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 it looks like the U.S.
-
government is not going to be 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.
-
(eEeEewWwWw!)
-
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
-
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 i-- it's fine.
