After a seven month hiatus fueled almost entirely by greed and laziness, George and Richard return with their first episode of a new season of Worst Scene. Feel the adventure. Taste the entertainment. In this episode they choose the worst scene from Violent Night, possibly the best movie ever made about Santa Claus killing people (for good reasons) vs Silent Night, Deadly Night, definitely the worst movie ever made about Santa Clause killing people (for bad reasons).
Oscar Season isn't over, here at Worst Scene it's only just begun. George and Richard kick off a month of Oscar pairings, discussing the worst scene in Baz Luhrmann's stylish, fun Elvis, the film that convinced Austin Butler to spend the rest of his life greeting everyone he meets with "hey little mama" vs the best scene in Bryan Singer's lifeless, depressing Bohemian Rhapsody, the one and only piece of media to ever make Freddie Mercury seem boring. Chaki the Funk Wizard guest stars.
Worst Scene returns with a special double length Valentine's Day Episode to kick-off Erotic Thriller Month: we discuss the worst scene in 9 1/2 Weeks vs the best scene in 50 Shades of Grey. Are either of these films any good? Will Richard and George faint from embarrassment while discussing them? Who is sexier, young hot Mickey Rourke or bland bdsm businessman Jamie Dornan (Should have been named Boreman, am I right?)? Only one way to find out.
Thanksgiving isn't over until we say it's over so join the Worst Scene family as we discuss the scenes we're least thankful for from Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, the best Thanksgiving film ever made vs the scenes we're most thankful for from Dutch, a movie that makes Richard almost wish that Ed O'Neill was a washed up shoe salesman who never got the chance to become an actor and whose high school glory days are long behind him.
In this 68th episode of Worst Scene we return for our second edition of Octobula by comparing the worst scene in 1985's Fright Night, a film about the number one sexiest vampire of all time vs 2009's The Twilight Saga: New Moon, a film about the number four sexiest vampire of all time.
In this 67th episode of Worst Scene we kick off Octobula by comparing the worst scene in 1987's The Lost Boys, the first movie to truly teach us how incredibly sexy Kiefer Sutherland can be vs the best scene in 2008's Twilight, the first film since Nosferatu to capture just how much vampires love baseball.
In this 66th episode of Worst Scene, we compare the worst scene in Michael Mann's brilliant 1995 film Heat (starring Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino) to 2008's Righteous Kill, a "film" (starring Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino) that was directed by the devil himself in an attempt to frustrate and kill God.
In this 65th episode of Worst Scene, we return to the world of big metal birds with bombs strapped to them as we put the worst scene in 2022's Top Gun Maverick, a movie that deserves every ounce of success it's so far received, up against the best scene in 1988's Iron Eagle 2, a film that enabled the mob bosses who funded it to successfully launder millions of dollars.
In this 64th episode of Worst Scene, we look at two movies about jumping into a big plane and flying around as we pit the worst scene in 1986's Top Gun, a movie that makes flying for the Navy look cool and badass vs the best scene in 1986's Iron Eagle, a movie that makes flying for the Air Force look like the B plot in a particularly bad episode of the A-Team.
In this 63rd episode of Worst Scene, we look at two movies about rich old pervs who offer to pay lots of money to sleep with gfs, wives, and fiancées: we compare the worst scene in 1992's Honeymoon in Vegas, starring James Caan as a rich old perv vs the best scene in 1993's Indecent Proposal, starring Robert Redford as a rich old perv.
In this 62nd episode of Worst Scene, George and Richard discuss two movies named after locations in San Francisco, putting the worst scene of The Rock, starring Sean Connery in arguably the best James Bond film of the 1990s vs the best scene in The Presidio, starring Sean Connery in arguably the worst film about diamond smuggling military crime rings of the 1980s. This episode also includes the first – and definitely not last – edition of the Xander Experience.
In our 61st episode of Worst Scene we look at two movies about alternate lives and universes, comparing the worst scene in Everything Everywhere All at Once, one of the most spectacular films of the last decade vs the best scene in Cloud Atlas, a movie that definitely exists, for better or worse.

