Switched from watching bad movies alone to hosting a monthly group screening night

Used to just suffer through The Room by myself in my apartment, but after dragging three buddies to watch Miami Connection last fall, now we take turns picking the worst stuff we can find on streaming services, what's your go-to strategy for roping people into these train wrecks?

Have you tried framing it as a "so bad it's good" film festival with a themed snack? I read this piece online where a guy got people to show up by promising homemade pizza and a drinking game for every horrible effect or line reading. The key is to lower expectations and make it more about the group making jokes than the movie itself. What kind of food or drink do you pair with your picks?

Set the bar low enough and even bad pizza gets a pass, which is basically life's whole secret.

Wait, you meant Miami Connection was from last fall? It's actually 80s.
