What's up cinephiles,
I'm Evasive,
and this piece of paper right here
means two things:
Number one, I am tens of
thousands of
dollars in debt,
and number two, I know a lot
about movies.
and since the U.S government
isn't giving me any debt relief this year,
I have no choice now but to
torture myself on the Internet
for money to pay off the loans
I took out to go to film school.
So for this video, I watched every
movie that's ever won
a Razzie Award for Worst Picture
of the Year.
This was an extremely painful
experience
and I regretted my decision
immediately,
but for the sake of
my adoring fans
and my bank account,
I went ahead and watched
all 46 of these
movies so I could
explain them to you.
But after the grueling experience
of watching all these movies,
I'm not about to tackle this
breakdown alone.
So I went ahead and roped in
another video essay girly
and a talking trash can
to help explain some of these
movies for me.
But before I get to the movies,
let me explain what the Razzies are.
The Golden Raspberry Awards are
an annual event,
usually held the night before the Oscars,
to give out awards for the worst
movies of the year.
It was founded by Hollywood
copywriter
John Wilson and editor Maureen
Murphy.
The idea for the Razzies came
about in 1980
when Wilson saw Can't Stop
the Music and Xanadu, back to back
and hated them both so much, he thought
there ought to be an award show
for this type of thing.
Months later, Wilson hosted an
Oscars watch party at his house,
and after the Oscars had finished,
he and Murphy passed out ballots
to everyone at the party
to vote on the worst movies of the year,
and then he announced the
winners in his living room.
Over time, the ceremony
grew and grew,
and today they're considered a staple
of the Hollywood award season
as a low-budget Bizarro World
Oscars
that distributes awards in
categories
such as Worst Actor, Worst Director,
and Worst Screenplay.
Unlike the qualifications for voting
at the Oscars though,
becoming a Razzie voter
is very easy:
either be friends with
one of the producers
or just pay a $40 membership fee.
That's all it takes.
So that's the story of the Razzies.
Now are you ready to learn about
every single movie
that won Worst Picture?
Because I wasn't.
There's 46 of these things, so I'm
going to talk about each one
for just a minute or two
and hand off a few to my guests
so I don't completely lose my mind here.
Also, I put a content warning on a
bunch of these movies
because of the sensitive subject
matter I discuss.
Not trying to traumatize anybody
but myself in this video.
Well, me and my guests.
But I commissioned them for this,
so it-it's fine.
"Anybody who swallows two snowballs
and a ding-dong shouldn't"
"have trouble with pride."
The first movie to win Worst Picture was
Can't Stop The Music,
A movie about the "origins"
of the disco group Village People.
And I say origins in air-quotes because
the Village People play themselves
and the plot is completely made-up
and not at all how the Village People
actually formed
The movie itself is super campy
and full of these crazy musical numbers
that are unironically kinda great.
It's just too bad that in between
those musical numbers are these scenes
with really terrible acting
that go on for way too long.
[movie] -Wait a minute! I am not taking one
-more step 'til I know where I'm going.
-Yeah, quit my job, and you
-got me walking the beat again!
- I'm not even getting paid for it!
- Hold your horses.
-I told you I had a surprise for you.
-I hope so. I turned in my
-coin change with the toll booth.
its not that awful of a movie, but by 1980
the disco fad was pretty much over and
people loved to hate on
disco music at the time
so you can see why this
ended up being such a huge bomb.
Also, shockingly, this movie marks the
first film appearance of Caitlyn Jenner
and apparently the experience was so bad
she didn't appear in a movie again until
Jack & Jill in 2011.
And, uh, well.
Mommie Dearest is a "biopic"
about the life of actress Joan Crawford's
adopted daughter Christina.
and again, I say biopic in air-quotes
because the movie was based on
Christina Crawford's controversial memoir
that other members of Joan Crawford's
family disavowed when it came out.
I haven't done much research on the topic
so I'm in no position
to question this story.
But I will say that after
the movie was made
Christina said the film was grotesque
and not true to her memoir.
Released just 4 years after
Joan Crawford passed away,
this movie basically spits all over
her fresh grave
and portrays her as a horrible mother
who frequently, physically and emotionally
abused her daughter.
now whether or not this is actually true
is still a matter for debate of course.
Regardless of the real-life circumstances
behind the movie,
Faye Dunway's performance
of Joan Crawford is iconic now.
People who have unfortunately experienced
emotional abuse from a parent
found her performance
scarily true to their own life experiences
but general audiences thought
she was just being
outrageously campy and
over the top the whole movie.
Because of its reputation
the film accidentally
became a queer cult classic over the years
especially in the drag community.
and it was even featured in the most
recent season of RuPaul's Drag Race.
"No wire hangers!"
♫ No more wire hangers ♫
♫ Ah, ah! ♫
♫ No, no, wire hangers ♫
♫ No, no, no, no ♫
[Evasive] Inchon is a movie about
the battle of Incheon in the Korean War.
It was financed and produced
by the Unification Church,
a movement that was and still is
considered a dangerous cult
with a leader who called himself
the second coming of Jesus Christ.
The film's producer was
a very wealthy member of the church.
who said he was instructed by God
to make the film.
So, unsurprisingly, no investors wanted
any part of this.
and all 46 million dollars of the budget ended up
being provided by the church and its followers.
The film itself doesn't really have much
to do with the Unification Church.
It's a straightforward war movie that's
just boring and unremarkable.
It had some star power but only because
the actors in it were paid a lot of money.
with Laurence Olivier even admitting
before the movie was released
that he was only in it for the money.
It was such a flop that nobody even
bothered to release it on home media.
and the only available version
of the movie today
is from an old VHS rip from when it
played on Unification Church TV channel.
The only thing worth seeing in this movie
is Laurence Olivier's makeup job.
I mean he looks like the Joker.
