Episode 8 – So Bad, It’s Good

miamiconnection_poster-final__smallWooden dialogue, cardboard sets, visible boom mics and terrible acting!

Mike and Casey dive into the best examples of the worst popular culture with Ask an Atheist‘s Sam Mulvey and first-time panelist Roslyn Townsend! Join us as we wrack our brains to answer the question: Why are some things so bad, they’re good? What makes some poorly made entertainment unintentionally hilarious, and others impossible to tolerate? Why do admittedly terrible movies like the Room, Plan 9 from Outer Space and Birdemic have huge legions of fans?

We dive into bad movies, bad food, bad literature, and even the bad arguments of North Korean state propaganda, to figure out why we love things that are objectively terrible.

  1. I just listened to this a couple of weeks ago, just caught up with all the episodes this week. A couple of days ago Rifftrax the people that did Mystery Science Theater 3000 announced they would do a live show of Miami Connection on 1 October 2015. After you guys talked up the movie I am going to have to see the Rifftrax version.
