85 – A Monster Calls and The Worst of 2016

Bored as Hell Cast

We review A Monster Calls and run down the worst movies of 2016. A Monster Calls is amazing, heartfelt, and beautiful. . . and horribly marketed and rolled out to critics and audiences. Everyone loves it, but it’s buried in January and most critics didn’t get to see it until awards ballots were already sent out. What a shame, because it’s amazing. 9/10 from both of us.

Seriously, the worst.

A special dishonorable mention from Andy: the worst thing he saw in a theater was Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party but that is not a movie in the same way Breitbart is not news.
