The Worst Movie Podcast
The Worst Movie Podcast dives headfirst into cinema’s biggest disasters, bizarre flops, and guilty pleasures that somehow made it onto the big screen.
Each week, Aaron & Ade break down a famously bad (or hilariously misguided) movie—exploring its wildest scenes, behind-the-scenes chaos, and the baffling choices that left critics scratching their heads.
From big-budget bombs to forgotten VHS nightmares, we ask the ultimate question: is it good-bad, bad-bad, or secretly genius? Expect laughter, sharp commentary, and maybe even a few guilty confessions about movies we actually love.
Whether you’re a cinephile, a casual moviegoer, or just someone who enjoys a good roast, The Worst Movie Podcast is your ticket to the dustbin of Hollywood.
