About This Movie Deserves Better

This Movie Deserves Better is for the movies that got done dirty. The sequels, the slashers, the weird little thrillers that critics shrugged off but you couldn’t stop thinking about. We’re here to rewatch, reframe, and rant—sometimes seriously, sometimes not. Expect scene dissections, thematic rabbit holes, and the occasional defence of whatever sequel, slasher, or thriller deserves a second look . Because sometimes, the cult classics haven’t been crowned yet.

Creep (2004) - This Isn't The One You're Thinking Of

This week we're going underground. Creep (2004) — not the found footage one. The other one. The really good one. A British horror film set entirely in the London Underground at night that has been buried under a name collision and not enough people have gone looking for it. This is not a so bad it's good episode. This is not a guilty pleasure defence. Creep 2004 is a genuinely good horror film with a real atmosphere, a villain performance that deserved far more attention than it received, and an ending that stays with you long after the credits roll. Full history and context of where British horror was in 2004, scene by scene breakdown, the stumbles — including a word about Transport for London's frankly alarming staff levels — and the full case for why Creep deserved better than the obscurity it's been sitting in. Plus the awards. Including a special mention for Ray the Jack Russell who came out of this completely unscathed and frankly deserves his own spin off. See it. Say it. Sorted. 🚇🔪 This Movie Deserves Better is a solo horror podcast championing the overlooked, the misunderstood, and the unfairly buried. New episodes every two weeks. Reviews and follows mean everything. 🎙️ Find us on socials: @tmdbpodcast

Jason X (2001) - Jason Goes to Space And It's Actually Brilliant

This episode exists because I saw a review online that was so wrong about this film I had to do something about it. No names. No drama. Just a podcast episode defending Jason Voorhees in space for forty five minutes. This week I'm making the case that Jason X is not the embarrassment the Friday the 13th fanbase has been pretending it is for twenty four years. It knew exactly what it was. It committed completely. And it contains some of the most inventive kills in the entire franchise. Full history of where the Friday the 13th franchise was by 2001, full scene by scene breakdown, the stumbles, and the complete defence of why Jason X deserves better than the punchline it became. Plus Kane Hodder's most physical performance in the role, the greatest thirty seconds in horror history, and a very specific award for Professor Lowe's unexpected self discovery. Episode 13. Unlucky for some. Not for Jason. This Movie Deserves Better is a solo horror podcast championing the overlooked, the misunderstood, and the unfairly buried.

episode Leprechaun in the Hood - The BEST in the Franchise artwork

Leprechaun in the Hood - The BEST in the Franchise

This week on This Movie Deserves Better, Col's making the case for Leprechaun in the Hood (2000) — the straight-to-video entry everyone wrote off and nobody defended. Until now. But is it really the bottom of the barrel... or the most complete film in the franchise? Warwick Davis in full hip-hop mode, Ice-T as a music mogul with a finger deficit, and a ending that reveals the Leprechaun has had bars the whole time. In this episode we dig into: The franchise history and how we got here. The gospel rap scene and why it works. The practical effects kill that genuinely holds up. The corrupting influence of the flute and what the film is actually saying about fame. Where it stumbles — and why it still deserves better, plus our usual deeply unserious awards.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
