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.
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.
This episode was pre-recorded back in June 2021. We join up once again with our Genre/Sub-genre expert, author Christopher Vander Kaay and discuss movies that present abandoned cities.

Let's just pretend we, The Movie Jerks, were perceptive for once.
