In 2006, an epic rock opera staring Jack Black and Kyle Gass gained cult status. That's right, this week Kim and Michael watched "Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny."

In 1996, Billy Zane got fit, threw on a purple leotard, and pranced around the screen as the title character in "The Phantom." How does it fare compared to today's big-budget action superhero movies? Hear what Kim and Michael have to say in this week's 3 minute random review!

Back in 1996, Demi Moore took a the biggest paycheck ever for an actress all the way to the bank for appearing in "Striptease."

So how did Michael manage to argue that this was a bad movie? Listen to the review from Kim and Michael, and see who did a better job saying this movie was good or bad!

Amy Adams shines in the new "The Woman In The Window" (2021). But does this Netflix thriller, which leans heavily into Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window" (1954), do enough to break free? Listen to hosts Kim and Michael debate this flick in well over 3 minutes (as usual).

In 2010, M. Night Shyamalan put out what he thought was his greatest movie.

It's time for a new Mortal Kombat movie! The new reboot of the film based on the popular video game series, "Mortal Kombat" (2021), available on HBO Max until May 23, focuses on world building and extreme gore.

Ron Howard's "Hillbilly Elegy," released on Netflix in November of 2020, features incredible performances by a cast led by Amy Adams and Glenn Close (who was nominated for both an Oscar and a Razzie). But it's controversy over it's portrayal of Appalachia and the "hillbilly" marred it from he beginning.

Listen to hear their take, and let us know what you think!

Back in 2010, Disney cast Jake Gyllenhaal in the lead role of "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time."

On the heels of last week's "365 Days" disaster, Kim and Michael followed it up with the widely popular "Fifty Shades of Grey" (2015). How did it compare, and was it any good on it's own?

A note on this week's episode: while Kim and Michael did their best to remove any specific references to the explicit content of this week's movie, the film itself may be upsetting to some listeners, and inappropriate for any younger listers. Therefore, we highly recommend adults only for this week's show. Last summer, Netflix premiered a highly controversial and sex-laden film, "365 Days" (2020). This Polish film based on a popular book series, is like "50 Shade of Gray" on steroids. What do Kim and Michael think of it? Listen to find out.

This week, Kim and Michael watched the new half human/half animated movie, "Tom and Jerry" (2021). Is this theatrical version of the beloved cartoon worth it? Hear what Kim and Michael have to say in this week's review!

This week, Kim and Michael mix things up with a movie-debate format, as one tries to argue that 2019's "X-Men: Dark Phoenix" is a good movie, while the other argues it's a bad movie. And, of course, all still within 3-ish minutes. Let us know what you think! Find us on Instagram and Facebook!

Tim Burton's 1996 spoof of old b-movies and Ed Wood films resulted in a massive cast. "Mars Attacks!" bombed at the box office, and Kim and Michael struggled to find any good in it. Thanks to Angela on Instagram for passing along this suggestion from her father Alan. Suggest a movie to us on Instagram or Facebook!

Thanks to Kristen on Instagram, Kim and Michael watched the 2006 Jack Black comedy, "Nacho Libre." This wrestling movie may have been questionably racist when it was released, but in today's woke culture, has it become too much? Let us know on Facebook and Instagram what you want us to watch next!

Thanks to Beth on Instagram, Kim and Michael got to enjoy Disney's first live-action musical, "Babes in Toyland" (1961). This romp through a nursery rhyme themed magical land, had zero magic. Let us know what you want us to watch by messaging us on Instagram and Facebook!

As we begin 2021, what better way than to watch a movie widely considered one of the worst of all time? Ed Wood's masterclass in horrible filmmaking, "Plan 9 From Outer Space" (1959), did not disappoint as Kim and Michael share their thoughts on this utter train wreck.

2020 was, for lack of a better descriptor, a year. In it, this podcast stated, and Kim and Michael watched 40 horrible movies.

Let us know on Instagram or Facebook.

1997's "Home Alone 3" is heavy on the violence, misogyny, and poorly crafted geopolitical subplot. This week's Christmas movie, suggested by Michael's friend Eric, failed to tick any boxes for Michael and Kim.

