The Holdovers vs Four Christmases
Dec 29, 202301:34:04Tap to summarizeThe Worst Scene / Best Scene holidays continue with a look at the worst scene in new Christmas classic, the Holdovers vs the best scene in what Richard ranks as the 357th best movie to ever be set in San Francisco, Four Christmases.

Transcribe →Violent Night vs Silent Night, Deadly Night
Dec 20, 202301:22:29Tap to summarizeAfter a seven month hiatus fueled almost entirely by greed and laziness, George and Richard return with their first episode of a new season of Worst Scene. Feel the adventure. Taste the entertainment. In this episode they choose the worst scene from Violent Night, possibly the best movie ever made about Santa Claus killing people (for good reasons) vs Silent Night, Deadly Night, definitely the worst movie ever made about Santa Clause killing people (for bad reasons).
Transcribe →Banshees of Inisherin vs Leprechaun
Apr 26, 202301:30:51Tap to summarizeWorst Scene Awards Season comes to a close as we compare the worst scene in Banshees of Inisherin, Martin McDonagh's wonderful film about two (former) friends vs the best scene in Leprechaun, a movie that in retrospect feels vaguely offensive for us to use as the bad film in this pairing. Amanda Stern (writer and star) and Stephen Carlile (star) from the marvelous film "Perfectly Good Moment" guest host alongside the two usual scamps you've come to know and tolerate.
Transcribe →Tár vs Beethoven
Apr 14, 202301:29:16Tap to summarizeWorst Scene Awards Season continues and this week's episode will have you screaming "What in Taaaarnation?1?" as we compare the worst scene in Tár, a film that proves once and for all that Cate Blanchett is the greatest actor to ever spell Kate with a C vs the best scene in Beethoven, a movie that sports what is arguably the greatest cast in the history of cinema. Alix Martin, co-host of The Exxtra AF Files, guest hosts.
Transcribe →Elvis vs Bohemian Rhapsody
Apr 7, 202301:20:31Tap to summarizeOscar Season isn't over, here at Worst Scene it's only just begun. George and Richard kick off a month of Oscar pairings, discussing the worst scene in Baz Luhrmann's stylish, fun Elvis, the film that convinced Austin Butler to spend the rest of his life greeting everyone he meets with "hey little mama" vs the best scene in Bryan Singer's lifeless, depressing Bohemian Rhapsody, the one and only piece of media to ever make Freddie Mercury seem boring. Chaki the Funk Wizard guest stars.
Transcribe →Basic Instinct vs Jade
Mar 3, 202301:38:43Tap to summarizeErotic Thriller month comes to a sexy conclusion as we compare the worst scene in 1992's Basic Instinct, the greatest film ever made about Wayne Knight being in the same room with a woman not wearing any underwear vs the best scene in 1995's Jade, a movie that would have been greatly improved if it included a scene with Wayne Knight in the same room with a woman not wearing any underwear. Director Lauren Greenhall joins to discuss both films as well as talk about her own truly great film, Perfectly Good Moment.
Transcribe →Body Heat vs Color of Night
Feb 24, 202301:24:25Tap to summarizeErotic Thriller month continues as we compare the worst scene in 1981's Body Heat, exactly the sort of sexy noir film you'd expect from the man who'd just written The Empire Strikes Back and Raiders of the Lost Ark vs the best scene in 1994's Color of Night, a film that really puts the "willy" in the name Bruce Willis. Comedian Aviva Siegel joins the usual idiots who host this show.
Transcribe →9 1/2 Weeks vs 50 Shades of Grey
Feb 14, 202302:52:59Tap to summarizeWorst Scene returns with a special double length Valentine's Day Episode to kick-off Erotic Thriller Month: we discuss the worst scene in 9 1/2 Weeks vs the best scene in 50 Shades of Grey. Are either of these films any good? Will Richard and George faint from embarrassment while discussing them? Who is sexier, young hot Mickey Rourke or bland bdsm businessman Jamie Dornan (Should have been named Boreman, am I right?)? Only one way to find out.
