James, Ryan, and Clint power through another late-night Bad Movies Rule! Mailbag, fueled by the greatest fans in the game and the world’s most hype intro song. They kick things off by ripping open a package from Jason at Alamo City Comics — the first three issues of his crowdfunded comic Mercer (autographed and Punisher-vibes approved).

Voicemails include a dead-ringer “Double S” (Sly Stallone?) praising Rhinestone and their favorite-actor episodes, plus first-time caller Falcon catching up on the entire back catalog. Emails bring everything from an uncle’s Holmes & Watson trauma (and the subsequent bad-movie intervention), Curt Mummer’s snail-sex deep dive and 24 Hours of Lemons racing glory, multiple passionate “In Defense of The Crow” breakdowns (Brandon Lee tragedy, studio rush job, and the infamous cut Skull Cowboy character), Jaws: The Revenge shark-conspiracy theories, starter horror movie tier lists for kids, and a gloriously uncomfortable sexy fanfic written just for Ryan Mattila.

Bill calls in with a heartfelt Bunraku apology (and a plea to give the movie a proper full-episode shot), while the guys Google-Translate their way through Latin prayers, correct Walker Texas Ranger lore, and brainstorm apocalypse-riff movies.

As always, the crew is equal parts tired, wired, and endlessly grateful.

The Bad Movies Rule! crew revisits their very first episode with a full Street Fighter (1994) redux — this time with fresh eyes from guests Rachel and Dave, who are watching the movie (and barely know the game) for the first time. James, Chuck, and Brian guide them through the glorious chaos of Jean-Claude Van Damme as Guile, Raul Julia’s career-best (and final) turn as M. Bison, Kylie Minogue in a tiny outfit, a floating video-game chair, human-bone chandeliers, stealth boats, and more quotable nonsense than you can shake a Hadouken at. Expect non-stop laughs, game-to-movie comparisons, the most iconic “for me, it was Tuesday” speech in cinema history, and the crew’s signature awards segment. One of the most beloved “bad movie that rules” titles in the BMR catalog gets the fresh-perspective treatment it always deserved. Bison bucks accepted.

In this week’s mailbag, James and Ryan (Clint is apparently still a ghost) record from the half-finished new studio while celebrating the show’s 5th anniversary. They open physical mail first, including a postcard from Aaron J. featuring murderous cholla cactus “murder pickles” and a package from Andrew Sparks that literally exploded in transit… but contained one of the coolest gifts BMR has ever received: an American flag that was flown over Truist Park (Atlanta Braves stadium) specifically for the show. The guys are genuinely floored and already planning where it’s going to live permanently in the new studio.

They also finally explain the long-running “Grass Lake Road” inside joke (it’s not a movie, it’s Bob’s personal road to hell in Antioch, Illinois), answer Sheila’s question about which movie set they’d spend a week on (The Mummy vs. The Expendables 2), read voicemails about James Bond theme ratings, thermodynamics in Surviving the Game, historical accuracy in A Knight’s Tale, Bam Bam Bigelow stories, kids’ intro horror movies, and more. Plus: a passionate defense of the show from a listener, suggestions for Heavyweights and Bushwhacked, and a full-on rant about the 2018 Sesame Street special When You Wish Upon a Pickle that may have broken James permanently.

As always, the guys read every email, voicemail, and piece of physical mail you send, thank the patrons making the new studio possible, and remind everyone how to get in touch (details in the description). A chaotic, gift-filled, laugh-out-loud mailbag perfect for the 5th anniversary week.

After barely surviving Jaws 3D, the Bad Movies Rule crew immediately chains into Jaws: The Revenge (aka Jaws 4) for a full-franchise double-header marathon. James is joined by Brian (Samurai Movie Jam), Ryan Ferrell, and Bob Houser as they rip through the infamous sequel where the great white shark develops psychic powers, a personal vendetta against the entire Brody bloodline, and a habit of roaring like a pissed-off dinosaur.

They go full scene-by-scene through the Christmas Eve dock attack, telepathic Ellen Brody flashbacks, Michael Caine’s charming pilot Hoagie, Mario Van Peebles’ unhinged Jamaican scientist Jake, snail-sex research, banana-boat carnage, and one of the most gloriously stupid boat-ramming climaxes in cinema history. Expect nonstop laughs about voodoo sharks, Lorraine Gary’s intensity, Lance Guest’s charm, and whether this is actually better than Jaws 3. If the shark doesn't rule, at least it roars.
