That Was a Show?Badaptation: Uncle Buck (1990) Somehow not starring John Candy!1989 saw the release of one of the most memorable cinematic comedies of all time, the John Hughes classic Uncle Buck starring the incomparable John Candy and Macaulay Culkin. A mere one year later, a sitcom version was released featuring practically none of the original cast. The replacements try their darnedest to replicate the unique charm of the film, which is of course the story of three kids left in the care of their rough-around-the-edges uncle Buck Russell whilst their parents leave town to attend to a family emergency. The show has a premise that has been modified in dark...2024-02-151h 10
That Was a Show?Badaptation: Harry and the Hendersons (1991) Starring Bruce Davison and Molly Cheek1987 saw the release of the Academy Award winning film Harry and the Hendersons. That Oscar was for makeup and hairstyling, which makes sense when you consider that the star of the story is in fact a bigfoot. It was adapted into a sitcom a mere four years later. Both were produced by Amblin Entertainment, best known as the Spielberg-helmed production company responsible for another 1980s family-meets-fantasy-creature-drama E.T. The Extra Terrestrial…the image of which is right in their logo. This very Hairy show replaced John Lithgow and Melinda Dillon with Bruce Davison and Molly Cheek, as the parents of...2023-10-011h 08
Badaptation Pod17 - Dynasty Warriors (2021)真·三國無雙
Normally we put the tagline of the movie above, however, the tagline is in Chinese. Instead, the characters above have been haphazardly copied from Wikipedia. Guy says he’ll get it tattooed on him if this video gets 2 or more views.
This movie is our first and last foreign-language film, and is as easy to follow with either subs or dubs. We at Badaptation Pod are vehemently against the idea of one of those, but we’ll let you decide.

The boys are at it again this week, chopping their way through Troma's surprisingly straight played 1989 JAWS "Badaptation", BLADES. With special guest, Chris Giles in tow, we're weeding out the mess, revealing some fun bits & gore... and BITS of GORE. We riff our way into oblivion with this one!

Badaptation Pod16 - Silent Hill (2006)WE’VE BEEN EXPECTING YOU
If you haven’t seen this movie, this may be hard to follow. If you HAVE seen this movie, this still may be hard to follow.
This is by far the strangest movie we’ve covered so far, it was nice to have something that wasn’t a zombie/action flick. Hopefully you think it’s nice too.

Badaptation Pod15 - Resident Evil Extinction (2007)ALL BETS ARE OFF
It’s a good thing all bets are off, because we bet we wouldn’t enjoy any more of this franchise. But we’re back, Alice is back, LJ is back too, for some reason.
The number of movies in this franchise is slightly overwhelming (verging on simply whelming), however, it helps to know that there’s only 6, not 7, as we frequently incorrectly spout throughout this episode - an unforgivable crime.

“This movie will be lost in time, like blood in the rain.” That’s a quote from Blade Runner, but made worse. It’s suitable, because this movie is like Blade, but made worse.
Uwe Boll continues his quest to make a quick buck by capitalising off the idea that nerds will consume all content that contains IP that they recognise. Jokes on you, Boll, we didn’t even recognise this one.

As the target audience of this movie aimed at kids, expect a normal, level-headed, and totally fair review from two grown men who haven’t played a Super Mario Bros game for a wee while.
A colourful movie deserves an episode with colourful language, so we’ve at least delivered on that front. Also, we disagree a lot, that’s engaging isn’t it?

The plot is as consistent as Bison’ bad Irish accent, and as confusing as Bison’s bad Irish accent.

Best Adapted PodcastThe Fisher King with Donald MorrisonBest Adapted Podcast returns to Camelot by way of New York City. Continuing our King Arthur miniseries, BAP takes a look at The Fisher King, Terry Gilliam’s 1991 retelling of Perceval, the Story of the Grail. Gilliam reconfigured the romantic poem to the world of shock-jock radio hosts and the homeless population in New York. Starring Robin Williams and Jeff Bridges, The Fisher King garnered Oscar nominations and critical acclaim at its release. But does does this film grasp the mythical grail of “radaptation”? Or does it fall to wayside among the defeated knights of the “badaptation” table?
