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.
Liam Creswick ("The Debutants" and "YegDND") takes on the Movie Jerks Mystery Movie Challenge, bringing his favorite genre to the mix... Animated Films. And true to form, the movie picked turned out to be a little darker than we had expected.
We brought in boxing/kickboxing fitness trainer Lauren Forbes https://www.30minutehit.com/, to help us look at female action heroes. The film we ended up picking turned out to be a real cheap shot to the gut.
Artist of the month - Rebecca Lappa with her new single "Poison Rose". Be sure to check out her video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jx5Mr_BnEf8
Back from their Southern Alberta tour, Miklos Blackshaw and Shawn Gramiak delve right into two Dogma films. One titled "Dogma" written and directed by Kevin Smith, and one, a starter film of the Dogma 95 movement, Lars Von Trier's "The Idiots". One of these two films will be polarizing, while both will have the Jerks on opposing criticisms.
In what could be the longest 'discussion' in Movie Jerk history, Olav Rokne joins JP Fournier and Shawn Gramiak as they dive into the lurid subject of Oscar Bait films.
Also featuring our artist of the month, Tyler Gilbert.
We bring back Nathan Semenyna in good spirits, luring him in with his favorite genre, "Sports Films". He even claims that he does not know a sports film he does not like. Well... that is enough to inspire the Movie Jerks. Can we change Nathan's opinion about Sport Films with just one flick?
When director, Galen W.E. Pendleton ("Truckstop Bloodsuckers" and "Nightmare Island" series) picked SNL Alumni films as his Mystery Movie Category, he thought he would be in for a few genuine laughs. He would find out that would not be the case.
Artist of the month – Tyler Gilbert "Ghost Behind Your Mind"
In this episode, we bring in expert dog groomer, Jana Semeniuk (https://www.janasgrooming.net) and Bruderheim correspondent from ThreeSixtyAlberta (https://threesixtyalberta.com/) to look at two controversial dog films, "Show Dogs" and "White Dog".
David Husereau and Steven Sachse join the Movie Jerks to inform us of their up coming restaurant "The Writers Room". In return, we ask them to take on the Mystery Movie Challenge, with restaurant films as of the sub-genre.
Feature artist of the month: The Betty Alice Effect "Over My Head"
The Movie Jerks, JP Fournier and Shawn Gramiak invited the most positive person they know, the beloved Christian Zyp (CJSR's Moving Radio), to join them as they watch one of 2018 worst rated films. To be fair, they let Christian pick which movie they were going to watch from a pile of 20 unmarked DVD cases, each containing a different movie considered to be one of the worst of 2018. That's right, the Mystery Movie Challenge featuring the worst films of 2018!
What ends up getting selected and watched, is not only the worst movie of the year, but it is something so bad it has to be seen to be believed...but ideally, you don't want to see it for any reason.
This month's feature track is The Betty Alice Effect's "Over My Head"
