A little game I play while watching very bad movies is imagining the joy I will have during the later conversation that I will have about it with John Wilson, Founder and Head Berry of the Golden Raspberry Awards Foundation during our annual interview. The Razzies, as their award is known, even has a special… Read More »
The 2022 Razzie Awards — John Wilson Interview
It is with both delight and relief that I am able to report that nothing can stop the Razzies ™. The pandemic may have put the kaibosh on the much anticipated 40th anniversary celebration of this valuable public service, but John Wilson’s brainchild has yet to miss a year since 1980 in naming and shaming films… Read More »

BRIGSBY BEAR — Kyle Mooney & Dave McCary Talk Trust, Wardrobe, and Matzo Ball Soup.
BRIGSBY BEAR is a unique creation. An absurdist comedy that heralds the triumph of innocence over cynicism, it is heartwarming in its celebration of creativity as applied to obsessive fandom, in this case of the eponymous star of a kid’s television show. It’s that last part that I wanted to discuss with Kyle Mooney and… Read More »

I always look forward to my annual interview with John Wilson. Especially when I’m sitting through one of the very, very bad movies that will be singled out for the Razzie treatment.

John Wilson Presents the 2011 Razzie Awards
I’ve interviewed John Wilson, founder and Head Berry of the Golden Raspberry Awards Foundation, every year since 1997.

In particular,… Read More »
John Wilson on the 2003 Golden Raspberry Awards
There is a reason that this is one interview that I look forward to doing every year. Founder and Head Raspberry of the Golden Raspberry Awards Foundation, John Wilson performs what I always term a valuable public service on behalf of the moviegoing public by skewering the purveyors of bad cinema in a very public, very funny way every year… Read More »
John Wilson Gives Hollywood Its Due with the 2008 Golden Raspberry Awards
The Golden Raspberry Awards Foundation, bestower of the UNcoveted Razzie award for the worst of the worst in cinema is, as I always refer to it, a valuable public service as well as a wildly funny send-up of the excesses of the awards season in Hollywood. John Wilson, the founder and Head Berry of the… Read More »
