If it's one thing that both critics and fans of the beloved series can agree on, it's that M. Night Shyamalan's "The Last Airbender" failed to deliver the goods. In fact, as far as sheer anger goes, this one really seems to take the cake. From name pronunciations to major character arc omissions, "The Last Airbender" is a fascinating cautionary tale on how NOT to approach an adaptation. So the question is, how do you defend a movie that the very creators of the source material hate and pretend doesn't exist? Come along on the journey as Aaron leads Dan through the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Is there anything worth admiring here? They have thoughts.

You knew this was coming. It's impossible to talk about legendarily bad movies without eventually mentioning John Travolta's epic Sci-Fi misfire, Battlefield Earth. Dutch angles, terrible special effects, Scientology, George Lucas, - there's a lot to unpack here. But for all this, does Battlefield Earth manage to deserve "so bad it is good" status? Or is it truly as bad as people say it is? Dan and Aaron put their rat brains to the test!
