At the 1999 box office, the Dennis Rodman action vehicle Simon Sez came in at...

Well, actually, we don't know, because Box Office Mojo's rankings end at #200, which was American Movie, which made $1,165,795.

Simon Sez made $292,152 (somehow) on a budget of...well, quite a bit more than that, probably.

You've probably never heard of Simon Sez, and we hadn't either, until Joey came upon it accidentally and it was just a movie we couldn't pass up.

Simon Sez is a very strange relic of its time, a Eurotrash martial arts action movie, directed by the guy who wrote the Iron Eagle trilogy, that keeps switching genres, featuring an unbearable performance by an unbearable human being (Dane Cook) that was meant for Robert Downey Jr.

It is, to use a variation of a phrase we often use on the show, a movie that could only be made at the time.

But it's so bizarre and bad that it's impossible to not be fascinated by. We watched it so you don't have to, but we had a great time talking about it with filmmaker Matt Stuertz.
