Disasters in the Making

Hosted ByBrad Slager and Paul Young

Entertainment writers Brad Slager and Paul Young deliver their shared desire for the worst Hollywood has to offer. Each week they cover an infamous bad film and go over not just the laughable content but the poor decisions behind the making of a disaster.

They will also toss in odd Hollywood news, ridiculous movie marketing, and recommend other newly released bad movies on streaming and elsewhere. Make a tub of high-quality popcorn and settle back for low-quality entertainment!

Disasters in the Making: 07-16-26 Not Love, but a Miami Connection

Brad and Paul continue the Disasters in the Making bad-movie Mount Rushmore with the glorious cult chaos of Miami Connection. It has everything a certain kind of ’80s action disaster needs: motorcycle ninjas, drug dealers, martial arts, rock-band sincerity, questionable acting, and the unstoppable power of friendship. The guys dig into the strange magic of Y.K. Kim’s dream project, the Dragon Sound phenomenon, the Orlando-that-thinks-it’s-Miami geography, and the baffling creative choices that somehow make the movie more lovable instead of less. It is part karate movie, part rock musical, part after-school special, and all beautiful cinematic wreckage.
