The Gen X Files 276 - For the Stepdads: Not So Terrible 2s

The Gen X Files 280 - June Doom V: Awful '80s

Join your ol' Stepdads as we discuss awful movies and try to prove that the three movies we watched this month were the worst movies or if there are movies that are worse. Spoiler alert: there isn't. We also discuss America's upcoming birthday, as well as the movies, TV, and video games we've been playing, or are excited about.

The Gen X Files 279 - The Wizard

You know, after The Garbage Pail Kids Movie and Mac and Me, we really thought that The Wizard was going to be the best of the month and boy, oh boy, were we wrong. A 90 minute commercial for Nintendo that can't even do that right, The Wizard is directed by Todd Holland and stars Fred Savage, Jenny Lewis, Beau Bridges, and Christian Slater.

The Gen X Files 278 - Mac and Me

We didn't think something could be worse than The Garbage Pail Kids Movie, but boy howdy were we wrong. No complaints about the cast; they did what they could with a script (?), lazy direction, and a producer that wanted everything yesterday. Throw in the constant McDonald's sponsorship and aliens with butthole mouths that treat Coca-Cola like the elixir of life, and you've got the long-running joke from Paul Rudd that is Mac and Me. Starring Christine Ebersole, Jade Calegory, Jonathan Ward, Tina Caspary, and Lauren Stanley.

The Gen X Files 277 - The Garbage Pail Kids Movie

Welcome to June Doom V! This June, we're covering some of the worst disasters of the '80s! First up, it's The Garbage Pail Kids Movie, the awful adaptation of a trading card series that not only doesn't make sense, it's one of the most unsettling movies ever made. Starring Mackenzie Astin, Anthony Newley, and Katie Barberi, with Phil Phondacaro, Jim Cummings, and Debbie Lee Carrington.
