Video Negative Podcast

We don't know what it is about Bruce Willis films that make

us choose to review them, but the Willie Man is back to bless us with his fifth

appearance on the show, it's the self-proclaimed "funniest

action-adventure comedy ever", 1991's Hudson Hawk.

Pegged as one the decade's worst, we're talking the film's

rampant stereotyping and xenophobia, an insanely overcooked and convoluted

plot, and perhaps the most ill-conceived rape joke ever.

Also: desperate attempts by ourselves to get a Seagram's

Wine Cooler sponsorship, and an ultimatum to never watch a Bruce Willis film on

this show again, and we reveal the first film in our brand new season of episodes!

A wild crappy film appears! With the summer film season in

full swing, we revisit the sophomore slump of 1999's Pokemon 2000(?)

We're talking the franchise's waning popularity, the film's

insistence on not naming its main villain, lousy dialogue rife with exposition

and its decision to not focus on Pikachu. Also: a noble yet pointless

comparison to Italian neo-realism, fanboy reviews out the wazoo and a familiar

face appears as our next film is revealed.

Big hate in this one. Don't miss it!

"Doo-doo-do-do-doo, shit-ty mo-vie". Cool As Ice

director David Kellogg returns to helm his second (and final) film as we

discuss the 1999 techno-turd hack job Inspector Gadget!

Clocking in at a stunningly short 68 minutes(!), we're

talking obvious edits, Robocop comparisons, the Six Dollar Man's ridiculously

invasive operation, and reveal what our own Go-Go gadgets would be and where

they'd protrude from.

Also, Dan waxes lyrical over his hatred of Jimmy Fallon, we

antagonise Smash Mouth via Twitter, and Tim reveals an absolute doozy of a film

for our next episode that features some returning...voice actors? Tune in to

find out what it is.

On Itunes, no one can hear you scream - we're talking one of

the '90s most infamously mistreated films, the "worst sequel in the

history of cinema" and Nine Inch Nails music video lookalike Alien 3!

Production woes out the wazoo, careless continuity errors,

and more baldy British blokes you can shake a stick at, we get to grips with

behind the scenes shenanigans, more terrible CGI-assisted falls into lava and

unlock the film's 90s equivalent of the Dark Side of the Moon/Wizard of Oz

phenomenon.

Also, Tim gets enraged at a listeners' spoilers and

perturbed by an episode of Ramsay's Hotel Hell, both of which ruined his

viewing of the film, and the next episode's reveal brings back a Vid Neg alumni

not seen since episode 6.

Chest-bursting with controversial opinions and

unprofessionalism, check it out and leave us a review wherever you listen!

We're rolling into Bedrock for 1994's lacklustre live action

romp, The Flintstones! The Vid Neg crew grapple with the gravel of this

narratively lightweight, slavish retread, digging up some hidden gems along the

way: stone-faced humour, director Brian Levant's hidden socialist agenda and

the Flintstone family's pun-based musical tastes!

Also, we're wrapping our heads around a kids film with

embezzlement subplots, lynchings, and antagonist suffocation along the way.

Plenty of rubble, rubble, toil and trouble in this one, YABBA DABBA DOn't miss

out!

Cage Against the Machine season comes to a close with its

final part - and our 50th episode - it's 1996's The Rock!

We're treating ourselves for this milestone ep by reviewing

something 2/3 of us actually like. Rest assured, things still get silly as

we're talking the sourness of those VX balls, debunking the theory that Sean

Connery's character is actually James Bond, more juicy 90s gay panic, and

plotting this season's films on the Nicolas Cage Matrix to see how his

craziness ranks up with the rest of his oeuvre.

Plenty of bang for your buck (it is Michael Bay after all),

be sure to tune and help us celebrate our 50th in style.

To commemorate the release of this year's Power Rangers

Movie, we're taking a leak over your childhood memories, we're getting very,

very angry over Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie!

What's with the undeservingly grand title this film is

bestowed with? Why is EVERY. SINGLE. CHARACTER dumb as bricks? And what the

hell is the deal with that goddamn ghost galleon?

Also: We're talking Justin's Blue Ranger resume, the film's

obsession with characters falling from heights, its lack of understanding of

how heat works, and the slackest continuity we've ever seen on the show.

Cage Against the Machine season - a run through of some of Nic Cage's worst 90s films - continues with Joel Schumacher's snuff film snore-fest, it's 1999's 8MM.

How dull can a film about hardcore murder porn be? What's with the Bollywood score playing through this film and is Joaquin Phoenix really this generation's greatest actor?

Also: Tim and Dan get into it over whether this film is actually tense (it's not), an insight into Troy Duffy's casting methods and we learn from several IMDB reviews that the movie isn't meant for little kids.

We're kicking off our season of terrible 90s Nicolas Cage

films with one of his craziest (dare we say UNCAGED)

performances, it's 1993's con-caper-crapshoot Deadfall!

We're discussing your opinions on whether Nic Cage is

actually a good actor, the least erotic sex scene in film history, the obvious

"Tarantino quirks" of this post-Reservoir Dogs crime flick, THAT Sam

Peckinpah reference, as well as Cage's own meditations on his "unique"

acting style.

Forget Wicker Man, this is truly up there with the Cage

man's most mental performances, so don't be a GREASY LITTLE NEPHEW, make sure

you check this one out!

The podcast that loves to hate is back for their first ever

Valentine's special, we're reviewing 1999's rom-com-prom-job She's All That!

We're talking taking off your glasses in the quest for

hotness, drunken university memories, DJ Usher's less than stellar academic records, M. Night Shyamalan's topsy-turvy-twisty scripting, and just how much of

a gosh-darn nerd Laney Boggs really is.

Love's in the air in this one, don't miss it!
