Bad Movies Rule!

#251 - Tommy Boy (1995)

Tommy Boy (1995) unleashes Chris Farley as the lovable man-child Tommy Callahan, who teams up with David Spade to save the family brake-pad factory from ruin! This ‘90s comedy classic mixes road-trip chaos, epic fat jokes, and a plot as simple as a sales call. Is this a cult classic or total trash?

Mailbag: A Call to Action, Celebrity Stories and Mail-In Pickles

In this chaotic mailbag episode, James, Mattila, and Clint dive into listener submissions with zero filter—kicking off with a call for fan-made jingles to replace the absent theme song (submit yours or face the ban list!). Physical mail steals the show: an anonymous Washington sender drops epic posters for Rhinestone and Space Truckers, while Matt Mulholland hooks them up with Tommy Want Wingy beer (perfect for the upcoming Tommy Boy ep), gummy pickles (James dodges, Ryan chows down), and a hilariously personal bidet sprayer for Ryan's "gateway to better butthole days." Emails and voicemails flood in with Twilight trivia resolutions (Dakota Fanning in two scenes only!), wild celebrity tales (Hammer Fall encounters in Sweden, a heartfelt Paul Di'Anno meetup before his passing, a Hulk #2 stuntman story from a listener's dad, and a near-miss with Dolly Parton at a buffet). Send your mail, voicemails, or packages to keep the madness rolling! Email: ThisShowIsTrash@gmail.com Voicemail: 262-757 - 8567 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

#250 - Con Air (1997)

Con Air (1997) loads Nicolas Cage onto a hijacked prison plane full of the worst criminals in America—John Malkovich’s psycho Cyrus, Steve Buscemi’s creepy Garland Greene, and a cast of lunatics flying toward freedom! This ‘90s action extravaganza mixes over-the-top stunts, one-liners that soar, and a plot as high-octane as the engines. Is this a cult classic or total trash?

Mailbag: Ryan Finally Snaps and a Listener's Dinner With Dolly

James, Clint, and a delightfully unhinged Ryan (flipping between Nice Matilla and Evil Mattila) tear into a stacked mailbag overflowing with physical treasures and listener gold. They unbox a killer book on VHS-era gems, custom-painted D&D minis from Leroy, and Norman’s legendary swag haul—including tees and a heartfelt, calligraphy-wrapped letter about his uncle’s dementia-fueled Punisher DVD gift (complete with Ryan’s improvised British accent). Emails spark debates on good movies with dumb plots (Thanos, Lake Placid), bit-part actors who bombed as leads (Tom Arnold, Pauly Shore), and the eternal Will Patton Intensity Award controversy from Rhinestone. Voicemails bring UK time-travel vibes from Vicky (prompting a live Google Maps joyride through Leeds, complete with Popeyes, Chick-fil-A, and Victorian arcades), a heartfelt Dolly Parton incognito meet-cute from Zhoggy, and a passionate defense of Escanaba in da Moonlight. Song changes, celebrity stories, weather roasts, and zero chill round out the chaos—proving once again that bad movies (and even better mail) rule! Learn more about your ad choices.