This movie is just tasteless.
it's based on a novel by Harold Robbins
who was paid 600 000 dollars
for the film rights,
and apparently fell asleep
in the screening room,
and never actually watched the movie.
First of all, in the first 15 minutes,
young Ray Liotta,
in his first ever movie role,
sexually assaults the main character
with a garden hose.
and then after that the rest of the movie
is just her being forced to have sex
with gross older men
in order to get ahead in Hollywood.
And you see all of it.
It seems like it was trying to criticize
sexism in Hollywood
but instead of handling it with
any kind of nuance or respect
the movie fully shows the sex scenes
and does the very thing
it's trying to critique.
The final scene in the movie shows
her winning an Oscar for Best Screenplay
and calling out the men
who took advantage of her
in her acceptance speech.
and then she's booed off stage, and leaves,
and the movie just ends there.
It's really uncomfortable to watch.
But somehow the next movie is even worse.
Ugh, god, ok. soo..
Bolero is a movie by John Derek.
John Derek is—
(groan)
John Derek was an old Hollywood actor
who appeared in supporting roles in
several big movies in the 1940s and 50s.
In 1973 when Derek was 47 years old,
he traveled to Europe to direct
a low-budget movie called
"Once upon a Love" starring
a 16 year old girl named
"Mary Cathleen Collins".
During the production—
(retching)
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry
During the production,
John Derek left his wife
and groomed Mary Collins
into a sexual relationship,
With the two staying in Europe
until she turned 18
so he could avoid
statutory rape charges.
When they got married a few years later,
she changed her name to Bo Derek
and proceeded to star in all of his movies
until he died in 1998.
(retching)
(vomit squelching)
I'm sorry.
So anyway, Bolero was a movie
about a young woman fresh from college
who travels to Morocco in Spain
to lose her virginity.
and If that wasn't bad enough,
this movie features a full-frontal
nudity scene with a 14 year old girl.
Not an actress playing a 14 year old girl.
An actual 14 year old girl.
(retching, vomit squelching)
(coughing)
If you've never seen any
Rambo movies before
the image you probably associate
with the word "Rambo"
is the one where
hypermasculine Sylvester Stallone
is firing a machine gun
without a shirt on.
But see, that's actually from this movie,
"Rambo First Blood: Part II",
which has very little to do
with Part 1 at all.
The whole point of
the first Rambo movie is that
Rambo was a Vietnam War veteran
with severe PTSD
who snaps and kills a bunch of
small-town cops who treat him like shit.
This sequel, on the other hand
throws that tragic anti-war character
out the window
as the US government sends him
back to Vietnam
to locate prisoners of war
and Rambo is just like weirdly ok with that.
It's like he immediately got over his PTSD
and just got straight to blowing stuff up,
no problem.
This movie was
a massive box office success
and made double of what
the first movie made,
so naturally, Rambo III also ditched
the anti-war angle
and sent Rambo to Afghanistan.
I dunno as someone who thought
the first movie was amazing,
it really sucks to see how quickly
they ruined this character.
But, like, I get it.
The people who went to go see
these sequels in theaters
didn't watch it for the plot.
They watched to see
Sylvester Stallone do this.
(bow twang)
(explosion)
In the early 80s,
Prince was a rising star.
And his stardom was cemented in 1984
with the massive hit that was Purple Rain.
so after the success of Purple Rain,
Warner Bros. told Prince he was basically allowed to
do whatever he wanted for his next project
greenlighting Under the Cherry Moon
without even reading the script
the story is, Prince plays a guy in
the French Rivier named Christopher
He and his friend (tricky) try to
scam a rich girl out of her inheritance
but they both end up
falling in love with her.
problems with the movie became apparent early on
when Prince hired someone with
no experience to write the script.
Then 16 days into filming,
the director quit.
And Prince took over even though he had
no experience directing a movie before.
The end result was a movie that features
what I can only describe as
sarcastically says Acting.
Don't try anything funny.
Not this time, Christopher.
I want the money or I throw
you both out onto the street.
(gasp)
That's right, [inaudible]
Throw me on the the street?
It's bizarre, it's one of
those movies where
the acting is so bad
it loops around to being funny
which has given it
a bit of a cult following over the years
that and the soundtrack is amazing
like with Purple Rain
Prince released an album with the movie
that went Platinum
and is today remembered as
one of his most iconic albums of his career
After Under the Cherry Moon failed,
Prince tried one more time
to direct a feature-length movie
but that one got nominated
for a bunch of Razzies too
and after that he gave up and
never tried to direct a movie again.
Also this here marks
the first ever tie in Razzies history
with Under the Cherry Moon tieing with
(laughing)
Howard the Duck.
(Evasive laughing)
Greetings, Evasive viewers,
it is I, young Junko, expert in Bird Law
and I'm here to defend
my client Howard T. Duck,
star of the Razzies' Worst Film of 1986,
Howard The Duck
For nearly the last 40 years
my client's reputation has been
tarnished and slandered against
by quack punch, chicken shit critics
for this tragic box office bomb.
"Central character, the Duck, the one
that we're gonna be rooting for,
he's neither funny, or bit of funny."
But I'm here to clear the air.
Howard the Duck is not a movie,
no, it's a duckumentary.
I know this because I was there.
We all were.
My entire clan witnessed
my client crash land on Earth
to star in a motion picture
that of which has been
Um.
it's still awful. It's bad.
We're not winning this case, buddy.
I wasn't trying anything. Honest!
This is a strange movie to say the least.
Howard the Duck notoriously opens
with 2 instances of
full frontal duck booba
in the span of 30 seconds.
But the rest of the movie is this whiplash
between what's a squeaky clean
full house type family movie
that no one older than the age of
3 years old would find funny
followed by things like
Marty McFly's mom showing off her ass and
pulling out a condom for Howard's corkscrew.
