Day 13 of posting bad media: So, there's this little movie called Witchboard 2 (1993)... After the success (?) of the first movie, this one follows the exact same formula: woman buys ouija board, has drama with her boyfriend, and almost gets killed. It's a silly 90's bad movie time for sure.

In a room full of fire, a woman stands over an ouija board. The ouija board is a hand that is reaching out and grabbing her neck. She looks surprised, shocked, scared. Over her head it says "WITCHBOARD 2"

Like really. The plot barely made sense, and the choices of actors was just abysmal. Jokes fell so flat, they may as well have been a Looney Tunes character crushed by a steamroller. I was angry the entire time. This is the rare kind of bad media that should not be engaged with AT ALL!

Day 12 of posting bad media every day: So you've heard of the Borderlands movie (2024.) Did you know that it's even worse than you've heard? We watched it last night and WOW. Usually you can find a redeeming part of bad media-- an actor, the effects, whatever-- but we hated every. single. part.

It's the Borderlands movie poster. At the bottom are a list of names in green, and over that it says BORDERLANDS. There are a cast of miscellaneous characters above that, such as Claptrap, Krieg sitting on claptrap (a man in brown pants and no shirt), Lillith to the right (a red-haired woman), and several more above those characters.

Day 11 of posting bad media every day: This one is hot off the presses, folks! Last night we watched "Night on the Galactic Railroad" (1985). This was a real weird movie. So, there's two cats. They're on a train that's a metaphor for death, and there's a LOT of Christian imagery. Like TOO MUCH.

It's the movie poster for "Night on the Galactic Railroad." There's a pink cat with its hands crossed looking towards the viewer. There's a blue cat looking pensively out of the window at a heron emerging from the water. Overhead, there is a galaxy.

Day 10 (!!) of posting bad media every day: Hey, have you ever heard of 1982's "Q: The Winged Serpent"? Well neither had we until we trawled Amazon's vast reserves of bad movies. But, to be fair, anything with David Carradine in it is sure to be gold. Quetzalcoatl attacks New York! Crimes ensue!

A banner for "Q: The Winged Serpent." The background is black and red, and in the foreground there is a sun with a winged monster in front of it. The monster is holding a lady in its claws, and she looks very dramatically fainted. It also says to the right, "SCREAM Factory TRAILER."

Day 9 of posting bad media every day: In a world where it doesn't cost $200,000 to $500,000 to launch a helicopter, Los Angeles has heliCops. Don't worry, they mostly spend their time hovering outside of apartment buildings peeping on naked women. Or getting in trouble with the chief. Or crashing.

The cover art for "BLUE THUNDER" the movie. There's a helicopter flying over a city far below. The "BLUE" in the name has the images of a man wearing aviator glasses, and also a woman looking very neutral. It says "Roy Schneider" and "special edition" at the top. At the bottom right it has the DVD symbol.

Day 8 of sharing bad media every day: We can all agree that Cloud Atlas (2012) is bad, right? As a child I loved it, as an adult I think it's a bad take on a bad book. The idea is-- the same person has lived out multiple lives throughout the centuries and millennia. However it's just kinda a mess

The movie poster for "Cloud Atlas." There's Tom Hanks with a tattoo around his eye in the shape of a sun, there's a black woman looking pensively off in the distance, a man in a suit, a man playing the piano, a woman, a man in a top hat, an older man at a keyboard, and an Asian woman sitting down. These are all vital characters. In the background, on the right, there is a ship at sea. At the left, there is a mansion. This poster is as eclectic and confusing as the movie is.

Day 7 of sharing bad media every day: Witchboard (1986) is a classic in our friend group. Prepare yourself for 1 and a half hours of a woman convulsing because the luigi board she's using is EVIL. Everyone insists on calling it a "witchboard," even though that's not what a weggy board is named.

A picture of a blueray disc container for Witchboard. There a man in the top left looking ominous, a ouija board in the center, an axe embedded into the board, and a photo of a woman going AAAH. At the bottom it says Witchboard in vaguely satanic font. At the top right it says "When you open the door to the unknown there's no telling who will drop in... or who will drop dead."

Day 6 of sharing bad media every day: Scales: Mermaids are Real is the weirdest 2000's kids' movie made in... 2017!? It's got everything: a tone-death mechanic of "half-breeds" and "purebloods," and a werewolves vs. vampires situation with "the Hunters" (men.) It's like Twilight but worse!

The cover art for "Scales: Mermaids are Real." It's a movie poster with the names of folks who contributed at the bottom, and the title info at the top. In the center there is the main character with luscious locks on her belly with her mermaid tail in the air. To her right is a small boy in a pink shirt. To her left is a girl in a blue shirt.

