This is our last episode before we go on a wee mid-season break until October, so as a sort of special we decided to cover a 0% movie, and that movie is 1990’s Problem Child, a film which is very confused and didn’t really seem to know what it wanted to do, we’d seen it referred to as ‘Problematic Child’ and to be fair, that’s quite accurate.

Synopsis: A seven-year-old troublemaker wreaks havoc on the lives of his new parents - a patient, kind-hearted man and his social ladder-climbing wife.’

We’ll talk about the film’s scores, go over the whole plot, talk about trivia and more. We’ll also talk about the movie's many shortcomings whilst unearthing some of the more wholesome or genuinely good moments (if we’re honest, this was a challenge). We’ll also talk about perhaps why this movie is a bit all over the place as well as talk about the Simpsons about 500 times for some reason!

If you would like to tell us what you thought of Problem Child, 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!

This week we’re talking about 2008’s dreary romantic vampire flick; Twilight. 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!
