- Asked whether Cocktail is the greatest bad movie ever, this participant offers a top five: No. 5 the Sylvester Stallone arm-wrestling movie, rewatched as much as any 1980s movie as a kid because it was always on WPIX. — Sean Fennessey
- Amid agreeing interjections, the Stallone arm-wrestling movie is joked about as a stealth divorce movie.
- No. 4 is Congo, praised as an adaptation of the novel with an incredible Laura Linney performance; No. 3 is Showgirls, said to be Chris's number one. — Sean Fennessey
- No. 2 is Anaconda and No. 1 has to be Cocktail. — Sean Fennessey
- A reply argues Showgirls and Anaconda may be ineligible because their makers knew or winked at the badness, with Snakes on a Plane as the ultimate intentionally bad movie.
- The hosts say Cocktail went through 40 versions of the script, is based on a book, tried to say something about 80s wealth, turned into dudes flipping bottles, and made a lot of money.
