Episodes

  • I, Frankenstein

    A movie about reviving corpses and lost journals. Also throw in some demons and gargoyles too. To coincide with The Bride (yes I'm a little delayed) we watch a Frankenstein movie! I, Frankenstein had a good concept. So what went wrong? Mik…

  • MVP: Most Valuable Primate

    The Winter Olympics are over but you, the audience chose a hockey movie for me to watch in it's honor. From the people who brought us Air Bud, let's watch a kid's movie about a chimpanzee playing hockey. How does he learn to play so quickl…

  • Silent Hill Revelation 3D

    The first bad movie of 2026 and it's a fun one! With Return to Silent Hill coming out this week, we enter Silent Hill. Sergio joins Mike in the fog and we go over this stinker. With a who's who of a cast, what could go wrong? A lot honestl…

  • Quiz of 2025

    Starting the year off right with the Movie Quiz of 2025! Heath, Jamari, Mitchell and Zach take Mike's Quiz. Will Mitchell defend his title or will one of the three knock him off his pedestal? Play along and tell us your scores! Maybe you c…

  • The Mouse Trap

    I know it's November but Spoopy season hasn't finished yet! Mickey Mouse (from Steamboat Willie) as a deranged killer running amok in an arcade? Weird but I'm in. I knew from the first time I heard about it I needed this movie in my life.…

  • Popeye's Revenge

    3rd episode of Spoopy Season! Another public domain character in a horror movie. This time it's Popeye the Sailor Man and Olive Oyl. Popeye's Revenge is another ITN Distribution movie featuring much of the same cast as Fairest of Them All.…

  • Fairest of Them All

    Second episode of Public Domain Spoopy season and we have multiple characters! Zach, Amber, Howard and Mike cover Fairest of Them All. Princesses forced to fight to the death? Sounds epic! Well, how did it do? Maybe not as expected. Listen…

  • Cinderella's Revenge

    It's my favorite time of year! Spoopy season is here! This year's theme is public domain characters in horror movies. To start it off we have Cinderella. We all know the classic tale. Well her Fairy Godmother encourages violence and Cinder…

  • The Fanatic

    Swimfan costs money so we swapped to a different stalker movie. Still that same bad stalker taste in a different package. 2019's The Fanatic directed by Fred Durst and starring John Travolta is a trainwreck. But did Zach and Mike find some…

  • Master of Disguise

    If you are anything like Amber or I, it's time to ruin your childhood! We covered Master of Disguise and Zach (first time watcher, long time podcaster) joins us on our rewind. Do we still have love for this movie? Maybe. Maybe not. Hear ho…

  • War of the Worlds (2025)

    By far the worst movie of 2025 so far and it's not even close. Mike takes us through how Amazon will save us all from an alien invasion. How Ice Cube is as a parent (acting wise I don't know personally). And if you download this episode, y…

  • Fantastic Four (2015)

    It's been 10 years so it is time for another Fantastic Four movie! But we are covering the 2015 one, you know Fant4stic. Also it's our 100th episode! A ton of bad movies have made up our show. This one might have broken Zach. Maybe me too…

  • Aquaslash

    This was supposed to be a boring movie. Well we pivoted to a fun ass movie. It's dumb, it's fun and it's bad. Real bad. just when you thought it was safe to go back to the water park, Aquaslash is out there. Blades in a waterslide killing…

  • Fear Street: Prom Queen

    After 3 pretty fun movies, the Fear Street series took a nose dive in this one. 80's prom, killer on the loose, and based on the works of RL Stine, how did this go wrong? Mike delivers the details and crowns a winner in this latest episode.

