Movie reviews: You know we love 'em. But how many different reviews of the same
big-budget film based on that show from your childhood can you stand to read?
You may not know this, but those big-budget films based on that show from your
childhood only make up a small percentage of the movies made every year. In fact, most
films are never even released in theaters -- they go straight to DVD and/or VHS. And
there's usually a very good reason why those movies don't get theatrical releases: They're
crap.
Think about that a moment. The likes of Catwoman, Little Man and House of the Dead
have had nation-wide theatrical releases, and those movies suuuucked. You can
imagine the quality of the films reviewed here.

We're looking for the best of the best of the worst -- the kind of movies that are so
monumentally bad that they come back around to being good fun. Alcohol certainly helps.

Our Goal
Apparently, Nolahn really likes movies -- why else would
he subject himself to these films?
Here's what we know: We know the first movie he ever
saw. We know that as a kid, Nolahn once set his alarm
to 2:25am so he could watch Son of Dracula on TV. We
know that Nolahn spent his high school days working at
his uncle's video store, cutting his teeth on such films as
Remo Williams and Killer Klowns From Outer Space.
After reading the umpteenth review of Fantastic Four:
Rise of the Silver Surfer, Nolahn decided it was time to
take up the cause for all those little movies clogging up
the shelves of your local video store.
He as since seen his work at The 'Bin as a sort of public
service -- watching bad movies so you don't have do.
What a saint, eh?

Bad movies don't exactly grow on trees, so when The 'Bin needs that
hard-to-find title, we turn to our man J.D. Drew (not that one).
In addition to hunting down obscure titles, J.D. Drew provides solid
counsel on the ways of Internet Outreach. Yes, his web-fu is indeed
mighty.
When not assisting The 'Bin or preparing for the inevitable zombie
outbreak, J.D. Drew is hand-crafting leather masks over at
Frights.org.

movies by "MEOW"s instead of asterisks, because that's "his
thing."

Every month, Nolahn teams up with Jason Soto of Invasion of the
B-Movies to host The Lair of the Unwanted, the Awesome-est
B-Movie Podcast in the History of Forever!
We could tell you more about Jason, but it's more fun to make things
up: Jason once ate a bicycle, one bolt at a time. Jason has a pet
chicken named Cocksworth. Jason punched a nun for calling The
Room "an ungodly film."
This we're not making up: Jason's stuff is damn good, and worth
checking out.
