Show Notes
James, Ryan, and Clint dig into a massive pile of physical mail (including Christopher Lambert, Will Ferrell double features, Nicole Kidman, and a freshly covered Firewalker copy), then nearly die from 1.5-million-Scoville salsa and ghost pepper chips.
Curt writes in to address the Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls debate that lit up the comments, sparking a full-table conversation about comedy, subjectivity, and why some movies hit differently.
Rachel and Mel jump in for the second half as more packages, voicemails, and emails roll in — racing stories, kid movie trauma, Firewalker confusion, the sexiest nut debate, and a live-ish call that almost interrupts the show.
It’s pure Mailbag chaos. Packages were opened. Opinions were had. Nobody sent a dick (this time).

More from Bad Movies Rule!
Alice is back in another underground Umbrella lab, clones are running wild, and Jill Valentine is somehow worse than ever. We go scene-by-scene through the fifth Resident Evil movie — reverse openings, napkin awakenings, laser grids, Tokyo simulations, Call of Duty zombies, ax-wielding giants, and a White House finale that somehow feels like Mordor. Bob, Joe, and Stephanie join James as the chaos escalates, the running gags pile up, and we hand out the usual awards. Does this one rule, or is it just another bad movie? You’ll have to listen to find out.
The BMR Pregame Show is live from Raccoon City. James, Clint, and Ryan get you ready for this Friday’s full episode on Resident Evil Retribution (2012) — the fifth movie in the series and the one where things have almost certainly stopped pretending to make sense.
The mailbag is stacked this week. A Beaverton care package delivers Oregon saltwater taffy (pickle pieces quarantined) plus a full Macho Man Randy Savage rap CD that disses Hogan. The movie haul includes a bloody In a Violent Nature collector’s set, The Burning, Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, brutal WWII John Wick-style action, and the complete Leprechaun collection just in time for the new series.
Warwick Davis in the role that somehow launched an eight-movie franchise. Jennifer Aniston in her first big movie. And Dana joins the show for the very first time to help us figure out how a movie this dumb got made.
BMR Pregame: Leprechaun (1993). The Dead Starfish lace up against a little guy in a box, and nobody on the panel has a clean memory of how this actually goes.
