Own the Zone™ and Raise the Flag™, media masochists! It's Anime Quarantine time again, and Murphy and Alex focus on the blessedly non-ecchi card battle genre! "Duel Masters" teaches us that you can't spell "cheating" without "chi", but how many timelines does a show need to truly explore a Magic: The Gathering ripoff? "Future Card Buddyfight" asks …

How did Rex Cloud unlock the powers of the Daddy Sue Archetype? Will our trio of magical alien princesses discover the truth about sundials? What are bees doing outside? Would I come up with something this dumb? Find out as your favorite media masochists discuss episodes 2 - 5 of the straight-to-streaming Tales of Morrissa! Drop us a line at worsts…

The independent, direct-to-streaming series Tales of Morrissa purports to be about young ladies with superpowers attempting to unearth their mysterious origins… but it’s actually countless scenes of people sitting and talking inside suburban homes! But what is Rachel’s mysterious connection to the show, and is it enough to avoid the title of the Ab…

Jack the Ripper steals H.G. Wells' REAL time machine and escapes to modern New York City. Wells gives chase, and wacky hijinks ensue... at least they would, if this were a film starring Malcolm McDowell and Mary Steenburgen! Instead, "Time After Time" is an hour-long drama from 2017 starring Freddie Stroma as Wells and Josh Bowman as Jack that aire…

Just in time for Purim it’s our Chanukah special, and comedian Adam Feuerberg guest stars on a VERY special episode! What happens when you combine the problematic “hidden Jew” trope with a standard Hallmark Channel movie from 2019, and add a dash of Bruce Boxleitner? Something the whole family can’t enjoy — but we sure do make the best of it! Drop …

The 90s were awash with shows designed to sell action figures to kids, but 1997's Van-Pires is the only one that may secretly feature an A-list celebrity! This CG/live action hybrid monstrosity was meant to roll out a whole line of toys... but did they ever deliver? Join Alex, Murphy, Rachel, and welcome back Tocci the Human IMDB to find out! Drop …

The Bunco Squad returns to the scene of the crime by watching two more eps of 1976's "Homles & Yoyo". They were charmed by novelty before... but has the show's "secret police robot" premise started to rust? Plus, reader mail and another letter from Tocci the Human IMDB! Drop us a line at worstshowonearth@gmail.com! Tocci's Instagram: https://www.in…

Don't you hate it when you get trapped in your favorite video game? You usually end up surrounded by beautiful people who are mystified by your otherwise totally average self! Join Alex and Murphy as they explore the worst the "isekai" genre of anime has to offer. Will "Seven Senses of the Re'Union" (2018) leave them senseless? Will battling with "…

This week's terrible TV fare is 1976's "Holmes & Yoyo"! Starring character actor Richard B. Schull as Holmes and slightly more successful character actor John Schuck as the secret android Gregory "Yoyo" Yoyonovich, this series landed on TV Guide's list of the 50 Worst Shows of All time at number 33. Does it deserve the shame it gets? Alex, Murphy a…

Alex and Murphy explore the cringe-inducing anime genre of "harem", where bland protagonists are surrounded by hot members of the opposite sex who are inexplicably attracted to them. But what are worse: male-centric harems or so-called "reverse" harems that are female centric? To find out, our intrepid hosts soldiered through "Rosario + Vampire" on…

You've heard about it on The Simpsons and Arrested Development, but is the notoriously high concept My Mother the Car (1965) really one of the worst shows ever made? Alex, Murphy, and Rachel tune in to find out, but instead get fascinated by old-timey remote controls. Plus, another Isolation Letter from Tocci the Human IMDB! We'd love to hear from …

We're all stuck inside with ample time to stream terrible TV, so Alex and Murphy did what all anime fans love to do: scream about how much they hate anime. In the inaugural Anime Quarantine, they explore the "ecchi" genre with 2016's "Keijo!!!!!!!!" and 2003's "Ikki Tousen". The depiction of women causes them to have physical revulsions! Plus, a qu…

Rachel couldn't join this time around and she was the only one with standards, so Alex, Murphy, and Tocci watched some truly awful TV. The first was a UK show from 1990 called "Heil Honey I'm Home". It's a sitcom starring... Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun. If that weren't bad enough, we jump to 1995 animated MTV for the positively revolting "The Brothe…

It took some digging, but we finally unearthed 2007's much-maligned "Viva Laughlin". With a cast including Hugh Jackman, Mädchen Amick, D.B. Woodside, and Anna Kendrick, you'd think there'd be something salvageable here... right? Cancelled after only two episodes had aired, could this musical/"comedy"/drama be worse than even Cop Rock? We have a sh…

