Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Good, The Bad, and The What!? The show in which we discuss three films that we have deemed "good," "bad," or "what!?" within a subgenre, theme, motif, director or actor's filmography, and more!

This week, Ryan and Chris dive into three films of varying tones, but all revolve around an opportunity to make a wish, but with deadly consequences. We start with 1999 Hong Kong oddity “Erotic Nightmare,” recently released in a new box set courtesy of Vinegar Syndrome. It’s a bizarre mix of softcore and horror, but it largely works. Then, we move into 2017’s enjoyable disaster “Wish Upon,” that attempts to be the PG-13 teen movie version of this kind of formula (with a little “Final Destination” thrown in) and fails spectacularly. Finally, we discuss Richard Kelly’s 2009 Richard Matheson adaptation, “The Box,” which has a lot of merit but doesn’t quite come together.
