Game For A Movie

A movie about reviving corpses and lost journals. Also throw in some demons and gargoyles too. To coincide with The Bride (yes I'm a little delayed) we watch a Frankenstein movie! I, Frankenstein had a good concept. So what went wrong? Mike tells you all about it in the latest episode!

The Winter Olympics are over but you, the audience chose a hockey movie for me to watch in it's honor. From the people who brought us Air Bud, let's watch a kid's movie about a chimpanzee playing hockey. How does he learn to play so quickly? Will the Nuggets win the Harvest Cup? Will Mike like this movie? All these answers and more in this latest episode!

The first bad movie of 2026 and it's a fun one! With Return to Silent Hill coming out this week, we enter Silent Hill. Sergio joins Mike in the fog and we go over this stinker. With a who's who of a cast, what could go wrong? A lot honestly. Featuring a concept Mike thought was outstanding, how did they mess this one up? Dive into Silent Hill with us.

Starting the year off right with the Movie Quiz of 2025! Heath, Jamari, Mitchell and Zach take Mike's Quiz. Will Mitchell defend his title or will one of the three knock him off his pedestal? Play along and tell us your scores! Maybe you can play along next year!

I know it's November but Spoopy season hasn't finished yet! Mickey Mouse (from Steamboat Willie) as a deranged killer running amok in an arcade? Weird but I'm in. I knew from the first time I heard about it I needed this movie in my life. And no, I don't regret it. But you might so listen in on the blood soaked chaos of a teleporting Mickey Mouse.

3rd episode of Spoopy Season! Another public domain character in a horror movie. This time it's Popeye the Sailor Man and Olive Oyl. Popeye's Revenge is another ITN Distribution movie featuring much of the same cast as Fairest of Them All. Does that equal fun? Not really. Honestly there are so many better ways they could have gone with this. Mike tells you all about it in this latest episode!

Second episode of Public Domain Spoopy season and we have multiple characters! Zach, Amber, Howard and Mike cover Fairest of Them All. Princesses forced to fight to the death? Sounds epic! Well, how did it do? Maybe not as expected. Listen to the battles and more. Also use code GFAM on LiQure to get 20% any orders on LiQure gummies to save you from your own hangovers. And of course drink responsibly.

It's my favorite time of year! Spoopy season is here! This year's theme is public domain characters in horror movies. To start it off we have Cinderella. We all know the classic tale. Well her Fairy Godmother encourages violence and Cinderella goes full send. Is it a good start to Spoopy Season or are we on a bad road? Listen and find out now!

Swimfan costs money so we swapped to a different stalker movie. Still that same bad stalker taste in a different package. 2019's The Fanatic directed by Fred Durst and starring John Travolta is a trainwreck. But did Zach and Mike find some good in it? Maybe a little bit.Also if you use code GFAM on a purchase from the Harpoon Brewery eStore, you save 25%! Harpoon Brewery is where this show was thought up. So we would love to support it right back!

If you are anything like Amber or I, it's time to ruin your childhood! We covered Master of Disguise and Zach (first time watcher, long time podcaster) joins us on our rewind. Do we still have love for this movie? Maybe. Maybe not. Hear how we hide in plain sight and review Master of Disguise!

By far the worst movie of 2025 so far and it's not even close. Mike takes us through how Amazon will save us all from an alien invasion. How Ice Cube is as a parent (acting wise I don't know personally). And if you download this episode, you won't get hacked.

It's been 10 years so it is time for another Fantastic Four movie! But we are covering the 2015 one, you know Fant4stic. Also it's our 100th episode! A ton of bad movies have made up our show. This one might have broken Zach. Maybe me too but not as much.

This was supposed to be a boring movie. Well we pivoted to a fun ass movie. It's dumb, it's fun and it's bad. Real bad. just when you thought it was safe to go back to the water park, Aquaslash is out there. Blades in a waterslide killing victims? Why not?

After 3 pretty fun movies, the Fear Street series took a nose dive in this one. 80's prom, killer on the loose, and based on the works of RL Stine, how did this go wrong? Mike delivers the details and crowns a winner in this latest episode.

The Maple Leafs have been eliminated from the playoffs again. So why not curl up with The Love Guru who sets his sights on fixing a Maple Leafs star player. At least in the movie world. Talk about offensive stereotypes, short jokes and dicks. A whole lotta dicks. Like a whole lot. The Love Guru, I watched it so you don't have to.