Howard…
It's like anti-matter Shrek where
they didn't know
how to mix adult humor
and a kids' flick properly yet
so it becomes this overly long
bland comedy
with hardly any intentional laughs
that just happens to throw in something
totally obscene every now and then
- [Howard] Oh!
- I just can't resist your
intense animal magnetism.
uhh there's a lot of uhh attempts at duck puns,
most are just replacing
a random phrase in a word with "duck"
"That's it. No more Mr. Nice Duck."
Even the director's name is Willard Hyuck.
That's a duck name.
That's a name you give a duck.
The first half of the movie has Howard
pointlessly meandering
there's no funny interactions or
observations or memorable bits
it's just an aimless movie
with the guy in the duck suit.
You have an entire portion of the movie
where Howard has a job
as a towel boy in like a sex club
it's fun for the whole family!
Yeah, Breeders, what the hell.
Bareback bestiality and pedophilia.
Oh yeah, we find Howard getting launched to earth
as a result of a quack mace incident.
which also leads to Palpatine
somehow returning from the dead
and possessing the body of that one actor
that's in every 80s movie
who would later go on to be
arrested for being a sex pervert.
What do you think he would like to eat?
I no longer need human food.
[Junko] I need little boy butts.
You have a movie where
a talking duck fires a giant laser
at a hell portal to stop
a horde of alien warlords
from taking over the Earth
and they still manage
to make it a total snooze fest
They try to give Howard a bit of edge
but he still feels
too kiddy and sanitized
for what they're going for
And part of that is also his design.
He looks like a cross
of a Furby and MacCulkin.
There were some things I did like,
like these alien overlords are pretty cool
their design and the stop motion
is really well done.
and the sequence where
Howard gets shot into space
is pretty neat, pretty
impressive to look at.
I like this sequence where Howard
and Andy Dufresne get a 6 star wanted level
and start flying away from all the cops
that was good.
Yeah, Tim Robins is in this
Imagine having what's considered
one of the best movies of all time
as part of your portfolio
and on the other end of the
spectrum, Howard the Duck,
now that's range
Genuinely I was taken aback
because some of the shots in this movie
undeniably do go hard. I feel like
There's a version of this movie that
could've actually been good with less work
like if they leaned into Howard being this
cynical, perverted wise-quacking duck
that's down on his luck,
who gets thrust into Earth
and finds this strange new realm
actually isn't so much different from his own.
and then it's all about the bills,
baby, put it on my belt
He could take it as an
opportunity for a fresh start,
slowly climbing his way up the corporate ladder
until becoming a national celebrity
that gets caught up in 80s
consumerism and greed
and then maybe having him begrudgingly
involved in weird sci-fi fantasy stuff
like the comics, I dunno.
I'm not sure how to defend my client.
Give him the chair.
(Howard screams)
(Evasive laughing)
Alright, I may not have been
able to defend Howard,
but know this: from this day forth,
I will ensure every client of mine
is proven innocent.
Now for my next client,
I will be defending one Bill Cos-.
Bill Co-Bill Cosby.
Bill Co-Bill Cosby.
I-I'm good. Your Honor? i with-I withdrawal.
I withdrawal your honor. I'm good. We're done here. We're done.
It's Leonard, part 6.
Ask anyone who's seen
this movie, they'll tell you
that's when they first knew
lil' Bill was a real piece of shit
I got to say when I first heard there was a
comedy movie that just started on part 6
I thought hey, that's kind funny, maybe this movie
could be bad in a good way, at the very least
Nope, it's just bad,
it's boring, it's so boring.
If there's one thing Cosby
was always a master at
it's making people very sleepy.
The whole thing is supposed to be
a spoof on the spy genre, sort of like
like Naked Gun, except it actually
came out a year before that movie
They really just had the cameras rolling
and had Bill Cosby do whatever he wanted
There's a bunch of weird sex shit
I mean the clues are all there,
in the movie his wife divorced him
because he slept with a 19 year old
and his daughter is dating a much older man
to further her career as an actress
so then Leonard has to see her
flash her tits on stage
for no reason, none of these scenes
add anything to the movie
I think Cosby just wanted to
look at some young girl tits
The whole film has this weird
lethargic and slow energy to it
Everything from the dialogue
to the editing,
it's like watching a movie at 0.5 speed.
The movie opens with
Leonard and an assassin
having a shootout in a kitchen
The joke is that what they're doing
is actually helping prep some of the food
Ok, could be funny but the pace of it all
is so bizarrely off by a step
Every gag and bit is like this,
like they took something that was
maybe a 3 out of 10 joke at best
and spread it so thin that
you-you ask yourself,
Was there even
a joke at all to begin with?
The plot follows Leonard
being the best agent in the world
who's long been retired, until being
pulled back for one last mission
after a buncha animals under
mind control start killing people
yet again a god-awful 80s comedy starts
off with an animal looking at a porno mag.
Here's you two fucking nickels.
The first half is him just
stumbling around
trying to get back with his ex wife
who pours soup on him—
wh-what is this gag?
Is this a fetish, Mr. Cosby?
You think this was genuinely funny?
[mocking] We'll have him pour soup.
Cosby doesn't have a single
funny line or hook to his character
you can tell he's put
zero effort into any of this
It's almost like he said "Yeah I'll do the movie
but I don't wanna look too stupid,
don't make me look too stupid
most of these so-called jokes are what the most
boring uptight person in the world
would think being silly is.
[mocking] Oh, look, wow
he's being a ballerina, so girly.
Oh, wow, he's doing a silly fitness tape,
how can he subject himself to that.
oh, wee, you know what I mean?
it's like he thinks
these things are so beneath him
that just him doing it would be funny.
What a piece of shit.
y'know what really makes me mad, though?
