An original video series hosted by Cecil Trachenburg!
Cecil Trachenburg Good Bad Flicks is a show not only dedicated to rare movies, but also forgotten classics and misunderstood box office bombs.

With a healthy dose of Irish sarcasm, he throws a few jabs at even his most cherished favorites.
Shark Night 3D (2011)
Good Bad Flicks Episode #17
Posted May 15 2012 by Cecil Trachenburg

From the director of Snakes on a Plane, this movie follows a group of college kids (including Sara Paxton and Katharine McPhee, who fortunately spend most of the move in bikinis, but unfortunately never less than that, because this movie is PG-13) as they go on the perfect vacation, only to find out they're being fed to sharks by a group of rednecks intent on making awesome internet videos!

DOA: Dead or Alive (2006)
Good Bad Flicks Episode #16
Posted May 7 2012 by Cecil Trachenburg

Based on the video game of the same name, it's a film with a risky concept: Gather four hot women (Holly Valance, Devon Aoki, Sarah Carter, Jaime Pressly), put them in as little clothes as possible, and have them fight each other! Luckily for Cecil, the concept works, making for one of the best video game adaptations ever.

Pieces (1982)
Good Bad Flicks Episode #15
Posted May 1 2012 by Cecil Trachenburg

It's one of Cecil's favorite slasher films ever, starring Christopher and Lynda Day George, "Bruce Le" [sic], and the kid from Pod People tracking down a serial killer who's dismembering coeds to create a jigsaw puzzle made from body parts. Whoever the killer might be, one thing's for sure: he's a real bastard. Bastard!! BASTARD!!

Double Dragon (1994)
Good Bad Flicks Episode #14
Posted Apr 16 2012 by Cecil Trachenburg

Loosely based on the arcade game of the same name, Double Dragon stars Party of Five's Scott Wolf and future Iron Chef host Mark Dacascos as two interracial brothers living in post-apocalyptic Los Angeles in the far-flung year of 2007. With the help of Alyssa Milano, they protect one-half of an ancient Chinese talisman from falling into the hands of crime lord Robert Patrick, who will stop at nothing to reassemble the medallion and gain absolute power.

Spice World (1997)
Good Bad Flicks Episode #13
Posted Apr 4 2012 by Cecil Trachenburg

Watch as the Spice Girls revive a kid from a coma, help deliver a baby, encounter aliens, and talk various celebrities who all should have known better (including Elton John, Bob Hoskins, Elvis Costello, and Hugh Laurie) into making cameos!

Cyborg 2 (1993)
Good Bad Flicks Episode #12
Posted Mar 27 2012 by Cecil Trachenburg

Starring a 17 year old Angelina Jolie in her first-ever lead role, Cyborg 2 takes place in a future where the world is ruled by corporations, who use espionage cyborgs loaded with explosives to assassinate key targets. Angelina is destined to get blowed up good, but she learns her fate and goes on the run with Casey Jones from TMNT, while being pursued by a mostly off-screen Jack Palance.

Dr. Giggles (1992)
Good Bad Flicks Episode #11
Posted Mar 20 2012 by Cecil Trachenburg

The mentally challenged guy from L.A. Law is the doctor from hell! He escapes from a mental hospital to get his revenge on the local teens, and kills loads of people using things like: a thermometer, a giant band-aid, and a blood pressure cuff! Get it? 'Cause he's a doctor!

The Human Centipede (First Sequence) (2009)
Good Bad Flicks Episode #10
Posted Feb 23 2012 by Cecil Trachenburg

Cecil brings us the tale of a mad scientist who kidnaps three tourists and creates a “human centipede” by stitching together their... well, unless you’ve been living on Mars for the past few years, you already know what this movie’s about.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988)
Good Bad Flicks Episode #9
Posted Feb 2 2012 by Cecil Trachenburg

Despite the title, this isn't just a goofy romp with guys in clown costumes. An incredible amount of detail was put into this movie, from the amazing Klown makeup to a lot of little touches that only add to the film's cleverness. And above all, the way they played this insane concept completely straight makes this one to watch.

