### **Opening Phrase**

Where each week we watch another terrible movie so you don't have to.

### **How Bad Was It?**

Well, if you love Barney the Dinosaur, but that *coward* never took the time to give MTV the thrashing it deserves, you will *love* this movie.

### **Best Worst**

* Marsh: ...way to defeat evil. [Cut in on one channel for a song about who you are.]
* Heath: ...rapper. [Worse than Heath.]
* Eli: ...pronunciation. [A mouth full of Big League Chew.]

### **Notes**

* Check out Marsh on Twitter, *Be Reasonable*, *Skeptics with a K*, *The Skeptic* (UK), and at The Good Thinking Society, or (thanks to Eli) Skeptic of the Year and MarshStoleHisVaccineFromAnOldLady.com.
* Commander Kellie is Kellie Copeland, Kenneth Copeland's daughter, and for some reason she is nearly unintelligible.

### **Jokes**

* [Heath: We do know he's a bad guy though, because he's wearing a uniform that says "N.M.E." on it, which is like "enemy", but the letters "N, M, E."] [Marsh: I've got a confession to make at this point, which is that I did not get that "NME" sounded like "enemy" until about *halfway* through this. And in my defense, that's because "NME" in England is the *New Musical Express*, a very long-running indie magazine. So I was like, "Why the guy from the *NME*—is he trying—are these kids in an up-and-coming post-punk band from the nineties, and he's trying to get an interview? Is that's what's happening here, and they're running from the *NME*?"] [Heath: That would have been… so much better—it's disappointing that it wasn't that.] [Marsh: Like, one of these kids is going to carve "SERIOUS" on his arm with a blade, to prove just how into post-punk they are.]
* [And this is, of course, where Rapper raps, and it is *amazing*] [Marsh: it's beautiful. It is beautiful. And I don't wanna be that guy, but you know they wanted the black kid to play "Rapper." I've never been more sure of anything in my life. It's only when the black kid's parents said "He's not going to do that" that they hired a second kid, who looks like a gurning Steve Guttenberg, to take over the role of "Rapper."] [Heath: That is correct. And they were like, "Okay. Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah—we don't want to make the one black kid be the rapper. We'll make him literally Urkel—that's not a problematic thing."] (25:00)
