Last night I watched ‘The Class of Nuke ‘Em High’ for the first time since high school. It was the first intentionally bad movie I’d ever seen, chosen one night at #Blockbuster in the late #80s with two of my close friends (probably after an hour of lighthearted bickering).
I’ve loved #BadMovies since and sharing it with my bad-movie-loving 14yo was fun (with pauses to discuss the tolerance in the 80s for sexual assault, homophobia, & transphobia, as well as #Troma’s limit-pushing in general).
It was dumb, stupid, offensive and still laugh-out-loud funny during the moar ridiculous parts. And it felt new because I remembered only a single beat from the movie.
I’m really hoping that the kid & their friends decide to make a bad movie sometime, it’s a lot easier now than it was back in the day. And of course I hope to get a role, ideally with a fake-looking & needlessly gory death.
