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
