There's No Escaping 'The Room'

There's No Escaping 'The Room'

Author: Pop Culture Junkie May 11, 2023 Duration: 23:17
Nicole and Shauna had the dubious honor of attending a 20th Anniversary Screening of The Room with Greg Sestero, and that led to a discussion of cult classics like Clerks, The Evil Dead, The Cornetto Trilogy and more. Then Shauna remembers her favorite midnight movie experiences, and invites Nicole to lose her Rocky Horror Picture Show virginity with her soon. Moving from so-bad-they're-good movies to just plain bad movies, the Junkies then determine the worst movies they've ever seen. Spoiler alert: the name Adam Sandler is mentioned.
