For our season 1 finale, we finally tackle the movie that SHOULD have been named Worst Picture of 2021, Thunder Force. While it wasn't nominated for a single Razzie, Ben Falcone and Melissa McCarthy's latest collaborative effort is but one of a whole line of films that beg the simple question: Why? We don't just tear Thunder Force apart -- we go back through the entirety of On The Day Production's films (2014's Tammy, 2016's The Boss, 2018's Life of the Party, and 2020's Superintelligence) to show conclusively that Falcone has not learned much as a director, writer, or storyteller, and break down the bad habits he and McCarthy fall into in the process. But, really, are they ALL bad? Join us for an academic treatise comparing On The Day's work to that of Adam Sandler, the absolute worst super powers you've ever heard of, bewilderment over Octavia Spencer's utter lack of emotion, and more praise for one weird crab man than you probably needed to hear.

We also take a moment to gush about how good The Batman and Everything, Everywhere, All At Once are, because we clearly needed to talk about anything other than these bad comedies for a bit.
