99. Blade (1998). It's really fucked up that we got a fucking Morbius movie before we got a Blade movie that wasn't part of this trilogy. Because, as this movie demonstrates, Blade is a simple yet elegant concept. Daywalker killing vampires with cool action and likeable characters. Done.-
96. The Straight Story. So...I know we have two left to watch after this, but I think I'm good to say this is Lynch's worst film. That's not to say it's badly made or anything, but man, if you thought Elephant Man was out of character for him, this one feels like it was made by a different guy.
94. Archie (Mark Waid). Rare that we get a comics run on the media thread, I know, but I kind of have a history with this one. So if you're American, I think you've at least SEEN an Archie comic before. They're one of the few comics that are still sold in places like grocery stores, for one.-
93. Carnival of Souls (Rifftrax.) ...you know, I think this movie had SOMETHING. A good concept going for it, at least. Like, I can see this being a manifestation of someone's survivor's guilt, portrayed through them seeing visions of lost souls... I don't think it was done WELL, though.
riffed, and honestly, I believe it. I don't think it's the worst movie I've PERSONALLY seen-that shitty version of Alice in Wonderland still offends me more because it's literally stealing someone else's work and putting shitty MS Paint animations over it-but it's fucking up there.-
91. Things (Rifftrax). It's not every day that you see a movie that fails on every possible level. Coherency, likeable characters, good dialogue, pacing, special effects, the ability to SEE WHAT'S FUCKING GOING ON HALF THE TIME- But Things is that. It's a bad sign when your 'big get' for the-
89. The Amazing Digital Circus, Episode 9. ...damn. I do wish I could have seen this in theaters, but I couldn't justify that currently. (Plus it was reservation only, and I could never find a good time anyway.) It probably would have been interesting, though I don't know what the locals-
87. Avenger Penguins. I'm willing to bet most of you haven't seen this, unless you're British and happened to be there at the time. This is another Cosgrove Hall cartoon that I ended up watching for a Patreon request, but unfortunately, my experience with this one wasn't quite as positive as my-
85. Not Just A Goof. It really is funny, the things that stick with you. I know that so many people of my generation have this huge reverence for A Goofy Movie. It was a childhood movie for a lot of us. I know that some people have trouble seeing what we see in it, and deep down I also know-
81. One Piece: Grand Pirate Show (Universal Fan Fest Nights 2026) One Piece stunt shows are nothing new in Japan, but in hindsight, it's fucking huge that we got an original American-made show, and the promise of more to come. Though, this one feels less like the Netflix version and more like-
80. All-Star Superman. This has been sitting on my DVD shelf for some time now, and it's only today that I finally decided to sit down and watch it for the first time. Maybe it felt appropriate to do so today, on my birthday. This DVD was cheap, and I'd heard good things about the comic-
78. Million Dollar Legs (1932). This was an interesting addition to the thread. Someone actually commissioned this to be covered here, not in a video review. Strange as it was, I gave it a shot. Unfortunately, the movie wasn't bad, but it didn't really click with me. I'm not familiar with-
77. Monster From Green Hell. (Rifftrax.) A recurring theme with the big cheesy monster movies that Rifftrax covers is that the monster never fucking shows up. That's true of this movie, but while the giant insects aren't terrible-looking monsters, the accompanying incessant buzzing they make-
71. Be My Baby: A Memoir (Audiobook.) You can thank Behind the Bastards for this inclusion, as otherwise I don't know if I'd have read this. But man...as dark as this book is, I'm glad I did. The Phil Spector episodes are probably the series I'd recommend to any new BtB listeners. Not just-
65. Dune (1984). Continuing our trip through David Lynch's filmography, we come to probably his most infamous movie. In Lynch's defense, I will say that making a single-movie adaptation of Dune is a fool's errand, even if it's a long-ass movie. That's why the new movie was split in two.-
64. Psycho II (Rifftrax). It's rare, but...I think my experience watching this was actually downgraded by the riffs. Look, I get it. Having a Psycho II is a weird idea, but I was fucking invested, dammit. Honestly, after watching this, I'm with Allison-this movie's pretty great. And-
63. Beast of the Yellow Night (Rifftrax.) Good luck trying to follow anything in this movie. Theoretically, it's about a guy who turns into a beast at night, pretty much a werewolf story except with a shitty blue mask. Except, aside from frequent step-ins from the devil, who just looks like a-
59. Where Is Anne Frank? Another Patreon request, and...I feel like I was tap-dancing on eggshells the whole time I was watching this movie, let alone writing the script for its upcoming video. Obviously, when you talk about the Holocaust, the subject is going to be kinda touchy, even now.-
56. Abarat Book 1, aka The First Book of Hours. (Audiobook.) When it comes to isekai fantasy worlds, I find that one that gets overlooked (and not, as in the case of Xanth, for good reason) is the Abarat. And that's a real shame, because I think the Abarat books are great. Or at least the first-
I think a couple of these might piss some people off, but I tried to answer this as well as I could.
55. Bionicle: Mask of Light. Another movie I watched for a Patreon request. Technically, I have seen this movie as a kid, but it's been so long I only remember parts of it, so I figured I'd put it on the thread anyway. I know some kids were definitely obsessed with Bionicle, and watching this,
48. Gon in 60 Seconds. So I said before that I don't normally include YouTube videos on here unless they feel like an event, and...this one definitely fits the bill. Equally disturbing and hilarious, real and insane. Next time someone tells you YouTubers can't act, show them this. Nen/Nen.
47. Chico and Rita (2011). Throughout this project, I've found several movies that I've liked more than I thought I would, which I'm grateful for. I think this is the first one that I've liked less than I thought I would. Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of this movie. Setting-wise, it's