It's completely unfair. Because everyone
else seems to be trying, but him.
there's a part In the end when Leonard
frees all the animals from captivity,
and I just wanna take this time to
recognize this bird right here.
Who in this 5 second shot, bends the bars
of his cage with his beak and breaks free
God bless this bird.
This bird right here put more effort
than Bill Cosby in his own movie.
This bird did not deserve to be
in one of the worst movies of all time.
None of these animals did.
This ostrich didn't deserve to be betrayed
with a sex criminal grinding
his pudding pop on its back.
if you think about it
If audiences in 1987 hated this,
watching it now,
with all the humor naturally diluted
even further through the passage of time
is like drinking a 40 year old
can of new coke
and when Bill's the one handing you the drink,
it's safe to say
you probably shouldn't drink it.
(gurgling)
Cocktail is a movie where young Tom Cruise
plays a bartender in Manhattan.
and then he movies to Jamaica
and falls in love with a girl.
but then he loses her and he moves back
to New York to win her back
and that's pretty much it.
What you see is what you get
with this one.
It's a really mediocre movie.
Not that good, but not that bad either.
Well except for this scene when
Tom Cruise stands on a bar
and reads his shitty poetry.
This is pretty cringey.
[tom cruise] I see America drinking
the fabulous cocktails I make.
crowd laughs
America's getting stinking
on something I stir or shake.
(laughing)
I make drinks so sweet and snazz-ay,
the iced tea, the kamikaze,
(hollering)
the sex on the beach
is Schnapps made from peach
the ball and hammer
the Alabama slammer!
Unsurprisingly with Tom Cruise starring,
this movie was a massive success,
earning a ridiculous 171 million dollars
on a 20 million dollar budget.
It's also the movie that the Beach Boys song
"Kokomo" song was written for.
Besides that, not much to talk about here.
I'm pretty sure it only won Worst Picture
because this was the same year
Rain Man was favored to win Best Picture.
and the voters must have thought it would be
funny to make the Best and Worst Picture
be Tom Cruise movies.
Ok, so, before making this video,
I hadn't watched any Star Trek at all.
But because I'm committed to my craft,
I went ahead and watched
all 6 of the original movies
just so I could understand why this one
is considered the worst.
and after all that, I—
Yeah. I get it now.
It's not a horrible movie but especially
compared to the previous films in the series,
Star Trek V is pretty bleh.
Pretty much everything went wrong
behind the scenes.
William Shatner directed it
with no prior directing experience.
Nobody could agree on anything
during the writing process,
There was a writers' strike.
Then a Teamsters strike.
They shot a lot of the movie
in the Mojave Desert,
which is just as miserable as it sounds.
and after filming was done, they only had
3 months to make the special effects,
and all the best effects technicians
in Hollywood were busy working on
Indiana Jones 3
and Ghostbusters II at the time.
Do I think this movie
deserved Worst Picture? No.
It does some wacky things like
introduce Spock's long-lost brother
that he never mentioned before
Or show Kirk getting mauled
by a cat woman.
but overall I really don't think it's that bad
Though to be honest
I'm not a Trekkie who had to see
Captain Kirk show up on the Enterprise
in a "Go climb a rock t-shirt"
So…
I mean…is that-is that bad?
I-I actually don't know.
Can someone in the comments tell me
if i'm, if that's like a bad,
if that's not in character?
I actually don't know if I
should be mad at this or not?
The Adventures of Ford Fairlane was a
"comedy" starring Andrew Dice Clay.
If you don't know who Andrew Dice Clay is,
he was a comedian most active
in the late 80s and early 90s
who was known for his character the Dice Man,
which was basically a cover for him to tell
the most offensive jokes he possibly could.
And they're always on parade.
They march up and down the street
with t-shirts and flags
'I want money for AIDS disease.'
Beautiful.
I want money for a new fucking car,
I ain't marching up and down the street
Get a job, butt slammer.
[Evasive] The movie itself
is about a detective, I guess,
I dunno, it's just not funny at all.
honestly I kept going to my phone the
whole time because I was just so bored.
- I got something serious to discuss.
Yeah, what is it, premature ejaculation?
(laughing)
like that time we were at her
parents' wedding anniversary,
and I told that joke,
'What's the definition of vagina?
The box the peanuts comes in!' (laugh)
Gilbert Godfrey plays
the only funny character in the movie
but he dies like 25 minutes in
and the rest is just a boring mess
that's impossible to follow.
The director Renny Harlin was also
working on Die Hard 2 at the time
which ended up coming out in theaters
at the exact same time as Ford Fairlane
and when you look at the money
comparison between the two movies.
Yeah, it's pretty obvious which movie
he cared about more.
Clint Eastwood.
I fucked him. Oh!
[Evasive] 1990 was another tie
with Ford Fairlane tieing
with another movie
from unapologetic
pepophile John Derek.
In this one, Bo Derek plays a woman
married to a much older man
and when the older man dies,
his ghost takes up residence in her head
and goads her into murdering a man
so he can possess his body
and have sex with her again.
It's a supernatural dirty old man movie
where John Derek fantasizes about
living rent-free in Bo Derek's head
after he dies.
Plus this ended up being his last movie.
It would be poetic
if it wasn't so disgusting.
Bo was very very young.
Linda was very young…
not as young as urcela
I guess I just meet them young,
before they're wise enough
to know I'm not the guy.
Anyway the acting is bad,
the story is bad,
the visuals are bad,
but the real cherry on top here is: this movie
was the first film appearance
of Donald Trump.
No joke, Trump's first movie
was made by a pedophile.
He even does a little duck face in it,
look at him.
Poetic.
Just watch this clip.
Woah!
Happy sailing..
Oh no! How am I driving?
1-800-I'm gonna-fucking-die!"
[Evasive] Bruce Willis plays
a master burglar fresh out of prison
who was blackmailed into stealing some art
but it's all part of a conspiracy
to build a secret machine
invented by Leonardo Da Vinci
that can turn lead into gold.
