Best of the Worst - Star Slammer, Talos, and The Apple

RedLetterMedia's "Best of the Worst" Episode 141.

I won't spoil it but the ambition and execution of what they do at the end is what elevates this episode above the average.

The Haunting Balloon Boy Theme

Presented without comment.

Best of the Worst - Plinketto #12

The boys watch 3 movies based on the randomization of a not-so-legally-distinct Plinko board.

Of interest to me, and perhaps to you, they watch "The Peanut Butter Solution" which I covered myself here. It's fun to see that our thoughts mesh well. Of particular note: we both compare "The Peanut Butter Solution" to "Rosemary's Baby," which is wildly specific.

Shoji Tabuchi Died Two Years Ago

 I guess I'm way behind on entertainment news but Shoji Tabuchi apparently died in 2023.

RIP Shoji.

 

Best of the Worst: Terror Squad, Back from Hell, and Traxx

A really solid "Best of the Worst" where they discover "Traxx" - perhaps an all-timer.

Best of the Worst Trivia

Mike and Rich compete in a RedLetterMedia gameshow where the questions are all about "Best of the Worst" movies.

I'll be honest, I did not do as well as I would have hoped/expected.

10 Hours of Geteven Doing the Shimmy Slide

Woo! Let's do it again!

BOTW - Cade: The Tortured Crossing

 

Speaking of bad movies, Neil Breen has a new one. Well, not "new" but RLM spaces these things out a bit.

If an hour and twenty minutes is too long for you, you can skip to 45 minutes to get the short recap.

But if you do have the time to watch the full episode, then if you've come this far perhaps you can come a little farther. Read the description on the youtube page.

Best of the Worst - Christmas Plinketto

 

For this year's Christmas episode, it's Plinketto! And the results are weird but you already knew that. 

Why they skip over the introduction to "Silent Night Deadly Night 4" I don't know.

A Youtube Channel of WOTW Movies

 There is a youtube channel devoted to full videos featured on the Wheel of the Worst.

Best of the Worst: New Releases!

 

This episode is notable as, according to Jay's Twitter, it contains the second-worst movie he's ever seen. Further, the panel all agrees it's the worst movie they've ever watched on the show (but that's not so unusual).

Plus: Rich Evans has a new catchphrase.

Wheel of the Worst #23

 Ah the joys of video randomization: New Look Delegate Keep Fit Ill.

Best of the Worst - New York Ninja

 

The name of Vinegar Syndrome continues to ascend.

RedLetterMedia Makes It Onto 3 Emmy Ballots

RedLetterMedia reports that they have made it onto 3 Emmy Ballots. 

I don't know the full process of how people are nominated and how those nominees are whittled down or anything. I expect they probably won't be a finalist even though they're better than the other nominees.

The Best of the Worst episode that's up for nomination is the Halloween episode. You can see that here:

Interestingly, the Half in the Bag nomination doesn't list a specific episode. That doesn't make sense to me but like I said, I'm no expert.

The 100th Episode of Best of the Worst

 The long awaited 100th episode of Best of the Worst is finally here and, boy howdy, is it a doozy. As you can tell by the name, it's a combined Black Spine, Wheel of the Worst, Plinketto episode with possible Nukie appearances and professional wrestling elements. 

And, as with any random selection of VHS tapes, there are NSFW sections - be advised.

"This computer training video does feel like 'The Shining.'"

Best of the Worst - Blood Shack

 

Best of the Worst - Bad Movie Scavenger Hunt

One of my favorite bad movie tropes is that period in the 80s when computers were depicted as performing magic. This episode has one of the best (several of the best) examples of that that I've ever seen.

Best of the Worst - Showdown, Robot in the Family, and Bloodz vs. Wolvez

In particular, it seems Robot in the Family now enters the Best of the Worst Hall of Fame.



Robot in the Family is available here. I haven't watched it yet but I'm thinking I need to...

Wheel of the Worst #20

My #1 concern with this episode is, I need to spend this Christmas (and probably every Christmas thereafter) with Dennis. And there is good news on that front. The full video is on the internet.

Christmas with Dennis Part 2

Best of the Worst - Black Spine #3

This is incredible.

There are parts of this that I would call "NSFW", by the way. But that's just what happens when you watch random, unmarked VHS tapes.
