Comedy #27, All Genres #186

The award-winning comedy podcast that celebrates bad movies. Comedians and actors Paul Scheer (The League), June Diane Raphael (Grace and Frankie), and Jason Mantzoukas (Big Mouth) break down the very best of the worst films ever made—we’re talkin’ blockbuster flops, cheesy 80s action movies, Lifetime thrillers, obscure cult classics, and if we’re honest… most Nic Cage and Jason Statham movies. Plus, sometimes they’re even joined by hilarious guests like Seth Rogen, Conan O’Brien, Amy Schumer, Nicole Byer, Nick Kroll, and Charlize Theron. And the best part? They watch these bad movies so you don’t have to! New episodes every Friday. Classic episodes re-released every Monday.

    Ad-free option please
    This show really needs an ad-free subscription option. The ad frequency and placements really kill the vibe.
  • Buffalo Lover AK
    Absolute Best
    The all time best! Big love and thanks to June, Paul, and Jason for providing years of laughter and uplifting entertainment. 💗

    League of Extraordinary Men (+ women)
    This was my favorite episode I may have ever heard!!! Y’all crack me up. 😂
  • PeeWeeCG
    Really Love The Audience Participation!
    Love this podcast! It takes movies I may never have watched or considered and gives them. Really appreciate how inclusive and positive they are when considering these films. Please don’t take away audience voting I fear that happening IRL. I really appreciate you watching LOEG as it holds the dubious honor of being the only movie I paid for then walked out on in the theater. The only other movie I’ve walked out on was The Covenant(2006) when then gave out free tickets.

    Synergy!
    The entire purpose of this review is to let fans know (in case it’s never mentioned on last looks) that Mantzoukas will be on the next season of BBC4’s Taskmaster and available next day on YT for non-uk viewers. P.s. good show love you guys

    Bad edits on the Matinee Mondays
    Many of the Matinee releases have sections that replay themselves. Tammy and the T-Rex for example does it three time, it replays multiple sections, each over 20 seconds, two times during the episode.
  • asiatamyra
    Great Podcast!
    Love this show so much! The new formats for episodes is great, but I still love when they do a blind items episode!
  • Marlin954
    Love ya
    Ya, always make me laugh. That being said , it’s hard keeping up with ya. I’m trying watch every movie; ya do what you do. But I can’t and just found spooled; (your other show) keep doing what you’re doing!!! Love ya
  • tmarshall0067
    Love the Matinee’s
    A friend introduced me to your podcast and I have a condition that I had to binge all the shows. I burned through the shows and thought I had caught up. The matinee shows have taught that I haven’t and offer a great surprise each week. Thank you guys for the entertainment you give us.

    5 Stars
    I found this podcast on YouTube. I used to listen to some podcasts and then for Some time I did not listen to podcasts. Podcasts are a good thing to listen to while doing things or working. I watched modern family and found out Jesse Tyler Ferguson had a podcast. I listened to that podcast after having not listened to podcasts for awhile. Paul Sheer was on an episode. After that episode YouTube suggested I listen to hdtgm probably because algorithms. So I listened to some hdtgm. 5 stars.
  • iamcasesensitive
    One of the best!
    This show is continually hilarious. I recommend the Timecop episode had me howling. So funny. Paul, June, and Jason seem like genuinely good folks are hilarious together.
  • beebopamommy
    Love this show
    I save them up so I can have an entire day of Jason, Paul, and June I don’t know that I have ever seen any of the movies that they talk about but it’s absolutely not necessary. My mind’s eye based on their commentary is probably way better anyway
  • Timoppp
    Evolve over time, these hosts.
    It’s great
  • Yo0@Oo0o0O0o0o@o0O0oO@O0oO0@0
    Sooo… Question Mark?
    Why does Jason need to say pronunciation marks out loud? QUESTION MARK! Why does June do that insufferable uptalk thing with her voice so that every statement sounds like a… question? QUESTION MARK! Why are there utterly cringe-inducing audience members singing songs? QUESTION MARK! Sooo…. why does every question they make on here, including from the audience, all start with QUOTE “Sooo…”? QUESTION MARK! Otherwise, the show is pretty funny. PERIOD!
  • Outside In Balance
    Endless entertainment
    I read some reviews and just don’t understand why people dislike any of the hosts. Imo June Paul and Jason are great, pay no mind to the haters. I find myself laughing out loud often when I listen. Sometimes I try to watch the movie associated with an episode, when I do, I tend to laugh more while listening to the podcast because the jokes make more sense, the movies are so ridiculous it’s just fun to feel like you’re laughing with a group of friends. It’s not necessary to watch the movie(s) in order to enjoy the show though. On a rough day, listening to these three, and sometimes a fun guest, tends to improve my mood. Laughter feels good, FIVE STARS!

