Showgirls, Teen Wolves, and Astro Zombies: A Film Critic's Year-Long Quest to Find the Worst Movie Ever Made
&#8220;Michael Adams&#8217; 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.&#8221; (John Landis, director of Trading Places and The Blues Brothers)&#8220;Michael Adams is the Peter Biskind of really crappy movies. I thank him for watching these films so I didn&#8217;t have to claw my eyes out myself.&#8221; (A.J. Jacobs, New York Times bestselling author of The Know-It-All and The Year of Living Biblically)&#8220;Like many of the bad movies it celebrates, this book is addictive, mesmerizing and endlessly amusing.&#8221; (Harry Medved, co-author of The Golden Turkey Awards and The Fifty Worst Films of All Time)&#8220;Reading Michael Adams&#8217; entertaining and disturbingly comprehensive book is like being dragged through the fun parts of Hell in a flame-proof suit. Having had both hands in the cesspools of cinema for over twenty years, I can say with confidence that this book is the best of its kind: a joyously critical, deeply personal journey through a medium we love to hate almost as much as we love to love.&#8221; (Kevin Murphy, co-star/writer of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and author of A Year At the Movies)