I know what you are thinking, Mike why are you doing a sequel on one of your least listened to episodes? Well because Thunderbolts* came out this week and a team-up movie feels just right. The sequel to Avengers Grimm involves time travel*, magical powers*, and great fight sequences*. 8% on Rotten Tomatoes so buckle up for your favorite fairy tale characters to be super heroic*!* = sort of

This episode is a double feature on Nicole Kidman! Yes it was supposed to be a different movie, but you now get a 2-for-1 deal. The Stepford Wives and Holland both are not good and deserved the GFAM treatment. Mike also plays a game throughout the episode, let's see if you spot it.

We love the Razzies here at GFAM. Mike got the special privilege to talk with John Wilson, the co-founder of the awards. Truthfully, it was an honor to talk with him and hear some of his stories. Hear some of the history of the Golden Raspberries and some thoughts on this year's nominees. Plus we talk about some nominees from previous years we don't agree with.Interested in the history of the Razzies? Check out the iMDB page with all the history of the prestigious award: https://www.imdb.com/event/ev0000558/2025/1/

In time for Valentine's Day, we have one of the worst Rom-Coms of all-time. Accidental Love had a great team of actors but squandered all of it. Turns out it was pieced together a couple years after it was filmed which now makes total sense. If you got a nail embedded in your head, what would you do to get it removed? Find out the answer to that and more from Accidental Love.

After two technical issues while recording, we are finally live with this strange start to the year. Don Peyote was written by, directed by and starring Dan Fogler. It features several big names that make you wonder why they even bothered (including one that may have lost a bet). And it's chosen because of Topher Grace and his new movie out this week Flight Risk which I'm actually excited about. This one, not so much. So grab a fruit bong and join Mike talking about Don Peyote!

We made it to 2025! Like we have been doing, we close out 2024 with a quiz recap of all that happened in movies and TV, as well as look to the future. Zach, Heath and Mitchell take Mike's Quiz and show their knowledge of pop culture in 2024. Play along and share your scores with us @GameForAMovie or #GFAM

Alright this was supposed to be Turkey Day, an animated movie from 2020. However, that was unwatchable. But I offer you a deal. This episode gets 50 downloads, not plays, in 48 hours and I will watch both Turkey Day and Turkey Day 2. Plus, you get to enjoy this episode on the Netflix original Lift! Full of big names and a heist movie to boot should have made this one succeed. Nope. That's not always how it works. Talent does not equal good. Hear about the shortcomings of Lift in this, our 90th episode!

Not to get political but with the election happening this month, it felt like the right time for a bad political thriller. Truthfully, not awful. Still bad. 1 too many twists and that's what brings you The Double. Can Richard Gere, Topher Grace and Martin Sheen save this movie? Not really no.

This did it. This movie broke me. I had watched this movie a week before recording and I was still angry when I talked about it. I go full rage mode on this one. You do not want to miss the end. One of the worst horror movie sequels of all-time. So lots of thoughts. Find out all the thoughts about the movie that should be called "I Still Know What You Did Two Summers Ago."

This bad movie won an Oscar! I know it's hard to believe. It also is the 2nd attempt to launch the Universal Dark Universe, which there have been 4 attempts so far. This one, might be my favorite of the attempts. So maybe this bad movie isn't really that bad. Check out this episode and find out!

What was supposed to be a small role became the main selling point on this movie for Robert DeNiro. Was it obvious? Maybe? But this movie is far from a Godsend. Evil kid is perfectly in time for the birth of Mike's son. So nailed it on the timing again for an episode. With a star studded cast, what went wrong? Mike goes over all the details.

It is the start of Spoopy Season! This one is actually special to me. I'm from Downers Grove, IL and they made a crappy horror movie that is about my town but wasn't filmed in my town. Of course I had to watch it. So hear about the non-curse curse movie that is more a teen drama and home invasion film than a curse film. But you know there's still a curse after all.

There have been 5 Crow movies. This is the 4th one and...um...it's something. A cast list full of names you'd recognize and an all-time awful performance from Dennis Hopper. Maybe the worst performance ever given in a movie. Well Mike takes us through it all.

Alright so does this count as a bad movie? Usually go for under 40 on both ratings on Rotten Tomatoes. I saw it when it only had 3% critics score. So I feel this counts. Borderlands had none of the fun of the game and all the script of an elementary school student. Hear all of Mike's thoughts on this dumpster fire. Spoilers for sure!

Only a week late for Father's Day unlike my Mother's Day episode. Find Owen Wilson and Ed Helms' father with me! The bad movie this time is Father Figures. Overall, not terrible. However some aspects definitely kill the movies momentum. Place your bets who you think the father is ahead of time!

Happy Mother's Day! Only like 3 weeks late. In honor of the holiday, Mike watched Stacy's Mom. Spoiler alert: it sucked and didn't feature a certain song from Fountains of Wayne. One of the positives? They stuck to budget. Maybe that's not good.