    Was all about it…
    But then found out it was only for idiots, too bad…
  • Nora811
    My favorite podcast of all time
    Always funny, can relisten to episodes over & over. Brings joy in a stressful world. Please never stop making them.
  • 00drewdog
    Please
    Please put the movie Boon on the list
  • emaildaniels
    never have emily heller back again
    her voice and condtant inane laughing at her own jokes on the lawnmower man episode was so annoying snd unfunny i had to turn it off, she has ruined what was once an enjoyable listen.
  • GetemJim
    Can’t Stop Laughing
    I’ve been a fan for over a decade. Jason is something special. Love you all and thanks for all the laughs.
  • SmitHouse
    Always Enjoyable
    Love this show, and have for years. Thank you all for the great comedy!
  • bean_machine_
    Yes
    Listen. I wish I could make this review as verbose and crass as it should be, but my employers have my information. I’ll leave it at this: keep it up.
  • Mikeysayshi
    Used to be Great
    The constant commercials and painful, user-submitted musical interludes have soured what used to be a great movie podcast.

    This was a perfect episode as always and your guest was hilarious. I’m checking out his special cuz of you guys.
  • bye wig!
    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    No one does it like these three and their brilliant guests. Simply hilarious!
  • FistyMcTaint69420
    A delight!
    Long time fan. You learn and you laugh. Wonderful people, wonderful podcast!
  • hjortians
    Love them
    To hear them is to love them. They have done the impossible, which is makes me want to see the movie Cats, amongst other terrible movies. I laughed out loud so many times to that episode!!
  • Oryx700
    June is the best!
    Love this podcast. Been listening for 8 years now. The live shows are amazing…. Get to a show if you can!
  • MPeeps0001
    Clever and Funny
    It’s like sitting with your favorite people and listening to them talk about a terrible movie. Always a great time. Thank you!
  • devil zilla
    Monkey Shines ep
    From Jan 29 2024. Fascinating and funny. The conversation beginning at 56:55 should be examined by PhDs and taught at Universities to demonstrate every possible way communication can break down. Everyone is talking past each other and June is assuming they boys have information they don’t. At 1:12:25 JM almost nails the question that needs to be asked of June, but does not receive a satisfactory answer. The question June must answer is, What would crediting multiple monkeys achieve that crediting one monkey does not?

    Laughing Out Loud Alone
    Listening to “How Did This Get Made” is like discovering a secret society where bad movies are the gateway to pure joy. One minute I’m driving to work, the next I’m contemplating starting a book club dedicated to the novelization of “Kazam.” Thanks to Paul, June, and Jason, I’ve developed a habit of randomly shouting “What’s up, jerks!” in grocery stores, and I’ve never been happier. This podcast didn’t just spice up my life; it convinced me that watching “Cats” on repeat is a valid life choice. Five stars!
  • mantis eats
    Jason is amazing- they’re all great !!
    The show is a joy. The smart movie nerd energy is amazing. Jason should be the next Will Ferrell. Jason makes this something unique and special. Such a smart and sweet team. Also I might add, some of the guests are glorious, Adam, Nick, Natasha just off of the top of my head, they all kill as guest stars. Paul has good nerdy cool energy and so does his lover and wife, June
  • Campingmatt
    Favorite podcast
    Feels like discussing insane movies with friends. Far and away my favorite podcast!
  • bdbino
    Great podcast, very funny!
    This podcast is hilarious! I love Jason, he comes out with the best lines. Paul and June are great too. The Hackers episode was one of my favorites. Two movies I recommend you guys do on the show are Executive Decision, and my favorite good/bad movie: Dirty Dancing.
  • shcnenieixbe wjxh
    Only Podcast I’ll Listen Too !
    Hands down my favorite podcast ! The people that work on this podcast do a fantastic job !
  • Scorpy II
    Jason funny, June not
    A great premise driven into the ground by a basic lack of research and preparation. Jason is a very funny person but Paul’s humor is formulaic after the first three shows. June, Paul’s wife, is on the show and is not funny. She gets progressively worse as the podcast goes along.
  • Kreigasaurus
    I keep listening
    I’ve listen to all the available episodes. After I listen to the new one and Matinee Monday episode, I often listen to 4-5 older episodes each week. Consistent laughs and fun!
  • ill J

    One of my favorite podcasts! Constantly listening to Paul, Jason, and June!

    Hit or miss
    June is not funny…… at all
  • spicymama
    Great
    I was bored at home and was tired of podcast until I heard this one. I love this show. I even went back and listened to two past years of past shows because they are funny.
  • Lilibiieidjfjkej
    What a gem!
    Absolutely hilarious! Thanks for all the laughs and making my life a bit less miserable. 😆
  • SHough61086
    My first favorite podcast
    I’ve been listening since episode 25 and the podcast remains hilarious. The admiration June, Paul, and Jason have for one another is palpable and makes the podcast even more enjoyable.
