Showgirls "or" Spice World? Reefer Madness "or" Robot Monster? battlefield Earth "or" The Black Gestapo?
One reviewer's relentless search for the most appalling abomination ever to disgrace the screen--at the rate of one movie a day . . . for a year
For every cinematic classic the studios have released, there have been dozens of cheesy monstrosities, overpriced flops, and schlocky epics. Rampaging robots, bouncing bimbos, moronic martial artists, vapid vampires, troubled teens, barbaric bikers, and idiotic infants--all of these, and more, have been foisted on us in the name of "entertainment." And entertaining they are--for all the wrong reasons
Featuring a cast of thousands, including A-listers like Brad Pitt and Sandra Bullock in their Z-grade origins, and firsthand interviews with bad-movie aficionados, from Leonard Maltin and David Sedaris to John Waters and Eli Roth, this odyssey charts one intrepid critic's attempt to maintain a normal family life and two day jobs as he watches hundreds of dreadful tapes and DVDs in every conceivable genre. Even movie buffs will be surprised by what they can learn as they laugh out loud at the worst of the worst.
With a foreword by revered "Night of the Living Dead" director George A. Romero, "Showgirls," "Teen Wolves," and "Astro Zombies" is an unforgettable journey deep into film's forbidden vault of irredeemable crud. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
