The 10 Worst Films of 2016

Posted on



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!…

This Week: Kevin gears up for Halloween with the first weekend of October (even though it starts in September) with a review of the new horror flick Clowntown, set to the dulcet tune of Petula Clark’s “Downtown.” He also sounds off about the upcoming Lion King remake before reviewing the other new films: Deepwater Horizon, Masterminds, Queen of Katwe and Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. Finally, he rounds out the show with some home cinema recommendations as well as a contest for people to win a DVD of Dinesh D’Souza’s film Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Demoncratic Party.

Episode 318 – Stripper Pole

Posted on

This Week: Kevin traumatizes Kristin with his heroic victory dance again and demands new equipment for the Magical Studio in the Sky. He then twists the knife by yammering on more about Star Trek and J.J. Abrams. Finally, they move on to the movies, but Kristin can’t catch a break because she had to suffer through both Fast & Furious 6 and The Hangover: Part III. Sigh… if only they had screened Epic. After reviewing some films, Kevin and Kristin answer a listener email and then talk about the large but mediocre selection of DVDs this week.
