Great Bad Movies

It's finally time for manners to maketh Greg and Joe. It has somehow taken over two years for this show to cover Kingsman, but that just shows how many love letters the world of Great Bad Movies deserves. So pop the cork on a $250,000 bottle of Dalmore 62, and celebrate an emotionally mature new action star named Colin Firth as he beats up an entire bar.This movie is almost entirely incredible.... Verdict: Great Bad Movie, no notes — well, several notes, but that's why this show exists. BYO Dalmore (or, budget permitting, a $19 Jameson). Let's get to KINGSMAN!!!If you’d like to advertise with us or sponsor us, please e-mail greatbadmoviesshow@gmail.comSubscribe to Great Bad Movies wherever you listen to podcastsMore Great Bad Movies online:InstagramGreat Bad Movies WebsiteYouTubeEmail us at greatbadmoviesshow@gmail.com

Greg & Joe answer the most important question: When was the last time David Hallgren watched the Bourne Identity?? If Robert Ludlum wrote a book about their ongoing bet, it would be called The Hallgren Wager®. (We reserve the right to make a 9 part film series based on that.) Also, we announce what next week's movie will be!

Listen, Will Smith was just trying to buy Christmas presents for his wife and son. But then Jon Voight murdered a senator and a guy studying geese accidentally gave him the tape and now the entire NSA is tracking him with satellites. I don't know if you really need to know more than that, but it's basically Three Days of the Condor if Robert Redford was replaced by the Fresh Prince and the whole thing was directed by a man that paints the camera lens orange.Tony Scott, who we have controversially said was the better Scott, continues to keep his batting average up for one of the hosts of this podcast. The other one has... Some thoughts. Also Gene Hackman is playing the same character from The Conversation 24 years later but nobody can legally say that. It's all pretty serious stuff in this movie, but the case is bizarrely all the future comedy stars from the 00's. Somehow it all works, for one of us at least. That's right, it's time for 1998's ENEMY OF THE STATE.If you’d like to advertise with us or sponsor us, please e-mail greatbadmoviesshow@gmail.comSubscribe to Great Bad Movies wherever you listen to podcastsMore Great Bad Movies online:InstagramGreat Bad Movies WebsiteYouTubeEmail us at greatbadmoviesshow@gmail.com

This week Greg and Joe celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Mission Impossible movie that saved the Mission Impossible universe from itself. The episode opens with a startlingly stressful countdown that threatens Joe with a potentially dangerous beer run. Much like the movie, this episode is basically a very well-financed Alias episode, and a massive love letter to everyone involved in Mission:Impossible III.Joe watched it and forgot to take notes. Greg watched it twice this week. Let's just say David Hallgren has some explaining to do.Along the way: The full behind-the-scenes history of how this movie almost wasn't this movie; why Variety's description of Tom Cruise may be the truest sentence ever written; and of course many reviews that briefly become contenders for the name of this podcast. (DING) Also: One of the very best silent helicopters in history, the drinking game that requires a volleyball-style rotation, and Greg's first-ever "small sip" ruling.Joe's honest back of the box calls it exactly what it is. It's our movie through and through.If you’d like to advertise with us or sponsor us, please e-mail greatbadmoviesshow@gmail.comSubscribe to Great Bad Movies wherever you listen to podcastsMore Great Bad Movies online:InstagramGreat Bad Movies WebsiteYouTubeEmail us at greatbadmoviesshow@gmail.com

In 1999, Renny Harlin made a shark movie on the same soundstages as Titanic, cast Samuel L. Jackson and LL Cool J, and then blew the whole set up when he was done. The result is a movie that has absolutely no business being this entertaining — and yet... Here we are. Greg and Joe travel back to a perfect year for movies to cover Deep Blue Sea, officially renamed Super Smart Sharks approximately four minutes into this episode.This week: the greatest surprise death in monster movie history, an animatronic shark that accidentally launched itself through a ceiling, a director's commentary where Samuel L. Jackson openly admits he spent most of the shoot on a golf course, and a USA Today review that uses the phrase "cheese barge." Also featuring a very important voice memo from David Hallgren, who has somehow already seen this movie twice in 2026.As with every episode, this is the conversation that needed to happen about this movie. Also: Drinking Games, Joe's Back of the Box (buckle up), Very Important Questions, and a definitive ranking of the greatest shark movies ever made — which gets more contentious than you'd expect.If you’d like to advertise with us or sponsor us, please e-mail greatbadmoviesshow@gmail.comSubscribe to Great Bad Movies wherever you listen to podcastsMore Great Bad Movies online:InstagramGreat Bad Movies WebsiteYouTubeEmail us at greatbadmoviesshow@gmail.com
