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, in honor of the holiday season and the release of Eli Roth's "Thanksgiving," Ryan and Chris dive into three Thanksgiving-set slashers. We start with 1987's (though filmed in 1983) "Blood Rage," an all-killer, no-filler Florida-set slasher that is light on plot but heavy on carnage. Then, we move into 2019's "Pilgrim," which was a part of Hulu and Blumhouse's "Into the Dark" series. Somewhere in it is a cool premise, but it's too hampered but illogical plot decisions (even for this kind of movie) and cheap production values to enjoy even in the slightest. Finally, we move into 1981's "Home Sweet Home" in which "Bodies by Jake" stars as a PCP-addicted psychopath and a guy with facepaint and an electric guitar annoys everyone in his neighborhood. It's not good, but it's weird, and in this subgenre, that goes a long ways.

This week, Ryan and Chris dive into the niche comedy category of "Saturday Night Live" sketch adaptations! We start with 2010's "MacGruber," which has fortunately got its flowers in the last thirteen years (including a sequel series on Peacock) because every moment of this absurdist action-comedy is gold. Then, we move into the antithesis of comedy gold (though at least within our limited perspective as cisgender males, not quite as problematic as we anticipated) with 1994's "It's Pat: The Movie." Its biggest crime is that it is antagonistically unfunny. Finally, we move into a weird one with 1995's "Stuart Saves His Family," a film that is not particularly funny, but is actually kind-of good, strangely somber, and directed by none other than Harold Ramis.

This week, to get back on track after a life-changing event and a vacation, respectively, Ryan and Chris discuss a wide spectrum of 2023 Horror Movie offerings, discuss the state of the genre at large. We talk at-length about a few we've both seen, including "Talk to Me" (Spoilers from 11:40-23:00), "Five Nights at Freddy's," "No One Will Save You" (Spoilers from 55:53-1:05:10), "Totally Killer," and "V/H/S/85." We also squeeze in some brief thoughts on "The Nun II," "Saw X," "The Exorcist: Believer," "Pet Sematary: Bloodlines," "The Boogeyman," "When Evil Lurks," and "Suitable Flesh."

This week, Chris and Ryan dive into three films all centered around trips to haunted houses that turn deadly! First, we start with 2019's small-scale gem "Haunt," a taught, nasty slasher that does this concept exceedingly well. Then, we move into 2018's "Hell Fest," which has an amazing setting for a slasher (think Universal Horror Nights), terrific production and set design... and they don't do anything with it. Finally, we go back to 1981 for Tobe Hooper's "The Funhouse," a surprisingly downbeat slasher given the location, though perhaps not for Hooper, which the film plays out like "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre" at a carnival (and is supposedly the film that landed him the gig directing 1982's "Poltergeist").

This week, in lieu of a normal episode (though this week it's a twofer as we were late. Sorry!), Ryan and Chris have decided to bring their most recent Patreon episode from behind the paywall to make up for the lack of new main feed content. With Chris on vacation and Ryan having welcomed a new life into the world, we've been a bit busy. This is our episode about all six of George A. Romero's "Dead" films, and if you like what you hear, kick us some pocket change at Patreon.com/thegoodbadwhat. Only $1 to subscribe, and you get an episode like this every other week.

This week, Ryan and Chris discuss three grisly, horror-tinged procedurals that all mine their influence (some more shameless than others) from the success of David Fincher's 1995 iconic "Se7en." We start with "Saw" from 2004, since the franchise is back in the conversation with the release of the (surprisingly well-received) tenth entry last month, and talk about how the film managed to be a trendsetter in its own right, for better or worse. Then, we move into 2009's bonkers "Law Abiding Citizen," which certainly apes "Se7en" (as well as "Death Wish," "The Dark Knight," and many others), but does its own thing in regards to the social commentary regarding the justice system (even if you don't buy a cent of it). Finally, we move into the most egregious - and hilariously entertaining - "Se7en" clone with 1999's shot-in-Canada "Resurrection," which sees Christopher Lambert in the Sommerset role, and it goes about as well as you can imagine.

This week, Chris and Ryan dive into three films in a niche subgenre of horror (or horror-adjacent) films in which a soldier returns home, though are not who they claim they are. We start with Adam Wingard's contemporary cult-classic "The Guest" from 2014, a film that both wears its genre pastiche on its sleeve and elevates it above being a string of references with an assured tone, excellent performances, a banger soundtrack, and a palpable sense of loss. Then, we move into a bonkers VHS oddity from 1992 with "The Divine Enforcer," a incredibad experience in which the two top-billed actors (Erik Estrada and Jan-Michael Vincent) never get up from their chairs. Finally, we move into Bob Clark's second feature with 1974's "Deathdream" aka "Dead of Night," that at times feels like a Made for TV drama, but a damn good, eerie one.

This week, Ryan and Chris dive into three high-profile critical and commercial disasters (at the time of their respective releases) by notable filmmakers that have gone on to garner critical re-appraisal in the last decade or more. We start with 1995's "Showgirls," Paul Verhoeven's great American showbiz satire that garnered notoriety upon its release for being the first wide release NC-17 film. It was not perceived as the masterpiece it is at the time, but in the years since, viewers have quickly caught on. Then, we move into 2006's "Southland Tales," Richard Kelly's anticipated-at-the-time follow-up to "Donnie Darko." The film is packed with ideas and is rightfully angry at the sociopolitical climate circa 2006 (and has become somewhat prophetic), but none of them cohere in a satisfying way (at least to us, but it's got its fans). Finally, we move into David Lynch's 1984 adaptation of "Dune," a film that Lynch has disowned entirely but has a ton of merit, most specifically the rockin' Toto score, the Carlo Rambaldi effects, beautiful big sets and locales, and some of that Lynchian trademark absurdism that wasn't sanded off entirely.

This week, Chris and Ryan dive into three films that feature two franchises with storied histories coming together for an all-out brawl. We start with 2003's "Freddy vs. Jason" for its 20th Anniversary. Both of us our big fans of each respective franchise, so we examine the long, hard road that led to this film and if it was worth the effort. Then, we move into 2004's "AVP: Alien vs. Predator," a film that is not as bad as you remember but still not successful, specifically in regards to the titular fight. Finally, we go all the way back to 1962 to discuss "King Kong vs. Godzilla," a total oddball in both of those series, yet holds a ton of charm.

This week, Ryan and Chris celebrate their 100th full GBW episode with three films centered around the U.S. Bicentennial of 1976. Same as it ever was, our country is facing tumultuous times, and we look at our past to find out how we've gotten here and where we're headed. We start with Robert Altman's 1975 masterpiece "Nashville," the intersection between celebrity and politics (also ever-prescient), and the nonstop hilarity and sadness in one of the greatest American films ever made. Then, it just so happens for our 100th that we have an "Oops, All Bangers" episode as disaster movie spoof "The Big Bus" from 1976 - while scattershot - turned out to be a ton of fun. Finally, also from 1976, we sing our praises about the sh*tkicker brawler that is surprisingly thoughtful, "Vigilante Force."