At this point in his career, Bruce Willis
was mainly known for Die Hard 1 and 2,
and was looking to branch out
with Hudson Hawk.
but apparently he couldn't decide
what he wanted it to be.
In an interview,
one of the writers later said:
I started to know we were in trouble
when Joel and Bruce
would say during filming
You know what this is?
This is a Pink Panther movie.
The next day they'd say
You know what this is? This is an
American James Bond movie.
Then it would be: you know what this is
This is North by Northwest.
I even remember someone saying:
You know what this is?
This is Casino Royale.
Eventually I realized, that if every day they
were saying it was something different
by the time we got to the editing room,
we were going to be in trouble.
So yeah, the final product
is all over the place.
But the movie has developed
a bit of a cult following over the years
just because it's so…so silly
(screaming)
- Honey?
- (screaming)
Ball ball?
Woof!
(dog screaming)
Here's another movie
that's really not that bad.
It's a World War II spy movie where
Melanie Griffith is a half Jewish woman
with no spy experience
who signs herself up to be a spy in Berlin
because she wants to prove herself and
save her Jewish cousins who are in hiding.
Michael Douglas plays another spy
and pre-Schindler's List
Liam Neeson plays a Nazi officer.
Most of the complaints about
the movie were aimed at
how unbelievable
Melanie Griffith is as a spy
because she is really bad at her job.
Like "spilling soup on Liam Neeson and
taking the German kids she's nannying
to the building her cousins are hiding in"
kind of bad
But overall it's not that awful of a movie
because the plot holes
and writing problems
are balanced out by a good soundtrack
and good cinematography
It's just average.
Not bad enough to be memorable
but not good enough
that you'd ever watch it again.
basically the cinematic equivalent
of eating at Denny's.
I think 1992 was just a slow year
for bad movies in general.
That same year they also
nominated Newsies for Worst Picture
and Danny DeVito for
Worst Supporting Actor
like…what? Why? How?
What?
Once again, this is a movie
that's not that bad.
It's a drama where
Woody Harrelson and Demi Moore
play a financially struggling
married couple in Vegas
and Robert Redford is a filthy rich guy
who offers the couple 1 million dollars
for a 1 night stand with Demi Moore.
Honestly, it's fine.
It takes itself very seriously
and it's vaguely misogynistic at points.
Also it's completely unbelievable that
a man who looks like Robert Redford
would ever feel the need to
pay a million dollars
to sleep with someone
But in the context of the movie it all works.
definitely not the
worst movie of the year.
that's for sure
I mean You're telling me that Indecent Proposal
won Worst Picture but Mr. Nanny
wasn't even nominated?
Razzie voters were asleep
at the wheel this year.
In this one Bruce Willis plays a
psychologist who can't see the color red
who gets wrapped up
in a murder after his colleague
gets killed Assassin's Creed-style
and he suspects it was someone
in his therapy group.
I'm so confused why this
was even nominated for Worst Picture
because it really isn't a bad movie at all.
It's surreal and weird, sure,
but in a Twin Peaks type of way
where it's still unsettling
and fun to watch.
Definitely a 6.5 out of 10 movie for me.
Maybe a 7 out of 10 I dunno.
this is another one that became a
cult hit after it was released on home video
Partly because of this crazy sex scene
in a pool that everybody wanted to see
It was even streaming
on Criterion Channel at one point
which basically means
that it's certified art.
That's all I have to say.
I dunno guys, some of these 90s movies
just aren't bad enough to complain about.
There's a lot to be said about Showgirls.
First of all, Director Paul Verhoeven
was the first to accept
his Razzie award in person.
And that's kind of funny.
[Paul] And I'm very happy
because it was much better, much more fun
than reading the reviews in September.
Thank you so much.
(clapping, cheering)
Second of all, Showgirls isn't bad.
It's actually a great movie,
in my opinion, and a lot of people agree.
It is a wild movie about the world of
high budget Las Vegas strip shows
and Obviously with subject matter like that
you're going to view it very differently
depending on your gender and sexuality.
But regardless of what kind
of person you are
the experience of watching this movie
is an absolute rollercoaster.
One. Two. Three.
Thrust it. Thrust it. thrust it. Thrust it!
Come on, thrust it.
But for as over the top as this movie is
it's also pretty true to life.
During his research,
writer Joe Eszterhas interviewed
over two hundred strippers in Las Vegas
and the result was a
shockingly straightforward depiction
of the lives of high profile
sex workers and performers
And a biting satire against
show business in general.
Take a look at these tits.
What are these, watermelons?
This is a stage, babe, it's not a patch.
See ya.
Your ears are sticking out. They are.
Come back and see me
when you get em fixed.
See ya.
Can you spell MGM backwards?
I bet you can't.
- MGM.
- I'm impressed.
Come back when you
fuck some of those baby fat off.
Now in today's era of gritty HBO dramas,
none of this is that shocking
but in 1995 this was next level stuff.
Plus with the subject matter,
this movie has a lot of nudity.
It was rated NC-17 in America
and to date it is the only NC-17 movie
ever given a wide release in theaters.
It was so explicit and controversial
that MGM had to hire security
at every movie theater in America
just to make sure nobody under
the age of 18 snuck into the theater.
The movie lost millions of dollars
and to this day, no studio has ever dared
to try and release an NC-17 movie
in theaters again.
If this sounds interesting to you,
I actually recommend giving this movie a watch
because I can't really do it justice
with just words alone.
