30 Below with Ali and Rick
30 Below
Rick and Ali are watching bad movies, with only one criterion: it must have a rating of less than 30 on Rotten Tomatoes.
Spice World
Musician month comes to a very British ending, as Ali and Rick tackle the Spice Girls' movie, Spice World: The Movie. Special guest Briana Rose Lee joins us to talk about the girl power of the late 90s and how much we all want a Spice Girls reunion tour. Does Ali know actor names? Does Rick know how you win at becoming pope? Does Bri know how to get out of a speeding ticket? All this and an internet outage on this week's 30 Below!

Cool as Ice
A new month means a new theme, and Ali and Rick are going to be spending July watching movies that tried to make actors out of musicians. Starting off the month, we already stretch the theme as we have to consider Vanilla Ice a musician first for this to make sense. A movie this cool requires a guest to break it down with us, so friend of the pod CJ offered to give insights on one of his favorite movies. How many crimes is Vanilla Ice committing? Why is Cat into him? Can motorcycles do all that? Find out on this week's episode of 30 Below.

Independence Day: Resurgence
Delayed sequel month comes to a close with this 20-years-too-late sequel to a classic in American disaster cinema. Ali and Rick had to call in ID4 expert Becci Schmidt to break down all the ways this movie let us down. Where's Will Smith? What happened to Jeff Goldblum's wife? How did Brent Spiner survive? Why wasn't this movie about the decade-long ground war against the only aliens that landed. Who wanted this? Find out this and more on this week's episode of 30 Below!

Basic Instinct 2: Risk Addiction
Rick and Ali are sexily sexing their way back into your feed, with this 10-years-too-late sequel to the movie that made men fear ice picks. Listen in as Ali and Rick wade through some terrible performances to find some dialogue that was technically written by a professional writer. They'll discuss London office rental prices, patient-client confidentiality, and bi-erasure of a queer icon. Plus, they'll make fun of a really bad movie. Listen in, but know there's lots of talk of sexy topics in this one - it kind of goes with the erotic thrillerness of it all.

S. Darko: A Donny Darko Tale
The hits start coming and they don't stop coming, as Ali and Rick watched the sequel to Donnie Darko that you never knew existed. Why are these girls so trusting? How does time travel work in this world? Is Jesusonomy a valid religion? What kind of bird was that? All this and more on this week's 30 Below.

Son of the Mask
Ali and Rick dive into what might be the most unwatchable movie they've ever attempted, checking out this decade-late sequel to a Jim Carrey classic. Why does all the hair and make-up look like that? Who thought this CGI looked good? What kind of name is Traylor? And how do Rick and Ali continue to have perfect impersonations? All that and a joke that takes over a minute to explain on this week's episode of 30 Below.

American Psycho 2: All American Girl
Ali and Rick aren't exactly sure how SEO works, so they are taking the success of Top Gun: Maverick as a sign that what people want is talk of sequels that either came too late or no one asked for. This week's movie definitely fits that second criterion. Is Mila Kunis's character actually rational and calculated? Who is the worst at their job: the cops, the teacher, or the psychiatrist? Were we supposed to not know who the killer was for a little bit there? Did anyone behind the camera ever work again? All this and more on this week's episode!

Problem Child 2
Ani-May comes to a close with the childhood favorite Ali surpressed so much she forgot which movie it was. Listen in as Rick and Ali discuss the hotness of John Ritter, the pacivity of women characters, the mechanics of amusement park vomiting, and whether secretly renovating someone's home is a crime. Be warned, due to the movie's stylings, this is an episode heavy on scatalogical talk, thus proving that the true problem child was the Gilbert Gottfried impressions we made along the way.

Drop Dead Fred
Ani-May continues with a movie that is, in the strictest sense of the word, not animated. But what it is is a movie that leads to a great discussion between our intrepid hosts. Ali has some opinions on clothes, and we're going to get into them. Rick has opinions on snacks, and knows how to pronounce words. Neither of them wants to kiss an imaginary friend. Listen in!