In our 60th episode of Worst Scene we look at two movies about King Rs: King Richard, a movie about how a driven, charming lunatic raised the two greatest tennis players of all time vs King Ralph, a movie that exists and stars a deeply charming man who no reasonable person could object to having as their king.
In the most special episode of Worst Scene yet, George and Richard are joined by Director Steve De Jarnatt as they discuss the worst scene in his brilliant 1988 film Miracle Mile vs the best scene in 1985's Gotcha!, the film which literally inspired the Gotcha! The Sport! video game for NES. George's brother Dan also guest stars in his recurring role as George's brother Dan.
Book of Boba Fett episode 3 was what the guys were asking for in concept, but the execution of it was not nearly as rewarding as what they hoped for. In this week's review the guys break down the various different things in the episode that either didn't work well or just turned out to be underwhelming.SPOILERS.Fighting a wookie, bringing in a rancor, and a “speeder chase,” were not enough to make this episode hit the level of entertainment that this show should be able to achieve. In its 38 minute run time, chapter 3 of the Book of Boba Fett is not atrocious but rather just average. However, there are certain intellectual properties that should never settle for average and Star Wars is one such property. Let us know what you think of the Book of Boba Fett in the comments and let us know how we are doing on our reviews and analysis.Watch Ep. 2 Review on YouTube HEREWatch this Episode on YouTubeBuy Zach's newest book, Something Strange at Grandma's House: https://www.steellakestudio.com/booksSign up for our E-MAIL LIST: https://www.steellakestudio.com/emailTIMESTAMPS0:00 Welcome0:47 General Impressions4:25 What We Wanted?7:43 Tatooine's Water Supply Solved10:28 Hipster Android Friends13:31 The Rancor…15:49 What is the Show's Identity?19:00 The Worst Scene in the Show so Far23:27 War is Coming28:46 Final Score and ConclusionThank you so much for checking out Parallel Quest.

In this very special edition of Worst Scene we celebrate our frequent guest host Dan's bachelor party by watching two 80s movies about geriatrics. Listen to us debate the worst scene in Ron Howard's Cocoon, a movie about DTC ETs who want to take you up in their UFOs vs the best scene in Tough Guys, a movie about two old tough guys who happen to be Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas.
We take the WWWD (what would Wario do?) approach for this ep and explore the somehow neglected concept of mixing people ashes with liquor. We also fly our competition to the moon, literally? Not making any guarantees... but yes we do.
There's a full moon out tonight on this episode of Worst Scene as we look at the worst scene in An American Werewolf in London, John Landis' 1981 classic horror comedy vs the best scene in American Werewolf in Paris, a film about bungie jumping that also has werewolves in it.
In this 44th episode of Worst Scene your co-hosts Richard Something and George Sukara compare the worst scene in Drew Goddard's scary + funny Cabin in the Woods to the best scene in the neither scary nor funny 2016 remake of 2002's Cabin Fever. With very special guest host Max Radbill, director of 2020's Re-Elected, another horror movie about people hanging out in a cabin that is a lot better than Cabin Fever.
In this 41st episode of Worst Scene, your co-hosts and beloved national treasures George and Richard are joined by comedian and sometimes guest host Land Smith as they discuss the Worst Scene in James Gunn's wonderful 2021 film The Suicide Squad versus the Best Scene in David Ayer's atrocious 2016 film Suicide Squad, a movie that would probably have been really cool to a certain kind of 45 year old white man back in 2004. Come along with us on this in-depth look at maybe the quickest reboot in the history of cinema.
Nighttime has fallen upon Worst Scene as we discuss two films that mostly take place after the sun disappears into a cave or wherever it goes when it's dark outside: 1985's After Hours, Martin Scorsese's dark, kooky comedy that is by far his best film that co-stars Cheech and Chong, vs 1985's Into the Night, John Landis' dark, kooky, not quite as funny comedy that – despite star turns from Jeff Goldblum and Michelle Pfeiffer – was his first box office bomb.
What movie just wrecked you emotionally?
