Big news: after a long hiatus to focus on more screenings and live events, we've finally released I Love Bad Movies #6: The Food Issue! Filled with essays, comics, and illustrations about bad food-heavy films, this is actually our most visual-heavy issue -- including illustrated recipes for making your own version of the stuff from The Stuff at home, and diagrams of some of our favorite (awful-seeming) sandwiches as seen on screen.
You can get all six issues of I Love Bad Movies for one low price with this discount pack at our Etsy store, or just pick up the new issue on its own here. We'd waited two years to release a new issue, and hope you're as hungry to read this one as we were to prepare it for you!

What is I Love Bad Movies?
I Love Bad Movies is a collaborative zine (self-published magazine) filled with essays, illustrations, and comics about the most enjoyably bad films. Creator Kseniya Yarosh and Co-Editor Matt Carman publish each issue with a specific theme: "Visions of the Future," "Kids' Movies," "Before and After They Were Famous," etc.
With a roster of several dozen writers, artists, comedians, film nerds, and special guests, each issue of I Love Bad Movies contains fresh, intelligent perspectives on those great-bad movies which some of us can't help but love.
Themes of I Love Bad Movies issues (all available here):
#6: The Food Issue (e.g. Soylent Green, Ravenous, The Stuff, Foodfight!)
#5: Early and Late Roles or, "Before and After They Were Famous." (e.g. Purple Rain, Fear, Teen Wolf Too, The Island of Dr. Moreau)
#4: Kids' movies and movies about kids and teens. (e.g. Return to Oz, Mac and Me, Newsies, Class of 1984)
#3: Visions of the Future: Apocalypse, robots, space, and computers. (e.g. Barbarella, The Net, Demolition Man, Southland Tales)
#2: Films with themes of love, sex, and friendship. (e.g. The Room, Hackers, Gleaming the Cube, Grease 2)
#1: The grab bag that started it all. (e.g. Troll 2, Road House, Showgirls, Sleepaway Camp)
Matt and Kseniya also host screenings of bad movies in New York City (and occasionally around the country), and exhibit at zine fests a few times per year. Check out our EVENTS page for the latest news on I Love Bad Movies events and appearances.

A big Thank You to everyone who came out to this year's Brooklyn Zine Fest at the beautiful Brooklyn Historical Society on Saturday, April 26th and Sunday, April 27th, 2014! We debuted the new I Love Bad Movies #6: The Food Issue, met some great folks, and got to introduce fans to some of our contributors who stopped by. Stay tuned for when #6 will be up for sale online. For now, some of our favorite photos by Sylvie Rosokoff.

I Love Bad Movies creators Kseniya & Matt featured on Indiewire's "Movie Lovers We Love"
Indiewire interviewed Kseniya & Matt about I Love Bad Movies, their live screening events, and some of their favorite good and bad films as part of the regular series "Movie Lovers We Love." That's a lot of love. A few teasers:
About the live events: ""The crowd is generally people just like us: smart folks who like dumb stuff."
Why a print-only zine? "You can’t open these essays in a new tab and save them for later or e-mail your friend a link. You have to read everything on paper or meet your buddy for coffee to pass the issue on in person."
On our intentions: "The 'love' is intentional: we’re celebrating the unusual, fascinating, and laudably flawed."
"As long as filmmakers try but fail to make good movies, there will be people hoisting these turdish gems on their shoulders like ugly little cinematic champions."
