        <description>Welcome to This Thing Is Bad, a show about what's wrong with the media everyone is supposed to love. Are we an underground rebellion against angry fandom culture? A show dedicated to critiquing the things that deserve so richly to be critiqued, held under the light of a real review instead of on their media pedestals? Maybe and maybe.

Join Jack Grimes and Quinn Wolf on a biweekly journey across the media pantheon as they pick apart a show, movie, or franchise you're never supposed to pick apart- and tell you why this thing is bad.

Is Cuphead still good, even though it's too hard? Quinn, who's good at video games, says it is, but Jack, who just wanted to see some good art, says no- and why making a video game hard is one of the worst design choices you can make.

Are we an underground rebellion against angry fandom culture? A show dedicated to critiquing the things that deserve so richly to be critiqued, held under the light of a real review instead of on their media pedestals? Maybe and maybe.

Join Jack Grimes and Quinn Wolf on a biweekly journey across the media pantheon as they pick apart a show, movie, or franchise you're never supposed to pick apart- and tell you why this thing is bad.