Catwoman (2004)
Good Bad Flicks Episode #8
Posted Jan 11 2012 by Cecil Trachenburg

Cecil looks at Catwoman, starring Halle Berry as a cosmetics company employee who undergoes basically the same origin as Michelle Pfeiffer in Batman Returns and becomes a superhero! Many consider this to be a strong contender for worst comic book movie ever made, but in this episode, Cecil explains why he genuinely loves Catwoman.

Santa with Muscles (1996)
Good Bad Flicks Episode #7
Posted Dec 20 2011 by Cecil Trachenburg

It’s an Agony Booth Christmas Special as Cecil watches Santa with Muscles, starring Hulk Hogan playing against type as a rich buffoon, who falls down a trash chute and starts believing he's Santa Claus. He decides to help out some hapless orphans (among them, Mila Kunis) in danger of having their home demolished by evil germophobe Ed Begley, Jr. A mainstay of the IMDb’s Bottom 100 list for over a decade, is it possible Cecil enjoyed this one? Watch and find out!

Fear (1996)
Good Bad Flicks Episode #6
Posted Dec 9 2011 by Cecil Trachenburg

In this episode, Cecil watches Fear, starring Reese Witherspoon as Nicole, a young girl stalked by her psycho ex-boyfriend Mark Wahlberg. Despite the pedestrian plot, the movie is wall-to-wall wackiness, thanks mostly to Wahlberg giving a hilariously over-the-top performance. Watch as Marky Mark finger-bangs Reese Witherspoon on a roller coaster! Watch as he gives himself a NICOLE 4 EVA tattoo with a ballpoint pen! And in the end, nature will take its course... so let me in the fucking house!

Top 10 Bad Movie Taglines
Good Bad Flicks Episode #5
Posted Nov 21 2011 by Cecil Trachenburg

In this installment of Good Bad Flicks, Cecil examines an affliction that can strike both good movies and bad movies: terrible slogans getting slapped on the poster by clueless studio marketing departments. In this video, Cecil counts down the 10 worst one-line blurbs ever used to sell a movie!

Hack-O-Lantern (1988)
Good Bad Flicks Episode #4
Posted Oct 29 2011 by Cecil Trachenburg

“Just in time for Halloween, Cecil brings us Hack-O-Lantern, the tale of an old man (Hy Pyke, the bar owner from Blade Runner, which is enough to get him top billing here) who tries to initiate his young grandson Tommy (Gregory Scott Cummins) into a devil-worshipping cult. Come for the satanic killing spree, stay for the incest and the heavy metal music video randomly dropped into the middle of the movie!”

Masters of the Universe (1987)
Good Bad Flicks Episode #3
Posted Oct 5 2011 by Cecil Trachenburg

“Break out your action figures, and settle in for pure ‘80s awesomeness! Long before the horrendous Transformers movies, there was Masters of the Universe, a live action movie that adapted a toy/cartoon series, and actually did it right! Sure, it may be just another fish out of water story, and there may be a few too many new characters, but overall the film delivers. Sword battles, weird creatures, and a 22 year old Courtney Cox? Sign me up!”

Cherry 2000 (1987)
Good Bad Flicks Episode #2
Posted Sep 14 2011 by Cecil Trachenburg

“This episode, it’s Cherry 2000, a 1987 sci-fi action flick about a man who breaks his robot wife, and hires a redheaded Melanie Griffith to head into the desert wastelands to find him an exact duplicate. If you think the synopsis sounds ridiculous, wait until you actually see it.”

Dante's Peak (1997)
Good Bad Flicks Episode #1
Posted Sep 6 2011 by Cecil Trachenburg

“It’s the debut of a new show, Good Bad Flicks, where your host Cecil Trachenburg takes you through rare movies, forgotten classics, and misunderstood box office bombs! First up is Dante’s Peak, a disaster film that deserves more attention. It was released amidst a glut of disaster films in the mid ‘90s, and was unfortunately overshadowed by many of them. But almost 15 years later, the film still holds up. The effects are fantastic, and even though the story won't win any awards, the movie is a blast (in more ways than one)!”
