SURPRISE! We’re back, we didn’t want to wait until the end of the month to return and as we’ve missed a couple of episodes, so we thought we’d put out our first ever extra episode. Not just an extra too, but our longest episode EVER! What a movie to come back with too; one of the most polarising movies of the last year; 2025’s A Minecraft Movie. Expect meme humour, lots of internet culture and Jack Black turned up to 11! Is this all too much for some people and why do some people simply LOVE it? It was a huge movie regardless of critical reception which took the world by storm for its music, humour and references. Whilst others saw it as ‘brain rot’ and ‘damaging’ *eye roll*. We’ll also talk about the story of Minecraft and how it came to be, chat about video games and sing…a lot.


Synopsis: A mysterious portal pulls four misfits into the Overworld, a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they'll have to master the terrain while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected crafter named Steve.

]]> Jaws, 2 and Larry Jr; the ‘nice looking boy’ Jaws, 2 and Larry Jr; the ‘nice looking boy’ Fri, 30 Jan 2026 06:00:00 GMT 2:12:10 697b6c2a11885febd522a1bd true https://shows.acast.com/rank-rotten-a-rotten-movies-podcast/episodes/jaws-2-and-larry-jr-the-nice-looking-boy 697b6c2a11885febd522a1bd 680373d71aabee4d38395377 jaws-2-and-larry-jr-the-nice-looking-boy full 2 1 Season 2, Episode 1 - DUUUUUUUUH DUN, DUUUUUUUUH DUN! That can only mean one thing! For January's episode we’re taking a ‘deep dive’ into Jaws…Jaws 2 that is. In 1975 the cinematic landscape was forever changed by the release of Jaws. It was a ground breaking movie, based on the popular novel by Peter Benchley and it was also heavily tied into the cultural landscape. Made by a wee up and comer named Steven Spielberg the movie took the world by storm. It was then followed up by an inevitable sequel in 1978 which we discuss here at length. But…was Jaws 2 equally as impressive and iconic as the first? Was it ‘sum-fin’ special or did it ‘flounder’?


Synopsis: 4 years after the shark attacks that left Amity Island reeling, Sheriff Martin Brody finds new trouble lurking in the waters. However, Mayor Vaughn is hesitant to take action as he wants to rid the area of its grisly reputation. But the disappearance of a pair of divers suggests that all is not going ‘swimmingly’ in the waters surrounding Amity Island.

We start with a wee chat about Hogmanay and our traditions and about the invasion of AI slop on social media before getting down to business and running through all 19, taking a little bit more time to discuss the top 10. 


Following that we have some fun segments as we discuss some of our favourite things from the season. There’s also some more feedback, including a musical interlude submitted by listener, friend and all round good guy; Rab. Stick around to hear about plans for Rank Rotten going forward and to hear what our first movie of 2026 will be.

Join us as we talk about the time Arnold Schwarzenegger spent his Christmas Eve trying to get the hottest toy in town Jingle All the Way.


Synopsis: Workaholic Howard Langston wants to make things up to his wife and son, promising to get the hottest toy of the season, Turbo-Man for his son’s Christmas - As Langston hunts down the elusive gift on Christmas Eve, he competes with a mail man father on the same quest. 


We start with a wee discussion about some favourite Christmas movies, and films that are tangentially Christmassy and The Cheeky Girls…yeah really. We then go into the whole plot of the movie and address the fact that no one likes Booster (maybe because his weird gold pants). 


If you would like to let us know what you thought of Jingle All the Way, suggest a rotten film you’d like us to talk about or just say hello you can email us at rankrottenpod@gmail.com, or contact us on any of our socials which are listed below.

To heck with Christmas, let’s go on a cruise instead…is what Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis say in 2004’s Christmas With The Kranks, and we’re talking about it in great detail for the first of TWO Christmas Specials this month.


Synopsis: When their only daughter Blair leaves the family nest, Luther and Nora Krank (Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis) decide to book an island cruise to beat the yuletide blues and just skip the holidays. But their decision to boycott tradition has the whole neighbourhood in an uproar.