It's a very special Prince episode of Worst Scene as your co-hosts George and Richard are joined by Chaki the Funk Wizard to discuss the worst scene in Prince's classic 1984 film Purple Rain vs the best scene in 1986's goofy, fun, and far less popular Under the Cherry Moon.
In this 33rd episode of Worst Scene your bodacious co-hosts George and Richard are joined by a very special guest: Rick Moranis' personal bodyguard and comedian Chad Opitz. With him they discuss the worst scene in Little Shop of Horrors, the best movie ever made about a violent, singing plant (at least to our knowledge) vs Spaceballs, the best movie ever made that includes a scene with a giant spaceship shaped like the Statue of Liberty holding a vacuum cleaner.
In this 32nd episode of Worst Scene your lovable co-hosts are joined by the lovable co-hosts of another podcast making this our first quad-hosted episode. We talk about the worst scene in Wayne's World, the most successful SNL film ever made vs the best scene in Stuart Saves His Family, the second least successful SNL film ever made, but one that has such a kind central character that it's almost hard to say anything mean about it.
In this 31st episode of Worst Scene, the roles of your beloved hosts George and Richard are voiced by a surprise guest host. They also compare the worse scene in Scott Pilgrim vs the World, a movie whose title wrecks their usual episode naming convention vs the best scene in Highlander a movie with fight choreography so lacking that every duel appears to be taking place between two people who just found some swords on the ground.
In this 30th episode of Worst Scene, your majestic co-hosts George and Richard pit the worst scene in Robin Hood, a 1991 film about British people that stars fewer British people than any Hollywood movie made in at least fifteen years vs the best scene in Waterworld, a 1995 film that sets out to prove that the post-apocalypse need not be very interesting or exciting.
In this 29th episode of Worst Scene, your widely respected co-hosts George and Richard honor the memory of Charles Grodin by comparing two of his films: Midnight Run, the best buddy cop movie ever made about two buddies who aren't cops vs Clifford, a movie you may be shocked to learn does not involve a big red dog.
In this 28th episode of Worst Scene, living gods Richard Something and George Sukara discuss two movies that have the word "Drive" in their titles: Drive, Nicholas Winding Refn's 2011 film about Ryan Gosling being a beautiful badass vs Drive Angry, a 2011 film starring Nicholas Cage as a man who never really seems all that angry when he's driving.
In this 27th episode of Worst Scene, your cherished co-hosts Richard Something and George Sukara discuss two mob movies: The Untouchables, Brian DePalma's 1987 film about Elliot Ness violently trying to keep people from getting drunk vs Mobsters, a 1991 film that sets out to answer the question, "what if Newsies had less gravitas?"
In this 26th episode of Worst Scene, your still socially distanced co-hosts George Sukara and Richard Something discuss two award winning 2005 films: Brokeback Mountain, one of the greatest love stories ever put on screen vs Crash, the cinematic equivalent of that "Imagine" video Gal Gadot and other celebrities made at the beginning of the pandemic.

In this 25th edition of Worst Scene, your heroic co-hosts George Sukara and Richard Something discuss two Oz films: The Wizard of Oz, the best film of 1939 (eat shit Gone with the Wind) vs Return to Oz, the best film ever made about a frontier child from the late 19th century receiving electroshock therapy.
In this 24th edition of Worst Scene we discuss two films from 1989: Do the Right Thing, Spike Lee's masterpiece and the best film of that year vs Driving Miss Daisy, Bruce Bereford's non-masterpiece and not the best film of that year (regardless of any Best Picture Oscars it may have won).
In this 23rd edition of Worst Scene we celebrate Bill Paxton's birthday by discussing two films where he was the leading man: Twister, the greatest film ever made about getting revenge on a giant tornado, versus Mighty Joe Young, the greatest movie ever made about a giant ape named Joe.
In this 22nd episode of Worst Scene, Drs. George Sukara and Richard Something are joined by historian Daniel Sukara as they dive into two films starring the late Brian Dennehy: First Blood, probably the most successful film about PTSD ever made vs Last of the Finest, a movie that feels like sitting out in the garage drinking a tall boy on a hot summer night.

