Hosted by Andrew Quinn and Darren Mooney and with special guest Andy Melhuish, The Bottom 100 is a subset of The 250. It is a journey through the worst 100 movies of all-time, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users.
This time, Albert Pyun’s Captain America.
Polio sufferer Steve Rogers is selected for a dangerous experiment that could turn the tide of the Second World War, being reborn as Captain America. When a mission behind enemy lines throws him into conflict with the Italian supervillain the Red Skull, Steve Rogers ends up trapped in the ice. However, he awakens just as his country needs him most.
At time of recording, it was ranked the 65th worst movie of all time on the Internet Movie Database.
Notes:
- Recorded 27 May 2021.
- Note: Due to the COVID-19 situation, this episode was recorded remotely. We suspect, going forward that a lot of our episodes will be until the crisis resolves.
- Note: This is a special bonus episode, because Andy mentioned a fondness for Captain America. So we thought we’d take the opportunity for a short(er) bonus companion episode.
