A panel of filmmakers, writers and critics take a look at some cinema's biggest critical and/or financial failures and discuss what makes them watchable despite their lack of success.
'Annihilation: Part Two' with Brent Evans, Kori Reay-Mackey, Ben Norris and Michael Facey
Annihilation is so good it took us two episodes to get through all our content! Hopefully the box office output of this episode is better than the film, because we know we'll be boosting search algorithms all over the world for 'Annihilation,' and 'Alex Garland.'

'Annihilation: Part One' with Brent Evans, Kori-Reay Mackey, Ben Norris and Michael Facey
Part sci-fi, horror, mystery, thriller, action, drama, etc - Annihilation refracts genres as well as its mysterious Shimmer refracts DNA. Here to discuss Alex Garland's box office disaster is horror and sci-fi film producer Michael Facey, as we cut to the core of what made this movie so great... but not great enough to see at the cinema.

'John Carter' with Brent Evans, Kori Reay-Mackey and Ben Norris
It is one of the most expensive films ever made, costing Disney $200 million after box office receipts. At least it was a critical success... oh wait, it wasn't. 'Failure' isn't an adequate description of Andrew Stanton's 'John Carter.'

'Venom' with Brent Evans, Kori Reay-Mackey and Ben Norris
A film which received as much criticism as it made money, a cast that couldn't save it and some weird fan "shipping" of Eddie Brock and his symbiote. We can only be talking about Ruben Fleischer's Venom.

'Star Wars Special: Episode 3' with Brent Evans, Kori Reay-Mackey and Ben Norris
I (https://anchor.fm/dashboard/episode/en75mp)t's officially the worst Star Wars film. Just ask Rotten Tomatoes. A disappointing end to a disappointing trilogy, and an even worse ending to such an amazing story. Let's dig into why.

'Star Wars Special: Episode 2' with Brent Evans, Kori Reay-Mackey and Ben Norris
There probably isn't a Star Wars film as divisive as Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi, so we sat down to figure out why. From casinos to Space Jesus, it's all a bunch of, "This Isn't My Star Wars." Let's talk about why.

'Star Wars Special: Episode 1' with Brent Evans, Kori Reay-Mackey and Ben Norris
Season Two: Bangers Incoming is here and, as promised, so is the Star Wars Special. What's more Unwatchable than a trilogy which made over $4.5 billion and has a collective Rotten Tomatoes score of 77%? We're not sure - but listen anyway!

'Dredd' with Brent Evans, Ben Norris and Kori Reay-Mackey
Imagine being trapped in a building with three film nerds and having to shoot your way out! Okay, now imagine you're Karl Urban's mouth, outperforming and outgunning any thug that comes his way in Alex Garland's 2012 action masterpiece, Dredd.

'Bad Boys II' with Brent Evans, Kori Reay-Mackey and Ben Norris
The film that perfected Bayhem, inspired a generation of 13 year old boys and disappointed literally everybody else. Brent Evans, Kori Reay-Mackey and Ben Norris spend probably too much time diving into the depths of what works and what doesn't in Michael Bay's 'Bad Boys II.'
