61: Gigli (with Johnny Langan)

We’re kicking off our monster-sized 2000s Retrospective with what might be the most notorious critical and financial bomb of the decade: Martin Brest’s accidental swan song and the film that might have single-handedly ended the first iteration of Bennifer, “Gigli.” A sensationally weird miscalculation of epic proportions, “Gigli” is the worst film you’ve probably never seen.

So, does “Gigli” live up to its reputation? Does anyone walk away from this fiasco unscathed? Was there any version of this movie that wasn’t a complete and utter disaster? Has Martin Brest ever met a lesbian or even had sex? We do our best to answer these questions with reigning Rotten Rewind champ, Johnny Langan.

“Gigli” is available to stream for free on STARZ.

"No more wire hangers!" "Tina! Bring me the ax." "I'm not mad at you. I'm mad at the dirt." "She doesn't need an ambulance... She's drunk." Can a movie this quotable be that bad? In 1981, yes. Maybe. ...