In this 19th episode of Worst Scene, your highly regarded hosts George Sukara and Richard Something pit the worst scene from the best film of 2017, Get Out, against the best scene in Soul Man, one of the most racist films of the 1980s (which is really saying something).
In this 18th episode of Worst Scene, your co-hosts and major historical figures Richard Something and George Sukara are joined by Daniel Sukara — no relation, at least not to Richard — as they discuss the Worst Scene in the quintessential Burt Reynolds movie, Smokey and the Bandit, versus the Best Scene in Cannonball Run, a movie that is shown in Hell at least once per day. Co-starring Burt Reynold's laugh.
In this episode of Worst Scene, your co-hosts and beloved national treasures George Sukara and Richard Something are joined by comedian Land Smith as they discuss the Worst Scene in Magnificent Seven versus the Best Scene in Three Amigos. Three Amigos is really way too good a movie for us to use as the "bad" movie on an episode of our podcast, but that's what we did and there's not a thing you can do about it.
In this 16th episode of Worst Scene, your widely admired co-hosts kick-off our second season with the Worst of Best of Worst Scene, choosing the worst part of our strongest episode (Die Hard) and the best part of our weakest episode (Return of the Jedi). That makes it our first clip show! Of course, you might say that every episode of Worst Scene is a clip show since we play tons of movie clips in each one, but that's just you being pedantic and we really don't need that right now.
***This second look at 1991’s Best Actress is gloriously full of spoilers for the terrible Bette Midler and Laura Dern movies at the center of this episode.*** LAURA DERN IN RAMBLING ROSE: Laura Dern Bio/Filmography - 3:44 Rambling Rose Movie Specs/Plot Overview - 7:30 Worst Scenes - 12:30 (Including Maybe the Worst “Worst Scene” Ever?) - 16:34 Best Scene - 24:04 BETTE MIDLER IN FOR THE BOYS Bette Midler Bio/Filmography - 30:59 For The Boys Movie Specs/Plot Overview - 36:19 Best Scenes - 46:14 Worst Scenes - 47:30 Perfecting Perfection AKA Our ReRanks: The Best Actress Category - 53:42 The Films of 1991 - 56:46 Actresses and Movies of the Year - 1:01:17 RATE AND REVIEW US ON ITUNES/Social Media - 1:05:39 This is Part 2 of our 1991 Best Actress Oscar Retrospective covering Laura Dern’s Rambling Rose and Bette Midler’s For the Boys. The first part (ep 74) discussed Jodie Foster in The Silence of the Lambs, and both Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon in Thelma & Louise. That episode went non-spoilers for those 2 great movies, and we do recommend you go back and listen to it and see those films. This episode features spoilers for both shitty films Rambling Rose and For The Boys, and you’re welcome. These movies suck, and we do not recommend you watch them. So our guilt in going full spoilers here is assuaged by the sheer entertainment value you can draw from our rage against these movies. Enjoy. So to begin part 2, we first cover Laura Dern’s crazed performance in the Robert Duvall / Diane Ladd depression era domestic drama Rambling Rose. We begin with a bio / filmography of Laura Dern’s unique and illustrious career, where her blockbuster performances are few and far between many eclectic choices in serious indie dramas like those of David Lynch as well as colossal award winning TV roles such as her Emmy win in Big Little Lies. Rambling Rose commits cardinal sins, in both the screenwriting and filmmaking realms of the storytelling. However good Dern’s performance might be, it is overshadowed by the morally bankrupt scenes and the astonishingly callous male perspective thereof. For the Boys is a hot mess. The film overshoots the mark of trying to be an epic performance piece spanning 3 wars and decades in the life of Bette Midler’s Dixie Leonard. Luckily, we give credit where it’s due, but there’s also some schlock. We’re amazed a film this bad could be nominated for Hollywood’s highest honors, despite the preceding bio / filmography / discography of one of our greatest treasures from the stage, screen, and billboard top 100 charts, Bette Midler. We complete the retrospective with a thorough look at the year of 1991 in film with our segment of Perfecting Perfection. Both Mikes rerank the performances. Then we have fun reminiscing about all the notable films of 1991 before Mike No. 1 gives his top 5 Best Actresses, and Also Mike, his top 10 films. Also, I say Kurt Douglas when I mean Kurt Russell. Whoops. There are plenty more retrospectives where this came from in our back catalog, as well as 6 Best Original Song halfisodes for all you Oscar junkies. We’ve also covered the heck out of last Oscar Season, Netflix, the entire MCU, and we’ve reviewed the big hits of 2018 and previewed next year’s award season with a host of episodes ranging from movie events to theatrical previews to hollywood news chats. Chat with us on social media, and please help us spread the word about our show. One way is to leave us a review on iTunes, and you can also follow/like/subscribe/ retweet / share, etc… on Instagram, Twitter, Soundcloud, Stitcher, and Reddit. As always, thank you for listening. When reality sucks, watch movies with us. We’re Mike, Mike, and Oscar!
