Video Negative Podcast

We're lacing up our newest pair of Air Jordans and dunking on a film we really ought to have done a long time, it's 1996's Space Jam!

We discuss director Joe Pytka's Wikipedia page and how he doesn't want people thinking he made this film, the flagrant-rule breaking that occurs during the big game (including people getting shot), the film's obviously padded out runtime, and how absolutely no one is surprised by the appearance of some of the world's most iconic cartoon characters.

Also Dan gets confused by Muggsy Bogues, and reveals an absolute stinker of a film for the next episode!

On this installment, we're taking down the ultra-meta,

kiddie-film-action-parody mess Last Action Hero! We get into the film's

interminably slow pacing, its incongruous references to cop-killing, drug

dealers and premature ejaculation, the complete waste of its central concept,

and delve into the infamous bomb's troubled production, included a phantom test

screening which may or may not have actually happened.

Also, we discuss how much better this film would be if it was just Charles Dance correcting everyone's grammar as well as his attempt to assemble a squad of famous movie villains; a late-in-the-film conceit that's woefully mishandled by the movie.

After a long hiatus, we're back with the film you voted for

as the worst of 2017, it's the Candy-Crushingly dull, glorified app advert The

Emoji Movie!

We're running through the intelligence insulting plot, the

fact that every beat of the film is explained ad nauseam, crass consumerism and

the film's near-obsession with weirdly out of date references to 2006. Expect a

total character assassination of TJ Miller while we're at it too!

We're wrapping up 2017 with the mercilessly depressing

"kids' film" and decidedly un-Christmas-y Christmas film, it's 1998's

Jack Frost. We're talking terrible parenting out the wazoo, the likely

shelf-life of Michael Keaton's Christmas-themed band, dispatches from Henry

Rollins' spoken word and the film's complete and utter lack of a second act.

Sequel Season draws to a close with a film considered to be

one of the worst of all time, it's 1991's Highlander 2: The Quickening! We're

talking its tenuous grasp on the concept of immortality, 16th century television

screens and some of the most unbelievably sloppy filmmaking we've seen.

Also, Sean Connery gets stuck at an airport, and we

investigate #TeamHighlander2 as part of a fanboy's IMDB review.

PLUS: It's that time of the year again, we're opening the

Sequel Season is on hold, we're getting in the mood for All

Hallow's Eve with our fan-voted Halloween special, it's 1997's Anaconda!

We're talking Jon Voight's horrific accent and red t-shirt,

the lack of actual horror in this so-called horror film, Owen Wilson's

'wow'-heavy performance, god-awful CGI and - somebody call the fun police - we

read out possibly the most humourless IMDB review ever.

Plenty of snake-charming and career-harming in this one,

settle down and get spooky in time for the 31st!

Jan De Bont's attempt to rock the boat has made us seasick; we're

getting to grips with part two of Sequel Season, it's 1997's slow-as-molasses

misfire Speed 2: Cruise Control!

We're talking Sandra Bullock's lobotomy between this and

Speed 1, whether Willem Dafoe makes a good bad guy, the grindingly slow

"action" on screen, and UB40's guest appearance as the whole films

runs aground with unlikeable characters, dull set-pieces and more VNP Hall of

Famers you can shake a stick at.

Think worse things have happened at sea? You owe it to

yourself to hear us talk through this sequel snoozer. 

Reeking of development hell, Sequel Season finally arrives a

whole two months after being announced, and what a doozy we're beginning with,

it's 1991's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret of the Ooze!

We get confused and confounded over which Turtle is which, and

talk the film's utterly useless antagonists, Splinter's horny side, endless

plot points that go nowhere and the glorious return of Vid Neg alum Vanilla Ice

and his on-the-spot improv skills with a line-by-line reading of the majesty

that is the Ninja Rap!

Also, pro wrestler Kevin Nash's star turn as Super Shredder

gets a look in and we reveal the next film as part of the season, one with a

whopping 3% on Rotten Tomatoes! Tune in to find out what it is!

The second of this summer's bonus episodes sees Oliver join

forces with podcast chums One Good Thing to take on the flash-backing,

back-tracking madness of 2006's infamous The Wicker Man!

Nic Cages makes an unwelcome return to the show as we interlock

the Director's and Theatrical cuts in an attempt to uncover the one good thing

about this crappy cult classic. We're talking the films' endlessly useless plot

points, complete dearth of terror or suspense, and the somewhat overstated (and

overrated) madness of Nic Cage (which makes up about 2% of this hellishly dull retread

of a remake).

Tim's on holiday, so Dan and Ol reconvene for this bonus episode to cover songs/music videos from a few films previously featured on the show. Inspired by our friends That Awful Sound, we're talking Aerosmith's I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing (Armageddon), Was Not Was's Walk the Dinosaur (Flintstones & Super Mario Bros) and last but by no means least Smash Mouth's All Star (Inspector Gadget)!

Featured within: Richie Sambora's risque facial hair, Was Not Was's hidden anti-nuclear war agenda and of course, the insane All Star renaissance and accompanying memedom surrounding Smash Mouth's most (in)famous song!