Episode 80! So let's talk about a movie that is exactly what you would expect. Piranhas, skin and water park filled with killer fish. What more could you want? Mike breaks it all down.

Happy Valentine's Day to you all! We have a special bad Rom-Com for you. It's From Justin to Kelly! A movie made for the winner and runner-up of the first season of American Idol. What are Mike's thoughts on it? Also what is believable/unbelievable in it?

One of the worst movies released in January of all-time Alone in the Dark. Also a big focus on Uwe Boll, the director. Hear all about this crazy guy and the movie he decided to make about the video game series.

Never too late to talk some Christmas movies. Ok seriously Mike fell behind editing. But now it's up! We talk a whole bunch of movies like Die Hard in theatres, Dream Scenario, Candy Cane Lane, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off and more. We go on an Adam Sandler tangent because why not. And we talk about true Chanukah movies.

Happy New Year! We close out 2023 with the quiz of the year. All of the moments of TV and Movies that made 2023 what it was. Play along and see if you can beat the GFAM members. Let us know your thoughts on rounds or your score @gameforamovie everywhere!

Wee Man tried to break into Family friendly movies. Like this Christmas...classic? How does Mike feel about this one? Well he has some thoughts. Look up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a Troll!

Wow! We have a special Halloween Bad Movie episode for you. This on The Haunting (1999) featuring Liam Neeson, Catherine Zeta Jones, Owen Wilson and Lili Taylor. With a cast like that, what could go wrong? Well a lot apparently. Zach and Mike take you on a deep dive through ghost children, bad CGI and beheadings.

The whole GFAM is back! It's not just an Urban Legend. Well maybe it is. And Bloody Mary is the main legend covered in this bad movie. Get a blow by blow of Urabn Legends: Bloody Mary. Does Kate Mara attempt in this movie? Who killed Mary Banner? Why is Grace easily the best character? Listen in to find out!

It's a Friday the 13th in October. Which means bad horror movie time. Jim and Mike cover what Jim thinks is the worst Friday the 13th movie. Jason Takes Manhattan! Armed with a hockey mask and a Manhattan, the boys tackle the best kills, toxic waste and more.

5 bad horror movie episodes coming out this month. This is the first one! It's called The Silence. Starring Stanley Tucci and Kiernan Shipka. Basically A Quiet Place but worse. Hear Mike's thoughts on this Netflix original. Plus learn what a Vesp is.

Rare birds, dumb poachers, blue building enthusiasts? Yep this one has it all. Bad jokes abound. Woody Woodpecker impression fails and more. Including why this movie is #1 on Netflix in the US right now. Check out Mike's thoughts on this wacky bird and this bad kid's movie.

Mr. Police I gave you the episode. You could have listened. Mike takes us through another stinker. This one is 2017's The Snowman. Watch when Mike's excitement turned to dread for this movie. Also the streak Michael Fassbender was on before and after this movie.

Mike is joined by special guest Jim to discuss 2015's Hot Pursuit. What did this movie make us think? And feel? We give it a new tagline. We compare it to things on the internet and more.

It's Blockbuster season so we need a failed Blockbuster movie for a bad movie episode. So here is 2014's Transcendence! A movie starring Johnny Depp, Rebecca Hall, Morgan Freeman, Cillian Murphy, Kate Mara and Paul Bettany. How could this go wrong? Well pretty easily apparently, they forgot a good storyline.

Multiverses aplenty. Cocaine? A little. And many Spider-beings! We banter about The Flash and The Flashpoint Paradox, Cocaine Bear and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse. Plus we also reveal the best 4th of July films to watch.

Unfortunately that title is true. But incest in a...fun way I guess? Jill and Mike talk about Quasi, The Night Agent, Queen Charlotte and even some video games. Oh and of course incest. Find out why, now!

The gang's back together! We have reviews of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor (Honour?) Among Thieves, Air and of course the Super Mario Brothers movie. We also talk about what's next for the Super Smash Universe. All of this while waiting for Jarnathan.

Mike has watched 24 bad movies for this podcast so far. Now seemed like as good a time as any to go back and rank them from best bad movie to worst bad movie. Hear a synopsis for each as well as why it was positioned the way it was. We hope you enjoy this look back!

Sarah Jessica Parker, Harry Connick Jr. and Johnny Knoxville?!? How could this movie fail? Well Mike is here to tell you how. It's a combo Valentine's Day/St. Patrick's Day episode since the Irish mob is involved too (wish I was kidding). We also give a shoutout to our friends Explain It Me Podcast.
