He’s one of the biggest stars in Disney history… and he’s a Volkswagen Beetle. HERBIE THE LOVE BUG, the little car who loves racing (and romance), starred in six motion pictures over the last 50 years, and opposite iconic actors like Dean Jones, Bruce Campbell, Lindsay Lohan, Michael Keaton, Cloris Leachman, Harvey Korman, Helen Hayes, Don Knotts and Buddy Hackett, and on this episode of CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED we’re reviewing every single one of these classic - though sometimes overlooked - family films!

Also this week, it’s our annual Oscar wager! William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold compete to see who can predict the most winners, and the loser has to record a free downloadable commentary track for the film they picked as the worst movie of 2017.

Plus: LOTS of new movie reviews, including ANNIHILATION, GAME NIGHT, MUTE, EVERY DAY, THE CURED and THE YOUNG KARL MARX.

Welcome back to Critically Acclaimed, where highbrow and lowbrow collide! Every week, film critics William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold review a BAD movie of YOUR choice and pair it with a GREAT movie of THEIR choice, to make an awesome and enlightening double feature. They also review new movies, answer your letters and more!