In this 15th episode of Worst Scene, your beloved hosts George Sukara and Richard Something discuss the worst scene in 1982's E.T. the Extra Terrestrial, the very best film about a cute alien ever made, vs the best scene in 1988's Mac and Me, a crass failure about a horrific family of aliens that serves as little more than a terrible commercial for both Coca-Cola and McDonalds.
In this 14th episode of Worst Scene, your lovable co-hosts Richard Something and George Sukara debate the worst scene in the great and under appreciated Grosse Point Blank(1997) vs the best scene in Serendipity(2001), a terrible movie that is bad.
In this 13th episode of Worst Scene your co-hosts Richard Something and George Sukara compare Greta Gerwig's fabulous Lady Bird to David Duchony's atrocious House of D. Guest starring a house fly and the occasional sound of George clicking a pen.
It's the OSCAR SPECTACULAR PART TWO! We're watching this year's Best Picture winner, THE SHAPE OF WATER with guests CHIK AGWUNA and KIMMY KRENZER! We recap our favorite moments from the Oscar ceremony, flood the bathroom talking about the Worst Scene, and throw in some fish puns for good measure on today's show! Follow Chik and Kimmy on twitter @chikiguna and @MusclesKrenzer!
In this 12th episode of Worst Scene, co-hosts George Sukara and Richard Something go on a voyage of discovery to find the worst scene in James Cameron's Titanic vs the best scene in Titanic.
In the eleventh episode of Worst Scene we pick the worst scene from Daniel Craig's first turn as James Bond in the incredible Casino Royale and the best scene from Roger Moore's last (and probably worst) Bond film, A View to a Kill.
In this tenth episode of Worst Scene we look at the worst scene in the increasingly well regarded Groundhog Day vs the best scene in the not-at-all regarded Larger Than Life.
In this ninth episode of Worst Scene we look at Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, an incredibly fun film that captures Star Trek at its best, versus Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, a not nearly as fun (but still occasionally fun) film that captures Star Trek at its most contractually obligated to exist within a set period of time.
In this eighth episode of Worst Scene we look at Die Hard, arguably the greatest action film ever made, versus A Good Day to Die Hard, its lifeless (and most recent) sequel, which is very much not the greatest action film ever made.
2017 has been a rough year for our scene - so much so that we thought it would only be fitting to do a worst-of episode, rather than a best-of. In this special Christmas episode, we discuss the 5 worst scene albums of the year, as well as additional disappointments, our personal favorite songs/albums, and more!
On today's Daytime Confidential podcast Luke Kerr, Jamey Giddens, Jillian Bowe, Sara Bibel, Melodie AIkels and Mike Jubinville continue with the Best and Worst of Soaps in 2015 podcast. In Part 2 of the 9th Annual year-end Best and Worst episode they dive into Best and Worst Couple, Best and Worst Triangle or Quad, Most Tortured Couple, Best and Worst Storyline, Best and Worst Scene and the holiday classic Guy Whose Chestnuts We Want Roasted Over an Open Fire.
