thriller and absolute critical bomb. We discuss the rights and wrongs of an unreliable narrator, the bizarre Netflix marketing for this film, and why Deadly Illusions maybe (just maybe) should win a GLAAD award. 

In this episode, we discuss Netflix's 2017 fantasy "epic" Bright, a worldbuilding nightmare from top to bottom! We talk about the implications of orc racism, the botched influence of modern fantasy worlds on Bright's construction, and the dangers of revisionist/reconstructive history in fiction.

What a stupid movie- what a sick, masochistic episode! We dive into the 2008 teen romance classic Twilight, a movie that none escaped the mid 2000s fully unscathed from. We discuss our wildly varying relationships with Twilight when the books/movies were being released, what we think of the film's renaissance in recent years, and, of course, whether we were Team Edward or Team Jacob. 

Happy holidays! In this episode, we discuss A California Christmas, the new Netflix film that is barely about Christmas or California. We also talk about wine production, the Hallmark movie formula, and what movies we would have rather watched instead of this one. Open a nice bottle of red and enjoy!

Happy December! In this episode, we talk about the wack-ass sequel to fanfic-film teen hit After, After We Collided! We discuss the movie's bizarre structure, our love for secondary romantic interest Trevor, where exactly this movie takes place, and most importantly, what makes a teen drama actually good. Thank you so much to everyone who listened in 2020!

The most highly anticipated episode of the season - After (2019)! We discuss After's bizarre and controversial origin, the changes made between a horrifying fanfic to a milquetoast teen drama, and what the ethics are in showing quasi-sensual scenes in movies aimed at impressionable audiences. 

Happy Halloween! This week, we're talking about Unfriended, the first ever mixed-media horror movie about a Skype ghost! We talk about our desire to be haunted by a Skype ghost, how long Hannah and Lily were effectively scared by the Skype ghost, and how much we personally would have done to prevent the Skype ghost's tragic fate.

TW: discussions of suicide and rape. 

We're back babyyyyy! We're celebrating the end of our hiatus with a spooky movie for a spooky month, 2017's The Bye Bye Man! We discuss the insanity of the cast, our own personal takes on cheap horror movies, and whether or not we would swipe right on the Bye Bye Man's Tinder profile. 

In this episode, we discuss one of our absolute favorite bad movies, 2016 horror sensation The Boy! We talk about our feelings on the haunted doll genre, our deep love for the titular boy, and what makes The Boy a cut above the rest in terms of horror-suspense. 

"Jamie Dornan really should have been cast as Ted Bundy." This week, we review the frequently-referenced, often-imitated erotic film sensation, Fifty Shades of Grey! We discuss the first film and its origins as Twilight fanfiction, our nostalgia over watching these films for the first time together, and the certain je ne sais quoi of a film series that made BDSM a mainstay of cultural discourse.
