Misery Loves Movies

Episode 13 – Critters (1986): They Bite BackAfter a brief hiatus (don’t worry, we survived… barely), Misery Loves Movies is back and ready to suffer again—this time at the tiny, toothy hands of Critters (1986). That’s right, we’re diving into this cult classic creature feature where a swarm of alien furballs crash-land on Earth and immediately start snacking on anything—and anyone—in their path.Set in a small Kansas town, the film follows the Brown family as they try to survive a night of chaos while shape-shifting bounty hunters attempt to clean up the mess. It’s part horror, part comedy, and 100% chaotic 80s energy. But does Critters rise above the usual “small monsters attack” formula, or is it just another Gremlins knockoff with sharper teeth?We break down the wild effects, questionable decisions, and everything that makes this movie a cult favorite (or a total mess).🎧 New episodes drop weekly—follow the show so you don’t miss a single trainwreck.📸 Instagram: @miserylovesmoviespod📩 Email us your thoughts or your favorite creature features: [email protected]’re back, we’re miserable, and we’re just getting started.

This week, we’re diving headfirst into a punk rock post-apocalypse with Tank Girl (1995)—and for the first time ever, Mary didn’t want the end credits to roll right away. That’s right, this chaotic, comic book fever dream somehow won her over with mutant kangaroos, water hoarding villains, and one hell of a soundtrack. Is it a hot mess or just hot? Maybe both.Join us as we talk girl power, bizarre production choices, and how this cult classic crashed at the box office but survived in our hearts. It's Lori Petty unchained, Malcolm McDowell doing... whatever that was, and Ice-T as a genetically modified soldier roo.

Buckle up for a joyride into the weirdest roadside attraction ever filmed! In Dan Aykroyd’s Nothing But Trouble, a group of yuppies (led by Chevy Chase and Demi Moore) accidentally rolls into Valkenvania, where a deranged small‑town cop arrests them for the most ludicrous violations. Soon they’re carted off to the twisted mansion of Judge Alvin Valkenheiser—a one‑eyed, deformity‑obsessed judge who presides over the creepiest court this side of a nightmare.From the grotesque Walton family masks to Aykroyd’s unforgettable “Big Baby” gag, every scene is a carnival of bad taste and 90s excess. Join us as we wade through the rubber‑suit chaos, cringe at the over‑the‑top performances, and debate whether this bizarre comedy‑horror hybrid is so bad it’s good… or simply terrifying.🔥 Tune in and survive the insanity! 🔥🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts—new episodes every Wednesday.📸 Follow us on Instagram: @miserylovesmoviespod📩 Email us your own freakshow favorites or next atrocity picks: [email protected] you delight in cinematic trainwrecks, hit that Follow button, leave us a rating, and join the misery!#MiseryLovesMovies #NothingButTrouble #DanAykroyd #CultCinema #BadMovieNight #SoBadItsGood #MoviePodcast #FilmDiscussion #PodcastLife #NowStreaming

Oh hi, listeners! This week, we finally tackle The Room, Tommy Wiseau’s infamous disasterpiece that has baffled and delighted cult movie fans for over two decades.

After a string of legendary flops, we’re switching gears (slightly) with a palate cleanser full of fluorescent vibes and unhinged energy. This week, we revisit Batman Forever—Joel Schumacher’s 1995 take on the Dark Knight, where Gotham is part theme park, part fever dream. Val Kilmer dons the cowl, Jim Carrey steals scenes (and the scenery) as The Riddler, and Tommy Lee Jones… well, he’s definitely having a time as Two-Face.We’re talking glowing set pieces, wild performances, and a Batmobile with a personality of its own. Is it a fun, campy ride—or just a chaotic mess? Either way, it’s a much-needed breather before we dive back into cinematic misery.Connect with us!

You thought Uwe Boll couldn’t get any worse? Think again. This week, we’re diving headfirst into Postal (2007), the infamous video game adaptation that doubles as an exercise in bad taste. Offensive, chaotic, and somehow starring actual actors like J.K. Simmons and Dave Foley (why, Dave, why?), Postal throws subtlety out the window and crashes headfirst into shock humor, over-the-top violence, and a plot that barely holds itself together.From a doomsday cult and a robbery at a Nazi-themed amusement park to the absolute fever dream of a third act, this movie is truly something else. Will we survive the madness, or will the end credits not come soon enough?🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts!🔥 Follow us on Instagram: @miserylovesmoviespod📩 Email us your favorite bad movies: [email protected]👍 Don’t forget to follow, rate, and share!

What if E.T. was made by McDonald’s and Coca-Cola? Well… it kinda was. This week, we’re diving into Mac and Me (1988), the infamous product placement-packed disaster that tried (and failed) to capture Spielberg magic. Featuring an alien with a horrifyingly blank stare, the most unnecessary dance sequence in McDonald’s history, and THAT wheelchair cliff scene—this movie is a non-stop fever dream.Join us as we unpack this shameless cash grab, its bizarre cult following, and why Paul Rudd won’t stop showing that clip on late-night TV.

Flying saucers! Undead ghouls! Stock footage galore! This week on Misery Loves Movies, we’re diving headfirst into one of the most infamous bad movies of all time—Plan 9 from Outer Space (1957). Directed by the legendary Edward D. Wood Jr., this sci-fi/horror trainwreck follows a group of aliens using "Plan 9" (aka resurrecting the dead) to stop humanity from creating a doomsday weapon. But with wobbly gravestones, nonsensical dialogue, and some of the most hilariously awful performances ever, it's no wonder this film has earned its reputation as the best worst movie ever made.Join us as we break down the absurdity, the behind-the-scenes chaos, and why Bela Lugosi appears…sort of.