  • The Love Guru

    The Maple Leafs have been eliminated from the playoffs again. So why not curl up with The Love Guru who sets his sights on fixing a Maple Leafs star player. At least in the movie world. Talk about offensive stereotypes, short jokes and dic…

  • Avengers Grimm: Time Wars

    I know what you are thinking, Mike why are you doing a sequel on one of your least listened to episodes? Well because Thunderbolts* came out this week and a team-up movie feels just right. The sequel to Avengers Grimm involves time travel*…

  • The Stepford Wives/Holland

    This episode is a double feature on Nicole Kidman! Yes it was supposed to be a different movie, but you now get a 2-for-1 deal. The Stepford Wives and Holland both are not good and deserved the GFAM treatment. Mike also plays a game throug…

  • Interview with Razzies Co-Founder John Wilson

    We love the Razzies here at GFAM. Mike got the special privilege to talk with John Wilson, the co-founder of the awards. Truthfully, it was an honor to talk with him and hear some of his stories. Hear some of the history of the Golden Rasp…

  • Accidental Love

    In time for Valentine's Day, we have one of the worst Rom-Coms of all-time. Accidental Love had a great team of actors but squandered all of it. Turns out it was pieced together a couple years after it was filmed which now makes total sens…

  • Don Peyote

    After two technical issues while recording, we are finally live with this strange start to the year. Don Peyote was written by, directed by and starring Dan Fogler. It features several big names that make you wonder why they even bothered…

  • Quiz of 2024

    We made it to 2025! Like we have been doing, we close out 2024 with a quiz recap of all that happened in movies and TV, as well as look to the future. Zach, Heath and Mitchell take Mike's Quiz and show their knowledge of pop culture in 202…

  • Lift

    Alright this was supposed to be Turkey Day, an animated movie from 2020. However, that was unwatchable. But I offer you a deal. This episode gets 50 downloads, not plays, in 48 hours and I will watch both Turkey Day and Turkey Day 2. Plus,…

  • The Double

    Not to get political but with the election happening this month, it felt like the right time for a bad political thriller. Truthfully, not awful. Still bad. 1 too many twists and that's what brings you The Double. Can Richard Gere, Topher…

  • I Still Know What You Did Last Summer

    This did it. This movie broke me. I had watched this movie a week before recording and I was still angry when I talked about it. I go full rage mode on this one. You do not want to miss the end. One of the worst horror movie sequels of all…

  • The Wolfman

    This bad movie won an Oscar! I know it's hard to believe. It also is the 2nd attempt to launch the Universal Dark Universe, which there have been 4 attempts so far. This one, might be my favorite of the attempts. So maybe this bad movie is…

  • Godsend

    What was supposed to be a small role became the main selling point on this movie for Robert DeNiro. Was it obvious? Maybe? But this movie is far from a Godsend. Evil kid is perfectly in time for the birth of Mike's son. So nailed it on the…

  • The Curse of Downers Grove

    It is the start of Spoopy Season! This one is actually special to me. I'm from Downers Grove, IL and they made a crappy horror movie that is about my town but wasn't filmed in my town. Of course I had to watch it. So hear about the non-cur…

  • The Crow: Wicked Prayer

    There have been 5 Crow movies. This is the 4th one and...um...it's something. A cast list full of names you'd recognize and an all-time awful performance from Dennis Hopper. Maybe the worst performance ever given in a movie. Well Mike take…

  • Borderlands

    Alright so does this count as a bad movie? Usually go for under 40 on both ratings on Rotten Tomatoes. I saw it when it only had 3% critics score. So I feel this counts. Borderlands had none of the fun of the game and all the script of an…

  • Father Figures

    Only a week late for Father's Day unlike my Mother's Day episode. Find Owen Wilson and Ed Helms' father with me! The bad movie this time is Father Figures. Overall, not terrible. However some aspects definitely kill the movies momentum. Pl…

  • Stacy's Mom

    Happy Mother's Day! Only like 3 weeks late. In honor of the holiday, Mike watched Stacy's Mom. Spoiler alert: it sucked and didn't feature a certain song from Fountains of Wayne. One of the positives? They stuck to budget. Maybe that's not…

  • Piranha 3DD

    Episode 80! So let's talk about a movie that is exactly what you would expect. Piranhas, skin and water park filled with killer fish. What more could you want? Mike breaks it all down.

  • From Justin to Kelly

    Happy Valentine's Day to you all! We have a special bad Rom-Com for you. It's From Justin to Kelly! A movie made for the winner and runner-up of the first season of American Idol. What are Mike's thoughts on it? Also what is believable/unb…

  • Alone in the Dark

    One of the worst movies released in January of all-time Alone in the Dark. Also a big focus on Uwe Boll, the director. Hear all about this crazy guy and the movie he decided to make about the video game series.

