The Kulturecast

Chris and Sean kick off January, Bond January with the original Bond and the original Bond film: Dr. No. The film features Sean Connery as James Bond, a newly minted double-0 agent, who is tasked with determining why a high-ranking British official was murdered in Jamaica. Along the way he meets Honey Ryder (Ursula Andress), Felix Leiter (Jack Lord), and the eponymous Dr. No (Joseph Wiseman). It's the first film in the massive franchise and it's a solid start with one of the best portrayals of Bonds.

Chris and Sean finish out So Bad They're Still Bad month with a true powerhouse in the pantheon of bad films: The Room. The film stars Tommy Wiseau as Tommy, a strange man who is engaged to his future wife Lisa. Their lives are turned upside down when Lisa decides to pursue Tommy's best friend Mark (Greg Sestero) and everything begins to fall apart in hilarious fashion. Along with talking about the "film" if you can call it that, we also talk to composer for the film Mladen Milicevic about working on the film, with Tommy Wiseau, and what he is up to now.

Chris is joined by his good friend Candace Perez for the second to last film of So Bad They're Still Bad month: Toys. The film stars Robin Williams as Leslie Zevo, the son of a famed toy creator, who has to deal with his militaristic uncle taking over after his father passes. He fights back with humor, laughter, and wind-up toys, all the while doing his usual Williams schtick. It's a interesting movie that features an amphibious drone called the Sea Swine so there's that.

Chris and Sean are joined by co-writer of Freaked Tim Burns for the second Kulturecast of So Bad They're Still Bad month‘s Christmas movie week: Jingle All The Way 2. This mistake of a film features Larry the Cable Guy in the role last taken up by Arnold Schwarzenegger as the deadbeat dad just looking to get his kid that special toy for Christmas. It's as derivative, unfunny, and unnecessary at it gets as only WWE Studios can do.

Chris and Sean are joined by author Russ Linton for the first Kulturecast of So Bad They're Still Bad month‘s Christmas movie week: Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2. The film follows Ricky, played by Eric Freeman, as he tells his story about he became a mass murderer.

We take a break from So Bad They're Still Bad month to talk about the most anticipated film of the year: Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The film picks up thirty years after the end of Return of the Jedi and follows Rey (Daisy Ridley) and Finn (John Boyega) as they try to return a lost robot to its master. Along the way they meet new and old faces alike. It's a return to form for the series and a masterstroke by auteur JJ Abrams.

Chris is joined by metal band Wovoka for another Kulturecast for So Bad They're Still Bad month: Poultrygeist. The film follows Arbie, played by Jason Yachanin, as he tries to win back the love of his life Wendy all the while fighting off a horde of undead chicken-human hybrid zombies. It's Troma at its finest. We also speak with Jason about his time on the film, what it was like to work with Lloyd Kaufman, and what he's up to now.

Chris and Sean are joined by director Matt Campagna for a special bonus Kulturecast for So Bad They're Still Bad month: Green Lantern. The film stars a miscast Ryan Reynolds as the CGI-suited hero as he takes on Peter Sarsgaard as a giant floating space turd known as Parallax. It was the start of DC's Cinematic Universe, emphasis on was, and one of the worst comic book movies ever made.

Chris and Sean are joined by guest Zach Nowack for another film that could only be justifiably watched during So Bad They're Still Bad month: The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure. The film follows three technicolor miscreants as they attempt to find retrieve lost balloons for their drooling anthropomorphic towel friend's birthday. Along the way they come across the most desperate actors in Hollywood just looking for a buck, including Chris Lloyd and Carey Elwes.

Chris is joined by senior writer Marc Hall to talk about a bonus film for So Bad They're Still Bad month: Bloodsucking Freaks. The film follows Sardu, a theater master who operates the Theater of Macabre. Unbeknownst to the audience, Sardu and his pint-sized assistant Ralphus are actually kidnapping women from around New York and actually murdering them in front of the captivated audience. The two spend the entirety of the film planning their master stroke, throwing darts as women's exposed butts, and eating eyeballs. It's a sight to behold.
