"Michael Adams's book is great fun! No one intends to make a truly bad movie, but when they do, Michael Adams will be there to watch it...and make it entertaining!" --John Landis, director of Trading Places and The Blues Brothers
In Showgirls, Teen Wolves, and Astro Zombies, film critic Michael Adams embarks on a year-long odyssey to discover the worst movie ever made, which Mystery Science Theater 3000 star, writer, and director Kevin Murphy calls "disturbingly comprehensive, joyously critical, and the best of its kind." From all-time cult classics such as Reefer Madness and Plan 9 from Outer Space to new entries to the pantheon such as Gigli and Baby Geniuses, no genre, star, or director is safe from Adams's acerbic wit and hilarious observations. In the vein of A.J. Jacobs's New York Times bestselling book The Know-It-All, and with the snarky sarcasm of television's Mystery Science Theater 3000 and The Soup, Showgirls, Teen Wolves, and Astro Zombies leaves no stone unturned. With a foreword by cult director George A. Romero (Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead).
Michael Adams is the reviews editor of the Australian edition of Empire magazine and a contributor to Men's Style, Rolling Stone, and RottenTomatoes.com. He also writes the Bad Movies We Love column for Movieline.com and the Schlock & Awe column for TheWrap.com. He lives in Sydney. Those who saw his cameo as Stoned Hippy in the Z-grade classic Bloodlust won't be looking forward to his zombie acting in Survival of the Dead.
