Greetings and welcome back to Raspberry Picking, where we look back at Golden Raspberry Award winners and nominees and decide whether they really deserve to be called the worst movies of all time. This time we’re headed to Wild Wild West, nominee for eight Razzies, winner of five, bonfire for staggering amounts of money, and testament to the staying power of Will Smith in that he started getting Oscar nominations […]

Greetings and welcome back to Raspberry Picking, where we look back at Golden Raspberry Award winners and decide whether they really deserve to be called the worst movies ever. This time, we’re getting down with Dirty Love, nominee for six Razzies, winner of four including Worst Picture, and vehicle of instant suicide for anything and everything that touched it.

Before […]

Greetings and welcome back to Raspberry Picking, where we look back at Golden Raspberry Award winners and decide whether they really deserve to be called the worst movies ever. This month, we’re departing spacedock with Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, winner of three Razzies and near-killer of the entire Star Trek film franchise. First of all, a fair warning: I am going to try really hard not to turn this column into a long, […]

Greetings and welcome back to Raspberry Picking, where we look back at Golden Raspberry Award winners and decide whether they really deserve to be called the worst movies ever. This month, we’re looking at Hudson Hawk, winner of three Razzies and baffler of the moviegoing public.

Greetings and welcome back to Raspberry Picking, where we look back at Golden Raspberry Award winners and decide whether they really deserve to be called the worst movies ever. This time, we’re looking at Catwoman, nominee for six Razzies, winner of three (including, of course, Worst Picture), and the widely acknowledged Turd Standard for superhero movies of the 21st century.

Greetings and welcome back to Raspberry Picking, where we look back at Golden Raspberry Award winners and decide whether they really deserve to be called the worst movies ever.

This time we’re looking at everyone’s favorite Tom Green film, Freddy Got Fingered, nominee for eight Razzies, winner of five, and guarantor that Tom Green would direct no future movies. 1990 was, as things go, a pretty okay year to be […]

Greetings and welcome back to Raspberry Picking, where we look back at Golden Raspberry Award winners and decide whether they really deserve to be called the worst movies ever. Today we’ve got a visit from The Postman, nominee for five Razzie Awards, winner of all five including Worst Picture, Worst Actor, and Worst Director, and loser of more than $60 million and Kevin Costner’s reputation. Hey, remember Kevin Costner?  Y’all […]
