Worst of 2013

(original podcast date 1-13-14)
Hooray! After two weeks of holiday and arctic temperatures we returned from our Igloos just in time to rain vituperation with our Worst of 2013 lists. We didn't compare or rehearse the lists beforehand, which always makes this show interesting. Like the years before, we spent much of the last days of December revisiting the worst-reviewed critical failures of the year, and again I noticed that the "worst" of 2013 actually consisted of a few stupid movies that really weren't worth kicking a fuss about (I differentiate between bad and merely stupid), particularly when compared to the more highly anticipated efforts which garnered upwards of a billion in gross and were, in my estimation, boring bloated nightmares. I'm talking more specifically of my #'s 6, 4, 2, and 1. But there was certainly plenty to be hated, so chime in with your own worst-of and we can all complain together.