We’ll talk about the film’s scores, go over the whole plot, talk about trivia and more. We’ll also discuss at length perhaps why this movie has a score as low as the measly 5% it had at the time of recording. We’ll also be talking about yellow snowballs and famous hams.

]]> A Cinderella Story, and ankle flip-phone storage A Cinderella Story, and ankle flip-phone storage Fri, 28 Nov 2025 06:00:00 GMT 2:17:55 690b849c68ccec9b8efb5c81 true https://shows.acast.com/rank-rotten-a-rotten-movies-podcast/episodes/s01e17-a-cinderella-story-2004 690b849c68ccec9b8efb5c81 680373d71aabee4d38395377 s01e17-a-cinderella-story-2004 full 1 17 Season 1, Episode 17 - It’s another mystery pick for Cat and she's picked 2004’s A Cinderella Story. This is a movie that attempts to bring a classic fairy tale into the 21st century, but does it succeed or is it a by-the-numbers money spinner?


Synopsis: A teenager with a wicked stepmother develops an online relationship with a popular high school quarterback.


We’ll talk about the film’s scores, go over the whole plot, talk about trivia and more. We’ll also do a bit of reminiscing about the 00s and ask if storing your flip-phone on your ankle is a good idea, and if two good performances are enough to take a movie from rotten to fresh.


If you would like to tell us what you thought of A Cinderella Story, suggest a rotten film you’d like us to talk about or just say hello you can email us at rankrottenpod@gmail.com, or contact us on any of our socials (listed below) most of which are @rankrottenpod.

We honestly swear we thought these movies were more recent than that! Mikey, in his madness, chose this as his mystery pick, partly due to popular demand and partly in the hope we won’t have to revisit this saga for a while…but we’ll see, 


Synopsis: After the abrupt departure of Edward, her vampire love, Bella finds comfort in her deepening friendship with Jacob Black. However Bella's loyalties are put to the test as she becomes drawn into the world of werewolves, ancient enemies of vampires.


We’ll talk about the film’s scores, go over the whole plot, talk about trivia and more. We have sparkly vampires, we have buff werewolves, a bucket load of angst and lots and lots of screaming, like, LOTS!

]]> Casper, egg chat and spatula hands Casper, egg chat and spatula hands Fri, 31 Oct 2025 06:00:00 GMT 2:20:44 68ea22afd8c631bb50e8f86e false https://shows.acast.com/rank-rotten-a-rotten-movies-podcast/episodes/s01e15-casper-1995 68ea22afd8c631bb50e8f86e 680373d71aabee4d38395377 s01e15-casper-1995 Halloween Special 2 full 1 15 Season 1, Episode 15 (Halloween Special 2) - IT’S A G-G-G-Ghost! Wait, it’s OK, he’s friendly…shame about those uncles though. This time on Rank Rotten our Halloween Spooktacular concludes with 1995’s Casper; a cosy, fun, friendly ghost feature which for all its flaws has a lot of heart. Casper is a character who is synonymous with Halloween, so much so his live action feature length debut is based during the season. It’s also the movie's 30th Anniversary this year and so it felt right to celebrate it…feel old yet?


Synopsis: Casper is a kind young ghost who peacefully haunts a mansion in Maine. When Dr James Harvey arrives to communicate with Casper and his fellow spirits, he brings along his teenage daughter, Kat. As Casper and Kat grow close, their budding relationship is complicated by relatives, both living and dead.


We’ll talk about the film’s scores, go over the whole plot, talk about trivia and more. There’s also a surprising amount of egg chat and we’ll also talk about how awesome it would be to have a spatula hand as well as how the Back-streets-back, AL-RIGHT!

You better get used to it because there will be a few between now and the end of the year. But this time we’re discussing 2020’s Hubie Halloween.


Synopsis: Despite his devotion to his hometown of Salem (and its Halloween celebration), Hubie Dubois is a figure of mockery for kids and adults alike. But this year, something is going bump in the night, and it's up to Hubie to save Halloween.


