Long time listener, first time voter…because I’m a hard no on The Room (I have a feeling I’ll be in the minority). I’ve never been able to subscribe to the “it’s so bad it’s good” philosophy when it comes to film, The Room is just bad.
I saw it for the first time around 08 or 09. A friend let my band borrow it before leaving on a month long tour, and he definitely had hyped up it up for us. Throughout this month, my friends would bring it into whatever friends or strangers house/hotel room we were staying and everyone would have a laugh. I think we watched it 15 or 20 times in 30 days. By the end of the month, my fellow band mates were quoting along and I’d be asleep which I found to be the better choice.
Has The Room made a cultural impact and become a cult classic? Sure. Do I enjoy it? Not at all.
