This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade finally sneaks in A Pyromaniac's Love Story (1995), a forgotten 90s oddity with a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes that also happens to be one of his all-time favorite films. Set in a fairy-tale version of the present day, the film follows a smitten baker's apprentice (John Leguizamo), an eccentric pyromaniac (William Baldwin, surprisingly unhinged), and a tangled web of confessions, unrequited love, and misplaced gestures. It's a weird, warm, quietly funny movie that somehow never found its audience — and the podcast is officially volunteering to be the spark.
