Have you ever seen a movie so bad that you decide you had to show all your friends and loved ones so they can experience the same negative experience that you have suffered through. Comedians JP Fournier and Shawn Gramiak have taken sharing cinematic nasties to a whole new level. Each week they and their guest choose a movie for the other to watch, exploring the dark, scary, confusing, and sometimes pathetic world of bad movies. They are The Movie Jerks.
Halloween is the perfect time to catch up on our classic MGM, Hammer, and other brand of monster flicks. In this episode, Valarie Savard is back on the show to pick a mystery monster flick. Will we pick your favorite monster?
In this episode we take a request from returning guest Liam Leroux, who asked us to persuade Chris Vander Kaay into watching an Ernest P Worrell film. He gladly accepted the challenge and turned the episode into an exploration into clueless heroes. So time to honour some dummies.
We reunite with our beloved comic friend Winston Herbert and dive into the ever adapting subgenre of Body Swapping movies. Our Mystery Movie pick this time might have been one of the more disappointing films.
