Bad Movies Rule!

The crew opens up a ton of awesome physical fan mail — including new DVDs for the BMR Reacts pile (Dream a Little Dream, Plan 9 from Outer Space, It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World, and more), plus another wild care package from James Clemens complete with extreme heat, Pepto Bismol, and pickle potion.

We dive into your emails and voicemails featuring:
- Celebrity encounter stories (Jeremy Renner pre-Hurt Locker, baby Catherine Bach/Daisy Duke, Billy Zane signed Demon Knight VHS)
- Fan updates, food rants (Bojangles & Cook Out supremacy), and life stories
- Highlander universe deep dive, arm wrestling theories, horror movie advice, and plenty of laughs

Plus musical chairs, the return of the Chicken Lady (sorry Kurt), and more ridiculous tangents.

Thank you to every single person who wrote in, called, or sent packages — you make these episodes possible!

The BMR crew is back for more quarter-mile chaos (and whatever the hell that bridge jump was) as we dive into 2 Fast 2 Furious! James, Clint, Bob, and Joe reunite to roast the Paul Walker/Tyreese Gibson bromance, Ludacris in a full-body jumpsuit, Cole Hauser’s rat torture tactics, and enough ejector seat talk to make you question physics. From Orange Julius-sponsored street races to houseboat showdowns and that legendary car-on-boat stunt, this one’s packed with early-2000s Miami vibes, terrible cop plots, and non-stop tangents.

We debate if this is the weakest Fast film, hand out awards (including the most cursed supporting performances), and deliver our final verdicts. Buckle up — it’s bad, it’s furious, and it’s exactly what the BMRmy ordered.

We were all shocked when this one landed on GMR instead of BMR — Patrick fully expected to feed us a stinker, but Highlander (7.0 IMDb, strong critic/audience scores) showed up ready to rumble. Join us as we dive into this cult classic with Christopher Lambert as Connor MacLeod, Sean Connery as the fabulous Spanish-Egyptian mentor Ramirez, and Clancy Brown absolutely dominating as the unhinged Kurgan.

We break down the epic sword fights (parking garage brawl, rooftop chaos, and that mountain training montage), the killer Queen soundtrack, Canon Films chaos, immortal rules, ridiculous accents, and why this 80s gem still hits with nostalgia, practical effects, and unhinged energy. Expect wrestling tangents, quickening breakdowns, Heather’s heartbreaking scenes, and our full awards (clean sweep for Clancy Brown’s intensity!).

A fun, heartfelt episode celebrating a movie that’s better than it has any right to be. There can be only one… and this one rules.

James, Mattila, Nicole, and Danger Dave dive headfirst into the gloriously ridiculous 1986 ninja action flick Unmasking the Idol! Expect chainmail masks, a weather balloon escape, the most intelligent baboon in cinema history (Boone!), piranha pits, a hot tub full of ninjas, and more questionable decision-making than you can shake a throwing star at.

This one starts strong with over-the-top action and only gets wilder from there. The crew roasts the plot holes, debates whether it’s a parody or just straight-up unhinged, and tries to survive the slowest, most balloon-dependent mission in movie history. Is it a bad movie that rules? Tune in to find out!
