To coincide with the release of Showgirls, Teen Wolves, And Astro Zombies in the US, I’ve been writing a bunch of articles.

Here’s one for RottenTomatoes about unlikely kiddie movie stars.

There’s this on A-list hotties who started as Z-grade notties, for Hollywood Crush over at MTV.

And Movieline has exclusively excerpted a chapter about Bigfoot movies.

If you’re a super glutton for punishment, here is one of the 20 radio interviews I did today on morning shows across the United States, from Raleigh and Tucson to Philadelphia and Dallas.

“I did not HEEET HER! I deeed NARRRT! Oh, hi Mark!”

If you don’t know what this means, you have the chance to find out at the Sydney launch of Showgirls, Teen Wolves And Astro Zombies on February 1 at Event Cinemas, Bondi Junction.

Not only will I be prattling on about bad movies and showing some priceless clips, but we’ll also be presenting The Room, the 21st century’s answer to Plan 9 From Outer Space.

Written, directed and starring Tommy Wiseau, or Borat Schwarzenwalken, as I like to think of him, this is Z-grade melodrama at its very finest.

Get along! Bring your friends! Pass it on!

The lovely guys and gals over at Modern Tonic posted this review.

Inspired – terrified, actually – by the prospect of having to see Tooth Fairy, I took a look into the crystal ball at what’s likely to suck balls on screen in 2010.

I wound up talking bad movies on KPCC in Los Angeles with the well-informed and very lovely Larry Mantle and his guest critics Andy Klein of Brand X and Lael Loewenstein of Variety.

Listen here.

Last time I was on this show, about five years ago, I came off a bit Forrest Gump-like, looking at the wrong camera for most of the segment and rasping out a review thanks to a serious case of nervous desert mouth.

This was a bit better. And actually kinda fun. (I love that the trailers they’re rotating before the segment online are for Old Dogs and Fighting).
