The 10 Worst Films of 2016

Posted on December 30, 2016



BY KEVIN CARR

If you read my previous post about how 2016 wasn’t as bad as you thought it was… well, this is the post that will make the counter-argument. Of course, any year is filled with truly awful and terrible movies. While making any movie takes a huge effort, it seems to be easier for Hollywood to crank out bad movies. Still, I had to go see all of these movies so you don’t have to.

It’s not that 2016 had any more bad movies, but there was something unique about this year. The big reason is if you look at the end of the list, you’ll see some very competently made movies. However, it’s these movie’s cores that are rotten, and that’s the heart and soul of a film. Sure, throw a lot of money at a movie, and you could still end up with a pile of stank.

Anyway… on with the stank from 2016!…

Episode 242 – Surprisingly Relevant and Respectful

Posted on December 8, 2011

This Week: Kevin invites Devindra Hardawar from Slashfilmcast into the Magical Studio in the Sky. In a strange twist of events, the conversation goes first into a discussion of technology, then into a uncharacteristically relevant and respectful talk about the movies of the week. Kevin and Devindra chat about the odd paths of David Gordon Green’s career with The Sitter and roll their eyes at New Year’s Eve. Then they lament Kevin not loving Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy before moving into the infamous (and unnaturally clean) middle segment to talk box office and answer a Facebook question. After laying out a Fat Guy Five, Kevin and Devindra rattle through the DVD Rundown and send the audience on its way into the great beyond.
