From pranks to life lessons, it’s a classic setup with that signature Disney charm. But we also go deeper—because revisiting this movie today comes with a more complicated lens.

Sidekicks (1992) - SO BAD THEY'RE GOOD REVIEW

Step into the dojo of ‘90s nostalgia as All2ReelToo’s So Bad They’re Good series kicks into high gear with a look at Sidekicks (1992)! This cult classic follows Barry Gabrewski, a bullied teen with a wild imagination and one ultimate dream—to become the sidekick to martial arts legend Chuck Norris. When fantasy starts to collide with reality, Barry takes matters into his own hands, training in martial arts to find confidence, courage, and maybe even his own spotlight. Starring Jonathan Brandis, Beau Bridges, Mako, Joe Piscopo, and Danica McKellar—with Chuck Norris playing himself—this episode dives into the film’s blend of fantasy sequences, heartfelt moments, and gloriously cheesy action. Is it inspiring? Is it ridiculous? Is it both? We break down everything that makes Sidekicks a perfectly imperfect gem in the “so bad it’s good” hall of fame. #All2ReelToo #SoBadItsGood #Sidekicks1992 #ChuckNorris #90sMovies #CultClassics #MartialArtsMovies #MoviePodcast #FilmReview #Nostalgia #BadMoviesGoodFun * Listen now: all2reeltoo.com [https://all2reeltoo.com] 🎬 Support the show: * Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/cullenpark/membership [https://www.patreon.com/c/cullenpark/membership] * Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/user/cullenpark [https://www.teepublic.com/user/cullenpark] 🎙️ Catch Mike's captivating chats on: * Pop Culture Junkie discussing the 1983 V Miniseries: https://popculturejunkie.com/podcast/looking-at-v-with-michael-e-cullen/ [https://popculturejunkie.com/podcast/looking-at-v-with-michael-e-cullen/] * Movie Smash Podcast discussing #GhostWorld (2001): https://www.movie-smash.com/episodes/episode/32534003/episode-18-ghost-world-2001-special-guest-michael-e-cullen-ii-from-the-all2reeltoo-podcast [https://www.movie-smash.com/episodes/episode/32534003/episode-18-ghost-world-2001-special-guest-michael-e-cullen-ii-from-the-all2reeltoo-podcast] * Film Talk with Jordan Ramirez, chatting about #Once (2007): https://youtu.be/fubJGxZ3NSU?si=ptSlTewm72LTVspQ [https://youtu.be/fubJGxZ3NSU?si=ptSlTewm72LTVspQ] * Spoiler Alert with Ryan Moore and Matt discussing #MadameWeb: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRXjJGtzdlU [https://all2reeltooapop.transistor.fm/episodes/www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRXjJGtzdlU] * Spoiler Alert with Ryan Moore discussing #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHvsYPsvLBM&t=1471s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHvsYPsvLBM&t=1471s] * The Family Fright Night Horror Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7kstbpDOnLQeI8BQGLzina [https://open.spotify.com/episode/7kstbpDOnLQeI8BQGLzina] 🎶 Enjoy eerie tunes by host Matthew Haase - https://www.youtube.com/@LimitlessMatt [https://www.youtube.com/@LimitlessMatt] 💰 Support us on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/CullenPark [https://www.patreon.com/CullenPark], shop our spooktacular merch - http://tee.pub/lic/CullenPark [http://tee.pub/lic/CullenPark], and catch Mike on The Nerdball Podcast - https://pod.fo/e/ba2aa [https://pod.fo/e/ba2aa] 🙏 Help fund our friend Mark Klein's funeral: https://www.gofundme.com/f/honoring-mark-kleins-legacy [https://www.gofundme.com/f/honoring-mark-kleins-legacy] 💪 Make a difference with these organizations: * Palestine Children's Relief Fund: https://www.pcrf.net/information-you-should-know/how-to-help-palestine.html [https://www.pcrf.net/information-you-should-know/how-to-help-palestine.html] * Trans Lifeline: https://translifeline.org/ [https://translifeline.org/] * The Hotline: https://www.thehotline.org/ [https://www.thehotline.org/] * Matthew Perry Foundation: https://matthewperryfoundation.org/ [https://matthewperryfoundation.org/] * The Trevor Project: https://www.thetrevorproject.org/ [https://www.thetrevorproject.org/] * HRC Foundation: https://www.hrc.org/hrc-story/hrc-foundation [https://www.hrc.org/hrc-story/hrc-foundation] * Point Foundation: https://pointfoundation.org/ [https://pointfoundation.org/] * Direct Relief: https://www.directrelief.org/ [https://www.directrelief.org/] * NAACP Legal Defense Fund: https://www.naacpldf.org/ [https://www.naacpldf.org/] * Black Voters Matter Fund: https://www.blackvotersmatterfund.org [https://www.blackvotersmatterfund.org] * Tahirih Justice Center: https://www.tahirih.org/ [https://www.tahirih.org/] * Mona Foundation: https://www.monafoundation.org/ [https://www.monafoundation.org/] Learn more about your ad choices.
