Oh no, we’re off to Forks again for this episode, we’re talking about The Twilight Saga: New Moon from back in 2009. We honestly swear we thought these movies were more recent than that! Mikey, in his madness, chose this as his mystery pick, partly due to popular demand and partly in the hope we won’t have to revisit this saga for a while…but we’ll see,

Synopsis: After the abrupt departure of Edward, her vampire love, Bella finds comfort in her deepening friendship with Jacob Black. However Bella's loyalties are put to the test as she becomes drawn into the world of werewolves, ancient enemies of vampires.

We’ll talk about the film’s scores, go over the whole plot, talk about trivia and more. We have sparkly vampires, we have buff werewolves, a bucket load of angst and lots and lots of screaming, like, LOTS!

If you would like to let us know what you thought of Twilight: New Moon, suggest a rotten film you’d like us to talk about or just say hello you can email us at rankrottenpod@gmail.com, or on any of our socials which are listed at the bottom.

IT’S A G-G-G-Ghost! Wait, it’s OK, he’s friendly…shame about those uncles though. This time on Rank Rotten our Halloween Spooktacular concludes with 1995’s Casper; a cosy, fun, friendly ghost feature which for all its flaws has a lot of heart. Casper is a character who is synonymous with Halloween, so much so his live action feature length debut is based during the season. It’s also the movie's 30th Anniversary this year and so it felt right to celebrate it…feel old yet?

Synopsis: Casper is a kind young ghost who peacefully haunts a mansion in Maine. When Dr James Harvey arrives to communicate with Casper and his fellow spirits, he brings along his teenage daughter, Kat. As Casper and Kat grow close, their budding relationship is complicated by relatives, both living and dead.

We’ll talk about the film’s scores, go over the whole plot, talk about trivia and more. There’s also a surprising amount of egg chat and we’ll also talk about how awesome it would be to have a spatula hand as well as how the Back-streets-back, AL-RIGHT!

If you would like to let us know what you thought of Casper, suggest a rotten film you’d like us to talk about or just say hello you can email us at rankrottenpod@gmail.com, or on any of our socials which are listed at the bottom.

It’s time to get spooky with the first of our two Halloween Specials this year, actually it’s our first Special ever! You better get used to it because there will be a few between now and the end of the year. But this time we’re discussing 2020’s Hubie Halloween.

Synopsis: Despite his devotion to his hometown of Salem (and its Halloween celebration), Hubie Dubois is a figure of mockery for kids and adults alike. But this year, something is going bump in the night, and it's up to Hubie to save Halloween.

We’ll talk about the film’s scores, go over the whole plot (quite a lot going on in this one), talk about trivia and more. We’ll also talk about the many faces of the SandlerVerse, how it seems to us like this was ‘Sandler's Greatest Hits’, and try to say Hubie’s name which we seem incapable of doing.

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