Choosing between a 'classic' bad movie night or a new one felt like a real test
Last Friday, my friends and I had to pick between watching 'The Room' for maybe the 10th time or finally trying 'Samurai Cop'. We went with 'Samurai Cop' and, wow, the wig alone was worth it. The whole thing felt like a car crash you can't look away from, especially the scene where the cop just throws a cat at a bad guy. I'm glad we switched it up, but part of me missed the plastic spoons. What's a newer 'so bad it's good' movie that's become a staple for you?

Classics are classics for a reason though. Sticking with 'The Room' means you already know all the lines, which is half the fun.

Knowing all the lines is fun, sure. But calling it a "classic" feels like a stretch for a movie that's famously bad. It's just a silly movie night bit, not some big cultural thing.

It's wild how we label things "classics" just because they broke the mold in some weird way, even if they're terrible. @owens.anthony probably gets it since 'Velocipastor' is the same kind of accidental legend. Kinda like how everyone knows the worst song at karaoke but nobody forgets the lyrics to it.