Day 5 of sharing bad media every day: Now when I say that "Brother Bear: the Video Game" is bad, I mean BAD. It was short, it barely covered the movie's events, and it felt a bit like an afterthought. But hey, the Chicagoan little kid voicing Koda is ADORABLE. He's doing his best and he nails it!

A screenshot of "Brother Bear: the Video Game." The main character bear (forgot his name) is scratching his flank with a hind look and looking into the camera with a permanently surprised expression. Opposite him is Koda, the baby bear, looking permanently shocked, or perhaps happy. In the background are floating acorns, and they're standing on a texture of grass.

Day 4 of sharing bad media every day: Ever heard of the 1986 My Little Pony movie where giant purple goo eats the town and turns ponies into assholes? Well, now you have. Affectionately referred to as "MLP '86" in our friend group, this movie is HAUNTING. There's a tentacle monster and everything!

It's the cover art for the My Little Pony 1986 movie. In the center there is a rainbow with the title overlaid on top. Just above that, there is the flying purple goo, referred to as "THE SCHMOOZE" by everyone. Not kidding. Below the rainbow is a castle in the distance, and three ponies in the foreground in the pre-rework My Little Pony style. The centermost one is pink with blonde hair and a blue bow in its tail, the one on the left is purple with a red headband, and the one on the right is white with red hair. This last one is looking over her shoulder with concern at a witchly figure in the distance, caught mid-hysteric laughter.

Day 3 of sharing bad media every day: We've all heard of "The Lord of the Rings: Gollum." But have you played it? You absolutely should. There's creeping and crawling, snarling and moaning. There's a really bad Gollum voice actor going for broke vs. an even worse Gandalf. It. Is. Fantastic.

This is hard to describe. A misshappen, amorphous Gollum stares into the camera. He has ridiculous black circles around his eyes, and his hair seems to be a higher texture than the rest of him, but it is bedraggled and ugly. That's not to say that the rest of him isn't astoundingly ugly either. This creature is terrible to behold. He has green eyes and his skin is white.

Day 2 of sharing a piece of bad media every day: Deadly Premonition (2010) is famous among our friend group. It's draining, it's horrible to play, and it drags on... However, it's silly and wonderful too. It's LITERALLY, ACTUALLY "Twin Peaks but a Japanese man wanted to do his own take on it."

This is the cover art for "Deadly Premonition." There is a blindfolded person screaming into the camera with cracks on their skin, bloody teeth, and blood flowing down their face. In the background there is a hooded man in a red outfit, holding an axe. At the top it says "Deadly Premonition."

The Honk Zone Podcast @thehonkzone.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

Starting a new series where I post a piece of bad media every day! Day 1: 2000's "Bear With Me" is a classic of the time. The story of a kid who found a bear in her backyard and then went on to protest logging. Because environment/animal rights was a hallmark of 2000s kid's media... for some reason

It's the cover art for "Bear With Me," a 2000s kids movie. In the top half of the image there is a young girl looking left with a determined expression, and next to her head is a bear. On the bottom half of the picture it says "BEAR WITH ME" and shows the same girl next to the bear in a forest setting, with yellow-ish grass and leaves on the trees.

A Boston Terrier-esque dog stares into the camera in a frightened way, while a police height chart is behind him. "THE HONK ZONE" and "TUESDAYS" is overlaid over him.

Went mushroom hunting yesterday... look at this amazing chonky guy I found! That stem is THICK! The one mushroom I know of with a super thick stem is called "Satan's Bolete," but this isn't that! #fungifriends Speaking of chonky, here's my parent's cats! They're practically melting in the sun. - M

On a blanket in front of an open windowsill sit two cats. One is black and laying on her side, and the other is orange and loafing. The blanket is blue and has snowmen on it.

A hand holds an upside-down mushroom. There is a slightly purple tinge to the stem, otherwise it is white, though the bottom is covered with dirt.

A hold holds a purple-capped mushroom. It is more lavendar-ish towards the edges (magenta?) and more dark purple or even black at the very center. The arm is covered with a green sweatshirt and there is moss and other plants in the background.

Day 67 of posting cool mushrooms every day: The Stinker mushroom (Tricholoma sulphureum) is a European mushroom that smells very sulphurous, or like coal gas. The chemical that makes it smell so bad is called "skatole" (3-methylindole) which is commonly found in feces. (Source: bit.ly/4hy72qP)

Out of a bed of leaf litter grows a bright yellow mushroom. The entire thing is yellow. It looks pretty tall for a mushroom.
