When it comes to movies we love, there are the artistic
masterpieces and there are the foot-stomping crowd pleasers. But
there’s another particular kind of beloved movie, the one that
makes our friends groan, but that we rewatch incessantly; the one
that we can quote line for line, even as we giggle at the actors’
performances; the one that we’d say is great, but that we might
not say is good. These are the kinds of movies that Maya Salam, a
pop culture writer at The New York Times, covers in her monthly
column, The Good-Bad.

This episode is a celebration of good-bad movies, timed to the
release of “Practical Magic 2,” the long-awaited sequel to the
1998 cult film that Salam called “a bubbling cauldron of plot
holes and tones.” Our host Rachel Abrams talks to Salam about the
joys of loving a movie despite (or because of) its flaws. Then,
they’re joined by The Times’s canon editor, Gilbert Cruz, and
Taffy Brodesser-Akner, a Times Magazine writer, to discuss the
best of good-bad cinema.

On Today’s Episode:

Maya Salam covers pop culture for The New York
Times.

Gilbert Cruz is the canon editor for The New
York Times.

Taffy Brodesser-Akner is a features reporter for
The New York Times Magazine.
