I am a big fan of "bad movie" shows. MST3K, Flop House, WHM, HDTGM, etc., but a few years ago I thought, "why not do the opposite? do a podcast praising hated, bad, or underappreciated movies." so I did.

the guest *always* likes the movie, and I provide historical context for the negativity. 😉

weinberg @weinberg.social · 1d

Wow. Interesting. Makes the budget even more ridiculous.

thanks. I know nothing about filmmaking.

MJS @themovievampire.bsky.social · 1d

The Rock and Emily Blunt's paychecks, full makeup team, recreating Japanese MMA arenas, expensive needledrops, it all adds up. By Hollywood standards that actually isn't that high a budget.
