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!

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

COWABUNGA! RADICAL! BOSSA NOVA!? That's right, this week it’s turtle time and we’re buzzing to talk about the famous amphibians 1990 foray into live action cinema.

Synopsis: ‘Four teenage mutant ninja turtles emerge from the shadows to protect New York City from a gang of criminal ninjas.’

We’ll talk about the film’s scores, go over the whole plot, talk about trivia and more. We’ll also talk about rodents (again), the cultural impact the turtles had in the late 80’s into the 90’s and about Mikey’s stolen bread and butter.

Thanks for Rob for originally requesting Turtles III, but as all three Turtles movies are rotten, we're taking the long way round and doing all of them (over the next few seasons).

Synopsis: ‘Liam Page is a country music superstar who left his bride Josie at the altar to pursue fame and fortune. Page never got over Josie, his one true love, or forgot his Southern roots in the small community where he was born and raised. Now, he must unexpectedly face the consequences of his actions when he returns to his hometown for the funeral of his best friend from high school.’

We’ll talk about the film’s scores, go over the whole plot, talk about trivia and more. We’ll also talk about vicious pets, the price of hydrangeas and Norman Albright; hat thief!
