If a 2019 film of the same name could win Best Picture, then this one would get the Golden Raspberry for being the worst. Will, Mike, and Sam dive into 80s B-movie cheese with the 1982 film Parasite. Directed by B-movie icon Charles Band (who is making his first appearance on the podcast but certainly won't be his last) and featuring Demi Moore in her first starring role, the film shows how NOT to do a dystopian-like film with poor, stilted acting, terrible fight sequences that even slow-motion cannot help, and a plot with more holes in it than Swiss cheese. Even though good practical effects at points save this from being Skeleton Man terrible, it is still so mind-numbing that the ending feels like a complete and utter letdown.