Just know what you're getting
into before you turn it on
because this movie is every bit
as traumatic as it is glamorous
This movie is like if showgirls
was actually bad
Demi Moore plays an FBI agent
who looses her daughter in a custody battle
and becomes a stripper in florida
at a place called the eager beaver
to pay for a court appeal
she basically girl bosses
being a stripper
not in a nuance way
like showgirls though
but in a stupid way that
takes itself too seriously
and is mostly just boring
and not believable at all
despite the bad reviews the movie
ended up being a huge success
The director, writer, producer
Andrew Bergman
basically quit holly wood after this movie
I'm pretty sure what happened is once
he got Demi Moore to agree to go topless
he just phoned in the rest of the movie
because clearly the audiences
who went to see this
weren't watching it for the plot
The post man takes place
in a distant future year of 2013
after much of humanity has
been wiped out by the plague
Kevin Costner who also directed the movie
stars as a traveling shakespeare performer
that's conscripted to caesar's legion
but he escapes and finds an old mail bag
full of mail and pretends
to be a mail man so he can get food
and accidently restarts the
us postal service in the process
also it's almost 3 hours long
honestly as far as post apocalyptic
adventures go, this one isn't that bad
it's about the same level of quality
as water world actually
but the fact that it was a 3 hour long
kevin costner vanity project
released just a week after titanic
made it a very easy target for critiques
what is Kevin Costner up to
these days anyway
typing on computer
I mean hey, good luck Kevin
If you aren't familiar
The name Alan Smithee is a fake name the directors
guild of america came up with in 1968
that directors who wanted to take their
name off a movie, were required to use instead
and this movie caused such a headache
that the directors guild had to
officially stop allowing the use of the
Alan Smithee name in movies
OK, so, this movie was written by
Joe Eszterhas and directed by Arthur Hiller
It's a mockumentary about a guy
who's name is actually Alan Smithee
who directs an action movie
but he hates the finished product
so he steals the film reels
and holds them ransom
because he wasn't allowed to take
his name of it
now behind the scenes in real life
Joe Eszterhas was in charge of
cutting burn hollywood burn and when
Arthur Hillers saw the final version
he hated it so much he had
his name taken off the movie
but this of course created confusion
because this was a movie
about Alan Smithee and the poster
said it was directed by Alan Smithee
which you would assume was just a joke
but no, the director actually had his name
taken off the movie
it would take me so long to explain
everything that's wrong
with this movies so let me
just sum it up in four words
there is way too many characters
the movie jumps all over the place
Harvey weinstein is in it
eww sound effect
there's lots of not funny parts
where the camera freeze frames
and there's a wall
of text on screen
I'm guessing what happened is they
filmed all these scenes separately
and thought they were hilarious on set
but when they got to the editing room
they realized they had nothing to work with
so Joe Eszterhas tried to
salvage it by adding a bunch of
text edit jokes
which actually made the movie worse
I have no proof of this of course
but it seems right to me
I mean I'd probably do the
same thing in that situation
ok so this is a western steampunk
fusion movie starring the fresh prince
and the guy who plays Mr. Fish odor
in bob's burgers
as cowboy government agents hunt down
an evil ex confederate officer with no legs
who kidnapped president
Ulysses S Grant with a giant robot spider
that's what this movie is
this movie is ridiculous
I don't know what the executives at
warner brothers were snorting in the board room
when they decided to spend over $170
on a movie where cowboy Will Smith
fights a huge mecha-spider
but thank god they did because Will Smith
turned down playing Neo in the matrix to do this movie
and I want you to imagine now what it
would be like if Will Smith played Neo in the matrix
Evasive laughs
[Will Smith] I probably would have
messed the matrix up. I wouldv'e ruined it
so I did y'all a favor
this might not be a good movie but
oh my god it's so funny
plus the theme song is pretty fire
"if I may quote one of the great gangster rappers
William Will Smith
wicky wild wild wicky wicky wild
wicky wild wicky wicky wild wild wild west
wicky wild wicky wicky wild wild west
do you find those lyrics inspiring?
[person 1] I mean, I-I...
battlefield earth is an action sci-fi movie
based on a novel written by L. Ron Hubbard
the founder of scientology
which he wrote in 1982 when he
was in hiding to avoid going to prison
for his numerous crimes
It's about a distant future world
where humanity has been enslaved
by evil aliens called the Psychlos
which are a very obvious metaphor
for L. Ron Hubbard's vitriolic hate of psychiatrists
John Travolta who plays the evil
alien leader named Terl
and has been a scientologist since 1975
is directly responsible for this movie existing
the production company that took it on
was later found to have defrauded investers
out of $31 million by over reporting
production costs causing a law-suit
that forced the company to go bankrupt
and shut down in 2007
on top of that the movie was a massive
financial flop not just because the movie
and it's John Travolta action figures
were an obvious scientology recruitment tactic
but because the movie itself
was a visual nightmare
the special effects are ugly
the costumes are disgusting
and the whole movie was filmed
with these crooked angles that changed
multiple times a scene
which gave a bunch of people motion sickness
it's a realy infamously bad movie
that's been covered by dozens of
other youtube channels over the years
so if you want more information on it
go watch one of those videos
just don't watch the movie itself because
it will do nothing but make you nauseous
and waste 2 hours of your time
I'm serious you guys
don't do it
I'm sorry you guys
conflict of interest
I can't talk about Freddy got fingered
one of my friends and I watched this movie
like 4x during quarantine and we
kind of bonded over it
and now this movie has a special
place in my heart
so I made Nicky watch it instead
because shes never seen it before
and here she is now
[Nicky} where the hell do I even
begin with this movie
part of me thinks this movie is some kind
of deep anti comedy meant to saterize
the other gross out comedies that
were popular in the early 2000s
and the other part of me thinks that
maybe it means nothing at all
I mean any normal human being
will read a title like Freddy got fingered
and run away in the opposite direction
because what the fuck
is that suppose to mean
but to put it simply
this movie is about a 28yr old man
his name is Gord
and he moves to LA to be a cheese worker
and also to pursue his dreams
of being a professional animator
seems pretty simple right?
