This week on Get Doc'd, hosts Daphne, Wilsen and Michael "El Profesor" tackle a documentary about the worst movie ever made — and somehow end up defending it.
We're diving into Best Worst Movie, the 2009 doc from Michael Paul Stephenson, who starred in Troll 2 as a child and grew up watching it become a punchline. Troll 2 has no trolls, a script nobody was allowed to change, and a cast of non-actors who had no idea what they were making. Twenty years later, it's a midnight-movie phenomenon with sold-out screenings and fans who know every line.
Join us as we follow Alabama dentist George Hardy through the surreal circuit of conventions and cult stardom, and watch director Claudio Fragasso insist — with real hurt in his eyes — that the film was a masterpiece all along. We break down the highs, the lows, and the genuinely bittersweet turns that make this one so much more than a roast of bad cinema. Tune in as we unpack how a total creative failure turned into a community, and ask what it says about fame, embarrassment, and the strange things people decide to love.
