    Add Jean-Claude Van Damme to the 2-timers! Street Fighter and Double Team thank you very much.

    Episode 81.5 — Minisode 81.5

    We got another Razzie favorite in our hands, as Double Team was nominated for won and three of these awards: Worst Supporting Actor for Dennis Rodman, Worst New Star for Rodman and Worst Screen Couple for Rodman and Jean-Claude Van Damme.

    Die Another Day (2002)

    I'm ashamed to admit but me and my family own it on DVD and I remember liking it because that was my first introduction to the James Bond series. I haven't watched that film since but now that I'm a bit older so I can rewatch it again, I can definitely understand that a lot of 007 fans despise this for so many reasons.

    Rhinestone

    This film is also notable that Stallone won his first ever Razzie Award for Worst Actor for his performance in that movie, while Rhinestone was nominated for seven more including Worst Picture. But Bo Derek's Bolero dominated the 1984 Razzies as that film won 6 while Rhinestone won 2 overall, the other was Worst Original Song for "Drinkenstein".
  5. I'm going to pick 1995's The Hunted, which also happens to be directed by the guy (J.F. Lawton) who wrote both Under Siege and Pretty Woman.

    Episode 80 — Jack Frost: LIVE!

    You guys forgot to mention that Jack Frost was the last notable film Michael Keaton starred in before going into semi-retirement. He would not appear in another major theatrical film for six years until he played the President of the USA in the Katie Holmes bomb First Daughter. Other notable stuff Keaton did since then was in White Noise, Herbie: Fully Loaded, Post Grad, The Other Guys and he has two films out this year: the action flick Need for Speed, and the remake of Robocop.

    Episode 79.5 — Minisode 79.5

    I own this movie on VHS! Jack Frost is also known as the last major film Michael Keaton made before going into semi-retirement. And it's too bad that his career had to regularly end with this.

    Kelly Preston is on the 3 timers club! All courtesy of Old Dogs, Battlefield Earth and now Jack Frost.

    The Specialist

    It also has Rod Steiger putting on a very over-the-top Cuban accent, and was directed by the guy (Luis Llosa) who would go on to make Anaconda!

    Bad Company (2002)

    Pairings in an action movie can usually strike gold with audiences, but Anthony Hopkins and Chris Rock? Who thought that this would be a good idea?! Another awful movie on Joel Schumacher's ouvre, immediately followed by The Number 23 and Trespass later on.

    Episode 79 — Deck the Halls: LIVE!

    The woman you're thinking of Piper Perabo. She's also been in Coyote Ugly, Cheaper by the Dozen 1 and 2, and many other films.

    Stay (2005)

    Ewan McGregor, Naomi Watts and Ryan Gosling star in this convoluted thriller about a psychiatrist who must stop a patient from committing suicide within three days. While the film is stylish, it suffers from a muddled story and was a box office bomb when it came out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Cmhuir4T2Q

    Envy (2004)

    Another very crappy film from Barry Levinson where Ben Stiller and Jack Black's friendship falls apart when one's fame causing another to be jealous of him. This flick stunk so bad that its stars publicly apologized for their work on Envy.

    Bicentennial Man (1999)

    I actually own this movie on VHS! I remember seeing commercials for this and there's this one part of the ads where Robin Williams's robot face was peeled off and the female robot sings "You're Ugly" right in front of him, but part of that eventually got cut from the finished product! Yeah the trailers where we thought the movie was going to be a sci-fi comedy instead turned to more of a drama involving death turned off a lot of people, causing it to not do very well at the box office.

    Time to add Matthew Broderick to the 2 timers! All thanks to Godzilla and Deck the Halls.

    Stealing Harvard

    Yes, also known as the last major film Tom Green ever made before everybody got sick and tired of him after the Razzie-winning Freddy Got Fingered. Green got nominated for another Razzie for his work on that film, but lost the award to Hayden Christensen for Star Wars: Attack of the Clones.

    Episode 78 — Crossroads

    For my omission, the girls were singing *NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye" while Anson Mount tries to change the station in his car. This movie was made while Britney Spears was still dating Justin Timberlake at the time, and they immediately broke up after it came out. This is just a reminder.

    Episode 77.5 — Minisode 77.5

    The script for this movie was written by Shonda Rhimes, who would later go on to create "Grey's Anatomy" and "Scandal"!

    Dan Aykroyd makes his triumphant return to this show thanks to the likes of Nothing But Trouble and Crossroads!

    Snow Dogs (2002)

    From the director of The Flintstones films and Jingle All the Way, comes one of the reasons that Cuba Gooding Jr.'s career started to go down the toilet, and probably the last film James Coburn made before he died.

    To Live and Die in LA

    I'm sorry, but this is actually a pretty good movie. Probably a more worthy entry in William Friedkin's canon to be recommended for the show would be either The Guardian or Jade, because those are pretty bad.

    Episode 76.5 — Minisode 76.5

    The director of this movie, Michael Lehmann, is probably best known for helming Heathers a few years before that, and that is probably the reason he got the job for Hudson Hawk. After it bombed at the box office, he surprisingly managed to get more work in film, resulting in Airheads (not that bad), The Truth About Cats & Dogs (pretty good), My Giant (silly), 40 Days and 40 Nights (ok) and Because I Said So (awful).

    Twisted (2004)

    I watched this film just to see if it was really horrible, but man was I so right. The acting was awful, the dialogue was horrendous, and it was neither suspenseful nor thrilling. Twisted also happens to be directed by none other than Philip Kaufman! That's the guy who helmed the Invasion of the Body Snatchers remake, The Right Stuff, The Unbearable Lightness of Being and Rising Sun among others. How could a good director and cast be attached to this crap and ended up sucking so bad? I think the screenplay was to blame. The writer behind it, Sarah Thorp, went on to write The Bounty Hunter of all things! Avoid this at all costs.

    Episode 76 — Fair Game

    For my correction for this episode when Jason said that Sea of Love had Dennis Quaid and Ellen Barkin in it, he was really close. That movie had Al Pacino in it instead, so he mistook it for The Big Easy.

    Don't forget Steven Berkoff, thanks to The Tourist and Fair Game!