We’ll talk about the film’s scores, go over the whole plot (quite a lot going on in this one), talk about trivia and more. We’ll also talk about the many faces of the SandlerVerse, how it seems to us like this was ‘Sandler's Greatest Hits’, and try to say Hubie’s name which we seem incapable of doing. 

If you would like to tell us what you thought of Hubie Halloween, suggest a rotten film you’d like us to talk about or just say hello you can email us at rankrottenpod@gmail.com, or contact us on Instagram which is @rankrottenpod. Stay fresh and thanks for listening!

Synopsis: Chucky is reconstructed by Playpal Toys to dispel the negative publicity surrounding the brand. Now resurrected he tracks young Andy Barclay to a foster home where he aims to claim Andy’s body as his own.


We’ll talk about the film’s scores, go over the whole plot, talk about trivia and more. We’ll talk about the Living with Chucky documentary a little, Becky Lynch and also ponder the role that batteries maybe play in voodoo soul transferences.

Cat has been excited about this one. Largely because it would finally mean Mikey would have to watch it. 


Synopsis: ‘High-school student Bella Swan, always a bit of a misfit, doesn't expect life to change much when she moves from sunny Arizona to rainy Washington state. Then she meets Edward Cullen, a handsome but mysterious teen whose eyes seem to peer directly into her soul. Edward is a vampire whose family does not drink blood, and Bella, far from being frightened, enters into a dangerous romance with her immortal soulmate.’


We’ll talk about the film’s scores, go over the whole plot, talk about trivia and more. We’ll also talk about towns named after cutlery, the bending of vampire lore and killer skin!

Mikey also gets a chance to geek out over some of his favourite things as we talk about OG monster masher Van Helsing and his 2004 big screen feature film. We’ve got crossbows, vampires, werewolves, fizzing whizzbees, a very Scottish Mr Hyde and more!


Synopsis: ‘The famed monster hunter is sent to Transylvania to stop Count Dracula, who is using Dr Frankenstein’s research and a werewolf for nefarious purposes’.


Join us as we talk about the film’s scores, go over the whole plot and talk about trivia. We’ll also talk about the lack of silver bullets in Transylvania, why Hugh Jackman wasn’t allowed to be naked and the (apparently) legendary Transylvanian horses.


Thank you to listener Michael for requesting this one and pushing it up our list. If you would like to tell us what you thought of Van Helsing, suggest a rotten film you’d like us to talk about or just say hello you can email us at rankrottenpod@gmail.com, or contact us on Instagram which is @rankrottenpod.

Dracula: Minas Reckoning – it was actually the National Theatre of Scotland who put this show on. Here is the trailer for the play which ran early September to October last year in cities across the UK. Hopefully they do another run, we’d love to go again. We couldn't find the production of Jekyll and Hyde we saw, but I'm pretty certain that was also National Theatre of Scotland too.

We also referred to Courtenay, who has done many of Mikey’s tattoos. She’s a fab and friendly artist. If you’re looking for an artist in the Edinburgh area, here is a link to Courtenay’s Instagram so you can see the sort of stuff she does.

Then it's likely you've seen a Rotten Tomatoes score. Rotten Tomatoes is a review aggregator website that gathers reviews from critics to decide if a film is 'fresh' or 'rotten'. But is the critical consensus everything?


So join this Scottish, married, movie loving couple as we look at movies the critics of Rotten Tomatoes have decided are 'rotten'. We'll talk about movies of all kinds, look at them a little closer and attempt to unearth any redeeming qualities these films may have. We'll also ask the question, are these movies really, actually, rotten?


Along the way we'll look at trivia, discuss the films plot at length and see if there is any difference between what the critics say and what audiences think. We can't wait to get talking about these movies, many of which are absolute gems, and some of which, well...suck! If you want to join in the discussion or request a rotten movie you can email us at rankrottenpod@gmail.com or get in touch on Instagram @rankrottenpod.
