This Christmas

Nathan and Jacob fulfil a small dream as they review a much-berated album by their idol, Sir Paul McCartney!In the middle of the 80s (and the midst of his own creative drought), McCartney teams up with renowned producer, Hugh Padgham, to create an album of songs about summer, ancient civilisations, film sets, and old men talking about birds. But is it as bad as everyone says it is? Will these two McCartney superfans be forced to admit their hero got it wrong?

Reviewing the worst of the worst - so you don't have to!Nathan and Jacob sit down for their first film review in a VERY long time and it is a doozy - 2010's ensemble romantic comedy, Valentine's Day. With a cast full of famous names, Valentine's Day attempts to juggle multiple love stories across a single day in LA. The boys try to wade through a mess of plots, underdeveloped characters, and cheesy clichés.Will the star-studded cast (including Taylor Swift's acting debut) be enough to make this film worthwhile?

The boys review The Black-Eyed Peas' Fergie's solo debut album, The Dutchess (with a T), and tackle some of the biggest-selling and most famous songs in Bad Things history - as well as some rarities and oddities (emphasis on the "odd" part). Samples aplenty, weird metaphors, geographical errors, The Duchess of York, Will.i.am, this album has it all! But is it actually bad?

Reviewing the worst of the worst - so you don't have to!Nathan and Jacob tackle one of their most treacherous topics to date as they review the first posthumous release from Michael Jackson - 2010's Michael. Released just months after the troubled star's death, Michael is a hodgepodge of unfinished and unreleased songs cobbled together by a ea of producers and guest vocalists. Oh, and some of the songs may not actually be sung by MJ.Join the boys as they recount MJ's life, play a game of "Michael or Not Michael" with the songs, and try and work out if this album was actually worth it.VOTE IN OUR POLL FOR EPISODE 23.Find us on Facebook - www.facebook.com/badthingspodcastTwitter - https://twitter.com/BadThingsPod (@badthingspod)Instagram - www.instagram.com/badthingspod (@badthingspod)Theme music - Boo Boogie by Doug Wood.

Reviewing the worst of the worst - so you don't have to!Nathan and Jacob take a trip back in history to review an animated movie that sure as hell ain't James Cameron. Titanic: The Legend Goes On is a total trainwreck of a movie; plagued by bad dubbing, bad editing, bad acting, and bad... well, just about everything! The boys deal with 50 minutes of confusing plot moments, baffling lines of dialogue, and songs that really did not need to be there. A film that broke Nathan's concept of the English language, this movie is something else...VOTE IN OUR POLL FOR EPISODE 22 (Christmas 2022!).Find us on Facebook - www.facebook.com/badthingspodcastTwitter - https://twitter.com/BadThingsPod (@badthingspod)Instagram - www.instagram.com/badthingspod (@badthingspod)Theme music - Boo Boogie by Doug Wood.

Reviewing the worst of the worst - so you don't have to!Nathan and Jacob go back to the early 2010s for a dose of Party Rock courtesy of Sky Blu and Redfoo - collectively known as LMFAO. The boys review their second album, "Sorry For Party Rocking", which contains mega singles like "Party Rock Anthem" and "I'm Sexy And I Know It" as well as collaborations with Calvin Harris and Will.i.am. Is there anything redeemable on an album almost entirely about partying, drinking, and chasing girls?

Reviewing the worst of the worst - so you don't have to!Nathan and Jacob take on their most divisive topic yet, as they tuck into Seth Rogen's animated adult comedy - Sausage Party! Despite some outstanding reviews (82% on Rotten Tomatoes!), Jacob refused to believe that this film is any good and sets out to prove it. What will the boys make of almost an hour and a half of toilet humour, stereotypes aplenty, and that scene at the end of the film?Bon Appetit.

Reviewing the worst of the worst - so you don't have to!Nathan and Jacob pick up their half microphone stands and say a huge "DAYYYYYYYY OH" to the album Hot Space - Queen's much-maligned "Disco" album from the early 80s. The boys sink their teeth into Queen's epic backstory including "The Five Queen Songs Nathan Actually Likes" and their many gripes with the film Bohemian Rhapsody. They then settle into a disco/funk/rock LP containing songs about love, dancing, John Lennon, and Freddie Mercury yelling ridiculous things. Is this album as bad as everyone says it is? Or were people in the 80s just being moody because Queen decided to try something new? There's only one way to find out...
