We wrap up our look at the 1995 Golden Raspberry Award nominees for Worst Director with a conversation about Kevin Reynolds’ Waterworld, and you know what? It’s a fun movie! It has its problems, but may have gotten a bad wrap because of the production problems. We have a lot of fun talking about it. Tune in!
We jump whole hog into the world of Vegas strippers and exotic dancers with Paul Verhoeven’s 1995 big budget exploitation film Showgirls, next in our series on the nominees at the 1995 Golden Raspberry Awards for Worst Director. Do the reappraisals as a great satire make sense or was Verhoeven going for something he just never quite achieved? Tune in!
We continue our series looking at the 1996 Golden Raspberry Award nominations for Worst Director, today with an in-depth conversation about Roland Joffé’s misguided adaptation of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s classic ‘The Scarlet Letter.’
Our members voted and for January 2024, we’re talking about Batman Forever as a potential contender for the 1996 Golden Raspberry Awards nominations for worst director. But does Joel Schumacher warrant that or did he deliver exactly what everyone wanted? And how does this movie hold up today?
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’re jumping into Richard Linkater’s world of Jesse and Céline – the Before trilogy. We kick things off exploring Vienna with Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. How well does this minimalist conversational film with two Gen-Xers work for us? Tune in!
We end our 90s Comedies series and our 11th season with Tamra Davis’ comedy ‘Billy Madison.’ It was Adam Sandler’s first opportunity to carry a film, and he’s clearly found his audience. What did we think of it?
Our 90s Comedies series continues with a dip into black satire. In today’s episode, we’re talking about Stacy Title’s 1995 film ‘The Last Supper.’ Is it more relevant than ever with its take on divisiveness? Or does it not work at all? Tune in to find out!
