Episode 325: So Bad Its Rad Apr 07, 2025

Show notes

In this wildly fun episode of The Dana Buckler Show, Dana teams up with returning guest Jason Waters to dive into the wonderfully weird world of bad movies we absolutely love. From over-the-top acting and nonsensical plots to unforgettable one-liners, we're celebrating the cinematic misfires that somehow became cult classics.

We’re talking guilty pleasures, unintentional comedy gold, and those infamous flops that earned a permanent spot in our hearts. Whether it’s a low-budget disaster or a misguided blockbuster, these are the films we can’t stop watching—no matter how bad they are.

So grab your popcorn (and maybe a stiff drink), and join us as we pay tribute to the movies that failed spectacularly but succeeded in entertaining us.

🎬 Some of the titles we discuss might surprise you... or make you say, "Seriously?"

Episode 323: "The Plus One" with Author David Klein Mar 03, 2025

Show notes

On this episode of The Dana Buckler Show, I'm joined by writer, editor, and podcaster David Klein. David's new book, The Plus One: Getting By on Good Connections in the Analog Age, is a fascinating memoir that chronicles his remarkable life story. In the book, David shares how having a very famous cousin—none other than Winona Ryder—opened doors to incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experiences that most of us could only dream about. It's an honest, insightful, and often hilarious look at what happens when proximity to fame collides with everyday life.
