Robin Hood (The One Where Taron Egerton Redistributes Wealth)

Elektra (The One Jennifer Garner Was Contractually Obligated To Make)

This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron tackle Elektra (2005), the Jennifer Garner spin-off that earned 11% on Rotten Tomatoes and pulled $57 million against a $43 million budget — the lowest gross for any Marvel adaptation since Howard the Duck. The guys debate whether you can twist your own neck off, whether this counts as a Christmas movie, and the awesomeness of Bob Sapp's hit(?) single, Sapp Time [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nw9UZgY83Lc].

Robin Hood (The One Where Taron Egerton Redistributes Wealth)

This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron tackle Robin Hood (2018), directed by Otto Bathurst and starring Taron Egerton, Jamie Foxx as Little John, and Ben Mendelsohn as the Sheriff of Nottingham. Egerton fires arrows fast enough to punch through helmets, Foxx works through an accent that won't stay in one country, and Mendelsohn dusts off the same shouty authoritarian he played in Rogue One. The guys debate the casting, the preachy script, confusing setting, and whether anyone is actually a Robin Hood fan. Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2528106/fan_mail/new]

Masters of the Universe (The One Where Dolph Lundgren Saves Courtney Cox)

This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron tackle Masters of the Universe (1987), the 21% Rotten Tomatoes He-Man adaptation that turned a $22 million budget into $17 million at the box office and helped bankrupt Cannon Films within months. Directed by Gary Goddard — his only feature credit before he left to design theme parks — the movie was hyped as the Star Wars of the 80s, then ran out of money mid-shoot and relocated its intergalactic war to a suburban American strip mall. Dolph Lundgren stars as a glistening, barely-dressed He-Man whose dialogue had to be re-recorded in post. Frank Langella, performing through a rubber Skeletor mask that visibly inflates when he breathes, later called this his favorite role.

Swept Away (The One That Ended Madonna's Acting Career)

This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron tackle Swept Away (2002), the Madonna vehicle that scored a 6% on Rotten Tomatoes and made back just $1 million of its $10 million budget. Directed by Guy Ritchie and starring his then-wife, the movie strands two terrible characters on a deserted island and asks the audience to root for them as a couple. Madonna won the Razzie for Worst Actress — her first of two that year. Spoiler: both hosts agree it's the worst movie either has ever seen.

Crossroads (The One Where Britney Spears Sings a Lot of Karaoke)

This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron tackle Crossroads (2002), the Britney Spears road trip vehicle that earned a 15% on Rotten Tomatoes but turned its $12 million budget into $60 million at the box office. Written by Shonda Rhimes and directed by the woman behind Half Baked and Billy Madison, the film follows three estranged high school friends — played by Spears, Zoe Saldana, and Taryn Manning — as they drive cross-country with a mysterious stranger to chase their dreams. The guys debate Dan Aykroyd's accent, Britney's status as the least convincing nerd in cinema history, and whether a karaoke crowd has ever been that enthusiastic about anything.