seems pretty cut and dry
but that's where you'd be wrong
because so very many things happen
in this movie that are beyond
human explanation
just to name a few
Tom Green jerks off a horse
he swings a baby around by it's
umbilical cord
Tom Green walks around in a deer carcass
and he goes scuba diving in his own toilet
[movie dialogue] get out of the toilet.
get out of that toilet!
but at the risk of sounding clinically
insane and demented
there are moments in this movie
that I find kind of relatable
like this one where the CEO of
an animation company tells
Gord that he doesn't like his drawings
"it sucks"
and so he immediatly sticks a gun
in his mouth and starts screaming
and what makes this even funnier
is the fact that once he recieves
validation, he takes the gun out of his mouth
and acts like none of that ever happened at all
if you're mentally ill and make art
this is the film for you
and this movie surprised me in so many
different ways for one, it made me laugh
way more than I anticipated
"can't you see we're both a couple
of stupid idiots
[female] Gord
[Gord] Gord, Gordy
and it was all so like weirdly based
at times and I say weirdly because
the early 2000s was just like a diragatory
fever dream
it was like running through
the perfume department in spongebob
but the perfume was slurs
so like Gord ends up asking out
this nurse named Betty
and she says yes but afterwards he finds
out that she's in a wheelchair and at first
I'm was like oh shit! like it's about to
get really ableist in here
I was truly prepared for the worst but
my expectations were completely subvirted
when Betty ended up not only being the
smartest person in this whole movie
but her and Gord remain in a relationship
for the rest of the film
"have a bag of jewels for you
they're jewels Betty, they're jewels"
another interesting thing to me is that
betty constantly wants to give Gord
a blow job. Hear me out dude
like, she actually asks him this
so many times in the movie that
it comes off as very obviously satirical
and again my expectations were subverted
by Gord being the one that repeatedly asks
if they can just go out on a date
This could be a play on the trope of
male protaganist in comedy especially
being obssesed with sex
and not only that but woman
being ultra sexualized in these movies
not all the subversion in this movie
is good though necessarily
I mean if you were wondering how
the movie got its title
I shit you not about 50mins into the film
Gord frames his dad
for fingering his brother
"at least I don't touch Freddy"
"he fingers him"
his brother who is like 25 and
doesn't even live with them
"he's a molester"
"he's a chiiiild molester"
but CPS literally goes to his apartment
and takes him to the molestation hospital
is this shocking? yes
I don't know if it's shocking
compared to the other
things that happen in this movie
is it in poor taste?
like, uhhhh, maybe
but anyways this whole framing of the
fingering is the cannon event
that leads to the finale of the film
when Gord pranks his dad by
abducting him in the middle of the night
and taking him to pakistan
"you're fucking dead"
they could write books and novels
and college thesis about everything
else that happens in-between
then and the ending
but just know that this movie ends with
Gord and his dad being covered
in elephant c**
speaking of which
there's an elephant in this room and
the elephant is that I actually kind of like this movie
also the elephant is cumming
is that so wrong?
and is it so wrong that maybe kind of
I might be attracted to Tom Green in this movie?
is it maybe ok if I think
he might be the Pete Davidson of the 90s
you know what, shut up
as far as career ruining films go
Tom Green took the failure of Freddie very
very well. He even showed up to accept
his golden razzie
he rolled out his own red carpet too
celebrate your successes and your failures
[evasive] a remake of an italian film
from 1974
swept away is a movie where Madonna
plays the dumbest most unlikable rich woman
in the world
who gets marooned on an island
with an italian sailor who hates her
and sexually assaults her.
And then 3 mins after that
there's a time skip and suddenly
they're in love
its a nasty nasty nasty movie
and I don't even want to talk about it
it was so bad it caused Madonna
to give up on acting entirely
it's a disaster.
Absolute agony to watch
especially when you consider that the movie
was directed by Madonna's then husband Guy Ritchie
Madonna later divorced Guy Ritchie in 2008
but in my opinion queen should've
divorced Guy Ritchie on the spot for
even suggesting this movie
[Madonna] it was rough. There was nothing
glamorous about it and you were really mean to me
[Guy] Mrs. Ritchie
[Madonna] I just want to slap you on camera
[Guy] but why Mrs. Ritchie
[Madonna] for all those times you let adriano
slap me and you never yelled cut
and all those times they threw octopuses on me
and all those times you made me sit
in the freezing cold ice water
and those times you made me run
down the sand dune and all those
times you ate my food and you didn't pay me
and you never said thank you
Madonna cries and leaves
I'm not going to lie, I was riding the
thigh of actually enjoying Freddie got fingered
when Gigli came in and literally snuffed
the life out of me
Gigle is a movie
it's about a mobster names gigli
played by Benjamin, Benny boy Affleck
and much like review on letter box, I too
hope the Gigli killed himself
because not only does he abduct a
mentally challenged teenager
and abuse him while holding him for ransom
he's also just cring
unforgivably so
Jaylo was also in this movie unfortunatly
and she plays this other mobster or mobsteret
who is suppose to help him
take care of this mentally disabled kid
and she also just happens to be a lesbian
or should I say the least convincing lesbian
in film history
no lesbians were consulted in the making
of this movie because what the fuck is this
you may not be able to tell because this
is the weirsdest way i've ever heard anyone describe it
but she's talking about eating pussy here
I really don't know who like told Jaylo
or whoever wrote this script that
lesbians call that turkey time but whoever
it was deserves to be taken out behind a barn and shot
anyways though of course Gigli doesn't respect
her sexuality
and he whines and complains throughout the whole movie
about oooh, it's not fair that shes like a lesbian
but i'm like attracted to her
and I want to be with her
and after enough complaing ricky starts doing
deeds with him
and its not like this is realistic
at all in any way
but in the hypothetical scenario where
for some reason a lesbian had sex
with a guy. It would not be with this guy