  • F***, Wrong Culkin

    Never too late to talk some Christmas movies. Ok seriously Mike fell behind editing. But now it's up! We talk a whole bunch of movies like Die Hard in theatres, Dream Scenario, Candy Cane Lane, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off and more. We go on an…

  • Quiz of 2023

    Happy New Year! We close out 2023 with the quiz of the year. All of the moments of TV and Movies that made 2023 what it was. Play along and see if you can beat the GFAM members. Let us know your thoughts on rounds or your score @gameforamo…

  • Elf-Man

    Wee Man tried to break into Family friendly movies. Like this Christmas...classic? How does Mike feel about this one? Well he has some thoughts. Look up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a Troll!

  • The Haunting (1999)

    Wow! We have a special Halloween Bad Movie episode for you. This on The Haunting (1999) featuring Liam Neeson, Catherine Zeta Jones, Owen Wilson and Lili Taylor. With a cast like that, what could go wrong? Well a lot apparently. Zach and M…

  • Urban Legend: Bloody Mary

    The whole GFAM is back! It's not just an Urban Legend. Well maybe it is. And Bloody Mary is the main legend covered in this bad movie. Get a blow by blow of Urabn Legends: Bloody Mary. Does Kate Mara attempt in this movie? Who killed Mary…

  • Friday the 13th VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan

    It's a Friday the 13th in October. Which means bad horror movie time. Jim and Mike cover what Jim thinks is the worst Friday the 13th movie. Jason Takes Manhattan! Armed with a hockey mask and a Manhattan, the boys tackle the best kills, t…

  • The Silence

    5 bad horror movie episodes coming out this month. This is the first one! It's called The Silence. Starring Stanley Tucci and Kiernan Shipka. Basically A Quiet Place but worse. Hear Mike's thoughts on this Netflix original. Plus learn what…

  • Woody Woodpecker

    Rare birds, dumb poachers, blue building enthusiasts? Yep this one has it all. Bad jokes abound. Woody Woodpecker impression fails and more. Including why this movie is #1 on Netflix in the US right now. Check out Mike's thoughts on this w…

  • The Snowman

    Mr. Police I gave you the episode. You could have listened. Mike takes us through another stinker. This one is 2017's The Snowman. Watch when Mike's excitement turned to dread for this movie. Also the streak Michael Fassbender was on befor…

  • Hot Pursuit

    Mike is joined by special guest Jim to discuss 2015's Hot Pursuit. What did this movie make us think? And feel? We give it a new tagline. We compare it to things on the internet and more.

  • Transcendence

    It's Blockbuster season so we need a failed Blockbuster movie for a bad movie episode. So here is 2014's Transcendence! A movie starring Johnny Depp, Rebecca Hall, Morgan Freeman, Cillian Murphy, Kate Mara and Paul Bettany. How could this…

  • Starring Oscar Isaac as Interesting Man #1

    Multiverses aplenty. Cocaine? A little. And many Spider-beings! We banter about The Flash and The Flashpoint Paradox, Cocaine Bear and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse. Plus we also reveal the best 4th of July films to watch.

  • We Talk About Incest Sometimes

    Unfortunately that title is true. But incest in a...fun way I guess? Jill and Mike talk about Quasi, The Night Agent, Queen Charlotte and even some video games. Oh and of course incest. Find out why, now!

  • Waiting for Jarnathan

    The gang's back together! We have reviews of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor (Honour?) Among Thieves, Air and of course the Super Mario Brothers movie. We also talk about what's next for the Super Smash Universe. All of this while waiting for Ja…

  • Looking Back

    Mike has watched 24 bad movies for this podcast so far. Now seemed like as good a time as any to go back and rank them from best bad movie to worst bad movie. Hear a synopsis for each as well as why it was positioned the way it was. We hop…

  • Life Without Dick

    Sarah Jessica Parker, Harry Connick Jr. and Johnny Knoxville?!? How could this movie fail? Well Mike is here to tell you how. It's a combo Valentine's Day/St. Patrick's Day episode since the Irish mob is involved too (wish I was kidding).…