The 2020 Netflix movie "Holidate" may be a Rom-Com in every way, following expected tropes and cliches, but does that mean it's as bad as some people say? Kim and Michael share their feelings in this week's Christmas movie review. Follow us on Instagram! Find us on Facebook!

This 2018 rom-com, which focuses on a small-town cop who falls for a suspected diamond-thief during Christmas, is light of character development, comedy, romance, and anything of substance. Kim and Michael share their unhappiness in this week's Christmas review. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook to see what we're doing and suggest some bad movies for us!

In 1985, one movie had 5 montages and a full musical number by James Brown, plus a very large Russian, and Rocky Balboa. That movie was "Rocky IV," and Kim and Michael were not impressed but all of that. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook!

2016's "Suicide Squad" had all the hype of being a great movie, with an A-list cast including Will Smith and Margot Robbie. But even their good performances couldn't save this mess of a movie from continuing the DCU's poor showing on the big screen. Hear Kim and Michael break it down in their 3 minute review.

Before Marvel gave us a great movie, a movie version of a popular 1960's British TV show hit theaters in 1998, and even though it included Ralph Fiennes, Uma Thurman, and Sir Sean Connery, it was not a good movie. Listen to our 3 minute review to hear what Kim and Michael thought of it.

We wrap up October "Scream 3," that beat out fellow horror sequel "Halloween 4" to be our final Halloween movie. And while Kim and Michael haven't seen any of the previous Scream movies, they can easily see that this trilogy finale was failing.

October continues with a classic love story mashed together with zombies! It's 2016's "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies." This outlandish idea for a movie just couldn't seem to make anything work, and the movie barely held Kim's attention. Make sure to follow us on Instagram and let us know what you want us to review next!

As October rolls on, the votes came in for "Disney's Spooky Buddies," 2011's Halloween themed entry into the surprisingly large "Buddies" franchise. This direct-to-video entry features talking dogs, poor acting, a weak script, and terrible editing. Make sure to vote for our next movie on our Instagram page: 3minmoviereviews

It's October, and that means its time for Halloween themed movies. For our first foray into bad Halloween flicks, we asked you all to vote and you choose 2000's "Scary Movie" or the unknown rival, "Shriek If You Still Know What I Did Last Friday the 13th." And as Kim and Michael share in this review, "Scary Movie" has not aged well. Make sure to keep an eye on our Instagram so you can vote on what Halloween movie we should be doing next! www.instagram.com/3minmoviereviews

2019's "The Goldfinch," based on the novel by Donna Tartt, was panned by critics. But this almost 3 hour movie was plenty good enough for Kim and Michael! Don't forget to check us out on Instagram, where you can vote on our October Halloween Movie Fights!

1995 saw a classic entry into the video game turned movie class: "Mortal Kombat." It has epic music and fight scenes, but does that make it any good?

Dave Bautista's new feature, available on Amazon Prime, has received a 47% on Rotten Tomatoes, but overall, Michael found it enjoyable. Did Kim agree, and break Michael down?

Back in 1986, George Lucas teamed up with Marvel comics and made the infamous "Howard the Duck." It was not a good movie, and we'll tell you why.

2018's "Gotti," staring John Travolta as the titular New York City mobster boss, failed to accomplish any task other than becoming our first movie that has earned a 0% ratting on Rotten Tomatoes.

Kim needed a pallet cleanser, so here's a special bonus episode of a GOOD MOVIE! 2012's "Skyfall," considered by these two film fans as the best of Bond, includes stellar performances, a well executed script, and complex characters.

We've come to the end of a month of bad Bond films, and finish with 1985's "A View To A Kill." Roger Moore's final outing as Bond was easily the worst of the franchise, as even Christopher Walken couldn't save this poorly written and acted escapade.

As we continue a month of reviewing bad James Bond movies, we find ourselves at 1983's "Octopussy." The second to last Roger Moore film may have been engrossing to watch, but in review, had several issues including one-dimensional characters, and a fatherly looking James Bond.

As we continue a month of bad Bond movies, we now watch and review 1974's "The Man With The Golden Gun." Roger Moore's second outing at Ian Fleming's James Bond was full of "WTF" moments and useless characters, but Kim and Michael still found something enjoyable in the vintage film.
