The members have spoken and decided that, instead of a good film with real possible options for an alternate 1998 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Lead Actress, we should talk about Mark A.Z. Dippé’s Spawn, based on Todd MacFarlane’s comics. Poor Theresa Randle. Still, it makes for a fun conversation!
We continue our series looking at the nominees at the 1998 NAACP Image Awards for Oustanding Lead Actress, this time delving into our first Quentin Tarantino film on the show, his fantastic Jackie Brown. Lots to love and lots to discuss!

We continue our look at the Worst Director nominees at the 1996 Razzies. Today, it’s Renny Harlin’s pirate adventure Cutthroat Island. Does it warrant a worst director nom? Script and casting issues aside, Harlin delivers a fun film. Tune in!
We kick off our look at the 1996 Golden Raspberry Award noms for Worst Director – that’s right, it’s time for the Razzies! – with a conversation about Frank Marshall’s adaptation of Michael Crichton’s Congo. Is it terrible yet entertaining or just terrible?
