Is a bad movie... really THAT bad?
Each episode, our hosts discuss a film considered by the broader public or themselves to be a Bad Movie and what makes it Bad (casting, writing, production, etc), then attempt to watch said movie from as blank a slate as possible (clear mind, no expectations, etc). Afterwards, they'll discuss their experience and if it changed their perception to the film. From childhood favorites and cult classics to Hollywood productions and the lowest of the low, join the crew on a journey to keep their sanity!

Just a quick note before we get into it: I sincerely apologize for the delay between episodes. I'd caught pneumonia shortly after recording this two-parter, which took me down hard. I'm still battling the effects of it, which has resulted in a persistent, nagging cough. That, combined with a new day job, delayed editing, release, and recording new episodes. So, in essence, this and the next release will be considered our season one finale. New episodes will hopefully be recorded in a few weeks, once my health is back to normal(ish), or I at least kick this cough. With that out of the way, on with the show!
===============
Ahoy there, landlubbers! In today's episode, Daniel, Panda, and Cardane find themselves in the sleepy coastal town of Sweethaven, where sedately wacky antics ensue as Robin Williams takes to the big screen in his feature film debut as Popeye, the Sailor Man!
Join us as we discuss cartoons, musicals, spinach, and much more as we discuss the 1980 live action cartoon, "POPEYE!"