he's always like licking his teeth and shit
but luckily there's not just lesbian cringe
there's also plenty of hetero sexual cringe
and gay cringe
and despite this movie literally
being about mobsters
nothing mobster related really happens
in this movie
until like the last 30 mins where for some
reason Al Pacino is here
I'm sure this is Al Pocinos favorite
role of all time
right up there next to jack and jill
but to give it to you straight
the movie ends with Gigli leaving
the mentally disabled kind on a random beach
with a cast of baywatch
and it's literally played out like its
suppose to be this inspirational thing
like a tear jerker or something
meanwhile Gigli and Ricky ride off into the sunset
just as she's telling him that he should
wear some makeup
do not watch this movie
you will get a UTI
or that other thing
[evasive] ok first of all this movie is catwoman
in name only
despite being a DC comics movie
the catwoman in this movie has pretty much
nothing to do with batman
this character has a different name
lives in a different city
and gets her cat super powers from a magic
cat burping in her mouth
it's just so stupid
it's actually really fun to watch
especially the CGI Halle Berry during the actions scenes
it's so funny
as you might expect this movie bombed hard
probably because they put it out in
theaters around the same time as
spider man 2
its a pretty infamouse super hero movie now
and the director Pitof was basically
laughed out of hollywood
never directed a movie again
but Halle Berry embraced this movie was a flop
and she even showed up in person
to accept her Razzie award
dirty love is a
"comedy"
created by Melissa McCarthy cousin
notorious anti vaccer and masked singer judge Jenny McCarthy
she stars as a woman who gets dumped
by her boyfriend and her life falls apart
its really unhinged but not in a funny
kind of way
more of a im uncomfortable and want to leave
the room kind of way
I actually had a hrd time finding clips
from this movie online
because its pretty obscure and nobody likes it
its mostly badly delivered jokes
and gross out humor with a feminine spin
and by feminine spin I of course mean
period jokes like this scene where a
bleeding Jenny McCarthy goes tot he grocery
store in a white skirt and no underwhere
and almost bleeds out on the floor
you know, relatable comedy for women
just girly thing
#justgirlythings
just girly things
its a girly thing so you wouldn't
understand boy
its a girly thing
its a girly thing
its a girly thing
#justgirlythings
so this is a sequel to basic instinct
and erotic murder mystery thriller
from the early 90s
its maybe best remembered today for the scene
where numan from sienfield
sees Sharons Stones bare uncensored tits
in an interogation room
the original was nominated for a few
razzies in its day but it was a
massive box offic hit
and is today remembered as a pretty solid
Neo Noir thriller
now basic instinct 2 on the other hand
only exists because Sharon Stone
was promised $14 million to star in the movie
and when the producers tried to cancel it
she sued them to force them to make it
its kind of hard to talk about this movie
without spoiling a bit of the original
but I will say that overall I didn't hate this movie
but I also barely remember anything about
the plot and I only saw it a couple months ago
it rehashes a lot of the same story, beats
and plot points as the original
just not as good
would I call it a terrible movie?
no, not really
but compared to the original its pretty bland
and forgetable
but that's what happens when your
only reason for making movies is
to avoid a massive lawsuit
got to love showbiz baby
I know who killed me is a horror
movie starring Lindsay Lohan as a girl
who was kidnapped by a seriel killer
but survives and wakes up in a hospital
saying shes someone else
this movie was released on july, 2007
right at the peak of the tabloid frenzy
about her struggles with alcohol and drug addiction
there was a lot of attention on the movie
while it was filming
especially because Lohan checked into
rehab the first time a month into production
the film set was so swarmed with paparazzi
that some of them even showed up in
the background of a few shots of the movie
then a couple months after filming wrapped
Lohan was arrested for drunk driving
then on July 24th, just 3 days before
the movie was released
Lohan was arrested for drunk driving again
and couldn't even attend the premier
all of this negative media ttention
made Lindsay Lohan enemy #1 in hollywood
critics eviscerated this movie
but in the years since its release
this film has become a bit of a
cult classic with horror movie fans
and its been screned in theaters many times
over the last decade
ive seen a lot of people in line compared
to giallo movies, an itallian film genre
popular in the 60s and 70s
that mixed elements of murder mysteries, slashers, and erotica
the influence of giallo is defintly
present here
its a stylish weird thriller and Lohan
background mader kind of perfect for the role
as the main character wuickly transforms from
a sweet highschool girl
into a deeply traumatized woman
with a robotic hand
its defintly not for everyone
myself included
but if youre into weird gory horror movies
theres a lot to vibe with here
its a much better movie than norbit
thats for sure
I mean have you ever seen norbit
the love guru is a movie
written by, produced by, and starring Mike Meyers
thats mostly remembered today as the movie
that completely tanked his career
and caused him to step away from hollywood
for 8 years
critics and audiences both hated it
with critics calling it lazy, immature,
mindless, pityable, insulting, gross
contemptuous, racist, and unlikable
among many other things
but dont take their word for it
take my word for it
I dont really have any other words for it
that preety much sums it up
anyway heres a scene that they used in the trailor
so the plot of this movie is Mike Meyes
plays this self help guru
named maurice Pitka
who was raised in india
wears a chasity belt and dreams
of being on Oprah
hes hired by the Toronto maple leafs
to help their star player
get back together with his wife
because he is the love guru therfor
only he can save their mariage
its basically a one note movie
that feels like it was written by a 10yr old boy
every scene goes on for way too long
Mike Meyers keeps laughing at his own jokes
and pretty much every line is about
poop, pee, farts, balls or dicks
with many of the characters names being dick jokes
we got tugginmypudha, coach cherkov, Le Coq
dick pants
starts laughing
its not funny that John Olivers
named Dick Pants
starts laughing again
its not...
continues laughing
