Is it Good? episodes

  • Ep. 7 - The Fastest Guitar Alive

    Sorry, no movie clips this week! Copyright strikes for music tend to be pretty harsh, so it's best to stay away from using them here. Use your imagination! Or don't! Either way it's probably not as disappointing as the real thing. This week, your hosts discuss Roy Orbison's first and only film foray, The Fastest Guitar Alive. I'll let you in on a secret: There's a reason it was the only one.

    Some stuff in this one:

    • Deep ignorance about the history of popcorn (from the movie, not the hosts).
    • Redface, but they actually didn't know (except for the guy doing it).
    • Some of Orbison's worst lyrics.
    • Confederate apologia.
    • A really dumb gun.

      • Thanks to Tom Lehrer for the use of our theme song, "Selling Out".

    • Ep. 6 - Suicide Kings

      Ready to listen to a T4T trans woman contemplate whether or not she can say the F-slur? God it's so late when I'm editing these. Anyways, the kids are back, and this time Christopher Walken is there. This is probably the best thing we've seen so far, so you're in for a treat.

      Highlights include:

      • Johnny Galecki is so bad, man. Always.
      • A genuinely well-constructed plot.
      • Lots of slick style.
      • Fish boots? Fish boots.
      • Yeesh, they died for no reason. That's kinda sad.

      • Ep. 5 - Lifeforce

        In this episode, Nic and Mia still can't really get away from misogynistic films. I guess it's a good sign that all these misogynistic films failed, but it'd be nice to hear about a less gross film once in a while, yaknow? Anyways, still plenty of fun to be had, and in case you didn't notice, it's weekly episodes now!


        Things to look out for:

        • A genuine discussion of the sex scene discourse.
        • Things that are similar to other movies we like, but don't work here.
        • An extremely different movie from Tobe Hooper's other work
        • A pretty shameless rehashing from Dan O'Bannon, like cmon man, you're just re-using your work from Alien.
        • Horny movie, but in a bad way.

        • Ep. 4 - Phantoms

          Sorry for the delayed upload, travel plans got in the way.

          This week, Mia and Nic dive into Laurence of Arabia star Peter O'Toole's finest gift to cinema, Phantoms (1998), wherein he performs against acting genius Benjamin G. Affleck. Yes, it's true, and yes, it's fun. Why are you still reading this?

          Things to watch out for:

          • A big macho cowboy Ben Affleck!
          • A bunch of scientific explanations that don't actually explain anything at all.
          • Utterly wretched sound mixing (don't worry, I fixed it).
          • Surprisingly, zero phantoms.

          • Ep. 3 - Reminiscence

            This week, Nic and Mia delve into the bygone year of 2021, where Lisa Joy is releasing an extremely forgettable movie. Hugh Jackman stars as a mind reader! An honest-to-goodness mind reader, in a cyberpunk neo-noir flick no less! But no matter how hard he acts, it's still not cool. This episode is dedicated to the veterans of the Border Wars.


            Highlights include:

            • Explaining incels to Nic.
            • Hugh Jackman's Batman audition.
            • The women are written better!! (Note: the writing is still bad.)
            • A legitimately cool aesthetic.
            • A story that doesn't take advantage of it.
            • Dead eels.

            • Ep. 2 - Lady in Cement

              This week, Nic and Mia talk about the 1968 film Lady in Cement!

              This episode features:

              • Queer subtext.
              • More misogyny.
              • An inaccurate poster.
              • An antiquated murder.
              • Frank Sinatra
              • 11 shipwrecked Spanish galleons, stuffed full of gold doubloons, ripe for the taking!

              • Ep. 1 - Cherry 2000
                On the debut episode, Nic and Mia talk about the 1988 film Cherry 2000. 

                This episode features: 
                • An awful protagonist. 
                • A wonderful antagonist. 
                • Gynoids. 
                • Melanie Griffith, for some reason.

              About Is it Good?

              From the publisher's feed

              Is it Good? - An exercise in kicking movies while they're down! Each episode, Nic and Mia pick a box office bomb/critical failure, to watch, mock, and see if there are any redeeming qualities.…
