We like to feel fancy... and you're going to feel it by watching this show!
MichaelBTan27 April 2014
Good Bad Flicks is a special kind of show by Cecil Trachenburg! He likes to review movies that either got a bad reputation but deserve more recognition, got screwed up by producers, directors or writers but still have something good in it or just should be considered as guilty pleasures.

Cecil's show has some great unique humor and funny jokes but he's also really clever if it comes to arguing. Even if you don't agree with his opinions you can still see from where he's coming from. You also can't deny that he really does his research and you can't argue against real facts.

This show also made me realize that even low budget movies can offer way more than any of the big budget movies these days. If you don't know what I talking about then I really recommend his "Exploring They Live" review in which he goes into depth details and explains how entertaining yet so meaningful this movie can be despite being a low budget million dollar movie.

Good Bad Flicks is a very entertaining show and even if it's not as well known as "The Angry Video Game Nerd" or "The Nostalgia Critic": Cecil's show is one of the greatest shows we have on the internet and I recommend it to anyone who doesn't always want to hear the exact same opinions about supposedly bad movies over and over again.

And unlike most the new Nostalgia Critic episodes: You can feel the heart and effort that was put into recent episodes instead of doing this just because everyone want you to do so. Not one joke felt shoehorned in and the movie choices don't feel out of place.

Final Verdict: Good Bad Flicks might not be the show for the big crowd but it entertains the audience with opinions away from the mainstream and humor as original as the show itself!

"Bagul!!!" Excellently written series of movie reviews done by one very talented guy. Underrated.
This is one of my favourite internet shows about movie reviews. I always love watching the newest episodes right away and I find Good Bad Flicks to be a cut above many similar shows mainly because I like the narrator, he makes me neither want to smack him sometimes for being too smug or just turn the programme off after five minutes because he's too loud and obnoxious. To me Cecil is a very likable and witty guy and it's like he's not even trying to be, he's just to me a really a good talker and is easy to listen to and has a perfect voice for this kind of medium. He's communicative with his fans and will sometimes take suggestions for episodes. He clearly does his research and often includes fascinating trivia about a movie's background and he encourages viewers to not only laugh at the terrible quality of some of the films but also to develop an appreciation for the struggles of those who made them become a reality. One of my favourites is the "Exploring Mosquito" episode, because he talks about the late Gunnar Hansen's career and passing and makes it into a heartfelt little tribute to the man. Despite the name which fits the show like a glove, very few of the reviews are ever about films that could be considered so bad they're good, at least not to me. They're mostly about obscure and retro horror sci-fi and action movies that you may or may not have heard of. He's also recently started doing tiny reviewettes on current popular movies that have just come out. I don't know about feeling 'fancy' but good or bad I'm always satisfied, I value the guy's opinion, he knows my kind of movies. I've gotten several of the flicks that he's talked about in order to see for myself and enjoyed most of them a lot, such as Sleepaway Camp, I Come in Peace, Bad Channels, and Pandora. Even if I know of and don't like the movie he's talking about I still like listening to him talk, he's very inoffensive and isn't trying to be anything other than a guy just giving his opinion and I respect that. He's actually got criticism for doing a lot of reviews where he liked the movie, which was one of the most disheartening and pathetic things I'd ever heard of. I've had my fill of ranters, just when the f**k did expressing your opinion about something in a positive way become something to be sneered at? And he doesn't like everything anyway. He's definitely not a fan of cheap jump-scare endings! He of course mainly does movies, but sometimes he does different stuff like tell cool scary stories from his personal life or awesome stuff about all the references in Cabin in the Woods or Silent Hill, those were brilliant. He's been struggling with the stricter rules on Youtube recently but he still manages to put out several fantastic exploring reviews a month, he's one that definitely deserves all the support for his channel that he can get! Anyway I've prattled on enough, I find him a joy to listen to and his reviews terrific, I'd happily recommend you check it out. Keep up the good work man.

Accessable, Informative...and funny as hell!

Cecil has put out some of my favourite internet movie reviews of all time. His reviews are insightful and hilarious! He covers mainly cult and shlock but sometimes more mainstream releases. Highly recommended.

The Best show on youtube. Bar none.
ThePiousPatriot20 August 2018
This guy does this perfectly. It's not just a movie review. Sometimes, it's not even a review at all. Just watch it. After one episode, I had to watch his entire backlog, which I'm still working on doing. The guy was just meant to do this. Informative tidbits you've never known that he finds by deep research of a film, hilarious commentary, and honest reviews. Just don't forget the name

Dvd commentaries condensed for the lazy fan.
TeenVamp18 March 2020
Has anyone ever pointed out that all this youtuber does is watch the extra's and commentary tracks on dvd's and blu-rays then write the information out? So if you're an actual educated fan of whatever movie he's reviewing you'll get ZERO new information. He also tends to defend really horrible movies AT LENGTH. Movies that have like a 3.0 here on imdb. You've been warned
