Out of all the things that RedLetterMedia has done, this is my favorite.
The concept is simple. Watch three (or more) terrible movies, and later discuss them. No matter how bad, they have to pick which one is the least awful of the offenders.
The first video I ever saw from RedLetterMedia was one from the BOTW series. And right away, I was impressed with the sheer amount of wit and how much fun these guys were having reviewing these ridiculous movies. And they don't have to put on an act to entertain, all they gotta do is be themselves. Rich's laugh is addictive, Mike's sardonic sarcasm is as great as always, and Jay always has something insightful to offer. Although it varies who are featured in an episode, it's always entertaining either way. Sometimes they even manage to get one of the people behind one or more of the movies they've covered to guest star, like the semi-recurring Len Kabinski.
As you come to expect from RedLetterMedia, the humor can sometimes be kinda dark and those who don't care for that sort of thing could find it meanspirited. But it's all tongue-in-cheek, and just the crew having a ball roasting these films and peoples' bad career choices.
While it's hard to pick a favorite episode, I look forward to whenever they use the wheel or Plinketto board, due to the often bizarre nature of the instruction tapes they end up watching, which are either too weird for words or the most boring thing ever.
If you like me like seeing people talk about obscure, but fascinating B to Z-grade movies, you'll love this show. It might even inspire you to start watching bad movies as a group activity yourself.
Best Of The Worst is the best of the best.