Astutely funny human Calder Holbrook joins us to try and make sense of the mid-90s syndicated non-sensation Baywatch Nights! On the docket are two serial killer themed episodes: "Deadly Vision" from season 1, and "Possessed" from season 2 -- and this time BOTH of them have supernatural angles! Check out Calder on WWrEcap! https://podcasts.apple.com…

The second installment of our Night & Day viewing of David Hasselhoff's "Baywatch Nights", where we watch one episode of each of the two seasons of the show, has some radical dudes and gill-ular dudettes. But a Wikipedia whoopsie may have given us more than we bargained for... or should I say less! Will all of us make it through "Bad Blades" and "T…

Next up, the syndicated mid-90s "Baywatch Nights"! No, not "Baywatch" -- "Baywatch Nights". Don't fret though, because it still has the franchise's biggest star: David Hasselhoff! The show made a serious shift in genre from season 1 to season 2, going from standard private eye stuff to supernatural shenanigans, so we're doing a good ol' "compare an…

If you think Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker's marketing avalanche is bad, you clearly weren't around in 1978 when CBS debuted the Star Wars Holiday Special, never to air it again. Featuring almost all of the original movie's cast -- as well as The Carol Burnett Show's Harvey Korman -- our intrepid media masochists learn if it deserves its infamou…

The holidays are here, and that means TV specials and a visit from everyone's pal Cary Kingdom! For today's pod, we're watching The Hallmark Channel's "A Carol Christmas" starring Tori Spelling. It's like Dickens' "A Christmas Carol", only with Gary Coleman and William Shatner. And also REALLY capitalistic. Follow Cary on Twitter at https://twitter…

If a cannibal is mentioned, but never seen and never eats anyone, do they still scream when the simulation they live in is halted? This is one of the many questions Netflix's The I-Land never answers! Join us as we discuss the show's final two episodes ("The Great Globe Itself" and "The Dark Backward"), and compare it to other crap we've endured! W…

While Netflix's The I-Land is not the Absolute Worst, it may have produced the Worst Single Episode ("The Insubstantial Pageant"). And then we watched two more episodes after that, with pretentious titles "Many Goodly Creatures" and "The Cloud Capp'd Towers"! This show's a pretty good time, honestly. We have a show email address and we'd love to he…

Netflix has a new series that is purported to be the worst they've ever made... so perfect for our purposes!

Drop us a line at worstshowonearth@gmail.com! Follow Tocci on Instagram! http…

This one broke us a little. Could it be that 1998's "The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfieffer" starring Chi McBride has unseated Cop Rock for being the Absolute Worst? Find out if this Civil War-set "comedy" has what it takes to be The Worst Show on Earth! We have a show email address and we'd love to hear from you! Drop us a line at worstshowonearth@g…

Hang onto your hats! In a very special episode, we interview real live kids to see what they think of Sid and Marty Kroft's Lidsville -- a show older than their parents! And then those parents ALSO SPEAK! We have a show email address and we'd love to hear from you! Drop us a line at worstshowonearth@gmail.com. Follow Tocci on Instagram! https://www…

BUT WAIT! We have a new challenger! Game programmer and friend of the pod Sean Stathatos is our special guest as we trudge through the remaining three episodes of Game Over. Anger abounds as the show sinks to even lower depths and strays further and further from its premise! You can watch a trailer for Towers, the game Sean's working on, here: http…

Time to crack open a fresh new hell -- I mean series! -- for our four compatriots! Will the video game-themed CG sitcom Game Over featuring Patrick Warburton, Lucy Liu, Rachel Dracht and Artie Lange be a contender for The Absolute Worst?

Controversy is afoot in this installment of TWSOE! We tune in to the Sid & Marty Kroft bizarro living cartoon "Lidsville", but not everyone thinks this is even in the running to be on the show. Could this world of terrible hat puns really qualify as "good television"? We have a show email address and we'd love to hear from you! Drop us a line at wo…

It was the first show to break us... but surely it won't be the last! In a special capstone installment of TWSOE, Matt, Rachel, Alex, and Tocci dissect just what it was about Cop Rock that makes it the Absolute Worst.

Is "A Three-Corpse Meal" the episode of Cop Rock that finally tears us apart, even after all the anticipation surrounding the famous "Baby Merchant" song? Find out in this fortnight's pod!

In the thrilling Cleopatra 2525 season one conclusion we debate outfits, discuss Bailey anatomy, and pay a genuine compliment to the episodes.

Katie the Canadian is back and this time she's got even less context for what's going on! We're approaching the season finale for Cleopatra 2525, and on this podcast we cover the episodes "Double" and "The Last Stand". One of them is the hands-down best episode we've watched so far, while the other is... probably the worst. We have a show email add…
